The decision is final.
The whole job-changing thing is now official. I have resigned / given my month's notice at my current job, and I'll be starting at Aller Julkaisut on the 7th of December. I'm going to be working on the techinical side of Aller's sites, in a far more central position than at my current job. I believe good things will come of this.
The DIY Renovating craze is on
We spent the weekend at the new place renovating like crazy. Big thanks go out to all of our friends who came over to help out! Primarily we removed decades and/or several layers of wallpaper in preparation for painting the walls. We prefer paint over wallpaper, each on his own I guess. I'll (try to) update on our progress as things move along.
Winter cycling preparations
I've now swapped to studded winter tyres on my bike. I chose Nokian tyres, more specifically the Hakkapeliitta W240s. The rolling resistance is huge compared to my summer tyres, the Rollspeed TSs. Grip on sand, on the other hand, is a great deal better. Now I'm just waiting for some show to fall!
Interested in winter cycling? The ICEBIKE web site is a great place to start.
