My life in code...
int leighsAge=30;
int doddsFamilySize=3; //me, debs and Ethan
leighsAge++;
Calendar octoberSeventh = Calendar.newInstance();
octoberSeventh.clear();
calendar.set(2003, 9, 7); //7th October 2003
if ( Calendar.newInstance().after(octoberSeventh) )
{
doddsFamilySize++;
}
Which is a geeky way to say that today is my birthday, and that my wife and I are expecting another baby in early October.

In all seriousness, happy birthday and future congratulations!
Posted by: R.J. Lorimer on April 30, 2003 06:38 PMHappy birthday and enormous congratulations Leigh! Will we see you at XML Europe?
Posted by: Matt Biddulph on April 30, 2003 08:28 PMThanks Matt, much appreciated.
Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to make it to
XML Europe this year, even though its pretty much
"up the road" this year.
It came down to a cheapie week away with the family or geekdom, and the family won!
Hopefully there'll be some opportunity (RDF/FOAF south-west mafia meetup?) to get together for a beer soon.
