You can count on that! Although for some funny reason Germany has today a normal working day (Really! It seems Germans are not celebrating Finland's independence
), for a Finn it's like St. Patrick's for the Irishmen or Fourth of July for you geeks on the wrong side of the pond 
My surfing comes to an end in couple of hours, then it's a night out with our small ex-pat community and after party at our home. I shaved myself the first time since August this morning, tuxedo was picked from dry cleaners on Saturday, bowtie and socks ironed, my neighbor is at this very moment in town with my shopping list, to stock my bar. The speech is written and rehearsed; I'm the oldest one in our small ex-pat group so it's my responsibility. Angie has promised to be a designated driver, both for the car and my wheelchair (walking all night still not possible).
5 times, totally something like 18 to 20 weeks, not counting a very chaotic and blurry period of three months in Goa late 70's, a young man "searching himself" with all the other hippies
Luckily I realized soon enough geeks don't make good hippies and ended the "mindblowing experiments"...

Thanks Carl. I am patriot, if it is allowed for me to say so eventhough I do not live in Finland, have in fact not lived there in 25 years.

]After watching that, i hope I don't end up in the "Doghouse", lol.
I'm sure she'll be happy with my "pressie". (i hope)
I7 960, Asus Rampage III extreme, with 6GB of 2000Mhz (expand to 12 when the other 6 come in), W7 Ultimate, 2 x OCZ vertex 2 E series 3.5" 120GB in raid 0, Asus 460GTX graphics card and 3 x 2Tb Hdd's for storage, Bluray burner and fdd in a Antex 902 case.
Since she is always in pain, i'm trying to make computing a bit more pleasant for her.
It's the least i can do for her as she got me a very nice Dyson vac to keep me occupied. (true story).
