Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.It seems that I've been paying off the future at work and paying off now here on the blog. My apologies.

Truthfully, though, it has been hectic at work. Between trying to get our software updated and ready for a new release and taking care of customers, I haven't had time to do much of anything. And then when I'm at home on the computer, I'd really rather surf or play poker.
It's not like I haven't had anything to write about. We had another ultrasound (of the 3-D variety) and the baby weighed 3 pounds, 2 ounces. Getting to see the face, however blurry and orange, was just amazing. I'm really looking for Leila to give birth sometime around mid to late May, even though her "official" due date is June 5. I just don't think the doctors will let her go that far, not at the rate the baby's growing. But the baby's healthy, which is the most important thing, and the sex is still a mystery. Just the way we want it.
I have a few things in mind for the future. I'm planning to cut back on the poker so I can get into some other things that need doing. I need to get the house straightened up before baby arrives, and I really want to get the garage cleaned out. It would be nice to actually be able to use it for something other than a dumping ground.
I have some web work that I want to do. I want to work on our family site, which will include this blog, but at a different address. I want to work on some other web projects which have been stewing in my mind for a couple of years. Specifically, I'd love to get started on creating my on-line aircraft building log and my online pilot's log-book. These will probably be parts of the same site, so it'll be a little different than the online logs out there now.
I'd also love to write a multi-user image gallery in PHP, since the only one I've found that I really like is written in Perl. I'm not a huge fan of Gallery, the standard PHP gallery script. It's clunky, and not truly multi-user. It's more like "any-user", and what I want is a script that has secure accounts for upload, so you have to be a member to add to a gallery. As a member you would have your own gallery space, just like in the Album.pl script I'm using for KN members.
I really don't know where I'm going to find the time to do all of this, but the family site is my first priority. The family is getting bigger, and I want to share it with everyone.
