Well it’s been quite sometimes since I last properly wrote. Christmas and New Year seem to be a good reason for you to write something again. I never thought 2010 would completely turn me into a totally different person. After returning from NOC I took on something unexpected: to organizer 2 more conferences. That made [...]
