DIY Librarian

I never set a very high standard for posting frequency on this blog, but I also did not intend to go over a month without posting.

It turns out that while you can decide to buy a house on a whim, carrying out the purchase and relocation does take a significant amount of work. So for the past two months, I’ve been doing fun things like applying for a mortgage, packing boxes, and getting to know every aisle of my local home improvement stores. In the end, it will all be worth it, and in the meantime I have at least unpacked my computer and gotten a high-speed internet connection.

I had been a dial-up holdout up until now. While everyone else I knew was simultaneously chatting on the phone, IMing their friends, downloading music, and shopping for discount airfares, I was making a cup of coffee while waiting for my email to load, hoping that no one was trying to call me.

It had its advantages. I didn’t spend much time at home in front of the computer. And I knew instantly when a web page I had designed was taking too long to load.

It also had its disadvantages, so I have finally taken the plunge into the land of high-speed. And wondering what took me so long!

Now that life is a little calmer and I am more connected, you can expect more frequent postings from DIY Librarian.
