| 7:45 am | Notes on travelling to the Aberddu event Found a pretty good option from Montreal to London that'll only cost £600 - now I just need to find a way to actually pay for it :/ Current Mood:  depressed |

| 9:35 am | Moving progress My documents are all sorted! For now, at least. Most of the tasks I have left to do involve getting our stuff ready for transport - separating out the bits we need between now and moving, the bits which can be packed, and the bits which can be given away or sold, and cataloging all of the things for the moving company and for customs. Of course, I'm still working as well, which means that I've got to keep up with the very short-scale project I'm on. It's all pretty tight deadlines, but the schedule was really solid - until somehow it came back from our studio manager with 3 weeks to do the first milestone instead of four! I'm really not sure what happened there, but I guess it'll be ok - it just makes it a lot less fun :/ Current Mood:  cheerful |

| 11:22 pm | Some of the to-do done So I've at least got most of the documents that I needed to send to Canada sent - now it's just my passport, Hazel's passport, and all the other gubbins. Also, Dr. President has a new home lined up for him with Alex, so that's a weight off our minds. We're pretty confident they'll get on just fine :) |

| 9:21 am | So much to do! Ok, so now that I've got a job in Canada, whilst they are very kindly handling some of the huge hassles of moving, I/we have a BILLION THINGS to do: Ahem. Sorry about that. Off to call my Dad and eat some breakfast. |

I'm really looking forward to working on the [top secret, don't ask] project they have lined up! In response to inevitable questions: That's all for now. I may or may not have time to have some kind of leaving party, so I'll keep you all up to date. |

| 10:34 am | Domain registration I'm thinking of starting a new website to document the games work I'm starting to do in my downtime. Exciting times! I was wondering if other techy types had any recommendations for which of the (1<<64) domain registration companies are worth using? Good for price, reliability, service? Not likely to sell your domain without checking with you first? That kind of thing. |
