Thanks for sharing and kudos for using plaintext format 🤌
As local all I can think about the smell is that it probably originated from Meira factory. It’s large spice and coffee roaster not too far from Kallio area.
You don’t wanna go near it when you’re thirst for coffee and they’re roasting new batch. Or maybe you do? 😄
Nice one! I can't say I've noticed the smell in Helsinki, but maybe I'm just too used to it.
I really enjoyed the format, although at first I thought it was written 20 years ago. Nevertheless, I'll take good content over appearances any day!
Thanks!
The whitespace structure was inspired by programming, where
with extremely few exceptions, there is always one statement per line.
It makes the code way easier to read and edit.
It had occurred to me that
the only reason we don't do the same thing in English is because it wastes paper.
But I'm like "What paper?".
Editing is much easier, since
the major plaintext editors,
being designed for programming,
have very good support for linewise editing.
It is extremely awesome for nuking and reordering sentences.
Sentence structure of long sentences can also be made more clear
with some tactical line breaks and indentation.
Ouluers are welcome to PM me if they want to hang out.
If you are enjoying sauna culture you should stop by Tampere: Rauhaneimi sauna is always welcoming and you can grill your own sausages on their grill while you cool off between rounds. There is also a beautiful Moomin museum and the doughnuts from the cafe in the old meteorological tower (Pyynikkintori) are not to be missed if you are in town.
