It has been a while that I’ve given any updates of my life in the blog. In fact, I’ve been on holiday and quite totally restricted myself from using the Internet.
The itch grows every day and I’ve emptied my inbox a couple of times during the past week — mainly due to explosion of my holiday notification that looped over 14 000 messages to my inbox in less than 50 hours.
There is another reason for not writing anything here: the family. Travelling with a toddler and an infant takes its toll, and frankly I haven’t got any free time to write down something. Now, the whole family except me is sleeping and I’ve got my first time alone during the trip. I just finished an excellent book by Stieg Larsson, and the moment just feels right to write notes.
Jul 5 Life, Money, Technology:
Wednesday seemed to be one of those normal hectic days at the office; emails were flowing and people were calling me at such a pace that I barely got myself out of the office to grab a sub for lunch.
Jun 26 Life, Travelling:
We spent Midsummer once again in my parents cottage in Polvijärvi, Northern Carelia. Midsummer, known as “juhannus” in Finnish, is one of the bigger festivities in Finland — almost everyone abandons the cities and go to rural areas to spend some quality time with friends and relatives in tranquility. Some people select being drunk, too. We stick firmly in the first category, and had excellent time off.
Jun 10 Life:
My glasses were surgically removed last week. I’ve been pondering on this for more than a year, after a couple of my friends (hello to Singapore!) had their eyes operated early 2007. Their positive experiences led me to think of the operation, but to be honest, I was quite afraid of it. Not the procedure itself, but loss of sight. As a web programming house owner, I need to see what people are producing.
