Just an Average Horny Little Devil
A tough guy, a helpless dancer. A romantic, is it me for a moment? A bloody lunatic, I'll even carry your bags. A beggar, a hypocrite, love reign over me. Schizophrenic? I'm Bleeding Quadrophenic. The Who: Quadrophenia
Named Ari Mäkelä though usually called Arska or even Hauva. Finnish male unix geek. Speaks Finnish and English, enough
Japanese in order to say Hajimemashite. Ari desu. Dōzo
yoroshiku." and has forgotten
almost all his Swedish and knows enough French and Portuguese to
get hit by a lady. Writes C, Java, Perl, Python and sh.
Besides
furfeet,
cooking, chess and sailing likes Good Company,
Islay
malt whiskies, unix and Winnie-the-Pooh.
I work mostly with Perl, sh, Linux and Apache but sometimes I tinker with Java, Solaris, Oracle and PostgreSQL. I'm very interested in open source and I have made some very small contributions to some commonly used software but by far my most important work has been the Finnish Linux HOWTO but it seems to me that time has passed Linux Documentation Project and at least Finnish Linux HOWTO. There are some things I'd like to update, though.
Amusingly my first name Ari stands for angry in Swedish (spelling is actually arg but the pronounciation is identical). In Japanese ari stands for ant. The kanji for ant is 蟻.
