« A mast and sails on a Finnish Tall Ship during a 90 minute tour
around Kruunuvuorenselkä on Helsinki Day. »
On Helsinki Day we got tickets for the Old
Tall Ships Tour on the Inga-Lill. The Brits
and the Dutch seem to titter at the Finnish tall ships since, of
course, theirs are larger and they both had navies of some repute, but
the Finns do like to remind them that without Finnish pine tar their
boats would have sunk in rather short order. The day was as wet as it
could be without it being a full monsoon which made it somewhat
difficult to take pictures, but it was still a treat to ride out into
open water under full sail without the help of an engine.
There is something terribly romantic about these wooden ships in an
age of the giant metal cruise ships which insulate you as much as
possible from the idea that you are on the water. The captain of the
ship did give a reasonably long talk about the history of the tall
ships in Finnish which I hope I have remembered correctly. The
Inga-Lill was built in 1947, after WWII, as a cargo ship to transport
goods around the Baltic and the archipelago. Most of the surviving
tall ships were built around this period since there were a lot of
idle shipwrights in the post-war slump and they needed work. When more
modern cargo ships were developed these boats were left behind but
have been restored to their original beauty in recent years thanks to
enthusiasts and charter cruises. The crew mentioned that the Traditional
Sailing Ships Association welcomes new members, which would be a
really interesting thing to do, but I'm not much of a sailor. There is
a very thorough tall
ships website which has a lot of history and details on boats from
many different countries and also the Maritime Museum of Finland which
covers the history of the tall ships in Finland.

Bad luck
Bad luck
06/29/2004 04:19 AMI seem to be plagued by bad luck now. I'm sitting on the Helsinki
Airport (the flights to Oulu have been cancelled due to a combination
of fog and broken landing system), waiting for the next available
flight. I also got a traffic ticket (from the
stolen car that was really moved -episode), which I intend to
complain about. I've also slept a total of seven hours during the
past two nights, which is making me feel like a drunken koala with a
techno fetish, hunkering over a laptop.
But it's funny how sometimes unexpected luck throws interesting and
wonderful people your way. So it is difficult to say that something
is really bad luck until you really know, and even then you don't
quite know until you know, you know? :)
Anyway, I'm off to have a free lunch, courtesy of SAS/Blue1.

No such luck
02/16/2004 07:43 AMFinally back, after spending about 40 hours in the same set of
clothes. Arriving on the airport, I grabbed my bag and walked on with
the enthusiasm of a zombie on Prozac, anxiously waiting for a ride
home, and a hot shower. However, customs picked me from the queue and
made me account for all the stuff that I had with me (in a rather
unfriendly manner, I might add, too). Unfortunately, on closer
inspection, it turned out that I had made a slight currency conversion
error and had gone a bit too overboard with my purchases, and had to
pay 35€ of taxes and fines. Oh well, it was still cheaper than
buying that stuff from Finland.
On a separate note, here's a cool
use of RSS: Pluck in your birthdate, and it will give you a feed,
which consists of all the stars that are within your theoretical
sphere of influence, i.e. your "light cone". Thanks to Matt for
doing this. It really warms the heart of an old astronomy geek :-).
HR857 is 33.9 light years away and only 5 days from the outer surface
of your light cone - your ever-growing sphere of potential causality.

Friday the 13th: Bad Luck
02/14/2004 02:26 AMToday was definitely Friday the 13th.
I don't post about the office on this weblog very often, but today
was just one of those days. I'm a sales manager at work, and today,
my "star performer" told me she had been offered a job at another
company.
That means she's leaving.
Ugh... can't tell you how hard that hit me.
You see, I've been trying to build a new business around online
advertising sales for my company for the past year and a half, and
I've spent a lot of time teaching, training, and learning. I've
really put a lot into getting my "star performer" to the level that
she's at right now. When I started at the office, this person was
pretty green. I had to mold her into the sales person I needed her to
be, and she took it well. Very well, and she's become successful.
This year, my company gave her an award for improving so much.
That made me feel very good about what I was doing and where we were
heading.
Then, today, she tells me she's leaving.
As her friend, I can't help but be happy for her, and excited about
her opportunities... but as her boss, I can't help but feel
overwhelmed and stressed about the pressure this will put on top of
all of the rest of the pressure I've put myself under trying to build
this new part of our business.
We'll get buy without this "star performer" but this sets up back a
few steps.
I'll post a note on Monday about the opening I need to fill, but,
if you know someone in Austin that wants to sell online advertising at
a local media company, please send me their resume.
