I'm a software developer living in Midtown, Atlanta. I wrote the MetaForum software in 2004. More recently I've been doing Ruby on Rails development for a startup named Vitrue. I also maintain the Forum Atlanta messageboard. Feel free to stop by and say hello!

Guess I’ll stick around for a bit

A couple weeks ago I closed on a place in Plaza Midtown.  Yay for owning property, I suppose if this was the 1800’s, now I’d finally be able to vote!

Penthouse 20th floor of the building, 14′ ceilings, granite/stainless/hardwoods, floor to ceiling windows, etc.  Only a few years old.

I still really don’t relish the idea of paying 4.8% interest on hundreds of thousands of dollars… but I imagine the bottom of the worst real estate crash in my lifetime is probably the best time to buy, plus the tax credit, plus interest rates are at an all time low.  I’m still getting moved in, but I like it.

The view is probably my favorite part.

So yeah.  Guess I won’t be moving for a while … which is fine with me.  Hate moving.
