I'm apparently supposed to write a blog entry now, as people (you, perhaps?!) have been telling me they've been looking for one and can't find it.

Well, Saturday night was an interesting night. I hung out with my neighbors on Bob's porch until 1:00 AM. There were nine of us, including the woman who previously lived in my house (she has moved to Brownsville, Texas, oddly.). We talked about everything, and we all had something to say, since we come from wildly varying backgrounds. One of the interesting things about the demographics of this group, by the way, is that three are from South America. In this neighborhood, it would be common for the immigrants to be Asian or Middle Eastern, but not our group! Anyway, that was lots of fun, and I look forward to more gatherings like that.

In other news, unpacking is just making things messy and ugly right now, but maybe Taylor, who is coming to Pittsburgh tomorrow to stay for a week, can help with that. I also now have cable Internet access, which is blazingly fast, and a washer and dryer that make beeps and have lights that blink and are super-efficent, and gas service is still scheduled for Wednesday. I wonder how Taylor's going to enjoy taking a freezing cold shower?

Because I have Internet access here now, I moved my server and most of the rest of my other things out of Katy's place tonight. When I plugged the server's UPS into the wall, it overloaded the circuit, and I had to go find the breaker box and fix things. It seems I can only have one air conditioner and one UPS on any of my circuits. Which is interesting, since the only grounded circuits are in my bedroom and my study. Anyway, one long power cable extension later, the problem is solved, if not elegantly.

I took some pictures last night, but I don't feel like making them all blog-ready right now. Stay tuned — I'll try to have them up here in the next couple days.
