            <description>&lt;p&gt;Greetings…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have been much MIA lately, due to a retardedly hectic life right now.  I am changing jobs again, and have been dealing with the transition of doing as much as I can for my wife after 8 months of really being off my feet (for the most part). Turns out, she wasn’t faking being that pregnant.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;December 26 @ 9:00am!  Welcome Lillian Duvall!  A whopping &lt;strong&gt;9 lbs 15 oz!  21.5” long!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.taotekaching.com/images/www_taotekaching_com/WindowsLiveWriter/StuffandMe_1280A/lillian.jpg"&gt;&lt;img width="552" height="415" border="0" style="border-width: 0px; display: inline;" title="lillian" alt="lillian" src="http://www.taotekaching.com/images/www_taotekaching_com/WindowsLiveWriter/StuffandMe_1280A/lillian_thumb.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My wife (who’s tiny) ended up requiring a cesarean to get Lillian out.  As soon as I heard the cries of the baby (I was in there, but didn’t get to see the procedure, dammit!), one of the nurses said (and I am not kidding), “My god, she’s ginormous!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the programming / tech front, I have been playing around with &lt;a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb387098.aspx"&gt;LINQ to XML&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=142580"&gt;MS Chart Controls&lt;/a&gt;, as well as three of the Big N projects: &lt;a href="http://nlog-project.org/"&gt;NLog&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://nhforge.org"&gt;NHibernate&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://ndjango.org/"&gt;NDjango&lt;/a&gt;.  I am very much looking forward to &lt;a href="http://groups.google.com/group/subtext/browse_thread/thread/a26208130af258ab?hl=en"&gt;the next (upcoming?) Subtext release&lt;/a&gt;.  I also have a screensaver to get out for 2010.  Don’t you worry – I haven’t forgotten all of you fans of my screensavers!&lt;em&gt;&lt;font size="1" color="#0000ff"&gt;*&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So basically this is just a Link Post and reason for me to shamelessly show off my new daughter.  I’ll try to have something more interesting soon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;~ZagNut&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font size="1" color="#0000ff"&gt;*afaik, i have none…but my OCD requires I write another screensaver…&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font size="1" color="#0000ff" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;font size="1" color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;font size="1" color="#0000ff"&gt;  &lt;/font&gt; &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="1" color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;font size="1" color="#0000ff"&gt;  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
