Since I'm a poor graduate student, I've added a basic CV, which is accessible either by that link, or if you're not reading this in an RSS feeder, to the upper right in the navigation bar. More detailed information is of course available at request.

Also, there were some outstanding things that needed doing with this blog, such as adding pagination, trackbacks, switching over to Mercurial/Hg instead of SVN (Hg seems to just have a better workflow for me). I disabled some entertaining, yet out of date things that I hadn't had time to do the upkeep on, or indeed finish up the starting content (moving country takes work!). Maybe I'll get back to that soon, and reenable it. Blogging about random Finnish words in detail is fun, anyway. :)

Of course, I always wonder why I don't just run some WordPress instance, or just direct my domain at a Blogger account, but it's always more fun to program things on your own when you've got the time, and you always learn a few new and useful things. On the to do list for the break from school is to try out nginx. I've heard it's great for high load things, so I'm curious to do some load-testing with some projects I've been working on that are more computationally intensive. More on one of those later... :)
