December this year had two stories. The first was my move to a new apartment. The second was the construction of my first ever home-built PC. If you like pictures of boxes and the insides of computers, then this is the post for you.<\/p>\n

Policies and Procedures<\/h2>\n

Last month I should have written something about my new job, but I appear to have forgotten. It is a pretty standard technical writing job. I work for the IT security department and have to document IT policies and procedures so that we can comply with various sets of regulations. My boss is very laid back and my coworkers are friendly. I doubt there will be many dramatic stories, but it is a decent, steady job.<\/p>\n

Move On<\/h2>\n

On the first weekend of December I moved into a new apartment. A moving company did all the heavy lifting and my mom and her best friend did an amazing job of setting up my kitchen. I mostly directed people on where to stack my many boxes.<\/p>\n

As predicted, my commute is much shorter. The garage is great for reducing the annoyance of Ohio winters. The apartment is more than big enough to hold all of my stuff. It will take a long time to unpack all of my boxes, but I got the “computer corner” set up, and that is enough for now.<\/p>\n

Evil Triumphs<\/h2>\n

One of the advantages of my apartment is that it is 45 minutes closer to my friends in Ann Arbor. I wanted to get out for a visit before the predicted snows fell, I headed North the weekend after my move, The food and conversation were as good as always. Jim and I failed to save the world from annihilation in the board game Eldritch Horror. Then I failed to save Europe from Jim’s vampiric dominance in Fury of Dracula.<\/p>\n

It’s Alive!<\/h2>\n

Ever since I bought my first PC in 1989 I have wanted to build my own. I intended to build one while I lived in Japan because my favorite stomping grounds, Akihabara, was full of PC parts stores. But I was never able to spend the money or dedicated the time.<\/p>\n

During the months leading up to my move, I diligently researched all of the latest hardware and created a plan using www.tomshardware.com\/ and http:\/\/pcpartpicker.com\/. Soon after moving, I ordered all the parts on-line and they arrived in a myriad of boxes. Added to all the boxes from my move, I could barely move through the apartment for about a week.<\/p>\n

Because the prices of PCs have dropped so much in the last few years, and because of all hard work required, I do not think I would build an other PC. However, I am glad I did it once. I feel like I earned a geek-badge I should have gotten years ago.<\/p>\n

I nearly forgot! I spent Christmas Day at my sister’s house with her family and my mom. It being our first Christmas without my father, I felt a little sad most of the day.
