In Somerville, we had a three-floor house with basement. Now we have a one storey apartment. We used to have two offices and a spare room, now we have a combination office/spare room. Which will also hold my clothes, since we've got a smaller bedroom too.

In unrelated news, we'll be renting a storage locker shortly.

Windows password cracker. Has an interesting open-source business model: The cracker is GPL, and there are free (but limited) Rainbow tables. To get the full tables, you need to pay $99.
