Moved House, Again

Having come to Scotland a bit more than a year ago, I have just completed my third house move - that's about one move every 4.5 months. The first - temporary - place I was staying at was beautiful, but my room lacked windows and I only had 30 seconds worth of hot water in the morning. The second place lacked essentials like a dining table near a window and was rather cold in winter, but at least it had cute turtoises in the backyard. The third apartment was in cool and convenient neighborhood, but too bad I didn't check the (nightly) noise and dirt levels thoroughly before moving in. My new place is great - my new roommates have promised to eat my food, and maybe I'll learn some Greek!

Following the 12-month tradition of my writing, I would now proceed to go on with a rant about the annoying housing situation in Edinburgh, the UK's second most expensive city to rent or buy a place in. But somehow I'm fed up with thinking about property and mortgages, tenancy contracts and applying-for-a-flatmate-position interviews.

Instead, I'm busy releasing Aquamacs 0.9.7, the most versatile yet user-friendly text and code editor on the Mac...

You find that boring? Naw. Look at this guy if you'd like to do know about something boring. He managed to fly a million miles on a flat-rate ticket with Air Canada, just to get $70.000 worth of tickets. At least he met some interesting people on the way, he claims. But the crazy thing is, he flies cargo in a 747 around the world for a living. Can't get enough, eh? Oh Heck.
