Last friday got first time a sudden need to make a mask on my face. Did it and put my steampunk outfit on and headed to Helsinki night to write with my loyal companion Nokia Booklet 3G, the best writing laptop there is.

Went to a bar and started to write. A very good looking young lady started to chat with me. After a while she asked my age. I gave her an old passport I had found from a second hand shop. I introduced myself: "Karl Verner Garllson - late". The guy was born in 1894. The lady gave the passport to her friend. She thought she would blow my cover and started to ask questions about my info according to passport. I had just took that passport for first time with me and because I had thought it would be funny if someone would ask for a passport - I had memorized on a bus the information: date of birth, education, marriage etc. She was pissed of when she gave the passport back.

I went for a cigarret outside and as I usually do I asked from a random guy there his education and what is his job (at this time I had already forgot how I look). He challenged me to guess. A small winter cap, beard, collar set loosely around neck, long green army type jacket: software developer? Correct. He was a bit annoyed for me guessing right.

I pulled my N900 from a pocket and said I like linux. He said what a coincident. He works for big it-firm which they have brought to Finland and a finnish guy working for them have been leading developers for maemo. I advertized Leste and urged this guy to make his workmate to help with the closed source stuff. I said it is in no way a dead Os. Later thought that my outfit was maybe not in accord with my words. Hope he spreads the message though.
