I haven’t posted in a while, because life has been busy! Aside from all the usual work stuff, over the past few months I’ve been wrapping up some long-term personal goals in the form of buying a house. I’m very happy to announce that as of yesterday, I’m a homeowner. Huge success.

A couple years ago I set the goal for myself of buying a house “soon”, within the next couple years. This was a pretty arduous process that included monitoring my credit, saving money, and getting my professional life in a more stable place than where Lijit was at the time (which was the six of us in an office working very late nights trying to get the first iteration of our website out the door; and it did a totally different thing then from what it does now). We didn’t even know if we’d still be around in another year, so making a long term commitment, especially financially, was an iffy procedure.

Many people helped me throughout this process, answering my incessant (and probably, to them, very obvious) questions and listening to me being neurotic about pretty much everything. If you’re reading this blog post, you know who you are, and I thank you for being patient with me and helping me along.

Over the next month, the tumult from buying and moving should die down, and I hope to start posting more then; but if history has shown me anything, it’s not to hold your breath for the next post. I do have some things I wanted to blog about - new product impressions, various game stuff, and techie things - but somehow working with blogs and bloggers all day makes it difficult to contribute to my own blog outside of work. I’ll do my best.
