As it happens, the Finnish state subsidises all legal costs of the poor. Well, while the intention might be that the poor could defend themselves, the result is that the poor can frivolously sue others. This is just another example of state intervention causing an unintended consequence.

A rather significant website, eroakirkosta.fi, I and a few other people run turned 10 years old yesterday. In retrospect, one rarely sees how one’s actions have changed society. Some 380,000 Finns have resigned from the Finnish state churches by using eroakirkosta.fi during its first decade. It would appear that it is only a matter of time until the status of the Finnish state churches has degraded to the point that Finland turns into a secular state. Eroakirkosta.fi will have made itself unnecessary at that point.

SUSE Suomi had an event in Tampere on the 20th. There was plenty of interesting information on enterprisey solutions at the event. SUSE Manager was a particularly interesting topic. In case I ever manage a large number of SUSE or Red Hat servers, I’ll seriously want to use SUSE Manager. Dinner and a chat with SUSE Suomi technical staff was also much appreciated.
