Yep, it’s true. And why not? The economic conditions are perfect. It just makes sense, and so I took the plunge. I found the house below and got it under contract less than two days later. This past week I compared mortgage lenders and finally decided to go with Bank of America on a 30-year fixed rate FHA mortgage at 4.75%. I uploaded the photos to my Google Picasa album. Check it out:

Okay, so I haven’t updated ye olde blog in awhile. I’ve been – ahem – busy. Perhaps I need to borrow ibiblio’s bloggy to help out. Meh, I never was much of a blogger anyway.
The good news is that in the past few months, I’ve been focusing on things I care about, like doing more reading outside of computer-related fields. Also going to the gym, and rock climbing.
I also landed a new job, as a unix systems administrator at Tekelec, Inc. (My thanks to Bob Minowicz and the good people at ResolvIT, like Kate Lewis, for assisting.)
One of my tasked projects at Tekelec is wrangling in their unix systems with something called Puppet. It’s pretty neat and I’m psyched about it. Plus, it’s always good to be the Puppetmaster. Getting it to run on Solaris 2.6 — now that’s a different story.
As of today, I’ve migrated this blog to my own virtual hosting and updated to Wordpress 2.7.1. Now, maybe I will actually spend some time and select a half-way decent theme…
