We got back to Finland last night from our longish Helsinki->Amsterdam->Munich->Helsinki trip! Full load of excellent presentations, nice discussions with people and a strong feeling that things are proceeding into right direction! Blogging with real content later, now I just want to thank everyone for participating!

I was in Brisbane this week, meeting Tro..Nokia Qt / Qt Extended developers. Weather was kinda variable: Tuesday morning started as very nice and sunny, but before evening it was raining and thundering heavily... Not that there would have been time to enjoy fresh air anyway, we spent it pretty efficiently in office. Personal outcome of the trip was: Qt (Extended) 4.5 will rock! (Note: first technology preview was just released ) Future Qt versions will rock even more ;-) Special thanks goes to Aaron, for good discussions and for having similar UI thoughts as yours truly. Hopefully there is more time to spend next time!

...bit late here, but summing up visually what I really learned during the Maemo summit trip. Watch out, there are bears also in Berlin! Although they seemed a bit more friendly and colorful than the ones living in our forests. If (when) aliens attack, c-base is the place to go to locate suitable guns. GYR1 is reserved for me! There are actually beer (ok, "beer") that I can drink!! Shopping and eating should be handled in public side of Berlin airport, as opposite to Helsinki where most of the shops appear after checking in. Doing this prevents situations where all you eat whole day is bread-based... Thanks to everybody attending and especially the ones who helped to organize the event!

I'll be having my part of fun later this week as I'm also attending to Maemo Summit ! Together with Timo we'll arrive in Berlin on Thursday evening and leave on Saturday evening, so we should experience most of the scheduled sessions. By looking at the attendee list , there will be "long-time-no-see" -moments with many originals, but plenty of new faces have also appeared since my Ruoholahti-days. So waiting to meet you all!

The Wordle of this blog, thanks Carlos !

Ah, how can I have survived my life without a Hackergotchi ! When inspiration strikes, I might try more cartoonish version and learn to use Inkscape like here .

Aamos (just like his father) has always been into Gnomes , but for the past months he has started digging also Trolls. As a fee-minded father I have decided to let him play with them (Trolls don't bite, do they?), within certain boundaries. After all, you can't decide what/who you wanna hack with when you are older unless you try, right? Aamos is still too young to sit (babies should not be standing/sitting on their own until ~3 months old), so today he decided to test Qt in his N810 using QTablet . This allowed him to enjoy Colliding Mice while laying on his playing carpet. I'm quite positive that after this he will open terminal in N810 and use vi to create some cool experiments testing the limits of Qt 4.4 in N810!

Pros: Able to reveal for world what you're thinking & doing (like someone is reading...) Everybody does it Take a break from hectic work Cons: Might reveal something semi-confidential (so stay tuned! ;-) Everybody does it Your brake from work results to hectic increase.. Result: Bloggin is so 90's but so am I -> Here we go! [ * ]
