![[Item Permalink]](http://radio.weblogs.com/0112083/images/ur_bullet.gif){kind=small} Open source (GPL) version of Elmer -- Comment()
Now available - open source version 4.0 of Elmer: "Elmer is an open-source computational tool for multi-physics problems. It has been developed in collaboration with Finnish universities, research laboratories and industry." Last year I wrote a few words about Elmer. Thanks to the hard work of the Elmer team, the open source version is now ready. Enjoy! (Edit: Corrected the version number above.)

Pen pals and how the world became a village -- Comment()
My column on correspondence by mail vs. by e-mail/irc/chat appeared last week (in Finnish, Kun netti kirjeenvaihtoystävät syrjäytti). I used to have pen-pals when I was young, nowadays the whole world seems to be a village, there is nothing strange in writing to friends in other countries.
