Personal background
Aloha! I'm a 27 years young web developer from Finland. Currently I'm running my own small company, so be nice. I could be your boss someday ;)

As you sure could figure out, I'm pretty passionate about programming. I love to make things go tick and tock on my development servers. There are few feelings that can overcome the moment when a new product/project is finished.

One of those feelings that do overcome this is my family. My wife & I have 2 beutifull girls aged of 1 and 3 Allthough they look like angels when a sleep, in real life they are (our) little demons. We've even given them appropiate nicknames: misery and panic. As you guessed, most of our time goes into kids. If there's any spare time (changes of 1: 15 000 000) we just lay down to coach and have some nice time.

BTW. As you guessed, the kid in the pic is not me. It's my little misery having a good day ;)

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I've always been a scifi-freak, so I do believe we are not the only rational beings in the universe. I remember that one of the first scifi-books I read were Tripods-saga (by John Christopher) and Black Cloud (by fabulous Fred Hoyle). Especially the latter hit me hard with the questions like what if we aro not alone and what if they are not something what we expect them to look like. Gone were the days of green aliens from Mars ;)

When I first joined Seti@home, I went from polytechnic to my very first real daily job.One of my workmates had Seti running in his desktop and it caught my eye instantly. It look like it was taken from star trek: great looks combined to something really...err..scifi. That's when the boyhood dreams came back to life.

However, currently I'm not sure if anybody would like to contact mankind or if the man should try to contact other lifeforms. Afterall, what can we offer ? Wars, hunger, fear, toxicated world...If I was an intelligant alien, I would make a steep u-turn before reaching the 3rd rock from the sun ;)
