Seattle Is The Place
June 14th, 2007 by drokickiI appear to have moved to Seattle. Suddenly, my surroundings are different, and my bed 99% closer to the datacenter.
The house is old, but still standing (actually, it’s quite nice) at it’s centenial year. It’s big, red, and has a commanding view, not to mention $4 cheaper than my 20% smaller apartment in San Jose. Big apartment versus bigger house for a frapaccino less in cash. You do the math.
The story is this: Michael flew me up here to Seattle to do some work for him. Then he moved up here, moved the datacenter up here, and flew me up here to do work for him a few more times. It went on like this for months, when suddenly, I’m unloading a truck into the new house.
It’s nice up here, and it’s good to be able to get to the datacenter in under 4 hours. The food in SJ is better, but the people up here seem nicer, in general. Nice people are often unsuspecting.
In the meantime, I’ll post again in a week, after I get all those machines I lugged with me installed and ready for new or expanding customers.

Woo hoo! We’re all up here now (except for Daniel). Sure the Bay Area has good Burritos, Sushi, Chinese, Ethiopian, Fusion, and almost everything.. But it doesn’t have Vegan Donuts and multiple competing CUPCAKERIES!
Seattle rocks.
