Hello,
I just thought I would tell you that I'm going to be away within 2 weeks. I am going to the Finnish army for about 9 months and I have no idea when I am going to have free weekends or if I can access the Internet in the military camp, so, if someone wonders whether I'm dead, the answer is no.
I'll take my EEE PC with me and I cross my fingers and hope there is a WiFi.
Cheers comrades.

If I recall correctly, there was another member on here (Oren?) who joined the Israeli army a few years back...haven't seen him since.
Best of luck to ya, army is a good choice for young men, I wish I had persued a military career, as a fighter pilot, back when I had the chance. Instead I blew it and now, I write software.

If you're lucky enough to join the infantry I'm sure you will find your programmer's sense of procedure and order will stand you in excellent stead!

Best luck, Kai. We'll miss your helpful presence. Hope you can get connected once in awhile and let us know how it is going.

You're not only going to secure the internet's webapps, but now Finland as well? Your ambitions have no limitations
Anyways, we'll miss you here. But hopefully you'll have WIFI and free time to check by anyway

What you heard and what was presented to you was the demo, believe me the reality is much uglier/harder etc

Crap Kai. Who's gonna fix all these security holes?
Good luck with the military. I hear if you knife the first guy you see they'll leave you alone. Oh, wait was that for prison...I don't remember.

Good luck, Kai.
You'll probably come back and know how to hack into all our computers. I'll turn on my PC and my screen background will have a LOLCat saying, "I can has ur computerz"
