How's the move preparation going?

It's been very quiet around here without your Electron prodding. :-)
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...

Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.

Well, we get to see the finished house tomorrow afternoon when we have our 'New house demonstration'.

II suppose it's like 'This is a room, this is another room....'

All things being equal, we complete on Tuesday 29th. So I expect we'll aim to move in by the weekend, though our main delivery of belongings won't be until the 5th. I guess we'll see how it pans out.

Super stressed out now, not just because of the move and the worry of a last minute hitch, but due to some other family related stuff going on.

Once I'm unpacked I can get my new workbench area set up and the Electron prodding can resume, along with prodding of some other delayed projects.

They say that moving is the second most stressful thing you can do in your life. Adding family things only makes things worse.
