Speechless. · Tuesday May 29, 2007
I’ve been quiet for a while, again. I thought I had lots to say when I started blogging, but it seems harder and harder as time goes by. What could be the reason?
I guess one reason is that I use to be a guy that never opened his mouth unless he had to. Well, that has changed – nowadays I just can’t keep my mouth shut when I’m with familiar people. But still I’m very quiet when I’m around people I don’t know well – or at all. I’m sometimes the kind of guy that says the things that need to be said and nothing more. Well, I guess many Finns are like that…
Maybe this (blogging) is so hard because I don’t really know you, my readers. (If there is any, heh.) It’s hard to tell who ends up reading my writings, so I can’t really relate to my audience. Do you know what I am trying to say?
One solution might be to blog just for myself, but that would seem a little bit idiotic. Why would I keep my blog online if I would be doing it only for myself? I could just write an old-fashioned diary and hide it in my drawer or somewhere else, safe from the wicked world. But no, that’s not the case here.
So what is blogging about then and why do I blog? I guess it is because we all want to belong to some sort of a community and have similar-minded people around us. Although I’m sometimes a hermit, I’m still a human and I have my need to communicate with others of same kind.
So I guess I shall continue my journey as an rather untalkative blogger. Are there any others of same kind? Anyone? No? Oh.

You know what it's like when you can't wait for something... · Thursday March 1, 2007
The next Test Release (or final version) of PCLinuxOS 2007 will be released soon. It will be the main operating system I’m going to use on my home computer. So… why can’t it be here yet?!?
If you’re curious and want to know what I’m waiting for so eagerly, check out some screenshots or visit the forum or check out the Distrowatch PCLinuxOS page
I know you might like it too! :)

Windows XP Service Pack 3 - will we ever see it? · Tuesday February 6, 2007
Microsoft has done it again. You can easily see that they only care about themselves. According to Internetnews.com – Windows XP Service Pack 3 Pushed Back to 2008 Microsoft has pushed the release of Windows XP Service Pack 3 back to 2008. That’s just unbelievably disrespectful towards all XP users (and boy, aren’t there a few).
It’s easy to see why. They want to force people to upgrade to Vista as soon as possible. I just hope that not every company/person in the world is that easily fooled to update their systems. If I would have a chance to switch to something else, I would.
Not that this would mean a lot to me as a private person, but it does affect my work as a IT-designer lot. But then again, this might be a good opportunity to look away from M$ world and look for something else… wait, did I just see a penguin behind that corner?! Have to go check it out… ;)

Are there too many Linux distros? · Saturday January 27, 2007
I was just in sauna (where all the best ideas usually get birth) and started thinking about the quantity of Linux distros. Is it good for Linux that there are so many distributions or is it turning against Linux?
I found out that I wasn’t the only one wondering about this: Open Source Strategies: Are There Too Many Linux Distros. (Even though that blog entry dates back to December 2005, but the question is still current IMO.) I agree with Si Chen on most of what he (or she?) writes, but I want to take another look on this.
Let’s imagine a scenario where someone tries Linux for the first time and selects a random distro for that experimentation. Let’s assume that the distro he/she selected didn’t meet the needs or didn’t function properly for some reason and that person gets disappointed and never wants to try Linux again. OK, one might not get frustrated and try again with another distro, but usually people don’t have much time to experiment and expect things to work out-of-the-box. So in this case Linux might have lost a possible user.
My point is that Linux isn’t yet as easy to pick up as it probably should be to gain more ground. I assume that a regular computer user doesn’t want to do much configuring to get the operating system rolling. With Linux you have to do some distro research before you can trust that it will work on your computer and meet your needs. But again, is that a good or a bad thing? You tell me.
I’m just thinking about the average computer user here. Myself, I usually take the time to discover different distros and try them out just for fun. But there are people out there, who just want their computer to work and don’t want to tweak every little thing. Is Linux today suitable for them, what do you think?
