It is a beanie, with ear flaps and that funky ball of yarn on the top.

Ah… Nope, I don't own such a hat either.

Created a pretty solid "Running successful software projects" slide set to be presented this evening. It has a lot of things that are currently lacking in the project(s) I work on. Let's see if the presentation will bring any changes.

Are you referring to the Fastelavn comic? We do celebrate something similar but with very different traditions (actually they are somewhat similar to what they have in Swedish for this fest). So, no, I don’t have a hat with ears. ?

I got it as a Yule present in 2016. So 2 years. It showed some wear and tear quite early already, but now it finally broke.

Ordered a new, nice looking band for my Fitbit1 from Amazon. It cost me €12, postage included. There were no brick and mortar stores in Finland that would have bands in their selection and all the Finnish online stores had only not-so-nice options starting at €25.


  1. The one it has now is breaking apart. I am not happy about that. At all.

Seriously? Geesh…

Speaking of Icelandish and Danish: https://www.youtube.com/watch

Written Danish is somewhat understandable (it's basically just Norwegian with some funky spelling here and there), but spoken Danish… That's just a nightmare.

Aye. The best thing was that I actually understood what they were talking about without much extra effort. I found that quite amusing. But then again, I like Nordic languages. I wish I would be able to speak and write Swedish more often.
