Life decisions

[kingandy]

I am currently trying to decide whether to move into bacony's spare room or remain chez stsquad. It is a tricky decision.

To this end I spent the night at Katy's place, in order to check out the commute. My findings suggest that though the drive is perhaps technically more direct, it does go through Stockport and the traffic in Stockport in the morning does not move above 10mph. (Luckily I set off half an hour earlier than usual, so was only five minutes late for work.) However, I think I could speed things up by driving past Stockport on the M60 and proceeding down the A34 as usual.

Here is a summary of the pros of each:

Katy	Alex
House is finished	Gigant-o-vision
Lower rent	Commute does not go through Stockport
Meals thrown in	Does not require effort of moving
Quieter road	Superfast broadband[1]
Cheap, regular, punctual buses	Trams run late into the night
Katy	Alex

Thus my dilemma. I'm not sure on the relative dimensions of the rooms - Katy's is wider than Alex's but not so long, but I think I'd have a little more effective space (if only because there's a chunk of dead space in my room at Alex's filled with stuff I've been meaning to throw out for a while now).

I'm leaning towards the move, but remain very much torn.

[1] Also IMAP access to Alex's email server, which is unavailable from outside the house network - it's Webmail or nothing.

Width, in my experience, is better than length. (Oh do stop sniggering).

I'm relatively certain that theprince will get a superfast broadband connection so that he can continue to feed his warcrack habit =)

What you need is one of those pendulums with three magnets underneath, which work as chaotic systems. Mark one magnet with "Katy" and one with "Alex" and let the pendulum decide. Of course, that leaves a third option, which you should mark with "give all my worldly goods to Marcus and go live like a wolf in the wild".

M60 Stockport

You cannot speed things up by going on the M60 past Stockport. It is a car park. Every morning. They always tell me so on the trafic updates. And they have lowered the speed limit to 50mph, and are enforcing it with digital cameras.

You do realise you can sort out IMAP access with a little tunneled ssh?

Katy's house comes with Vince of course. This means that as the guy-who-lives-in-the-spare-room you are the one most likely to be offed by SMERSH goons when he fails to co-operate with the Enemy.

Plus you might end up having to share the spare room with baby Vaty when it inevitably arrives, and the crying is likely to keep you awake at night.
