As I mentioned in my previous post, I am extremely sorry for not taking the time to post some news here. I just can’t believe how incredibly busy the last couple of months have been. The first source of business has been all of my traveling. I have been to Detroit (4 times since September), Chicago, Phoenix, Houston and Orlando.

At home, we have been busy getting Évelyne’s big girl room ready and preparing her old room for Gabrielle (who should be born in the next two weeks!). Add to that a few more home renovation projects and the holidays and life just became very hectic.

We had a very good holiday season and Santa was very good to me. I got a copy of Final Fantasy III for my Nintendo DS Lite, along with some Swiss Army perfume, a new leather travel case and an iPod FM transmitter. All of these are great but I ended up giving the iPod transmitter to my brother-in-law since our new car has a built-in CD MP3 player. Some of the other gifts I got were the Children of Mana game for Nintendo DS and the music CD End of the World Party by Medeski, Martin and Wood.

Finally, while I was in Detroit this past week, I ended up picking up a second-hand copy of Super Mario 64 DS. That seems like a really well-done port of the Nintendo 64 classic that I will enjoy playing in the weeks to come.

I will try to start posting regularly (how many times am I going to say that) and will definitely let you all know when our second daughter is born.

Yes, I am back from another long phase of no posting. Sorry about that. The end of 2006 was extremely busy with all of my travels in my new position as field application engineer.

The back end of my blog has just been updated to the new version of Wordpress (2.1).

For those who are using my link-library plugin for Wordpress, you’ll be happy to know that I have just updated it to work with Wordpress 2.1. I also added a few parameters to the function to show all the links since they removed these parameters from the Wordpress admin interface. I have done some testing on this newly updated site and also got a lot of very helpful feedback from Sarah Liberman (thanks a bunch!).

You can download the newest version of the plugin here. I also updated the usage example to show these new parameters. Let me know if you find any issues.
