Froosh. Stuff.

I’m a moderately busy person. Not “Cory Doctorow” busy, but busy enough with family, work, personal projects, and keeping up with the current state of IT geekdom that stopping to watch the TV, go to a movie, or listen to radio just doesn’t happen on a schedule. I’m documenting my current methods of coping, with the intent to check back in a few years and see what I’ve been up to.

Read on for more, but I’ll warn you I ramble and get a bit verbose.

Exclamation marks…!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so maybe I’m freaking out just a little bit.

We’ve been investigating buying a house for about a year, but things took a sudden and unexpected turn yesterday when we signed a land purchase contract as part of a home-and-land package.  Eeeek.

The house plan is nothing special, just a bulk plan-from-a-book called the Rosehill 210.  It’s simple, straight-forward, and probably more than we need.  The block of land is not too much more than required to fit the house, but is on a quiet street and has a playground/barbeque/walking track all in close proximity.  The living/rumpus areas of the house will be facing approx 10 degrees East of due North - a reasonable compromise between building a bulk home and catering to my Tree Hugger nature.

More news and probably pictures to follow as things progress.

Eeek.

Why have I been blogging so often recently (at least compared with my previous average)?

I have borrowed a laptop from work, run a cable from the study to the lounge, and have been spending my evenings reading, coding, learning, blogging.

Ok, so wireless & tablet makes a lot more sense now!
