My hosting plan for www.shcherbyna.com is almost over, and I decided not to continue it in my current place. Instead I am going to move everything to a free for MVPs hosting powered by http://orcsweb.com. Which means I will follow painful migration procedure and I can lost users, comments and pingbacks.

Buying computer in Switzerland
I was inspired to write this post after having tried several companies in Switzerland in terms of computer staff. First thing you notice in Switzerland is that: 1. The prices usually are higher than in US or Canada (difference is quite big) 2. There are only few companies where you can assemble machine from pieces [...]

Посещение Женевского автосалона …
После жизни некоторое время в Швайце я решил посетить наиболее популярный в мире автосалон в Женеве который обычно проходит каждый год в марте.

I guess, it may cause unpredictable results, even if WFP (Windows File Protection) will try to recover [...]

For example, the name Vladimir can be treated into Ukranian variants: Volodymyr, Volodimir, Volodymir, … Recently this problem touched me, because my original name (Володимир Щербина) should be [...]
See you in 2007 ;)
The year is almost over. A lot of things were done. Generally, the end of the year allows you to sum up what happened during these 365 days. What was right and what was wrong … For me, 2006 year was the year of breach. I did almost all things I planned to do. And [...]
