The Verdict is in…
My fiancee has gotten the position in San Francisco. It’s a huge promotion for her and will mean more money for us (provided that I can find a software engineering job in the software engineering capital of the world). I’m sure that sounds like I’m justifying it, but it could mean a great promotion for me as well. If I had to choose, I wouldn’t be moving, so I have to get that out in the open. Given that the plan is to be out there for 2 years and then get back to Boston, […]

Sprint Billing “Error”
[While I’m still waiting to see if I’m moving to San Francisco…]
Back when I bought my Treo 700P, I had a feeling that somehow I’d be forced to give up my grandfathered $10 all-you-can-use data plan.

Up until about a week ago, it had never crossed my mind that I might ever live outside of the Boston suburbs. It’s funny how the best laid plans sometimes turn.

After all, San Francisco is largely the technology center of the US.
One thing that gets me is that we are both home owners in the area. With the falling market for selling, it […] -
Prosper Payment Late
Well, I guess I learned the first thing in my attempt to be a loan shark. If everyone was always paid back 100% of the time, I suppose everyone would do it. I haven’t lost my money yet, but one of my loans is 15 days late. I’ve heard that if they don’t make the first payment, there’s a good chance that it’s fraud. I’ll keep you updated on this, but it looks like I may have to fight for it.
