Every time I look at LJ I see this totally out-of-date post of mine, so: not buying a house in Madison, actually! Am planning to move to Boston next year, prolly sort of quite-late-summer 2014! The house falling through was sort of a huge downer, sort of a big financial relief.
Speaking of old news: dear zero people who still go to my Minecraft server, note that I have finally patched that sucker so it's up to date version-wise. Dear anybody else—if you ever want to play vanilla Minecraft, note that I have a perfectly nice server going. It has some rather snazzy existing structures, but there's infinite room for more; I even have a couple of gates up to far-off places if you want to start a Distant Outpost.
