My tendonitis is level, meaning it is not getting better nor worse. I feel handicapped, and my new Kinesis keyboard will take a long time to fit into my habits, especially since I am learning Dvorak at the same time.
Anyway,
Joey’s post is reason enough to make a short exception, and
bring out the old PS/2 with the familiar qwerty
layout. There’s been some news in my life related to Debian: I have
been accepted as a Ph.D. student of Prof. Brian Fitzgerald and will
be performing action research on improving workflow of the
Debian development processes. I am mentioning this here because
version control is stated in
various places as
being the logical step up from dpatch & Co., and I
intend to go yet one step further.
My full proposal is available, and I am looking forward to your comments. Please note that I may take a while to respond. It’s best if you could include a phone number and times for calling, then I can go easy on my wrists and still talk to you about your thoughts.
Of course, within minutes of learning about my acceptance, I received a very juicy offer from Google, just to make my life a little more difficult. I now have to decide between another two years of academia and Debian, or a career at that colourful company. The question is: can I sustain myself for two years without income or dig up some funding for my research? I’d rather do that than sell myself.
