Good news, I'm moved into my new place! Due to some clutch help from a lot of people, the moving process wasn't too painful (although a wee bit warm). We finished in about 2 1/2 hours, which I say is pretty good time. Unpacking, well, that's still ongoing. I'm doing well though I think - my bedroom is basically good to go. The TV is more or less hooked up - I probably won't attach the back speakers to the surround sound, so it's a relatively simple setup going on there. I still have the arcade cabinet to piece together and a few other things to clean up, but I'm well on the path to victory.
Achieving internet is a long story - unfortunately, the end result is I won't have legit internet until August 31st. I've been hijacking my iPhone's data connection which works surprisingly well, though not so much for a server. So my gallery server will be unavailable until then.
The new place generally has been good. It's clear that the office doesn't excel at communication in my dealings with them so far. Hopefully I won't have to deal with them too much.
That's about all I got there. Glad to have this moving thing more or less done. Still have to change a few addresses, which is lame, but necessary. Also have to return my Comcast goods, which I am really excited about being done with them. After much hand-wringing, I'm bailing on cable and I'm going with AT&T's U-Verse internet. I think it will be a good thing.
I'd really like to get Hulu up and running on something on my TV, although I need internet before I can do that. I've had Hulu Plus for a while now, and it's been less than awesome. That's another post though. With any luck, by the time Molly and I get back from the cruise, Apple will have released a sweet new Apple TV replacement for $99 that will make all my worries go away. Somehow I doubt that will happen. Otherwise it's time to get serious about a home theatre PC (again). Though in the meantime, I might start by just getting a good pair of rabbit ears...I forget that HD comes over the air for free these days!
