the rowan lofts are having an auction on february 8, 2009 to try and get enough units sold so that they don’t have to follow the path of some other recent developments and open as a rental property. this article in the downtown news has a bit more of the details.

i am starting to get the itch to own instead of rent. the place we are in now is feeling very temporary, and that hasn’t helped motivate us to unpack everything.

unfortunately, most of what we would have for a down payment is currently tied up in paint, canvas, brushes, and other art supplies.

there would be something to ending up back at 5th and spring.

i spent a few hours adding a real submission page to blog-la-sphere, to help streamline the process of blogs getting added. and so i could shut down another email address that was mostly a spam magnet.

you can’t see it now, but there will be a list in the top of the middle column showing any blogs that have been added within the last week. the middle column also shows posts from the last 24 hours, rather than posts from the last month and a half.

finally, i dialed down the frequency that sites are checked for updates if they haven’t updated recently. if a blog hasn’t been updated in more than a week, it will now only get checked daily. if it has been more than three months, it will only get checked once a week.
