I'm moving back to Finland tomorrow. It's probably going to take a week or so until things settle down and I'm again back to coding.
Hope that the change in residence wasn't due to the insanity of America or any of its residents. Your work is a greatly appreciated wonder. If this was a world where exceptional achievement and effort were recognized and rewarded, the world would be at your feet along with a river of riches and anything else you desired. Of course.......
Be of good cheer.

No, my visa was originally set to be max. 1 year so I have to go back. It was pretty fun and Rackspace is a great company, but Blacksburg is a bit too small town and I want to go elsewhere. (Now could be a good time to try to get me to come somewhere I've always wanted to go. :)

Where exactly would that be? I worked for years in New York City, and except for the occasional terror bombing, it was a great place to work. Everything I could want was there. Then again, coming from a small town I did sort of miss just lounging in a chair on my back lawn.

New York City and New Zealand would be interesting, but I don't know of any interesting companies in them. Especially ones that would be interested in paying for Dovecot development.

Perhaps you could apply for some sort of collegiate or government grant. You would be surprised at the crap (nothing personal) that they allocate grant money for.

Ninety percent of the politicians give the other ten percent a bad reputation.
Henry Kissinger. . . and all these years I thought I wanted too much when my desire was to move to Helsinki from greece :-)
Oh well !
A good trip to you Timo and welcome back to the old land :-)

And now I'm without internet at home, hopefully my mobile 3g connection opens in a few days.. And in any case I'll get cable modem by Saturday.
Now that you're back in your native land. ..... If and only if you're interested, I'D be interested in hearing what you thought of America: the things/customs that you thought were just plain wrong or stupid, the things/customs you liked, things that made you think, things that make you feel relieved to be "back home" I'm always curious about how others see my screwy country and its inhabitants...

Ditto,
Especially from a Finn :-) I've worked with scandinavians (Finns, Norwegians, Swedes) in the past. Swedes and Finns in particular are interesting people, the way they think and so on. Brilliant people too.. With quite an attitude towards life, work etc. Norwegians are party animals :-)
But Finns are quite straight-forward. They don't beat around the bush. They will express their opinion and that's what I like most. They will not try to beautify things. They will speak their mind. Check Linus for example :-)

No. And trying to call to their help desk says something about some union strike or whatever. So I guess that won't be happening anytime soon.

Except today I found out my sister actually had ADSL. I don't know why I thought she had cable.. So I wasted a whole week waiting for it. Anyway, bought cable internet today and have to wait until next week for it to actually work.. And they sold me a cable modem (that they said they haven't had for 2+ years) for double its price..
