Movin’ on up
Well, I went and found a place to live. To recap for those of you not aware, I’m moving out of Smyrna at the end of the next month. Mike has a job in Midtown with Gamecap now, and Smyrna isn’t exactly close to where I work, either, so we are parting ways, casting ourselves into the wild frontier of single bedroom apartments. Besides, I don’t particularly enjoy living in Smyrna or with other people, so it works out all around.
On Friday, I took one of my floating holidays (St. Wendelinus’ day) and went down to Promove. They gave me a gigantic stack of possible places to live, as is their wont, and, after poring over these profiles and driving around for a bit, I settled upon Calibre Springs, a complex tucked away to the east of Roswell Road, near the neck of Fulton (Fulton county is about 3 miles wide at my new latitude, instead of no miles wide), within the (future) city limits of Sandy Springs and inside the perimeter by at least fifty feet or so. The new apartment has all kinds of nice features, like a gas stove, a sun room, a tiny little balcony, and a price lower than what I would expect from a complex with a French “re” in their name. It’s also closer to work, but south of most of Sandy Springs’ crap, which has an odd way of coming to an abrubt halt at I-285. I think I’ll like it, and I’ll be booted out of Cumberland Glen and totally moved into Callibre Springs on November 30th.
You may ask, “How will this affect me?” Fiona, the computer that all this crap is hosted on, will be turned off during the move, and I don’t know when service will return. I’m going to try to get the Speakeasy no phoneline service before giving up and using Moshelink, so that will require some time for the various companies involved to investigate and activate. Expect up to a month of downtime beginning the last week of November. If burdell.org comes back up in that time, I’ll to redirect some web and email traffic that way. If anyone wants to donate web and email services that I can point gandi’s redicrection services at, now would be a good time to offer. I suspect that there’s no way I’m going to find anyone to host a gopher site, so don’t expect glog updates until everything returns.
