So it is officially official. The SEA move is happening, and soon. Today was my last day working in the office, and I cannot say I will miss working in a cubicle. My employers have graciously allowed me to remain in their employ and telecommute which will be interesting with a 3 hour time difference [...]

The Tactical Datacenter has been spun down and stowed, it’s ready to go to Seattle. We lose our Internet connection tomorrow as well, and then it’s all just real work until our Saturday departure.

It’s all true, I’ve driven across the country a few times and taken more >2500km trips then I can really remember.

The furniture is starting to disappear into other people’s hands, although not as quickly as we’d like. It’s not surprising to me that the stuff that sold the quickest (immediately) and still held some value were tools and tool-related things, the air compressor and my tool chest. I maintain that tools always hold value, and [...]

We will be departing BOS for SEA overland on 9/5. Looking forward to being back in the 425, particularly before the brutal and soul-diminishing New England winter sets in. Fate permitting we hope to make the trip in 3 days, which would be a record for me. Sadly – SADLY – this has screwed up [...]
