On April 28 I close on both places, which means I have to be out of here on that day and it’s also the earliest I can move into the new place.
So I’ll have to have the movers come here in the morning, get everything out and hold it for a few hours while I go to the realtor’s office for both closings, and then move into the new place.
This is so not going to be fun.

Once again the condo board here made me glad I’m leaving. They put up a notice about an emergency meeting Saturday to discuss:
Even though they’re not the majority here, a certain group of elderly folks hold all the power in the association.
I got the papers for my new place. I didn’t realize they have two pools – the second one is near the back and is much smaller. There’s also a gym and tennis court.
I won’t close until the end of next month because they only have screening once a month and it’s too late for this month. They move pretty slowly on processing applications there.
I’ve renamed the ‘Liberty’ topic to ‘Politics’ since I use it to discuss politics in general.
There has been recent discussion on various Mac sites whether politics should be discussed. I chose to keep politics off MacMegasite completely and instead use this personal weblog to discuss politics.
I’m a Libertarian. I believe in personal freedom and that the government shouldn’t meddle in personal issues such as religion & morality. I tend to criticize the Republicans a lot becuase I feel that they’re much worse hypocrites than anyone else. They talk about freedom and less government, but they’re always quick to jump on religious & moral issues such as abortion.
I don’t care much for religion, and I don’t like to hear the government talking about God all the time. I also believe what a woman does with her own body is her personal decision. The government shouldn’t have anything to do with it. Anything consenting adults do in the privacy of their own home should be none of the government’s business.
Now, about the war.
I don’t believe the US should be the world’s police force. That’s what the UN is for. We shouldn’t go alone against the UN and the rest of the world, and starting a war by launching a preemptive strike against another country is just plain wrong.
Sadam Hussein is a brutal dictator, but he’s not the only one and he doesn’t pose any direct threat to us. He has no intention of attacking us or anyone else unprovoked. Attacking him will only make things much worse by encouraging more terrorism. Our government even realizes that, as they indicated by raising our security level to orange.
Sadam Hussein isn’t the only brutal dictator in the world – there are plenty of others just as bad or worse. North Korea poses a much more serious threat to the US, but Bush doesn’t seem too concerned about them.
Why didn’t the US intervene in Zaire during Mobuto Sese Seke’s regime? Why didn’t we attempt to stop dictators in Nigeria, Liberia, and Sierra Leone?
It’s clear this is nothing more than a personal grudge against Hussein.
The realtor heard from the seller & I got the unit I want! I’m moving to the Embarcadero!
I sold my place for $99,000 (which was less than I was asking, but I still made $14,000 on this place after only a year). The new one is $95,000 and I now qualify for a much lower mortgage rate. I now have a much nicer place that’s costing me less.
It looks like this is going to be a repeat of the last time I tried to buy a unit in the Embarcadero. I have an offer on that unit, but the seller can’t be contacted.
What is it with everyone there? Are they all flakes?

Maciej fixed the infamous cookie bug last night, so PHP-Nuke sites will now work properly. Quoting Maciej:
I have a fix for the infamous PHP-Nuke login bug. It should be in the next release. Here’s the short version: the Netscape cookie spec says when a cookie comes from a URL like “http://www.foo.com/user.php” and no path is explicitly specified, then the path should default to “/user.php”. However, it actually needs to default to “/”, because that’s what all real browsers do. Don’t you love the web?
Another bug bites the dust! 🙂
