This is me (in finnish) explained by some psychological test (also in english).
I'm not quite sure about all of the things explained there.
Especially the parts which say I cannot stay put for a second
and that I forget people. Anyhow it explains that basically I am:
extrovert, intuitive, feeling and perceiving.
Still it is just a test. You have to find out your self
if you really want to know me!;)

On 19.8.2006 I married my love Rita Kaksonen! That was no doubt one of the two best days in my life!
I also decided to take her lastname upon marriage. Now my name has funny
multiple meanings in it (in finnish only, sorry ;))...

Our first child Linne Kaksonen was born on 31.10.2007 and I cannot even
start to explain the ammount of joy involved!
We are both, Rita and Me, just overwhelmed with happiness!!

While I'm not with my wife and Linne I usually go to WORK

Here is my CV which explains my working history more deeply.
