The First Day of the Rest Of My Life

... was yesterday. I now understand why men strive to make the world a better place -- if only to have our sons and daughters have the chance to experience a better life than what we've been able to experience ourselves. The first time I laid eyes on my daughter I knew my existence is validated. Now my life is dedicated to being the best person I can be for my family's future and prosperity. It's a beautiful day.

Today though, that changes and for the most part I'm almost going to take back what I wrote yesterday. Read more by clicking on the title.

Open Source Weekends

It's no secret that I'm an open source software enthusiast. I'm also an open source developer. I love open source software and writing libraries that people use because they solve specific problems worth solving. I also love my weekends. And apparently, the combination of rest, relaxation, open source programming, and getting things done on the weekend is a good combination to have. Two open source projects of mine got some love from me this past weekend and the product has been one open source project release (followed by another quick release) and another just getting more done as the time went by.
