Blog #36 - Sith Holocron Moves

Hey folks, I've had this message set up in advance so I can activate it and be on my merry way.

 

On or about the 20th of July 2016, my possessions will be boxed up and I will start the long move from the east coast of the United States all the way up to Alaska. That's a long hike - and with a whole country in between! Adding to the time it takes to move all my family's stuff, there's also the matter of the housing situation being set up on the other end of the journey. (I may be in temporary housing for up to a month.) And there's the settling in at my new job to think of as well.

 

All told, I may be away from the modding scene for up to two months.

 

I can be reached via email but my time will be limited. So . . . if you have questions about uploading your mods or other staff needs, please reach out to one of our fine moderators to help you with your inquiry. (Remember, if you're not entirely sure who's the best person to ask, ask a Moderator before you make the jump to an Administrator.

 

I will miss you guys. Behave! :D

 

Secret Team Personnel: I wish you the best with the Secret Project. I look forward to seeing something interesting that you might report once I'm back. ;)

Congrats on the new job and have a safe and successful trip up to Alaska, SH. 

 

Wishing you much success with your future goals in Alaska. ;)

Thanks, Purifier!

 

One last thing: a reminder that I still have a texture request in the Mod Requests section. Perhaps I'll have a few textures to choose from by the time I get back.  (One can only hope.)

 

But enough about me talking about myself.  I'll let you do that!

Moderators: Make sure you keep checking for new uploads of mods and any the night be reported broken as I will be too busy to do so until I am back full time.

Wow, that's quite a jump. I hope it all goes smoothly for you. If you end up in temp housing, at least it'll be during the pretty time of the year, and you'll have plenty of daylight to get set up.

 

Good luck in your new job :)

I still have to get the details of shipping my car worked out.  I'll take all of the good luck I can for that to happen correctly!

 

Working on adding filters to my Gmail so I can have it self sort new messages into specialized folders while I'm away from the computer for the long period. (That will also automatically send message of requests to approve new files into my Trash as I'm sure plenty of new ones will be created while I'm away.)

That is a hell of a leap to be making man! :D

 

I've heard Alaska can be just beautiful at certain times of the year, depending on where you are. Where my dad was at one summer was more just slush and snow, I think.

 

Congrats on the new job, by the way. Would it be too much to ask what the new job is?

Congrats and good luck with the big adventure! Not sure what we're going to do w/o your weekly avatar updates ;)

Your droid request came in just as I was ramping up on a protocol droid reskin. I am hoping to do all the droids eventually so maybe I'll switch gears and have a housewarming present for you by the time you're set up again.

Exciting times! I remember when you made the trek from West coast to East. Great life experiences. Is it an open ended position or do you have an expected number of years you'll be there? Either way, congrats!

It's 140PM now. Since 11, the movers have been packing stuff up. My computers are now in cardboard boxes.

 

Sad realization: I have so much crap.

Hope you have a pleasant and safe time getting adjusted to the new locales. You have always been quite the pillar of this online community, and hope to see you back soon. ;) If you need anything, feel free to ask.

STATUS UPDATE AS OF 12AUG2016

Internet: Activated! That's actually earlier than originally announced or expected. (About a few days ago)
 
Arrival of computer (and other household goods): Approximately September 3rd
 
What This Means For You: I'm checking in occasionally on my cell phone on an island that historically has always had bad cell phone service. I don't have my all of my links on my smartphone and can't really do easy copy and pastes on it either. (Oh I'm certain that there's a way to do the copy and pasting on my phone, mind you - but with everything else going on IRL here, it's extremely low on my priority list.)
 
Current Verdict: I'm not back yet. :(

STATUS UPDATE AS OF 18AUG2016

My previous updates stand with the following exceptions:

 

Transportation: My car arrived on the island yesterday.  I am able to pick it up today!  Woot!
 
Current Verdict: I'm not back yet. :(

 

PS: Just because you see me posting, it doesn't quite mean I'm back.  I'm doing so on my smart-phone (which has limited reception) or occasionally on my wife's laptop (which I loathe).

STATUS UPDATE AS OF 30AUG2016

My previous updates stand - I still don't have my desktop computer.  Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
 
Current Verdict: I'm still not back yet. :(

STATUS UPDATE AS OF 31 AUG 2016

Today, my household goods arrived.  All 110 boxes of them. (Yes, you read that correctly.)

Going through all of those boxes is going to take some time, as you might imagine. I've found my monitor and the tower so far but not the rest of the cords yet. The rest will turn up later, I'm sure

But all is not well in Casa de Sith Holocron!  My computer desk is trashed. It is beyond repair and so I'll need to get a new one. This irritates me quite a bit. You see: when I do a move, I usually set up my computer first then unpack everything else.  This is throwing me off my schedule plus there's the little matter of everything costing more here in Kodiak because of the outrageous shipping fees.  Wish me luck in getting this all sorted out!
