“No-one has ever called me a cool dude. I'm somewhere between geek and normal.” — Linus Torvalds

I see myself as a technical person who chose a great project and a great way of doing that project.

Helsinki may not be as cold as you make it out to be, but California is still a lot nicer. I don't remember the last time I couldn't walk around in shorts all day.

The fame and reputation part came later, and never was much of a motivator, although it did enable me to work without feeling guilty about neglecting my studies.

I don't expect to go hungry if I decide to leave the University. Resume: Linux looks pretty good in many places.
