1240 days and 10,000 posts later, this is some of what I've been up to.


Moved away from home (800 sqft 1 bed 1 bath apartment). These are mostly taken right when I moved in.

Nice computer! Also, so amazing to move away from home the first time. The freedom is priceless.

Congratz to 10k. Toilet leak pic and Jiyeons/Hyomins in one post - do not approve.
btw, the minus link in your sig redirects to the minus start page because of the slash at the end.

I wanted to take a "this is it now" picture, but my room is a real mess because I've been too lazy to finish unpacking from my business trip + I got a bunch of packages before the weekend. Not to mention I have cables running along the floor right now (eventual plan to run along ceiling somehow).

I actually have the recliner facing a side wall now and a little 32" TV I got from moving in. It's nice to not have to flip a monitor around anytime I wanted to watch something from the recliner.

I was thinking of going for quad GPU just to be safe.

I only went about 20 miles or so. Shortened my commute from an hour each way to maybe 25 minutes.
