So well said!

Why are there not more ‘Nelson Mandelas’ though? It would be so good for the world if he wasn’t so rare . . . . . .

Nelson Mandela, is truely a symbol of several generations of fighters for justice, freedom and equal rights for all; he is an example for all, with his peacefull acts, after going out of prison.
My simple recognition and great appreciation of his caracter, goes directly to send to him my wishes of a best day, with joy, health, family and friends.
Happy birthday Mr Nelson Mandela!!!

It must be a bandwidth problem, Kenys, because I was able to access her blog just a minute ago.

I wish you success in blogging. I hope you keep finding inspiration.

Her story encourages me to continue blogging. I hve started a blog to really highlight the accomplishments of african americans in Missouri, but I really feel that my voice needs to be heard more. She has inspired me. Sadly, I am not able to get to her blog today because they either took it down or the bandwidth has overwhelmed their servers.
But thanks for telling her story here.

It seems like you took this like a man. But you have completely dissappeared from the radar after Spain’s famous victory…?

Comment on Technorati does not work by Amy Sterling Casil

Larko, Technorati does totally suck. It doesn’t find all types of stuff and favors google bombers. You’re right, just hang in there. Sorry about that terrorist stuff. Hopefully you may have rights again soon.

No, there is a smoking cabin in the court house and the judge allowed two breaks, one of them for lunch so I did not have to smoke in his court room.

You broke the smoking ban, didn’t you?

Comment on A long football night by Larko

As to point 1: Mac is fine per se but far out of my reach for at least a while. And I like the open source idea. 8.04 is very likely to make most of my devices work from the box. I am planning to write a more substantial account of what happened and why but I must first issue the problem at hand (and watch some football).

As to point 2: I just woke up before the game. I only have beer for breakfast if I am hung over (or still drunk).

Point 1: Get a Mac.
Point 2: Why coffee?

Comment on A collapsing World record by Larko

Larko — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 08:21:24 +0000

I made my pledge to participate in this fuzz before loosing access to my laptop and also before my desktop crashed. Now I am ironically unable to install the downloaded goodie because some packages in my interrime Ubuntu 6.06 are outdated. This is eventually going to be sorted out as I make a clean install direct to Ubuntu 8.04 but in the mean time I installed Opera 9.5 which is clearly better than Opera used to be when I used it as a first choice browser a couple of years ago. I’ll probably use Opera 9.5 and Firefox 3 in parallel once my desktop is stable to find out which one I like more.

I’ll get back to your other question (mailed in private) in a few hours. Got to go off line.

I had no problems accessing and downloading, but I might be a bit late to the table.
But what is the big deal with Firefox 3? Browsers are really not my strong field, although of course Explorer is off limits

Comment on Who the hell is Larko? by Larko

We do have, however, some distant relatives in US, at least in Washington state and possibly in mid west. They would have another family name, though. Their ancestors moved to America for about 100 years ago and as far as I know, the closest family tie was that one of them was a cousin (or second cousin) of my late grandmother. She died for 46 years ago so I can unfortunately not ask her. I still have an elderly aunt who would be likely to remember something if I get the chance to talk to her.

Sure, My father was Yrjö and he was never in America, not even visiting.

May I ask what your father’s first name was? Do you know if he ever lived in Rhode Island?

Not very likely, I am afraid. Larko is a nickname that my late father used to have as a short form of our family name Larkovirta. I used to be Larko junior but I dropped the junior as my father died.
