Boston and Russia, here I come
Dear all, I'm going to Boston and then Russia! These last few weeks and the next few have been and are going to be a bit hectic for me. I've got the plane tickets, the passport, the laptop, Jimbo's blessing(Continue reading), money saved, and the visa is on its way. I have much else to get ready, of course. So if I seem a bit slow in replying and short in my replies, that might explain it. (Another explanation I guiltily admit is that I have been helping Wikipedia along. But I have been vowing to spend more time on the more important project, viz., Nupedia, now that Wikipedia really is moving along wonderfully.) From April 18 until the 26th I'll be in Boston visiting a pal of mine and playing music. Of course, since I work online, I will be able to take my new laptop and work there as usual without missing a beat. If anyone's there who would like to get together, drop me an e-mail. (I still would like to meet with a few members who live here in Las Vegas, but the best-laid plans...) After that, I will be living in Izhevsk, Russia, an industrial city in the central-western part of European Russia, for an indefinite period of time, but probably about three months. My Russian language skills are sure to improve immensely. I've lived abroad before and I enjoy the experience. I don't expect any disruptions to my connection, and while I might be taking a few vacation days here and there, I generally should be able to continue on in my present role in pretty much the same way I always have.
