About me

I'm Mikko Uuksulainen, hacker ja software developer from Jyväskylä, Finland.

The Jargon File defines a hacker as follows

A person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and how to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to learn only the minimum necessary.

This sums up who I am. Ever since I was a little boy, I have been interested in computers, and they have been present in my daily life in one way or another my entire life. I have never been satisfied with just being a user; I have always wanted to know how things work and try them out for myself. My appetite grows as I eat, and my desire to learn new things is bottomless.

Programming in its various forms is my main interest, but other things that are important to me include writing, nostalgia and retro culture, Linux, privacy, electronics, gaming and AI. My family and nature are closest to my heart.
