Moving again

About a month ago I got a note under my door from the landlord saying that everyone had to be out of the apartment building by August 31st. The reason? They are turning this 30 year old building into “luxury condos”. So I’ll be moving at the end of July, choosing not to wait until August so I can stay ahead of the University rush. In the meantime I’ll continue to live in this building of limbo, under renovations. I’ll be somewhere in between affordable student housing and fancy rag-dabbed walls, chandeliers, huge entry paintings, and thick like your thumb baseboards.

I’d like to move to a single bedroom place, but I’m also attracted to the low rent/roomates option. Wherever it may be, it needs to have a balcony or back yard for my BBQ.

Hearing Test

Here is a site that has a bunch of mp3s of different frequencies. You can use these to determine your audible frequency threshold. With my desktop speakers I was able to hear up to 17 000 Hz. Putting on my headphones allowed me to hear up to 23 000 Hz.

Upgrade

I just upgraded my blogging software Wordpress to the latest version.  I hadn’t upgraded through the last few releases since I couldn’t be bothered.  The new version has cool features like category modification on the fly.  It was really easy to upgrade, the hardest part was copying over the new files… but that more tedious than hard… and all that involves is a single click and drag.

In other news Peter and I ran the stairs on the river valley for an hour yesterday.  These are the stairs you can see from the LRT bridge, on the west side of the high level, north side of the river.  There were a few others doing the same thing, including this one guy with huge thighs.  He looked really weird, like it was the only exercise he ever did.
