Guess I've been hanging out on the wrong forums....


Errr...


Wait...


Wrong message!


Good news/bad news. All the big furniture has been moved so we're now living at the new place. Whew! But... No internet yet. I'm shutting down this PC and moving it so I won't be online for a couple of days unless I'm either back here at the old house on the workshop PC or I'm at an internet cafe.

Verizon should have us back up online Tuesday. Cyas!

Bigger place Jess? you NEED it.

Yes, it will be bigger, but it will most likely be a garcade for me. I could have a large loftcade but no way I'm going to try and lug all my games up winding stairs. I mean, it's possible, but man, just thinking about it sounds painful.

I just hate moving in general. It will be the third time in almost four years for us.
 
Thanks guys!

Since I don't have internet access at home, and I didn't want to drive all the way into the office, I'm sitting over at the office of a reseller I used to support. I'm no longer in channels at work and am instead on a product team, but they still let me in the door here. :)

Verizon has conflicting info. They told my wife tomorrow for the install... and are trying to get me to confirm via email an install for Friday. EEEK. Bastards.

This house is 900sq ft larger than what we had, has a huge game room, walk-in closets in every room of the house but 1, and enough yard space to build me a nice workshop.
 
new house rules,
moving sucks

best of luck... hope things don't get lost or broken.... but it always happens.
 
Glad to hear you're getting settled in a bit channelmanic.
(moving always sucks during the process)

I decided 10 years ago that I would never move again.
Got 5 acres to spread out on now, no reason to look back. :)
 
Wow...

When it rains, it pours.

We're in the middle of the bank financing stuff... Verizon says Friday... Dallas is paralyzed by an ice storm, and we're having rolling blackouts. (That ended an hour ago thankfully!)

It took me 20 minutes to go 5 miles over here to the old house so I could use the phone and internet for conference calls and getting some stuff emailed out that I've been working on offline for the day job.

You know it's bad when Wal-Mart closes.

But, Verizon says we're still on for Friday. We shall see. On a positive note their installers WERE out working yesterday. I saw the vans while making the 20 minute trip to the old house to get some internet access.

Damn new neighbors have their wireless access secured. :(

Backyard Shackcade, it's what I have and no way I want to be in the house. Play, drink, be loud and disturb nobody.
Oh, crongrats on the move.

Thanks!

The game room is in the house. I already have the cocktail pinball in there and the kid's crane. The bar is in place and the rest of the room is shaping up nicely.

Today I need to get vertical blinds and find someone that can make me some cool art to go on the blinds. I'm thinking maybe some Space Invader characters so when the blinds are closed you see a game. :)

If I can get into the storage facility then I can grab my 6' A/V cables and get all the game consoles and stereo gear wired up... well, except for the rear speakers that will be ceiling mounted. With all the ice and the steep climbs there I don't think I'll be able to get in today. :dead1:

I still need to get a cab for my multi-williams game from Raven... and some side art for it. PLUS, I need teflon leg levelers for all the games. If anyone knows where to find 'em plz PM me. I don't want these nice wood floors all scarred up.

Thanks!

Congrats on the upgrade!

If you find a source for those teflon leg levelers, please share via PM to me as well. ;)

You don't have a smartphone that will let you access the web? Argh! Cool that you have that office nook to fight off the cravings!
 
Wow...

Try no power! We have not had power for over three hours. My wife is going to take the baby to some friends if the power doesn't come back on soon. I'm hoping the pool equipment doesn't freeze. Oh well fingers crossed.

You getting Fios?
 
We had 15min on/15min off/ repeat/ at the old house and only 2 20 to 30min outages at the new one.

Yup... going from FIOS to FIOS. I loves me some FIOS. :)
