Tryphoon’s Lair

This might be a pure geek joke but after all these years spent working close to web servers, I couldn’t think of anything else when I received the key of our new home on Saturday: “We have found 404!”…

You can see some pictures of the new and empty place in the “prettypics” section…

So far, the move is going well, we have been working non stop over the weekend and have completed close to 50% of the move, our main idea being to only have our large pieces of furniture to load into the truck on Saturday morning but have everything else already there, sorted and placed where it belongs! This couldn’t have been possible without Sarah’s mum presence this month in L.A., looking after Thia and packing boxes while Sarah and I load and unload our both cars…

This however came at a price:

• First, we have been going back and forth between the 2 houses all weekend, packing, loading, unloading, unpacking, sorting. Please repeat until exhaustion reaches you!
• As we now have a fair amount of kit in the new house, our new landlord, Ed, told me last night that he would never leave the house empty as people have seen us carry boxes and stuff all weekend and now know that there are some valuables in the place. As he managed to instill doubt in me, I resorted in moving in, on my own for the week.

The annoying part in this is that there is still no heating nor hot water in the place, so I have to still go back and forth between both houses in the morning to take a shower before going to the office (and obviously having breakfast with the family)…

The great part in this is that I will finally have the time to catch up on my “Battlestar Galactica” and “Heroes”!!!

Next step on the to do list:

• Transfer utilities to the new house
• Get gas in the new house!
