After going to Slovenia for Metaldays festival, I decided to take a little break and be without alcohol for few weeks. At the same time I also reduced my carb intake below 100g in a day.

I’ve lost 4kg in 3.5 weeks and I’ve been much more productive than normally. I’ve probably had more GitHub activity during these few weeks than during the last few years altogether!

Autumn is the time when the nature is preparing itself for the winter.

The leaves are getting colourful until they finally drop. Days are getting shorter and colder. The end of summer often feels like the end of sunny days and happy times.

For me autumn has always represented something different. It’s a start of something. It’s often been the time when interesting things in life happen. Things that will define how your future will look like.

It’s been the coldest day since last spring. I’ve been wearing shorts for the whole summer, but today I was freezing. It was also raining heavily in the noon.

After the hot and dry summer, some rain is very much welcome, but I really like hot and dry weather more than cold and rainy.

The upcoming days should be a little bit warmer than today.

Originally I set up this site to be able to just post links to different kinds of music I like. I used WordPress.com instead of setting up my own local WordPress instance.

I haven’t been posting much lately, but I hope that by lowering the barrier for posting makes it easier. I don’t want to log in anywhere or use a complicated rich text editor. I’m a developer so I prefer writing Markdown.

“A light snow is falling on London…”

I moved to London and it is snowing.

Now I need to figure out if I want to keep this rather costly domain name. It doesn’t reflect the city I live in anymore.

I mostly listen to metal music, but I have a special place in my heart for jazz and groovy music. It’s perfect for lazy Sundays when the weather outside is too grey and you want to feel creative.

It’s getting colder and colder. This very long song always reminds me of winter. I fell in love with Moonsorrow in the beginning of 2007 when I was living in Tampere, 2 hours north of Helsinki. It’s probably one of the best places to live in Finland. Big enough to have everything you need, but small enough to have the atmosphere of a small town.

One week ago it was still almost 25ºC warm. A real Indian Summer! As the days are getting shorter and shorter, the weather becomes more rainy and foggy. It will be mostly like this until March, when the spring will finally win. Winter in Berlin is dark and grey.

There is music that sounds just awesome, regardless of the way you listen to it. Be it from a vinyl record, digital high resolution lossless file or good old C-cassette, we often give highest value to the song itself and the lyrics, not the media.

Sometimes when a man leaves the comfortable surroundings of his own kiez, he might notice that Berlin is actually a very big city.
