Almost all of my worldly posessions

…packed away on the side of my room.

It’s been an interesting week. I’m horribly disorganized in real life, so just getting to this point has been quite a lot of work. I got my two dressers, my fridge and my microwave moved out yesterday. Now I’ve just got the dresser drawers, my couch and a couple other things left to go.

Beside moving things, I’ve also been making a lot of visits to friends and family that I’m going to be leaving behind. That’s filled my week up a bit as well. I’m hoping to get all of the work done for the site by tomorrow, because my main computer and my server are going to be packed away and I’ll have limited resources to make updates with. I’ve set up an account on flickr to share the photos of my trip. I’ve got a gallery on my main site, but I really wanted to take advantage of the social networking capabilities of flickr and to become more of a part of the community.

All in all, things are going very well. Pretty much everything is set to go and I’m really looking forward to the trip.

I’ve finally done it, I set up a blog and a photo gallery for a visible record of my journey out west. If all goes well, I’ll be blogging and uploading new photos every few days once I get on the road. I’m also hoping to get into the Google Maps API a bit and set up a map that will track my progress accross the country. I originally wanted to do this in real time, but it’s just too expensive to set up the internet access needed. Whenever I can get to a hotspot, though, it should update my position.

That’s about it for now, but there should be more to come soon.
