About Me
Hi All, I'm Ari Pikivirta and keep this page up and running because I have done some programming in the past (which I probably never will get finished). Started playing with these on back in middle of 2004 when I first had all Home Series freeware products put together in one nice package - Separated later. Web pages were running from that day on at my home (as they still are). Now while I've been writing applications for quite long now, there is now also lots of other utility and other applications available free to use on this page.

I live with my wife and three kids on a nice area on southern part of Finland, in a village named Tervakoski. Really nice village compared to most, and definetely nice place to grow the kids. This is not only my opinion, everybody will say more or less the same.

If trying to describe myself more, hmm.. It's difficult. People that do know me better will ofcourse disagree with all here, but that's also normal, i think. Here's my best shot for that:

Really, if there is possibility of human to understand other human, I might not be the one. If speaking of machines, things that are possible to program with c, pascal, assembler or any enough low level language - I'll get along. As a hobby, beside the kids and programming, there is running. In somewhere future, I'll try to finish any of the ultra long races of 100km. Until that, I'll just go with shorter ones (marathons) and try to finish shorter ultra(s) of 50km with some (read any) result.

To contact me, write email usign the address on the footer (or just click on that). If you're using one/some of the products that I'm offering on these pages, you might want to send post card to address below (don't forget to add your email so that I can thank you):
