The best laid schemes...

As the oft quoted Robert Burns said "The best-laid schemes 'o mice an' men Gang aft agley"...

Suffice to say it looks like our plans of mobile world domination will have to wait a bit. We do still plan to hit the road at some point but right now we're not ready. I mean really... who would have thought it would be so difficult to get rid of two-thirds of your earthly possessions and buy a house on wheels all while running your own business and going to school?

So feeling a might wee and tim'rous we're deferring mobility and moving into a Loft (apartment, not condo) in Uptown Pittsburgh. We're very happy with the building and management and, so far at least, can't speak highly enough of them. (Especially compared to our current landlord of which we shall speak no more.)

Anyone interested in more details can look up the project, which renovated the historic Fifth Avenue School, at their web site at http://5thlofts.com/. Their Facebook page is linked from there and has pictures of similar units to ours.

So here's looking forward to moving... yay... If for some reason you don't get our updated contact info (which probably means we don't have yours) just drop me an email at matt@ this domain.

When Harry and I lived in New York we had a beautiful 3200 sq ft log cabin. When we worked for someone else we used a lot of it but there were parts we didn't use. After we started our own business we probably didn't use even half of it. I miss the cabin but NOT the upkeep. Maybe when we win the lotto and can pay someone to take care of it we'll reconsider it.

Both times we moved to New York it was because we had taken a position with a company that was located in Utica. Now that we work for ourselves we don't have any limitations on where we live in relation to where we work and with that in mind we need to evaluate what resources we need to best be able to do our jobs.

I'm finally actually working on plans to combine all of our disparate sites that don't have a lot of content into one site that allows for all of it. You can see the tentative movements at http://www.neimeyer.org for now. Stuff will start disapearing from our other sites as I bring up our new site.

A web page is almost always a work in progress. Suffice it to say that I've progressed one more time. I've installed Joomla and I've started playing with that. Overall I have to say I'm impressed. Not really sure what I'm going to do in the long run but for now...

Usenet is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea... Massive, difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a source of mind-boggling amounts of excrement when you least expect it.
