Helsinki University of Technology

Got into Master’s Programme in Foundations of Advanced Computing there. Still waiting for The Royal Institute of Technology to publish the results. Thinking whether to go study for Master of Science degree or stay in Kemi for a year and continue working as a software engineer.

Once Upon a Time...

Hello, Kurre!

I'm sitting in front of you and writing you a letter. You're drinking your juice taking too much in your mouth and it makes your cheeks so huge. You drink again and sneeze your nose. you keep the paper of course. You complain that I don't want to waste a paper from an exercise book but why do you save all those papers with all your snot and bacterias on them? You have in every single pocket of yours. That's why it's terrible to wear anything after you as I feel disgusted by them every time I put my hand into the pocket and meet another paper piece. You know, it's not very hauska to tutustua with them so throw them away every time. Ok?

This pen is awful. I'll take another one. Now it's much better. Actually I was planning to sketch a GUI for my project on this particular piece of paper but decided to write you a letter. So here it is.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Pupu

Pupu wrote this letter, put it into envelope, wrote address on it, put a stamp on it and asked Kurre to send it. Kurre sent it and received it few days later. Few years later Kurre was cleaning and found this letter. Therefore it is published online for the first time ever.

Optical Measurements Laboratory

Accepted the offer. Starting there on Monday.

Dead Body Parts

Back in 2004 I used to date one chick studying in medical university. I have plenty of good memories and images connected with that time.

I've been going through some old photos and found these. Enjoy!

They have decided the date when they are going to decide. Tomorrow. Tomorrow it will all become clear.

Another Beauty of Mine

My Beauty

Looks as pretty as my unibody MacBook Pro. Yeah, I do like cars. My inner man is still stronger than my inner geek.

21

Here I am, 21, independent, earning my own living and able to afford high-end MacBook Pro and Peugeot 406, working as a software engineer and having several job offers despite the crisis. Proud of myself.

Job interview today. Birthday tomorrow.

Though my current employer seems to be willing to renew my contract and there's a new project in Optical Measurements Laboratory they are willing to hire me for, I would prefer to consider all the options. My wage request didn't seem to scare them away and I was invited for an interview. Going there in few minutes.

Is this what you meant?
Is this what you dreamed of?
When you were making your plans
Shaking the dirt off?

Do you feel like
You and I belong?
Just keep your eyes on the road
And nothing can go wrong

CV

Gotta update it here. Who knows what might turn up.

Job Offer

Got one. Not an actual offer but one company seems to be interested about me and asked me to send them my CV. Let's see what's gonna happen. I haven't even been looking for it, they found me themselves through one friend. My current contract expires in the end of February. Most likely I'm gonna get a new one and I would love to continue in Mionex or in Lab but I have two years of Master's studies to pay for so I if they offer me a higher wage I'll quit without hesitation.

Dreams do come true. Peugeout ain't BMW but I still have plenty of time. I have just started crossing things out from my wishlist. And I'm pretty proud of managing to cross out few of them all by myself.

Why do all good things come to an end?

My New Ride

Seems like I'm gonna get hired by Lab to deploy Subversion + Trac for their upcoming project. Anybody else interested in freelance collaboration consulting?

Ain't I handsome?
