After a long and sometimes even boring process of finding “pros and cons” of different internet browsers, I finally decided that the best “user-friendly” web browser for bloggers and people addicted to social networking is Flock!
Why is it cool? Cuz Flock has amazing features that allow social networkers and bloggers post on different social networking sites and blog platforms from one single interface. Plus, it has installed “feed reader” that makes your life even easier saving your time from visiting each single web site or opening your “google reader”. Media Bar, Web Clipboard sidebar, Peoples sidebar, Accoutnts sidebar, etc, etc, etc…

Hm… Yet another mistake by the president of Kyrgyzstan Kurmanbek Bakiev. He recently appointed his son Maksim Bakiev to head the Central Development, Investments, Innovations Agency, a state organization formed after the recent large-scare reforms in government system of the country, initiated by the president himself. Experts say [ru] the Agency is a key organization in future economic development of Kyrgyzstan.
It seems Bakiev did not learn from the mistakes made by his predecessor Askar Akaev, whose family-based way of ruling finally caused his failure.
Maksim Bakiev short bio:
Finished high school in Kazarman village, then entered the Kyrgyz-Slavic University. In 1999 graduated with distinction from the Faculty of Law of the university.
The first professional experience was in the international law firm “Interpravo”. Was a member of the Advisory Board under the rule of the British holding company BCB Solution Limited.
The last five years – an international consultant, expert in strategic planning, geo-economics, marketing, logistics, quality management, legal and financial issues.
Until recently, a member of the Board of Directors of a multi Latvian holding Maval Aktiviti.
He headed the Wrestling Federation of the Kyrgyz Republic. During his leadership of the Federation Kyrgyz athletes won silver and bronze medals at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
Owns shares of the Blackpool Fooball Club, playing in the British Chamionship League.
Tiramisu is a cool, refreshing Italian dessert that once tasted, leaves an indelible impression on you.
Thats how Italians describe their heavenly dessert Tiramisu, which I had a chance to try yesterday night — a surprise gift made by a very close friend of mine for me and my nephew and sent via delivery service to us 
It is definitely one of the great desserts I have ever had
Feel its gonna be interesting

Raining outside… Hot cup of green tea, plaid and cousy armchair – my best friends for past two days… I feel like a rechargable battery out of energy… Sick (cold*), tired, and feel empty…
PS. It is unusually cold for September in Bishkek. Fortunately, BBC forecasts good weather soon in Bishkek. But hey, it is still better than in Istanbul…
Bishkek, BBC'c five-day weather outlook
Friends studying at the American University in Central Asia (AUCA) told me that AUCA students from Turkmenistan, who were not given permission to leave Turkmenistan due to their not-needed-in-Turkmenistan education at AUCA (official claim of Turkmen authorities), are being transferred to the American University in Bulgaria (AUBG).
However, Turkmen students themselves are not sure how real it is. But they hope the State Department of US, the main sponsor of Turkmen students at AUCA, will do its best to help them out in this situation.

So BarCamp Kyrgyzstan 2009, so much anticipated by me, has finally started, in Bishkek, at the American University in Central Asia (yes, the one that lost most of its Turkmen students)! People have already asked me what BarCamp is, how it is cooked and what it goes best with. Wikipedia answers:
BarCamp is an international network of user generated conferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants. The first BarCamps focused on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies, social protocols, and open data formats. The format has also been used for a variety of other topics, including public transit, health care, and political organizing.
Sounds very nerdish, doesn’t it? My personal “simplified” answer would be:
BarCamp is an event (some call it un(non)-conference) that does not have pre-written agenda. It gathers people form different backgrounds, but mostly internet junkies – bloggers, social networkers, web designers, etc – who share their ideas with their peers and network with them. The agenda (content) of BarCamp is created by participants themselves – they do presentations on different topics, and usually schedule them in the beginning of the day. Some BarCamps even have Ideas Market, where participants can present their ideas, be it commercial or not, to sponsors and, in case of success, get sponsorship. And BarCamps happen thoughout the world.
Less nerdish, I hope For more info, you can google for “BarCamp” and read what others write about it. And by the way, I am not participating there just as an ordinary blogger, but representing neweurasia, premier blogging network in Central Asia. If you are at Kyrgyz barcamp and read this post until 3:40 pm, Sept. 5, 2009, come to listen to my presentaion on neweurasia at 3:40 pm in conference room 310, AUCA.
