#Juhannus at midnight. Sun set about 45 mins ago. Happy #midsummer! Hauskaa Jussia!
I like pretending I don't understand Chinese with my younger students & watching them giggle & squirm as they try to muster up their limited English to tell me what they want to tell me.
Relaxing weekend at #SunshineCoast (stayed with colleague in Gibsons, this was taken at #RobertsCreek pier) after #OpenStackSummit 2018 in #Vancouver
Attended #OSCAL2018 in #Tirana #Albania last month - fascinating country, too short a trip, need to revisit sometime
Old and new flavours of #Taiwan (procured from #Plano in North #Dallas - some blocks with more Asian stores than the whole of Finland). Need to stock up more when I get back to Taiwan.

"Why the #Finns don't want to be #happy? - #Finnish people are content more than happy. It’s about #trust and #generosity, and #Finland ranks very high in those. It’s probably more accurate to say that the Finns are the least unhappy people in the world. They always do well at reducing the causes of unhappiness."
Amen.

GitLab "Ultimate" and "Gold" for self hosting now free for education and open source.
This is GitLab taking this massive opportunity after Microshaft swallowed GitHub and making the best of it.
The more people are moving over now, the better their own future will be in the long run.
GitLab also make migration easier, starting the #movingtogitlab campaign with a straight-forward video etc.
GitLab is open source itself, too.

I like how restaurants in #Memphis define vegetables: we ordered salad, its mostly covered with BBQ pork; we asked for turnip greens, it comes topped with bacon 😄

Let’s play a game, to help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren’t in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same.
Obligatory selfie test... Hmm, some focusing issues. #XperiaX #SailfishX
Some fun reading for summer cottage and upcoming flights. Haven't seen the series on #Netflix yet but heard good things about it. Anyone here have watched the series / read the book? #AlteredCarbon
It's like I almost have the beach and lake all to myself <3 #pyhäniemi #kankarijärvi #XperiaX #SailfishX

Wonder what I should try...
Red Hat is working on Linux support for the Dell Canvas work tablet.
The premium US open-source software company Red Hat (with a revenue now of $3 billion) to aid again.
Wacom-pen stylus’, a handy input dial etc. The dial can be placed on the screen to fine-tune application settings.
Dell / Red Hat developers now work together to add Linux support to the Linux kernel.
