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, 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 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 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.[1] [2]
