So, shortly we should have professional movers descend upon us.
Here’s our schedule:
Thursday (today): Movers, Panic, then a quiet evening with new friend mmorena
Friday: Dentist, house cleaning, carpet steaming, Pack car.Take recyclables and old equipment away, Dinner with old friends, Change DNS on all servers, Computers down and pack into car.
Saturday: Drive to Washington. (We’re living about 20-40 min NE of Seattle)
Sunday: Morning- Fall into house. DirecTV. Computers Up
Ah yes, Directv here was a snafu. They will come out Sunday and place a new dish on the house for us. We leave the old one in L.A. Of course, I didn’t think about this and scheduled it the day we arrive. The TV won’t in fact make it for up to 2 weeks. I can’t reschedule at this point due to the time proximity. sheesh
Monday: New Insurance (auto/rental), Register car. Pick up WA Driving Guide.
Call movers, find out when delivery is.
So, the plan with the computers is the neat part. I have full time servers for about 4 different organizations including my own company. The DSL and IP addresses are theoretically up and running at the new site. If my plan works. I will change the DNS routing on Friday night. Drive Saturday, and by the time I arrive in Seattle, I should just plug them in, change the IPs and the machines should just be back up.
Yeah… In theory, theory and practice are the same…
If you need help with anything, once up here in WA, don’t hesitate to ask.
Have a safe trip up here.
