New blood

January 12th, 2007 at 07:59am David Bush - Iasta

In my ongoing effort to advance my quest for world domination, I will be out next week on paternity leave. I am not sure how my wife talked me in to this again, but Monday I will be trading in my life of semi-consistent sleep and relative predictability for inconsolable fussiness, insatiable hunger, tantrums and general loss of faculties…and I am referring to myself. Hopefully by Monday morning, we will have some names agreed upon, but I am not holding my breath. But seriously, I am really looking forward to it, adding #2 is just getting me that much closer to efficient chore distribution and modern indentured servitude.

How does this affect ESF?

I have been trying to get a nice group of diverse posts lined up from outside writers to fill in the week. I think it will be a refreshing change for the blog and I am sure many are getting tired of me any way. Look for some quality content from many industry experts that I am lucky enough to consider friends.

    Dave, in my experience N children create 2^N times as much work, so child #2 is always a shock to the home ecosystem (e.g. “we can’t believe how easy it used to be with one”).

    You might want to consult Michael Lamoureux to see if there are any tricks you can use to reduce the problem to polynomial complexity.

    That’s great! The world needs more sourcing experts! Can’t wait until your new offspring launches her own blog: “E-Sourcing Kids Forum.”

    Congrats!

    Thanks for the comments, guys. Eric, you ruined my weekend, thanks! ;) Tim, interesting idea, but then I will run the risk of exposing the fact that my 2 year old is already smarter than me. Doh!
