i’m walking from empty room to empty room, here on marshfield street. the windows are open, the fans are on, a cool breeze is murmuring in the trees outside my window. it’s a beautiful night in chicago and i’m not ready to leave yet.
i did a final load of laundry downstairs and the [...]

... never underestimate the power of Craigslist I guess. Well, the combined power of Craigslist and the magic word “free”.
I was getting frustrated looking at all the stuff I had to get rid of, and was only getting very tentative nibbles in response to my first two posts, so I moved the post to [...]

I finally got Rover (the Debian laptop) working well enough to upload some photos for a better-late-than-never moving sale… see here in case you’re looking for any herichon collectibles. (Some apologies go to those who gave me some of these things originally, notably bluesquare and josie – sorry guys but there was just no [...]

i’m shutting down lithium for the last time here in chicago… she’s going into boxes and soon will be en route to portland. any updates from here through the 28th or so (and granted there may not be many, since things may be a bit busy) will be through rover, the debian laptop. [...]

Early this morning, someone stole my bike from where it was locked up in front of my building. Goodbye, poor bike.
I just hope the jackass who went through the trouble to cut the cable got a nice surprise when he realized that it was completley unusuable. The cable he ruined by [...]

I’m not really a big quiz person these days, but I found this interesting, particularly since I’m in the middle of planning a major cross-country move. Your personality type is RCUAI You are moderately reserved, moderately calm, unstructured, accommodating, and intellectual, and may prefer a city which [...]

I’m moving some stuff around and tweaking various things, in case you notice anything unusual. A partial summary:

the MyNetflix2 stuff came off all pages except the plugin page itself (cause I was getting tired of looking at it for now, and because I wanted more room to work in)
using some plugins to tweak the [...]

i’m done with this city.
tonight, i’m out on my bike, not two blocks from my house, trying to get some air and exercise and clear my head a bit. and what happens? some random bitch runs a stop sign, totals my bike and fucks up my leg. i tell her to stay [...]
