Paranoia and other emotions

So here I am thinking more about paranoid lunacy and system security. I found a neat little device that's actually a very cool idea I had a few months ago. A small USB solid-state drive that needs to scan a fingerprint for access. I'm not entirely sure how it works, like if it's just a drive that requires OS support, or if it has the whole biometric check and everything built into it (I hope that's the case, then it will work under Jaguar, which I'm now running full-time on my ibook). I sort of wonder if they pulled it off right...

Also on the list of items to mull over is my continued stay in Dresden. Two things influence me heavily to leave: one, it is highly unlikely I can finish the program in two years. The average student here takes 2.5 to 3. The second is wondering if staying here that long would be badness between Annie and myself. Only getting to see each other 2-3 times a year would be very bad. And she's someone I really don't want to lose to stupidity now. So that's the thing to mull over these days. Yeah, a little different outlook than even a few months ago
