I posted some photos of our new apartment, and it occurred to me that Several things are noteworthy:
1. Its in a house. Odd.
2. It faces a small park, and is a block from the Charles River = green space
3. We’re no longer in the heart of Central Square — it’s a a good 10 minute walk to the red line now.
4. I don’t like being far from the red line
5. Dark hardwood floors are cool. who knew
6. Presley is happy we’re moving. which is reason enough
I’ve re-upped my subscription to Typepad, mostly because I love the features. The photo album alone is worth the $11.96 a month.
Anyhow, one added bonus, is the ability to dole out discounts to deserving folks:
As our thanks for taking the time to help beta test TypePad, we’re offering you the chance to share the savings of a 20% lifetime discount with twenty of your friends and family members. We really appreciate the community that has formed during testing and we hope that it continues to thrive as the service grows.
Let me know if you’re interested—it’s great software from great people.
We visited our apartment again tonight, and it seems as if they are re-wiring the unit. Holes are sloppily punched and cables run through our walls, leaving a dusting of plaster on our belongings, and clumps of the stuff on the floors, in the sinks, and on our bed.
G & P Management didn’t even think it necessary to let us know, so we could prepare by boxing up our stuff… no, instead, the electricians had to work around the mess, (which was created when the cleaning crew turned everything inside out 2 weeks ago), so of course they managed to break everything in sight.
…coffee maker, george foreman grill, french press, blender, speakers, bottles of alcohol, wine glasses, shelf, frame holding autographed Liz Phair album cover, grandmother’s oriental rug, & star-shaped paper latern… we’re keeping a list.
My parents are in town visiting, and I thought it would be fun to go to a Red Sox game…
Never-mind that it’s late-august, during a pennant and wild-card race, in the craziest baseball city with the smallest stadium in mlb.
After trying in vain to find 4 tickets together for this weekend on craigslist, I ponied up and started calling brokers. These guys must make a killing– that’s all I’ll say.
We ended up 10 rows up from Pesky’s poll, way the hell out in right field. Still, the rain held after a violent thunderstorm, and we got to see a terrific game.
I love Byung-Hyun Kim, but he simply has to stop with this choking thing. A closer is a closer. Lights out.
Too bad I forgot the digital camera…
It’s worm week here at my workplace. The lastest little virus is the W32.Welchia.Worm, which has attacked our internal servers here, and spread like wild fire.
The funny thing about this virus, is that it’s purpose seems to be to clean up last weeks’ mess, the MS Blast worm. The Welchia goes into a system, deletes the MSBlast virus, and tries to download a patch from Windows Update. How friendly!
At least it’s a friday — maybe we can all get out of here.
Someone I know (who may work at mit.edu) is spreading the
W32.Sobig.F@mm virus… it’s not a terrible worm, but annoying to keep getting hundreds of emails in my otherwise spam-free work email inbox…
More evidence that this guy has appeal outside the 2 coasts…
Playing the blues, and he’s self-taught.
I don’t think Clinton had chops like that.
