Dear Readers
I’m sorry about the quietness here over the last couple of weeks. It’s one of those times in my life when real-life events are superseding a lot of my time online. Damn you, real life, damn you to hell! To be more specific, I’d been searching for a new job as my current job’s contract is ending, and I found one, so I’ve been trying to wrap things up at my now old job ā my last day was yesterday. In the mean time, me an my wife are expecting and we’re starting to approach the home stretch. With that comes lots of business with juggling decisions about birth attendants, pediatricians, and childcare providers, as well as taking childbirth classes, figuring out what we need to buy (or ask for) for the baby, etc., etc. I wish I could tell you there is a light at the end of the tunnel, but that light seems like it might be a ways off. My new job will require me to learn some new programming skills, and my old job wants me to come in on my “spare time” at least until the contract is officially over in a couple of weeks to finish a couple of projects. And then of course there’s the baby, which will probably preoccupy most of my free time once she arrives! But, I will at least try to steal 20 minutes here and there and post something interesting. Indeed, I may look into ways of posting quick links and very short comments, since that should be a lot faster. I fear my days of the epic-long treatises may be behind me ā at least for a while!
