The past is gone, the future isn’t here yet, so might as well explore what the present has to offer.

Welcome to the sequel of my so-called life. As a post-nomadic expat it’s often easy to forget there are still people somewhere out there who would like to know how you’re doing, what you’re thinking about and what new adventures life unfolds for you.

Title “Hello World” came with the software, but might as well use the metaphor. Like it is tradition when stumbling across new programming languages to explore the syntax, get all-systems-go by writing a simple program spitting out Hello World on an output device – this post is me looking at life curious to give it that initial test run… and then start building further.

Building what, telling which stories? Anything, really – random circumstances usually make life too unpredictable to be able to pre-define how to approach recounting the experience. It could be any or all of the below or perhaps something else altogether.

• Amsterdam – as that’s where I spend most of my days for the time being
• Being Finnish – as that’s where I spent most of my life so far
• Travels – as the roads might still seduce me, and I miss telling those stories
• Hospitality exchange – as that’s what got me uprooted in the first place and there’s some unfinished business left  as an itch to be scratched
• Hello Worlds in software, on platforms – as that’s what I do for a living (and for fun at times)
• Concepts of free software and p2p applied to life in general in a post-scarcity techno-utopian anarcho-geek tree-hugger world – as that’s what my chosen surroundings mostly seem to facilitate
• Just days in a life – as sometimes it’s good to just write it all out, anyway.

…expect nothing, be prepared for anything!
