Yesterday at 15:45 CET my second boy has been pushed up into this world! I feel that the whole universe should be at least notified about this fact. Any of you awaiting a children? Is any of you proud of your ones? IP: Logged |

Thank you, thank you.. My wife asked me to print your gratulations and save it for the baby. She is still in a hospital, probably in 3 days I will be allowed to take them home. IP: Logged |

Congrats, sk00t!! Post pics when you have them! A couple of years ago I used to babysit for a little girl (18 months) who was completely fascinated with the beige G3 I had at the time. She loved all the colors and pictures on the screen, and particularly loved to bang on the keyboard (usually managing to rename all my files something like eeee,,,,tgf.) Just to ensure she wouldn't accidentally mess something up, I sat her in front of an Apple IIe and informed her that she could bang away as much as she pleased. But she wasn't interested in the Apple IIe and its boring green screen. She wanted the G3! So I let her play with it, just hovered over her the entire time. ------------------ IP: Logged |

quote: All kids are the same One night I locked the screen and, tired, went to sleep. At the morning we got awaken by loud laughing. My boy was sitting on my desk and was happy: presses a key, a password dialog appears - he laughs. Soon the dialog disappears - he laughs again. He played this for about half an hour. IP: Logged |

quote: To give a chance for people that cannot even type their name I will try to write such login program that will recognize a person-specific typing speed and areas of keyboard that are hit more often (4 buttons-wide areas seems to be enough). After two unsuccesful login name inputs, the program will switch to child-recognizing mode. Cool IP: Logged |

Hot news! Tomorrow, between 10:00 and 14:00 CEST (on this page it will be 00:55am-04:55am) I will take my wife and the baby, from the hospital, back home. Currently they are okay: Again I thank you all for nice words. I was really surprised by so much people to say so ... eeh, I am missing words... you know. However, in a few days I will be back at work and will report their first moments at home. Bye! IP: Logged |

He would watch it until he fell asleep. We also discovered that he liked Voyager...must have been the warp shots and music during the intro. IP: Logged |
