Ha! Everyone is giving him too much credit. I think he was just interested in our shrimp and pizza.

I'm enjoying the comforts and quirks of my new place. Today was the day of luxuriating in reactivating my Netflix account. I queued up Food, Inc for instant viewing, then followed it with the pilot episode of Buffy. The former should be required viewing for anyone who isn't going to read Fast Food Nation or The Omnivore's Dilemma. The latter was just pure fun....

Things that, unlike 24 hours ago, are now in my apartment:

  • A stove
  • A refrigerator
  • A futon, plus a guest futon
  • 2 tables, 5 chairs
  • Me

It's starting to look like someone could live here.

In theory my new rental company could make it harder to do business with them, or give them money. Some tips, if they were looking for ways:

1) Bury all the buildings you manage underground.
2) It's not good enough that your managed properties don't show up on google maps. Some of the businesses that operate out of them do. If you fixed that, I...

Update: Loft application approved. The landlords are over-the-top disorganized and tell me it may be a week before they have the papers ready to sign to move in, but the deal is a go.

Also: New laptop ordered. I'm eager to move back off a two generation out-of-date non-pro laptop for my coding. A shiny new MacBook Pro 17", modestly hotrodded, is on it's way...

I'm wanting to settle in the Bay. It's like what you're doing, but less decisive, and on the other side of the world with no visa.

I've put in an application on a Deep Oakland loft.

It's what I was looking for: Lots of open space that's mine to play with and build out into my lair. Cheap. Nixon originally recommended it on the strength of it's lard delivery hardware, which we must admit, is impressive.

It's is also in the proximity of many awesome things. Ecce:

I have a mac question--might you be willing to offer some help?


SPOILERS! (Click to view)

I partitioned my hard drive, running virtual box, installed windows xp, so I can run both os x and windows--cuz the webcam site I wanna hook up with only works with windows for some bizarre reason--but I cannot for the life of me get it to recognize my webcam (not the built in webcam on the macbook, a separate webcam) and all the help sites I've checked just say to do what I'm doing over and over again and also to sacrifice a small child and then maybe it'll work. No luck so far.



Good luck with the loft!

2 days and 1,600 miles down.

Caught a muffelata and beignets in New Orleans with SexyBeast.

Almost had a wheel fall off my car in Austin.

Kicking back in a cheap hotel in Tucson, now.

See you tomorrow, LA.

I will double check with her, but I imagine it should be ok, as it is in its own separate bedroom and has its own separate bath as well. I will get back to you later today.
anemilee:
Ah, excellent...I was wondering about that! So you'll be in town on the 6th???

Hmmm...San Antonio...I ought to be able to answer this one...
The central library is rather nice (it's a color known as enchilada red, and an interesting piece of architecture). The botanical gardens and the McNay Art Museum are also worth checking out. The alamo is rather overrated, but then again, I'm from there. I'd tell you to go look up the rents, but they'll actually be in Peru.

Also, you MUST eat a taco, or at least order a dozen tortillas, from Taco Cabana. Do it for the children.
Oh, and the Liberty Bar at 328 Josephine Street is an interesting place to eat...it's very...slanty.

12 hours before I step out of a European hotel for the last time for this while. Then onto a plane for the long flight back stateside.

You know I'm looking forward to getting a computer again and diving back into creating.

I'm also looking forward to having a place of my own again, and feathering that nest. It will be strangely feathered, of course....

Thank you. That's a really great point. I have an ING account that I always forget about, so that might be a good option. It's not hard to get money out of it, but it's not part of my daily bank account system.

There's no replacement for the thing itself. I'm chomping at the bit (or the byte) to get back to coding on my game. No amount of reading about iPhone coding, studying coding theory, or scribbling down concepts for the game scratches that same itch.

And yet I have a week to kill in London. Nothing feels less satisfying or more meaninglessly self indulgent right now...

Life remains good.

The thing about being a programmer and having your computer stolen is, it makes you stop, and think.

You can't work. What's more, the distractions you first turn to vanish at the same time. So if there's something you were avoiding thinking, you don't get to hide from it anymore.

Here's the thought I'd been hiding from:
I've been ready to be...

Does this mean GPTV is getting turned off sooner?

Sorry to hear your computer got stolen, when and where did that happen?

Whereabouts are you staying at the moment and will you be able to get to London for Friday? There is one cinema I would like to see the film in, Apollo - Piccadilly Circus, but I don't know if they will have it on the night. Hopefully they do as it would be easy for everyone to get to/from.
