You can get and build latest version of GNOME 2 by the many ways:

Programmer’s Day

Real Programmer
Programmer
I’d like to congratulate all programmers with our day! I wish you clear code and minimum bugs! Cheers!!!

Programmer’s Day is a whimsical “holiday” on the 256th day of the year celebrated mostly by computer programmers. The reason for this is that 256 is equal to 2 to the power of 8, which is equal to the number of values that it is possible to represent in a byte of data. Traditions include drinking, acting silly, coding silly programs, mini computer games, playing with old computers, etc. Programmer’s Day usually falls on September 13th; on leap years, it is September 12th, due to the addition of February 29th into the calendar.

New movies in Limassol cinemas

I’ve updated Limassol cinema schedule. There are two new movies! First is very funny (I think) movie about the laziest cat in the world.

Garfield
HellBoy

Summary:
Jon Arbuckle buys a second pet, a dog named Odie. However, Odie is then abducted and it is up to Jon’s cat, Garfield, to find and rescue the canine.

Second one is a very very scary film about some boy from hell judge by the title!

Summary:
A demon, raised from infancy after being conjured by and rescued from the Nazis, grows up to become a defender against the forces of darkness.
Personally I’m waiting for Will Smith into a role of fighter with malicious robots!

The Family. The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty

The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty

From Ohio to Connecticut to Texas to Washington, D.C., Bush men and women have, over the past one hundred years, made millions of dollars, dominated our government, and created a legacy unlike any other twentieth– and twenty–first–century family.

Prescott Bush was a two–time senator from Connecticut who had the ear of Dwight D. Eisenhower and tangled with Joe McCarthy. His son George H. W. was a congressman, the head of the Republican National Committee during the Watergate era, the head of the CIA, vice president under Ronald Reagan, and then the forty–first president of the United States. One of his sons, Jeb, is governor of Florida and almost certainly a future presidential candidate. The eldest son, George W., is the forty–third president — possibly the most polarizing and controversial head of state the U.S. has ever had. How did these men — backed and often controlled by strong and single–minded women — rise to power? How did they maneuver their way from Yale and the secretive Skull and Bones through back door politics, the CIA, and the White House to have so much control over our lives? The answers are startling. The Bushes have altered history. This book might well alter the history of the Bushes.

New feature of Gmail

Gmail is still not available for public using. And it’s very sad news. Because Gmail is planning to offer mailboxes with size 1,000 megabytes! Besides there is a possibility to use your mailbox as additional storage on your computer. You just mount it and get another hard drive! This new feature is called GmailFS. More detail you can read in Richard Jones’s article – GmailFS – Gmail Filesystem

Olympic Games finished!

Olympic Games

XXVIII Olympic Games in Athens was closed yesterday. Russia is second in the countries rating by medals. It’s great news because our olympic team began faintly (we were on 11th place). But Russia finished very good – we are proud of our athletes!
Next Olympic Games will be in China in 2008. I’m affraid it will be a triumph of Chanese athletes.

Shrek 2

Shrek 2

I watched “Shrek-2” last Saturday in “Rio” cinema. I haven’t made a fun of movie for a long time. This is incredible, fabulous movie! In my opinion, the sequel is better than original. There are many gags, mock feature (pursuit of Shrek, Donkey and Puss In Boots).
Donkey is traditionally the best, but Puss In Boots is sudden windfall – “For you, baby, I can be anybody you like”.
Far Far Away is looks like California – villas of famous fairy characters, expensive shops, clarence-limousines and so on!
