Changes Afoot

_Learn to face the strain_. I’ve been busy these last few days rearranging my life and daily bread around. I moved to a location closer to downtown Mountain View on Saturday, but I’m sort of off the grid at the moment: my phoneline is not working and neither is my internet connection. So it’s been a few days of being tired and unplugged from moving and nonconnectivity, which is actually kind of nice (at least on the analog side).

Strangely enough, I found a spot in the townhouse where I can pick up a Google WiFi connection. It works only in one spot however, probably because it’s basically line of sight onto the next street which has a transmitter (GoogleWiFi Node: 250 Jason Way[37.39524384, -122.0719713]) I believe. Normally Google Wifi isn’t strong enough to work indoors, so I consider myself lucky to be able to see it on the network list.

I’ve also started my new gig with the _red envelope through the mail_ company which I’m absolutely digging. Completely new milieu doing interesting technical problems with technology I actually respect and with a great team to boot. I haven’t been this psyched about the daily grind in years. Hooray for me!

Hopefully tomorrow, I’ll at least get my internet connection back. Until then, I’m not expecting to get too many chances for updates.
