About

This is the weblog of Meike Reichle aka alphascorpii. This blog mainly deals with my Debian activities, university life and general "life these days" musings.

The blog's name originates from the song "Rusty Cage". Take your pick between the Soundgarden and the Johnny Cash version. I like them both.

Back home from DC6

So, I am back home. After a 24 hour journey we arrived at Tolimar's place Sunday night, after a journey that sadly was not as nice as the one to .mx. First we departed about 1/2hr late from Oaxtepec since the backpack of a fellow traveler was ridden over by a car. Than our taxi driver charged us 900MXN for the trip to the airport, although we had agreed on 800 before we left.
Once in the airplane our machine had an engine problem and could not take off. We waited for about 2.5hrs while the inside of the plane steadily got hotter and hotter. Due to this we also missed our connecting flight at Heathrow and were rebooked on a later flight. Probably due to this Tolimar's luggage didn't make it on the same flight and had to be delivered to his house on the next day. Once we had finally reached Frankfurt we went to bed and slept for 16hrs straight. Got back up at about 5pm today, took the train to Hildesheim and am now finally home!

No DebConf6 conclusions yet. I am in full EndOfEvent/jet lag mode and feel deader than the frozen chicken (Chicken! Of all things!) I just dug out the icebox of my otherwise totally cleared out fridge. At the moment the predominant feeling is a mixture of "Wow, that was a trip!", profound tiredness and regret about all the things I had planned to do but found no time then.

PS: Bubulle, flattery won't help you. I'll get you for this!

PPS: Time to write postcards. ;)

PPPS: I'm freezing!!
