We’ve Moved!
Yes, we finally have. I can say it officially. Sure, there’s still a TV and an ironing board in our old place, not to mention all the holes we still have to putty, but we won’t get to that stuff until we actually have to give the keys back.
We’ve been moving for the past week with a quick interruption for Thanksgiving in Maine (with stops in Gloucester, New Haven, Swampscott and Jamaica Plain ). Moving, four flights down, four flights up — over and and over again. I’m not exactly sure how we’re going to get out of this apartment whenever we decide to move again. Our stuff is so high up.
I’ve been without proper internet access for a week and a half, very off the grid. My connection has been a tethered N95 over bluetooth which surprisingly allows me to be online and make phone calls at the same time. The throughput reminds me of being thirteen years old and calling boards with upload/download ratios and 9600bps modems. I move much faster than that.
Today I am finally back online after endless arguments with Verizon.
And while I was out of the loop, Google released a new version of mobile maps that gives approximate location using cell towers. All of us with GPS enabled phones have been passively gathering data for them, very nice.
