Tangle Tutorial<br />
Karoliina started programming when she was young, with old 8-bit<br />
computers. Because she didn't have any programs or games for it, she<br />
had to do them by herself. So she started learning Basic. <strong>The</strong>n came<br />
Amiga 500, then Amiga 1200. In the meantime she started learning C.<br />
She then bought a PC, started studying software engineering, and went<br />
to work for Nokia, where she has been for nine years.<br />
Around 2001, she became a Linux user and started coding software for<br />
Linux at work. She is maintaining some open source Maemo packages.,<br />
and she has some hobby projects that are related to GTK+/Gnome/Maemo.<br />
Besides software, Karoliina has her pilot's license and enjoys flying. She is also building a<br />
composite airplane from scratch. She composes electronic music that sounds a bit like the old<br />
music of Jean-Michel Jarre. <strong>The</strong> music is licensed under a Creative Commons license with few<br />
restrictions.<br />
She currently lives in southern Finland, Espoo, with Kate, three cats, and a dog. She drives a<br />
hybrid car.<br />
