I finished listening High Voltage SID Collection 50 a few days ago. If I remember right, this song was one of the last songs I had on my playlist. I only wish I had found it earlier.

In related news, sidplay1 (sidplay-base) and sidplay2 (sidplay) can now be found in Maemo Diablo extras devel. Naturally my repository contains both. Get your copy of sidplay1 for Diablo or Chinook, and sidplay2 for Diablo or Chinook.

There it is. Fully served, or "täysin palvellut". On 22 September 2008 I begun my non-military service and took a bus to Lapinjärvi training centre. Today, 18 September 2009, 362 after that bus ride, I'm on duty for the very last day.

In a way I'm very glad it's over -- after all, this thing prevented me from travelling freely -- but part of me will miss this. It was absolutely great to work here at Department of Computer Science, University of Helsinki. Thanks everyone!

While I also enjoyed working at Movial, I think my work here was much more important. Even though Movial also granted me freedom to choose how (and to a degree when) I worked, here at university I could truly choose my own pace. One day I would work for twelve hours straight, the other for three hours. Sometimes I would work in the middle of the night back home, only because I felt like that was the right time to do it -- and because I could. I can't help it, but my mind simply doesn't work from nine to five. It works when it chooses to work. I only wish I would have had time to finish what I had started, but like any other GNU/Linux distribution, a finished distribution is a dead distribution.

On Monday I will return back to my "normal" life and start working at Movial again. It is still unclear what exactly I get to do there, but that's probably not exactly public information anyway.
