Plan driven or agile life plan? What is yours?

One of the first things we learned about in the first semester was the software engineering process. And in this process the two main planning strategies: “plan driven development” aka. “the waterfall model” and “agile development.

It’s semester break and instead of taking a holiday from studying and concentrating on building my freelance career and business ( @tuschetier.at 👀), my “wanna‑do‑and‑know‑all” self subscribed to “Winter School – Futures Thinking for Innovation & Entrepreneurship,” because, you know, nothing to do…

did my "methods of software engineering I" exam on thursday. checked the code afterwards..

memo to myself: if you have time left, just take a deep breath and check everything once again. this could have been easily avoided.

Inktober #34 (Bonus Pic #3) – Door

When Kira lost her hearing, she followed me everywhere, often lying by my side or "blocking" doors to sense if someone moved around.

I imagine her walking through that door on her own when she died. We miss her. 🖤

Inktober #33 (Bonus Pic #2) – Resting Day

When Kira turned 16, it was clear to me that this was our last chance for a big trip together. So we went on a 3 week cycling trip through the eastern parts of Austria. Even though we didn’t know it then, it was a beautiful goodbye.

Inktober #32 (Bonus Pic #1) – Window

A year before Kira died, we moved again. The new flat had an almost floor-to-ceiling window with a small ledge and a glass railing - it was the perfect dog balcony. She loved lying in the sun, watching the street below.

Inktober #31 – Hiking Buddies

Kira wasn’t as fast anymore. She needed help getting over obstacles, gravel hurt her paws, and downhill parts were hard on her joints. But you could still see the joy she took in being out and about. So we kept going - just a little slower…

Inktober #30 - Something happening?

During the year Kira lost most of her hearing. This was the first new year we enjoyed without panicking..

Inktober #29 – Fluffy Dumpling

Most of the time, I didn’t call my dog by her name. Instead, I called her "Puppy" (a nickname from our first long hiking trek), "Dumpling" (because she looked like one when rolled up), "Mouse" (those ears!), or "Fluffy"…

Inktober #28 – The Old Dog and the Sea

In 2023, we planned our last hiking trip with Kira. But because she started developing arthritis and limping that year, we took our bicycles instead and cycled along the coast of Northumberland and Scotland. It was so beautiful there!

Inktober #27 – Old Dog’s Delight

The best thing in the world: lying on the balcony, letting the sun warm your aging bones.

This is the image I think of most when I picture Kira growing old.

Inktober #25 – Dogpacking

In 2021, we got new bicycles to do some bikepacking—with Kira, of course! She loved coming along and exploring after being ferried around in her dog trailer like a queen in her carriage.

Inktober #23 – Where’s My Hat?

My partner loved putting things on the dog while it slept. He’d watch for any reaction, but the dog would just be like: "Whatever, if it makes you happy. I’m sleeping anyway…" 😴

Not that she needs one with that coat…

Inktober #21 – Cat or Dog?

Funny story about the reference photo for this drawing: I entered it into a photo competition, and some selected photos, including this one, were displayed publicly. The woman who hung them told me, "What a nice photo of your cat." 😄

Inktober #20 – In the Woods

The misty woods and fox calls in the distance made this scene feel almost magical.

On our hike through the Ligurian Alps, we had a whole week of mist and drizzling rain—with some downpours in between. Not exactly how you imagine Italy!

Inktober #19 – Frau Hitt

This little rock needle is well-known in Tyrol. It’s part of a saga about the giant empress "Frau Hitt," who was turned to stone by God as punishment. Now, for all to see, it stands in the mountains above Innsbruck.

Inktober #18 – Corner Dog

Looks comfy...

Not sure why, but our dog loved to lie in corners—especially in front of the entrance door. Always made for funny poses 😄
