Things like being woken up in the middle of the night by powerful oil fumes make me feel ready to get the hell out of nyc. If anyone has useful tips for dealing with a landlord agency in this regard, please advise (311 freaked and sent a fire truck last time; firemen didn’t want to turn off heat due to the boiler running ‘a little rich’).

I finally gave up the dream of creating my own super-slick CMS using Rails. Thank goodness for good, free stuff.
