You have landed on the frontpage of ressukka.net, which happens to be my personal webspace. There isn't really that much to see here, but i'll be filling in the blanks eventually.
The content you are looking for is most likely either in my blog or under documents.

After my post yesterday about locales and my problems, I got some comments.
Bryan, Simon and Wouter all pointed out
what eventually figured out too but didn't mention in the post (I
actually had to re-read the post to see what I wrote) that
LC_ALL overrides all of the settings. Even though I
figured it out eventually, with these comments it finally me that
the purpose is actually to temporarily override the locale.
Another thing that didn't occur to me while figuring out the
correct locale for my system was that I'm thinking about it all
wrong. Since I've already gotten used to broken locales I kept
thinking that I want en_US locale with some Finnish
settings, but in reality I wanted fi_FI locale with
English language. I have to admit that I was pretty sceptical about
the solution but decided to try it out. And to my surprise, it
actually worked!
So the final solution is this: LANG="fi_FI.UTF-8"
LANGUAGE="en"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
It is a pretty clean solution and I'm happy to live with it. And as Simon pointed out, administrator changes should be preserved through upgrades. If not, one should file a bug for it.
There we go, another problem solved. Thanks for the comments and suggestions.
