8 hours ago, I was almost 500 km north of Helsinki, in Jakobstad spending Christmas with my parents. In about 12 hours I’ll be about 80 km east of Helsinki, in Pernå celebrating my girlfriend’s mom’s 50th birthday. In about 32 hours I’m on a plane to Milan with her, about to spend New Year’s Eve in Bologna with my sisters. In about 2 weeks we’re on a plane to Gran Canaria for the IUI 2008 conference. I’m about to live in a suitcase for almost a month.

Actually I’ve been on my way to bed for several hours already, but I just couldn’t let it be.
When working inside screen over ssh in the Mac OS X Terminal application, it for some reason always hangs after the computer has slept. There’s seems to be no way to resurrect it, other than closing the Terminal and opening a new one, letting the old ssh connection die in loneliness.
However, this problem is avoided by either not using screen (magically, a “normal” ssh connection doesn’t hang the Terminal), or by using autossh to automatically restart a lost connection. I decided to try out the latter option.

Third time lucky? This time I chose a theme very much like the old one, but much more advanced and more stylish IMO. I didn’t like the page menu in the old theme, so I’ve been on the lookout for another theme from time to time. Maybe I’ll stick to this one.
My own random images might appear in the header at some point. Let’s see.
EDIT 21:55: added the header images.
