Today, day after we left Minsk, two Belorussian activists were asked for an interview in KGB, because they have been meeting with DEMYC delegation members in Belarus.
If you do not know then bare in mind that in Belarus there is dictatorship and you are not allowed to think and make decisions you should be just following what the "big leader" says and be silent.
They will see most probably difficulties or exclusion from university and other "fun" in the life. In addition as worst thing they could face a up to 15 days arrest.
Yuris and Masha keep it up.
Your country will be free sooner or later.

Today 82 days after hurrah for 10 million concurrent users Skype has hit 11 million accounts logged in at the same time.
According to Jean's table it's exactly the same time as it took to get from 8 million to 9.
When we will hit 12 000 000?

So this is new year? Most people are giving promises what they will do more or better or what they want to achieve during this year of 2008.
I'm not going to give any of those, but on the other side I would like to share some details why this year is important for my country.
It's time to celebrate.
On 24th of February, it will be 90 years from declaring Estonia as independent nation from foreign powers.
It all happened in short time buffer on 1918, between two occupations, but the real independence was fought out from 1918 till 1920 in War of Independence. You can read more on history from Wikipedia.
Look at the special site dedicated to celebrate a year when Estonia declared itself as independent.
Check out YouTube channel EEESTI which has bunch of short video clips about everyday IT life in here.
To end with funnier tones check out explanatory video on Estonians, though it's has audio in Estonian, but still a good to watch:
