Tuomas (the author) of “Wishmaster” by Nightwish? song

This is my personal tribute to fantasy, especially the closest to me; Tolkien & Dragonlance. These worlds have become a sort of inverted reality for me, where the story of “The Kinslayer”* can’t become reality… Moreover, I don’t believe in this thing called “destiny”. We are the masters of our own wishes, beliefs and dreams. Whatever you desire enough, it can happen. Destiny is an excuse for those who don’t have the strength to fulfil their wishes. Everything is possible. Even the impossible.

About Premature optimization

“Programmers waste enormous amounts of time thinking about, or worrying about, the speed of noncritical parts of their programs, and these attempts at efficiency actually have a strong negative impact when debugging and maintenance are considered. We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3%.”

— Donald Knuth
