Bio: Started modding computer related hardware back in 2001. At the same time I started a website dedicated for modding. First everything was done in finnish but after I published the glowing mousepad article I translated all the old material to english and continued to run the site bi-lingual.
My "day job" is with an engineering firm. There I function as an IT management chief and project manager. We do anything automation, machinevision etc. related projects.
