{{Master Editor III Userbox}}

I am a Finnish man in my early forties. I have a Bachelor's Degree from the [[University of Helsinki]], only because I was too lazy to ever begin my Master's Thesis. I also have a full-time job as a computer programmer.

As well as Finnish culture, I like [[Star Trek]] and [[Transformers (toyline)|Transformers]], which should be obvious from the contributions I've made.

There might be more to come later.

==Random observations==
===ISO 5775===
Now this is something new - I almost put a copyvio tag on [[ISO 5775|an article]] that was created by its original copyright holder. Pretty embarrassing, isn't it?

===My old schoolmate===
I just found an article about one of my [[Janne Wirman|former schoolmates]]. All this time I had no idea he had become so famous.

===Heard in a public sauna from a woman===
''"When talking to a man, it's good to say the word "naked" every once in a while."''

===[[Richard Clifton-Dey]]===
For over a year and eight months, it seemed that a Wikipedia article claimed a man was both alive and dead.[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Richard_Clifton-Dey&diff=198085525&oldid=198074681] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Richard_Clifton-Dey&diff=327204209&oldid=297536835]
