The question came up if you can put a gif animation on your desktop. Seems you can. Unfortunately.

What You See is What You Get

A local ISP sent me physical spam in the size and shape of an Asus Aspire One 3G; advertising the same. Cute, but not falling for it.

Cafe Korjaamo

Located a bit out of the beaten path in Töölö, but well worth it for tram fans like me. The location is an old tram service hall, and there are nice vintages standing around.

The espresso was decent, but nothing extraordinary. I'd guess Segafredo. Visited in early afternoon, so it was very quiet. A bit spookily so, in fact. No background music or other noise, and a big curtain along one wall was absorbing what little noise there was. The few other guests sort of got into a whispering conversation, and you could still hear them without effort.

Bad ecenomic times don't prevent dishing out free Gin and Tonics, it seems. Not that anyone was complaining, of course.

Our engineering dudes picking up the honourable mention for a Kone project. The office made the "winner" category too with a project for Metso. Not a bad year, even though we didn't get the Grand Prix like last time.

User Attention Span: Short

Barcode reader in supermarket for checking prices. Maybe it was a particularly difficult cleaning product I showed, but it took well over 10 seconds to get info. Boring.

Tram window poster celebrating 80 years of tram service to my old neighbourhood. If I remember correctly, I've boarded seven different tram models there and back along the nr. 6 line throughout the years, and eight in Helsinki all together.
