Something I think that would be useful on the
front page: a random
word of the day.
Today I get a
cable modem. I called for it in
December.
Finished reading
The Hacker Ethic today.
To-Be Dad Diary:
My girlfriend has something called
preeclampsia, which was
diagnosed this
afternoon and, luckily, caught before causing some of it's more fun side-effects, namely
dain bramage and
death. Basically it's
pregnancy-related
hypertension (aka
swelling). We have to keep all her urine for 24 hours in a
red container that sits in our
fridge. Yum!
Sometimes I think that keeping
medical textbooks laying around is probably not good for a pseudo-
hypochondriac next to my copy of
The Worst-Case Survival Handbook.
Big Fear: she dies and I'm left to
raise the child by myself. Yeah. It's occurred to me. More than twice.
Big Fear 2: child is born with some "
defect." Like watching
Ripley's Believe it or Not the other day and
the man without a face, eaten off by some
bacteria.
