Ana's HS letter came in!

[conuly]

She got her second choice school, which is a good, solid option - we're all pretty happy. Oooh, we've gotta go celebrate!

Congrats!

Yay! Congrats to her and you ( that is if you want congrats from from random-internet-people, I dunno ;) ) for getting into a good school!

Now you just have to do it all over again in a few years for colleges...

[conuly]

Congrats are always appreciated :)

For college, there's at least a 50% chance she'll just do CUNY, so yeah.

Congratulations to her!

WHOOHOO!

[conuly]

*squints*

What the heck is going on with your IP addy there?

[goss]

That's great! Congratulations! :)

[gingicat]

Hurray!

[silver_chipmunk]

Um, I don't know. Is something odd going on with it?

[conuly]

Well, this is my IP address: 74.71.155.44

That's fairly typical.

Here is yours: 2604:2000:b905:c600:a9e0:f581:3b79:b34a

[silver_chipmunk]

OK, that is weird. I have no idea.

[pne]

That's an IPv6 address; yours is an IPv4 address.

Looks like silver_chipmunk (or their ISP) has gone with the times.

IPv6 is supposed to be the future... unfortunately, for many people, it's been the future for quite a number of years now and still doesn't seem to have reached a sizeable proportion of users.

[conuly]

Thank you for that explanation!

And how are you? Feels like I haven't seen you around in forever.

[pne]

Yes, you probably haven't -- I haven't been around much.

An old LJ acquaintance of mine announced elsewhere a while back that she would be taking up journalling again, on Dreamwidth, which reminded me of here. I'm not sure yet whether I'll get back into the habit again but I do miss it sometimes.

Stella and Amy moved out three weeks ago and we're working towards a divorce. Job is still the same, programming; currently sole Java developer on a big old codebase, which is tricky as I don't know it well and have few people to ask so it's a lot of looking into other people's code.

How are you?

Also, I can't believe Ana is in high school. She's six, isn't she? :)

[conuly]

I'm sorry about the divorce, but sometimes things don't work out.

As for me, well... we got a new dog. Then we got another new dog, accidentally. My grandmother died this summer, and a week later my mother found out she had breast cancer, but the prognosis is excellent. (Our schoolwork, however, is just a tad bit behind where I'd like. Going to chemo with my mom did a number on that.) I, too, am stunned and amazed at how old the girls are and keep expecting them to be little.

Woohoo, excellent news; congratulations to her!

[conuly]

Thanks, I'll pass it along :)

This school might actually be better for her than her first choice school - it has all the things she liked about that school, but a commute time that's 15 minutes shorter (and no 5 flight hike of stairs!) and a slightly later start time.

[dandelion.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! It makes such a difference to go to the school you want.

[conuly]

Yes. I'm sure she'll both be happy and learn a lot here.
