Friends

Claimer:
The page does not show all my friends for various reasons, such as webspace, availability of pictures, my time to put everything up, etc. If you feel that your pic is not the best here, or that you are missing from this page, or you have a link to a homepage, that I can put along with your name drop me a line. We'll work it out :)

Tagir Nigmatulin
I met him in Troy, NY, while studying at RPI. We have graduated one semester apart. Tagir Received a PhD in Engineering Physics, and a semester later I received my Bachelors in Computer Science. Besides being good friends, we have always been hepling each other. Every time Tagir had a trouble with computers, I was the first person to be called. And when I had problems with a car, Tagir was there. It is still that way, except that most of our communications is by e-mail and phone. Tagir now works at General Electric.

Maryana Fishman, I knew her even before she secretly married Natan and changed her last name to Shvartsman (this is a long story, so don't ask). So, Maryanna and Natan Shvartsmans is now the proper way to call the couple. We still call them both "Fishmans" when they are not listening (shhhhhhh). I know them since 1996.

Dima Kushnirskiy aka Spinoza
I met Spinoza long ago on IRC (Internet Relay Chat). This was long before Web-chats and ICQ were available. He is a part of the people I hang out with in New York City. He knows lots of different people, likes woman, computers, physics, phylosophy and more. Spinoza is one of the people who was "involved" in me meeting Luba :).

Misha Krakovskiy
Misha is one of the people I met shortly after immigrating to the United States. We shared a desk (figuratively speeking) and quite a few homeworks (literaly speeking) while in the high school. Together with Misha and Borya Solovey we went through one of the toughest classes in Sheepshead Bay High school, and earned some credits for the college. Misha is now studying computer science (a very smart move, after wasting two years on pre-med -- and don't tell me, I have not urged you to go for CS at the beginning). He also works as a web designer. You can see one of his web pages, that he designed for himself (or in other words his homepage) right here!

Eugene Mogilevskiy aka Donyboy
I have met Eugene the Fall of 1999 in Brooklyn, NY. I have known him since 1994. Mostly electronically, through the internet and by telephone. This did not stop me from completing a half of his coursework in Computer Science :). Eugene lives in Indianopolis, Indiana. His dream is to become a history professor, this is why he studies computer science and plans on going to the law school. See the logic? Me too :).

Dima Kolodochka
Of all people shown on this page, Dima is the one I knew for the longest time! We studied together since the first grade of school, and lived almost across the street. So, we've been together a lot (so did our parents, who had to pick us up from school) :). Together we prepared the homeworks, played on the streets, exploded stuff and more! Now Dima still lives in Kiev, he is studying to be an architect. Now, when the internet became widely accessible even in Kiev, we are able to communicate through e-mail. It's been a long gap in the communications since I left Kiev in 1993... Dima promises, that soon he will have a homepage, so that I could put up a link from here :).
