Hello, and welcome
My name is Veeti Paananen. I live in Finland, and I write desktop and web applications using technologies such as Qt and Ruby on Rails. This is my personal website and blog. Close this...
It’s that time of the year when I get the feeling that I have to create a completely new template for my neglected personal website slash blog. So behold, here it is! I’ve also taken the liberty of rewriting some pages for maximum user enjoyment.
Oh, and Ruby IRC Statistics Generator has its own website now – check it out!
Maybe I can actually try to post more often from now on…
DealExtreme is a webstore that provides insanely cheap junk from China. With free shipping!
In general, DX is a nice shop – I’ve made 5 orders so far, and received 3. The two I haven’t have been shipped in the past week (at the time of writing).
The items I’ve ordered have worked, and some were actually of surprising quality (especially when compared to the prices). These headphones worth 3 and a half dollars were pretty poor though.
Other stuff I’ve wasted money on bought: DS flash cart, laser pointer that feels much more expensive than it is, wall plug for USB chargers…
DX sometimes seems to take a very long time to get your stuff from their “supplier”, though – but I still highly recommend them. Reading product reviews can be very useful.
By the way, this post is full of referral links!
