Personal Update -- Please Pardon My Inactivity
My wife, Jenny, was diagnosed with breast cancer a week ago. This was not a huge surprise out of nowhere, since we've long known that our infertility was due to something called Poly-Cystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). This causes all sorts of fibrotic tissue (lumps) in the breasts, and she's already had several biopsies over the years, so it was just a matter of time for the most part. She's had her first chemo treatment this week on Monday, and will be repeating chemo every 2 weeks for the next 16 weeks or so, after which time we'll need to regroup and consider her surgery options. If anything, she's looking forward to getting firm perky breasts in 6 months, so other than being tired, and obviously a little depressed at times, she's doing well and should have a good outcome -- it just takes time.
Anyhow, since I work from home for my current client, this hopefully won't be too difficult, but it may mean that I will not get to some of my personal projects very quickly. In particular, I will be putting out a small update to my ORMapper soon, a few new features and a few small bug fixes, but I no longer know how much time I will end up getting to finish my UIMapper and other future personal projects. I may end up just throwing what I have for my UIMapper out there as is, or with very few additional changes, since it does work already (I've used it in production for some time now), even though it may lack a few things I wanted to add first. So please know that while I'm still working, I may be slower to answer email or post things, or to get all the things done that I want to do.
