A long-long time ago, in summer 2005, your humble servant made a first step in enlisting on a postgraduate programme. In October 2005 all the formal precedures were completed and I officially entered it. Yesterday the last dot in this story was put: the diploma of candidate of technical sciences (equal to English/American PhD, French Docteur and German Doktor) was delivered. The process was plagued by umerous delays and missed deadlines. Which in urn accounts for numerous battles that were not brought to the end due to a lack of time or a self imposed constrains. Nevertheless it's finished now, so... drinks are on Dr. Kosyanenko
