Holiday’s finished …

Admiralteistvo
Our holiday in St Petersburg has finished πŸ™ and again we should go to work :(. But the holiday was fantastic: we walked on historic center of St Petersburg and Pushkin, we were in the Theatre of Comedy and watched very nice spectacle, we met our parents and friends, we were in the night club.
Also we are owners of digital camera – “Canon Power Shot S60”. So, we made about 200 photos in St Petersburg (I’ll upload them soon and write my impressions of the holiday). For the moment you can see small part of them.

Hurrah!!! It’s a Holiday!!!

Natural trail “Kallidonia Falls”

Troodos Map
We went to Troodos three weeks ago and walked by the way to Kallidonia Falls. We started from Psilo Dendro and passed 2 km to the first waterfall.
We went along small mountain stream (I don’t understand why it was called “Kryos Potamos river” … Well, maybe it looks like a river in the sprint time πŸ™‚ ) and enjoyed silence, fresheness and beautiful view. Also, we made a few photos.

Natural trail “Kalidonia Falls”
Starting point: About 700m from the road between Troodos and Platres near the President’s summer residence. Also accessible via a forest road which begins at the tourist road 2 kms from the Square.
Length: 3 kms Time: 1 1/2 hours
Points of interest: The trail follows a course along Kryos Potamos river, which never runs dry. It posses the Kalidonia Falls and ends at Psilo Dendro, in Pano Platres.

Linux guide to presentation programs.

Magic Point
I’ve found an interesing article about presentation programms for Linux – The Grumpy Editor’s guide to presentation programs.
It describes both well-known (at list for me πŸ™‚ ) graphical tools like KPresenter and OpenOffice and programms based on plain text files and a custom markup language: MagicPoint and Pointless.
Graphical editors give the best fit for overwhelming majority of users. But Linux gurus will prefer second group of presentation programms. Because they give them a possibility to create a perfect presentaion in they favourite editor: vim or emacs.
