cimoreneTrying to get information from a website that has anything to do with the Finnish government is like trying to squeeze lemon juice from a rock. With one hand. While holding the other hand in a tub of boiling oil. And breathing inside a plastic bag. And standing barefoot in dogshit. And listening to pop country music really, really loud.
Also, it's dawn, and after hours and, like, all day at the computer, I still don't know if one of the programs I was looking for (I spent at least three hours just trying to find out what the name of it was, and then kept thinking I was Wrong because pages of results would come up referring only to Sweden, even if I put 'Finland' in the search terms) even exists in this city. I found out that another does (restoration! Which is for furniture and houses and sounds like the COOLEST THING to me!), but I don't think it counts because it wasn't what I started trying to find out in the first place. Also, I've managed to confirm with 100% certainty that the information I want doesn't exist on the internet. Apparently you have to walk there in person and ask for it on paper. (In 2003, the same was true of the University of Turku, which is pretty big. You'd think the most cell phone-saturated country in the world would be a little more networked.)
