Movers arrived. As usual there was confusion between what I thought we’d told them we’d have packed vs. what they believed they’d need to pack. *sigh* Never can go without a hitch, eh?
House is 20% emptied

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…
So,it’s now noon. The movers were due here at noon or as early as 10am.
shimmeringjemmy has just gone running for food. I think we’re as ready as we’re going to be for the movers. I am just hoping that everything we plan to take in the vehicle will fit in the vehicle.
Little woozy, but that mey be just the 3.5 hrs of sleep and lack of food.
WHEE!!!!!
Server down time so far: 5 minutes for software update.
I should try to sleep, eh?
Office and den are almost at the point where I can point and walk away from them. I’ve got about another 3-4 hrs of organization.
Tomorrow…err today.. Arrowhead comes and claims the water cooler. They don’t deliver to Washington state. So, I’d have to pay $250 for the cooler. Not worth it. $9.95/month was fine, but if I’m going to buy one, it’ll be through a vendor.
Next week I’ll talk about our really fun surprise that I got on Friday of last week. Don’t worry, we’ll be legal (for the most part) 😉
The list for tomorrow… err today keeps getting longer.
Sp, poker and packing anyone. Wednesday evening?
