About Me
This post contains very important information about myself and what I do in
life. It may or may not be of any interest to anyone but myself. You might
be thinking "How does this guy have the time to make all these pages?" or
"Don't you have a life?". Well, I practically live on the internet and
instead of wasting my off-work time doing something productive like watching
TV, I surf web pages and create web pages. I hope to someday develop
technology that will allow one to transfer their very essence into digital
form and forever float freely in the data streams of the internet, hence
gaining immortality.
I am happily married with 1 child, Daniel. I have a younger sister.
In case you didn't know, I changed my last name shortly before I got
married. It used to be Haapaneva. That is the family name that my
grandfather in Finland picked during the war as they had to change their
last name for some odd reason. My great-grandfathers last name was
Vidberg. I have always had problems with people not being able to spell or
pronounce Haapaneva, so I thought a good time to change it would be when
my wife-to-be would change hers also (to mine). So, no, I am not in a
witness protection program or anything. I just changed my name because I
wanted to. Hopefully, google will pick up this page and anyone searching for
me will be able to find me (unless you are some crazy stalker then forget
what you just read and go away).
I am probably currently working as a web developer and/or Linux system
administrator, programming the back-ends to web sites and making sure
servers keep running smoothly. I've had jobs as a independent consultant,
web application developer, a system administrator, a computer technician,
etc... I am kind of a computer handy man I guess.
My hobbies, well, let's see, the computer/internet thing is obvious if you have read this
far. Other things I enjoy (in no particular order) are day-tripping,
exploring, trying foods from different cultures, hanging out with my wife
and son, reading, listening to heavy music, watching movies, playing video games,
and burning things (well, mostly my mouth with hot sauces). I've done some
geocaching, a great family activity for the summer weekends.
