English Majors

[Heikki Raudaskoski]

I've got a "Licenciate of Philosophy" degree in "Literature". It
is an intermediary degree between MA and PhD in Finland. Wrote my
Phil.Lic. thesis (1993) on Lot 49.

>From Oct '00 until Jun '12, I worked as a Technical Communicator
in a local IT company. Wrote mostly stuff for R&D. Now unemployed.

My initiation to TRP took place in 1984. I worked as a stevedore
in the port of Helsinki, and found V. in a downtown library. 1st
edition... I managed to read the first two chapters. Then the
Helsinki port got so hectic that I was able to work two shifts a
day for some time, and had to put V. on ice. A couple of years
later I read all of Lot 49.
