Good luck on your SHOK conference in April. I'll be awaiting further posts to follow the progress. Hopefully, positive momentum will be on your side and something good will happen rather than the usual rhetoric that often dominates such events.
Off topic: I think I saw you in the comments of a "Food is the best medicine'" diary where you were looking for kombu and nori? Tokyokan on Annankatu 20 downtown has all that good stuff. Ruohonjuuri at Kamppi also has a good selection of seaweed stuff.
And finally, rest assured that the hacker of whom I spoke previously definitely is one who relishes in his ability to expose sloppy thinking, loose security, and ever-present bullshit.
The 'usual rhetoric' will surely be amply supplied. I gave a little lecture on technocratese today. But then I've been working for years with these high level engineers (who I'd rather have running things than any lawyers). You just have to argue points with them rather differently than with the lawyers. And then argue them again. With diagrams.
My regards to your hacker. You can't be me, I'm taken
As for you being 'just a maalaispoika,' hey, that's a good thing. Minä olen juuri maalaisnainen nyt myos. But I thought you said your 'hood was Kallio? And isn't that near Crazy Curve, on the #6 line, near downtown?
