On hirings and movings

Ein­stein was right, time is relative…

It’s been a little more than three weeks since I was given a job offer to work for The Atlanta Journal-​Constitution, in that time I’ve:

  1. Accepted the job offer
  2. Set up to move to Atlanta
  3. Defended my thesis
  4. Moved to Atlanta to a tem­po­rary apartment
  5. Looked for an apartment
  6. Found an apartment
  7. Moved the stuff the movers had into the apartment
  8. Moved some of the stuff our par­ents had into the apartment
  9. I’ve been work­ing at the AJC since the 18th

So while my life has been moving at near rel­a­tivis­tic speeds, to an out­side observer, nearly three weeks has passed, but for me, it’s seemed like maybe a few days.

I’m cur­rently on a dial-​up account until my broad­band is installed, so please pardon the delay between posts until then.

But expect a post in the near future look­ing at news sites’ per­for­mances on dial-up…

    please, go ahead and get the site’s per­for­mance on dialup to work better, then tell them to fix our per­for­mance in Austin to be better on dialup … we need some smart folks in Atlanta direct­ing the design of our sites… Next time I’m in Atlanta, I’ll try to come say hi to you guys… Con­grats on the new job, and wel­come to Cox.
