Summer 2008 at MDI day 2
Another great day here in Maine!
I spent the entire day out on the hills.
Some more landscape photos:
While walking around on the carriage trails I encountered one of the carriage tours. Pretty normal. But this time some nice old ladies secretly invited me onboard. I snuck on and when the driver asked who I was, that just said I was with them.
So I got a little free ride.

Summer 2008 at MDI
So I'm back in Maine for the week and I did not wast any time to get out to the trails.
Today I went up Mensell and Bernard mountain. It was a easy hike, these hills are not much higher then 1000 feet.
While I was out there, I took some HDR photos out in the fog.
After all the hiking, I went out for dinner with the family. On the way back they bought me a camel pack to stay hydrated in my hikes. Aren't my parents just the best!

Moving, Moving, Moving...
Boxes go out of one house, into cars, then into another house... repeat 500 times.
BTW, the new place has a name:
Ciel sur terre
It was inspired by a very sad song.

FairPoint is slowing me down
Not my internet speed, but how long till I can move into the new apartment. There is no active phone line at the new place. So first we need to have the loop installed before we can migrate the service.
So that is not happening till Monday. I am not living somewhere that there is no internet.

New Laptop time
A combination of factors have come together to make now the right time to invest in a new laptop. I guess the biggest factor is the death of the backlight in my old laptop. Next on the list is the fact that 867 Mhz G4 is not really fast enough to do much of anything any more (other then browsing and Email). It definitely cannot keep up with my photoshop, and media editing aspirations.
so I dropped some cash on a 15 inch, 2.2Ghz MacBookPro. It has all the power I will need for the foreseeable few years.
It should be here by Monday, so I am definitely looking forward to that.

Finaly setup my verizon account
We have been using verizon DSL here at the tower for the last 2 years. Jesse has always been in charge of it and I never thought much of it. However, the first bill came in that I need to pay and it got me thinking about all the services verizon offers that I never utilize.
So i setup a verizon.net account and found the goodie I was looking for. Full access to the verizon Usenet servers. This is old skool file swapping it its best.
but this old dog has learns some new tricks. nbz files can be used to find all that parts of a particular file that has been spread across the server. Pretty nifty.

New place to live!
Mike, Matt, and I have a new place to live! I found a 3 bedroom apartment for $1500 per month, ALL utilities INCLUDED!
Nice!
It is still right in town and walking distance to the Meda offices.
I got a call this morning saying that we have the place available whenever we want it. We missed the start of this month but we will be able to rent for the last half of the months.
So round about the 15th, we will be pulling out of LaTour.
