GUADEC
I am off to GUADEC soon! Yieepiee! I am driving from here Passau to Stuttgart. It's *just* 400 km and I am planning to be there until late afternoon. If are also already in Suttgart and want to hang out, have diner or something feel more then free to e-mail me. Ohh if you don't know what for clothes to bring to Suttgart here is the link to a weather forecast site.
Summer. Finally!
So it's really summer now. Ohh I really love summer. I already had some really great BBQs and yesterday I opend the swimming-in-lake session. Just great! I am still considering to go to Rock Im Park which is a big festival and this year's lineup is really interesting. I am not sure if it's a good idea to go there though, because I should probably do more for University. Well, let's see ...
Philosophy
I have been reading Camus'
The Myth of Sisyphus
and
The Rebel
the last couple of days. They are really good books and I have to say that I really really like his ideas. Maybe it's because I really feel the same way. I am coming to that question about the meaning of life. I though about this quite a few times and as far as I see it there isn't such a thing. Well to be honest I am not sure if there is a meaning or not but I definitely can't see it. (By meaning I of course mean something as "deep meaning". The simple answer to the "purpose of life" question would be reproduction, but is that really satisfying as *the* meaning of life for us humans?). So I am really often feeling like being Sisyphus, fighting with that stupid summit/source-code/grils/life/the universe and everything. But oh well, to say it with Camus himself: "The fight itself towards the summits[source-code/grils/...] suffices to fill a heart of man; it is necessary to imagine Sisyphus happy." So be it! I am happy! Hope to see you all at GUADEC soon! :)
