Important - not important

Actually , I was honestly going to write a long issue, most of which would be about network legislation, which the State Duma is going to discuss in May. After four fruitless attempts to concentrate, it became clear that I was unbearably bored writing about this. That is, it’s not boring at all, but personally I’m bored thinking about it now (public reflection is our favorite genre, as you know). In general, by force of will, I refuse verbose discussions about legislation, as well as about everything else, and put off constructive and useful information until better times (every week it seems to me that in a week they will come). Please forgive me - consider that my brain has taken a temporary vacation. There will be something else next (our optimism is inexhaustible).

Komtek

As predicted by the Bolsheviks and other theorists and practitioners, Comtek'2000 opened on Monday. Probably, for business people this event is of a completely business nature - for exhibition participants who are forced to come to the Expo Center early in the morning and wander around the stand of their company - definitely; but since I am deprived of the dubious pleasure of being present at the exhibition as a minimally official representative of anything, for many years this has been a completely separate event for me. Such a middle line between sleepless nights in front of the monitor and spring fever. That is, I come to Comtek to make sure that these two almost opposite phenomena are compatible. In our business, the main thing is to find at least some connection between everyday activities and emotional state.
