Been quiet lately

Yeah, I've been pretty quiet lately.  In the home life, my wife is now 13 weeks pregnant, we got to listen to the heartbeat the other day which was pretty cool.  When I think about all the genetic “code” that runs when a life is made... wow.  Can you imagine trying to code a system as complex as a life form like a human being?  Now imagine coding millions of life forms, and an ecosystem that harmoniously supports them all.  Plus a universe to put them in.  Humbling though really...

Anyway, beside those musing, I'm currently involved in planning a major ASP .NET project for a retailer in the top 50 of the fortune 500.  So that's cool to be working on and I can tell you, their current system is very outdated and their world is going to be 100000x better when we're through with it.  Plus I'm involved with a fairly simple savings calculator for a local transport company and a web based customer survey for the same company.

I've been neglecting my open source trainer application.  We're currently reviewing the database and no one seems to have many gripes with it so I'm going to try really hard to get people going on some data access code next week.

Oh, I'm also learning to use Paint Shop Pro.  Long have I feared graphic design, but I really need to get over that and learn a new skill so my websites can look sharper.

Congratualtions! I became a father two months ago and life is great! Doesn't that heart beat sound just like a train rushing down the tracks? Try to have a ultrasound done soon and repeat it a couple of time troughout the pregancy, its amazing to have your child grows!
