Back in Finland

Over the weekend I flew back to Finland through Seattle, Copenhagen and Stockholm. Seattle because I wanted to test the new service by SAS – SAS Net Access. This service is Connexion by Boeing and provides WiFi in a airplane. It was already installed in this airplane but unfortunately was not working on this time. So I had to just concentrate on my DVDs and getting some sleep.

By the way … I tried something new … I listened music, which is basically just dolphin sounds with some background soft music. Very relaxing and very soon I fell a sleep.

Surprisingly my flights went very well and this time I didn’t have any troubles. Maybe my bad luck was sleeping as usually I have lots of trouble regarding flying. Usually some odd delays and such.

In Finland it was once again rather cold and surprised me completely. Now I just have to figure where to travel next. :)

San Francisco

I am currently visiting the Bay area and attending the RSA Conference 2005. Naturally, because we are talking about me and my typical luck, it has been raining now most of the time I have been in here.

I managed to find some extra time to do some shopping and started with new golf clubs and Apple PowerBook G4. :)

After testing my golf clubs in the range, it has rained pretty much without a break …

Conference has been interesting yet there is still some sessions, which have basicly the same message and content with some of the sessions last year. Maybe the conference committee should refresh some of the ideas related to sessions and content. Or are we Europeans just so much ahead with wireless that all of this wireless and security sounds so familiar to us?

Going to fly back to Europe through Seattle and I am currently hoping for WiFi enabled plane. Also same kind overbooking could happen also on return as when I flew over here (after all received an upgrade to business).
