Pre-birth nerves

The big day is getting closer! Only a month or two to go and I'll be the proud father of another child.

You'd think after being through this twice before the nerves would go - well - they're back with a vengence.

I'm going to have to make the most of being able to sleep through the night - as once the new child arrives I get the feeling that is going to stop for another year or so (aargh!) - as well as getting back to changing nappies (no!), vomit (please!) and teething (mummy!).

On the other hand I've got another chance to see all those amazing firsts, such as the first steps, the first word, first time he (or she) says "Daddy" and so on.

So set your calendars for the second week in October (which is much closer than you'd imagine) and hope the world is ready for DanO v3!

Time to blog

Some of you may have noticed (those of you who aren't just popping to read the piece on i.ytimg.com) that things have been quiet here of late, and may be wondering why.

Well, there are a couple of reasons.

Firstly, my wife is pregnant with our third child - this takes priority over everything else.

Second, work has been VERY busy, as we are in the middle of upgrading to a new centralised advertising system, so I've not got a lot of time during the day.

So between looking after my wife, children, work, housework, gardening and trying to fit in a little bit of programming it isn't leaving a lot of time left for blogging at the moment.

Quiet in here, isn't it?

Regular readers (hello both of you) have probably been wondering why things have been so quiet here (and pretty silent on the Dan's Remakes site too).

Well, the curse of the hobbyist known as "Real Life" has been very much in evidence lately. After dealing with work and home, hobby stuff has had to take a very distant third place.

Well, there is light at the end of the tunnel, and after tomorrow things should be a bit more settled which should give me some time to get back into blogging, and programming too.

I'll also (hopefully) soon be back in the position where I have access to a Mac so I can compile some updates for MacOS X.
