Just found out I'm now on unpaid leave. This isn't the kind of news I wanted the day before my son is born. I'm urgently in need of work.

If you know anyone who's looking for a WebObjects, Cocoa, Frontier, Java or VB developer, please pass them the URL to my resume:

Thanks so much!

I'm going to the optometrist later this morning. I need a new prescription. I can't wait to get my new lenses... it's very uncomfortable for me to have any blur in my vision.

(I had 20/15 vision before it started to deteriorate)

We saw the OB GYN yesterday. We got the result we were hoping for, they've agreed to either induce Cheryl, or allow an elective C-section.

This baby is really big, and in particular we're told his head is BIG. :) Cheryl had trouble birthing Cyan, her shoulders got stuck and the cord was wrapped around her neck, she was ghostly-white and wasn't crying when she was born, from the distress. Cheryl had a retained placenta and nearly bled to death. Her hemoglobin count was in the 50s.

All of these things made us not looking forward to another natural birth where there was a real chance of a dangerous incident. We've decided to go with an elective C-section. Hopefully it will be ASAP. That will probably translate into Thursday or Friday. (we thought they were going to induce her last weekend but it didn't happen)

I can't wait! ;-)

Well I need a new prescription, as I expected. Also, the Dr. said that my eyes track slightly differently; the left tracks higher than the right... he said, this might make it difficult to read spreadsheets because I'd lose the row as I look across the screen/page, and, it could make reading difficult.

(cue fireworks, lightbulbs bursting, applause, 21 gun salute!)

I asked, "Is this why I have so much trouble reading novels? Whenever I read a novel, I'm always accidentally reading the same sentence twice, and I have trouble keeping my concentration because I'm working so hard just to keep my place on the page..."

He said, "Exactly. A few days after you wear these lenses, you should have no problems reading anymore."

WOO HOO!

You might want to buy some stock in book publishers soon. ;-)

I've made a minor UI change on the home page. Not sure if I like it yet or not.

Please let me know if you don't like this as much as the old design, or if you definitely prefer this design.

Thanks!

Just read that Blogger Pro will have a Title (Subject) field. Finally! Hopefully this will be added to the Blogger API and Conversant (and Radio) will adopt that field for Blogger API posts.

If that ever happens, I'll consider posting to my weblog(s) via Blogger API, probably using Radio. Until then, I think it's a showstopper and the Blogger API bridge to Conversant (through Radio or any client) is a no-go for me.
