Today came out a new issue of Aviisi, a local student newspaper. In this episode is my first photo report ever published in newspaper, well actually first photo report I have ever made.
Photo report was made about a local student event, Kaupunkisuunnistus, where freshmans (and sometimes some older students also) travels through the city from one control point to another, making some tasks in every control point.
It was really funny to watch and I also got some quite nice photos.
Shortened version of report with one photo is online in here.

Yesterday my website got a little upgrade, I was after a long wait transferred to Dreamhost PS, which is a dedicated virtual server just for me.
My site has not been under heavy traffic but still my gallery has been feeling slow sometimes. Not anymore, at least it seems to be faster.
Of course as downside I have to pay a little more for this server now, but at this time I really think that it is worth.
One of the nicest thing in Dreamhost PS is ability to change allocated resources in real-time. If I think or see that I need more memory to my server, I just login to panel and assign more and after a while it has been updated to my server. For example I tried to install and run GlassFish application server and it needed a lot more memory than I was originally allocated (and paying for). But with Dreamhost this was no problem, I just increased memory in control panel, waited for change to become active and then installed GlassFish and tested it. After testing I just went back to original memory setting and I only paid for few hours for more resources. This is exactly how things should work. Just pay for what you are using, not about what you might sometimes need to use.

Today I managed to be in the right time at the right moment. I had some lectures near TAYS (Tampere university hospital) and when I was just leaving to the home I heard a helicopter. This was the first time I saw a helicopter lading on the roof and I guess that this was a patient transfer.

I have to admit, autumn is here. Last week I was photographing a job (more about this a little later) and I also saw some maple leafs already in autumn colors and falling from trees.
For me autumn is always a little surprise, you never know when summer changes to autumn. First it is sunny and warm in days but in no time you suddenly realize that sun shines less and less and it is cold in the morning.

About a week ago my registration was accepted. From now on I run my own business. After a long thinking I just decided to name company to Mikian Photography. Yes, I know that it a little bit boring and does not describe my IT possibilities but I didn’t came up anything better.
Anyway, my business is now running and active. Now all tha is left is actually sell some photos
