XPC Rocks! The Shuttle XPC finally arrived. Well, we had to go pick it up in Auburn, yesterday. FedEx Ground kept on trying to deliver it on the wrong side of the street. Wow… This thing is so tiny. When they say the size of shoe box, they mean it. I probably won't set it up until the weekend, but I couldn't resist trying it out. It booted up without a hitch, so I'm assuming everything's A-OK. I'm definitely going to have to get a copy of the 64bit version of XP… [@857]
Fire! There has been a string of arsons in our neighborhood. Yesterday, it hit very close to home. Someone set a trash bin on fire about 15 feet from our building. The press was camped out it front of the building most of day, yesterday. Our neighborhood is going down the drain, fast. We also talked with a neighbor who told us they got jumped by a couple of drug addicts a few weeks back. In the parking lot, early morning, on their way to work. That's it. We're getting a new place. We've been thinking about it for a while anyway. I'm going to get in touch with some real estate people next week and start looking for a new condo. We should able to find something pretty quick. I'm also still planning on taking a trip to Barcelona at the end next month to find/buy a house. I have to wait for my mom to get back from vacation in Tunisia. I wouldn't think of buying anything in Europe without her. She's the real estate expert in the family.
