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.

The Times They Are A-Changin'

I've recently gotten into a kind of contemplative mood. Firstly, my studies are comming to an end and I'll have to figure out what to do next. Well, I know what I want to do. I want to to my PhD! Question is: Where? I have one offer, but I am not 100% convinced by it.

These musings however quickly lead to more general pondering. Especially when mixed with a (temporal) change of environment and lots of new impressions (both of which were sufficiently provided at Linuxtag). I actually only went to Linuxtag for fun and to find out, whether the Debian Project really is for me.
Result: IT IS!

However, these four days also were the best time I've had in quite a (looong) while, which leads to the
question, why this happens so seldom ... which further on leads to doubts, which lead to reconsiderations,
which lead to descisions.

Want to know them? Well, so do I!
I've only arrived at the "reconsiderations" part yet.

There however are some things I am already quite sure of: Linuxtag gave me that last "push" to decide that I will make Debian a part of my life. (This sounds weird, but - Hey! - my brain works that way.) I actually have a few nice package ideas already, which I'm planning to tackle once I got over with my exams.

Apart from that, my internship in Leipzig is all secured now and I already found a nice little flat close to the Institute I'll be working at. I really hope things will go well there. And then, spring next year, I'll return to Hildesheim and write my thesis.

And then?

Who knows.

Life is just one damned thing after another ... and at the moment nothing seems as certain as it used to be ...
