life update
So, major changes for me, recently.

I've been living in Alabama near Columbus, GA since 2004, until last month, when I moved to the DC metro area. That's a bit vague because I haven't actually gotten a place of my own, yet, and I'm not sure exactly where that will be when I do. For years, I've been struggling at running a small business which never seemed to have enough income, and so I've thrown in the towel on that one, and got a W2 job. Actually, I'm still doing the business (RandallSquared), since the amount of work involved is so light that I can do both, but my main income-producing activity now has a title of "PHP Programmer". Not my favorite thing to do, but it pays 3-4 times what "Owner & Lead Developer of RandallSquared" did, and it's near the bottom of the pay scale for things I do in this area, so I'm feeling rather optimistic about the near future.

The past few weeks have been my first experience with public transit for more than one or two trips, and while I'm impressed at how well it runs, I'm also very tired of it. Due to staying with friends in Alexandria, VA, and working in Gaithersburg, MD, there's 4-5 hours of public transit in every workday. Must buy car.

I'm off in a few minutes to rent a used car, something I'm going to do repeatedly until I find something I really like so I know what to look for when I buy a car in a month or three.

Anyway, rare update over.
