Looking back at 2005

Year 2005 was an eventful year in my life and in Nomadig.com. The following events mostly dictated the year (in no particular order):

Aapo. Our first child was born on April and life has never been the same. During the first eight months, he has been a constant source of joy and a great stress relief.

Travelling. I got to travel a lot due to my job during 2005. I visited United States four times, spent almost a month there; three times in France, and several times in Oulu. This will change as I’ll move forward on my career and join a new company next Wednesday. There will be some travelling, but to different destinations. Time will tell.

Web 2.0. The new emerging methodologies and ways of implementing web based software has been intriguing me a lot lately. I’ve been experimenting with some bits and pieces, but nothing major yet. Currently, the old styled systems sell all too well to get them revamped with AJAX and other recent gimmicks. You know, costs and benefits.

Moving to “countryside”. We moved to Ymmersta on late October and have never looked back. This place is so much better to raise children than Lauttasaari. To add a twist to the situation, my new job is located in Lauttasaari.

Company car. These things are a blessing for a person that would just like to get from point A to point B without thinking anything else but just the driving.
