Did I mention I'm moving?
Aug. 11th, 2002 04:28 pmRather than edit the previous journal entry, I thought I'd simply come out with some factual stuff that won't need much culling.
Maggie and I are moving in together. We'll be sharing a bed in one room of a two-bedroom apartment in Somerville (the city of eighty thousand that parallels Cambridge's north border) beginning in September. We're both excited, even for reasons outside of the romantic ones.
I get to live in the city I spend most of my spare time in, that is home to the majority of my friends, that holds some hip events very often. I'll be within walking distance of the subway and yet have plenty of off-street parking. I'll live across the way from a doughnut bakery.
Maggie gets to leave upstate New York, a proud moment in any Upstater's life. I'll let her detail her own reasons, as it would be presumptuous of me to reel off ones for her.
The big thing is that we get to start our lives together. (Oh, and the rent is cheap.) (Oh, and the move is from one basement to another, so the furniture movement should be simple.) (Oh, and we get to bother![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fangirl715 since it was her apartment first.)
Soon we'll be walking down Lovers' Bike Path (not the official name, but it's suitable) and our phone bills will be significantly smaller.
Today is one of my days off. Am I geeking again? Oh yeah. I dragged Maggie's computer into the living room (it's been in my bedroom) so that I could hook it up to my larger monitor. I'm going to cull a section from its hard drive to install Linux (Red Hat 7.3). Adam sculpts Eve a child from Eve's rib. It is not a real child, but it is a first brick of a home.

P.S.: I bought Ceruzzi's A History of Modern Computing yesterday. It tells the story of computer development from the founders of UNIVAC (Eckert and Mauchly, who get a much more thorough write-up in the book ENIAC) to the 1990s. This is a good read so far.
