Moving the “band”

Filed under: — Dan-Tron @ 12:01 pm

Recently 4 of my friends got a notice that they have to move out of their place. The four of them, Ken, John, JJ, and Scott, all lived together in a two story condo. This place has been for years the main gathering place for all of us in a large group of friends. We have had a lot of fun up there every Friday for years. However the owner of the place wants to sell it. So they got a 60 day notice. Many of us were afraid that the “band” would break up because of this. The four of them seem to have a very good dynamic living together as roommates. It would be a absolute shame to see that situation destroyed. After a very thorough and coordinated search, they have found a new place to live. It is almost in exactly the same location so nobody has to drive any more or less to get to school and work than before. If the location changed, it could have been a deal breaker for some and that would be bad. The new place is a house. It has 4 bedrooms, 2 bath, separate 2 car garage, backyard, and is located in a very nice neighborhood. I helped them move in on this past Saturday. They rented a moving truck and we filled that, as well as our truck and Dave’s truck.

I will miss the old place. It was kind of neat with the stairs and large mirror wall. :-) The old place was within walking distance of Vons too. We’ll be doing more driving to get food and stuff now. The new place does have a few more perks that the old place dind’t have. The Backyard and Garage will be really nice for them to have. Scott and John want to do projects in the garage. We’re having our annual SausageFest 2007 at the new house. (Stay tuned for more on that). Here’s some pics.

A big congratulations goes out to Ken, John, JJ, and Scott for a successful move.  It was a pleasure helping you move and I am sure I speak for everyone when I say we will all look forward to many more Fridays up at the condo…err, house.  :-)

Tis the season for UPGRADES!

NOTICE:

Over the next few days/weeks I will be working on my servers. I am doing some major upgrades that will result in loss of services such as my blog going down, Tiger CAM going down, and/or some camera controls being unavailable. When I am done with the upgrades I will have 2 servers with identical hardware which will both be in my rack in 19” rack mount cases. Right now only one server was in a rack case and it is an old PIII 500MHz 10GB HD system that runs almost all my web pages, camera feeds, camera controls, shoutbox, etc. It’s seen better days and it is time to upgrade.

:-)

Thank you.
