Come on over to my new apartment. I’m having a housewarming party on September 6th, and if you are reading this, you’re invited! Here are the details:

It’s a BYOB (Beverage) party, as we’ve just moved in, but we’ll provide snacks, music, video games, board games, and, oh yes, a place for the party. It’s a 220 #2 River Street, Waltham. If you want directions, e-mail me. There is some parking on premises, but don’t worry, there is also a parking lot 2 blocks down. The party is scheduled to start at 6, but like any other party, that’s just when we’ll be sure to have the chips out and the music on. *grin* So come see Chad, Dan, and Dan’s new apartment!

Well, after over a month hiatus where I was variously too busy, too bored, too boring, too absent, or otherwise too excuseful to deal with the fact that my sql tables had little holes all over and were as soft as swiss cheese I finally pulled down the latest project release, reinstalled, then lifted, sifted, grifted, and drifted my old data into the new tables. Dumped the comments and the chatbox, but only because I considered them expendable (sorry to those of you who were attached to them). I did pull all the articles, newsposts, and user accounts, as well as their associated bits. Oops, some of you might have some problems if your userprefs reference a now nonexistant theme. Let me know if that happens to you. Anyhow, the site is now alive and rolling!

Hrm. I started noticing the other day that there are some milestones that I’ve passed recently, or that are approaching soon, and thought I’d list some of them (in no particular order)…

I’ve been employed at Brandeis for 3 years as of June 12th.
I stop being 25 at the end of August.
I move into a new apartment (replete with Jacuzzi) at the beginning of August.
I’ve had an account on ebay for almost 7 years (September, 1996).
I have been dating adsr83 for over 3 months.
I have gone to more SCA events in the past 4 months than in the entire year prior.

Ok, my brain is tired, so I’ll add more to this list as I remember them.

In the meantime, there will be a housewarming party towards the end of August, and if you’re reading this, you’re invited. More details in a month or so.

Oh, hey, and http://www.buttonmen.dhs.org is nifty.
