I’m proud to announce that my brother Stephen is now working with me and doing a fantastic job coding in WordPress and Drupal. He recently was part of a team that won a bronze medal in Japan at the ACM-ICPC programming competition and has recently completed his degree in computer science and mathematics at Auckland University. It was about time I had someone else to help me which leads me to my second announcement…
I’m also very excited to announce that I’m pregnant! The baby is due in October and things are going well. Thankfully no sickness ever but I am needing an awful lot of sleep (I feel like a hibernating bear at times) and get tired incredibly easily. Will keep you updated.

your thoughts

Congrats the news…

Congratulations on both fronts. You’ll have to report back on your experiences with working with family members. I’ve contemplated whether or not I should offload some work to a brother but am unsure whether anything will ever get done. Family and work, from what I’ve gathered, can be especially difficult at times.

How exciting!!! Will pray that the rest of the pregnancy goes well and that you both make the transition to parenthood smoothly
