Decided

[marcmagus]

I'm moving to Boston, where I'll be living with my friends mosephine and gaiaturtle along with a third person I haven't met. I move in on 1 September. Fortunately (for convenience, unfortunately for the wallet), I have until the end of September to move out of my apartment in Poughkeepsie.

Now that the housing thing is taken care of, it's time to move on to the income thing. Brushed up the resume (updated the address, mostly) then posted it to Monster last night, and have already gotten a couple of nibbles, although I'm not sure how serious they are. If anybody has any leads for software development in the Boston area, I'd love to hear about them.

Also, connections. I don't know that many people up that way. More gamers and fen to meet up with would be welcome. I feel like the circle of people I'm going to meet by spending time with my Vassar friends is missing something.

Sorry to all my friends in Washington, DC and New York that I won't be living near you. I'll try to visit on occasion.

You probably know more ppl up there than you realize.

Congrats on getting the living situation fixed! :) And good luck on the job finding.

Gabe Ganberg is in Boston (And has become *serious* about martial arts. You wouldn't recognize him). Frisbee Dave can put you in touch with him, if you'd like. He might also be doing computer stuff, not sure if he could be a useful network contact. Will ask D.

Also, Andy knows 2 HS folks who live in Boston. One is a programmer (and amateur photographer -- you might just get along), the other is doing some sort of science geekery, but is likely to know geeky programmy types for either job or friending purposes.

I am jealous that you will be hanging-distance from Crazy Uncle Dave.

Let me know if/when you want names and contact info and introductions. :)

*i'd* love to get in touch with Gabe ;)

[jhadania.livejournal.com]

I got your alum email from Marc -- I'll forward the info when Dave comes through :)

Welcome to the region. :)

I haven't been great about visiting people in Boston, but Providence is close. Maybe another friendly face up there will cause me to visit more often.

I've got a handful of contacts in the area - not in Boston proper, but around there - that work in front of glowy boxes. You know that's truly my extent of knowledge about them, but yeah.

Also, this means that I expect you to show up to Intercon G.

Well, bah on you for moving not to D.C, but at least Boston is a rediculously hoopy place.

Good luck!

Oh, wow-- Congratulations!

Neato! I suspect it will be less than 18 months until our next encounter, then :)

Finding a game in Boston is no problem :) Just check out unitygames.org and join the yahoo group. I also help run a sizable group in southern NH (groups.yahoo.com/group/6amgamers).

[marcmagus]

Hope so. I think it is your turn to come visit me now. ;)

[marcmagus]

As long as it doesn't conflict with Noncon VII, the odds of my going are good. And I'd appreciate the contacts, something is better than nothing.

[marcmagus]

It had better? ;)

It was probably going to be closer to 6 anyway. I had a great time at Procon the two times I went. If you or Dana give me any encouragement at all to go, and there isn't another annoying date conflict, I'd like to return; maybe even planning it more than a week in advance.

[marcmagus]

Sweet, thank you. We should try to get together sometime, too.

Congratulations and welcome! I'm happy to hear it. What neighborhood will you be in?

[uridium.livejournal.com]

Also, I know of one possible job lead, which I can email you about, but I don't have your email address. What's your address? If you'd rather email it than post it, my address is my initials (the middle initial is "p") @alum.mit.edu.

[tanglewoodtree.livejournal.com]

Definitely!
