Well, I haven’t posted much lately. Life has been busy. Work is slowly returning to something resembling normal after the month-long email crisis. The current hot project is wireless access, which is supposed to be available in a few weeks. There are a fair number of lab projects to do this summer, including a major upgrade of one of our Mac labs (complicated by the fact that we’re switching from PowerPC Macs to Intel Macs). I gave blood on Thursday! Voluntarily that is.
On the home front, we’re moving on April 28th! I have pics of the new house up in our photo gallery … some are from this past week when we got in to take measurements. Figuring out the finances has been quite a challenge. We need to purchase a fridge and a stove for the new place and since we’re going to be there a while, we’re getting nice ones. Complicating matters is the fact that the clutch on my truck decided to stop working earlier this week. Thankfully, rather than the clutch itself failing, it appears that it was just the “slave cylinder” for it (which looks to be about a $30 part) … but it’s still going to be a fair amount for labor.
Last weekend was the end of Dance Theatre stuff for the year, with our final concert on Saturday night. After the concert, rather than going to the cast part, Liz and I went out with Liz and Corey (ex-gf and her bf) to eat in Hudson. That was fun. We should get over to their neck of the woods one of these days.
This weekend I’m working on the DVD for this year’s Dance Theatre concert. I should have actually started it earlier this week, particularly since the adjustments to the video image (adjusting gamma) are taking a bit of time for the computer to render. We’re heading up to my parents place later this morning to spend some time visiting, but I think we’ll come home late this afternoon rather than staying up for dinner.
This coming week shouldn’t be too exciting. There’s the Dance Theatre banquet on Wednesday (hence a deadline for getting the DVD completed), so that should be fun. Not sure how much posting I’m going to get done in the next few weeks because there is a fair amount of packing to get done of course. We’re getting a storage unit in town so we can move most of the stuff out before moving day. We’ll be closing from noon to 2ish and then we can move in! Yay!
Looks nice. Have fun moving, hopefully you will get nice weather when you move. I had to help my parents move a couple of weeks ago, what a PITA.
Your new house looks out in the county, are you going to be banished to dial-up/direcway hell? My mom was happy (she loves to order stuff online) because even thought their new house is in the country, there is a remote DSLAM in the area
There’s actually land-line cable out there … from the same provider I currently have. So no dialup/direcway/wildblue hell for us.
