As of this week, I'm no longer a freelance developer. Who wants to run their own billing department? Certainly not me. I had a hard enough time filling out expense reports...doing my IRS Form 2210 again this last quarter kinda sealed the deal for me. I have a new full-time job, working for Linden Lab,… Continue reading Enough of this silly freelance stuff
Rolly Polly
Early (waaaaay too early) this morning Hazel rolled over on her own for the first time. She was in her crib, fussing, hungry and kicking and managed to lever herself over to her stomach. I put her on her back and she did it again. We haven't tried it with a happy, non-fussy baby but… Continue reading Rolly Polly
Heh, scooping the West Seattle Blog
I've recently become a big fan of the West Seattle Blog, not just because I live in West Seattle. The author is very purposefully anonymous, but is clearly from around here. Why do I know? Well, because we seem to all share this small city obsession with new retail that comes to the area. I… Continue reading Heh, scooping the West Seattle Blog
Toy Porn and 10 lb baby
Hazel continues to gain weight tho' at a slightly slower pace since we stopped the butter injection treatments. Last week was her 2 month checkup and a round of shots. Oh that was fun - 2 shots in each leg. Good thing she didn't see the size of the needles before she got stuck or… Continue reading Toy Porn and 10 lb baby
Wikimania
I'm off to Boston, to be among fellow nerds at Wikimania, where I'm hosting a discussion about enterprise use of MediaWiki, as well as hanging around beforehand for Hacking Days. We'll see what sort of attendance there is for my session; there's a lot of parallel tracks at this thing. I'm hoping to figure out… Continue reading Wikimania
Hazel’s Five State tour
Hazel got through her first plane ride just fine. Actually, we were more worried about us than her. Anyway, we managed to make it to five states: Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, and a token drive over to Indiana so that we could say we were there. Lots of pictures taken by all, especially at my… Continue reading Hazel’s Five State tour
Comments from the Wife: (Life – Sleep) + Stress = Life with baby
Things keep rolling along here in the Lanphier house. I miss having the grandparents around to help with stuff like dishes and laundry - may just have to hire a maid. It's odd to find myself thinking that because when the idea first came up a few years ago I was adamantly opposed to having… Continue reading Comments from the Wife: (Life – Sleep) + Stress = Life with baby
Roundabout Retardedness
We went out on a walk with Hazel today. On our way, we walked by a recently installed roundabout. In case we were under any illusion that we live in Europe, watching people try to navigate this thing will swiftly dispel those illusions. Left turns are fun to watch. After an awkward hesitation, most drivers… Continue reading Roundabout Retardedness
Update from MargL-Mommy
Finally updated the photo gallery with some new photos. http://photos.robla.net/gallery/v/2006/ The Grandparents (MargL's mom and Rob's parents) have arrived and quickly got to work cleaning and sorting and building things. Aunt Dawn and Uncle Mike brought by some fixin's for sandwiches and salads so we didn't have to cook (yay!). Not that I've avoided cooking… Continue reading Update from MargL-Mommy
We’re all home now
We got to check out of the hospital yesterday and head home. Everyone is doing well...Margaret and Hazel are sleeping, and this is the first time I've mustered the energy to get back in front of the computer since being home. Some more details below the fold... Margaret started going into serious labor at about… Continue reading We’re all home now
