Leon Elijah, *31.3.2010

… sometimes the world moves quicker than our thoughts. On March 31st our son Leon Elijah was born. The past two weeks have been exiting, exhausting, and amazing. Even attempting to describe how many things the arrival of our little one changed my and our lives would require a small book, and I wont even attempt to tell how happy just looking at him makes me. He is quite simple the best thing that ever happened to me.

So expect some delays in the database world, since yours truly has embarked on a bewildering journey that most of us have only seen with wide innocent eyes from the other side of the boat. I shall attempt, however, not to exclusively babytalk from now on.

New arrivals and new concepts

Although I only know of one person actually reading this blog (Hello, Sebastian!) , I thought I’d keep everyone else informed too, instead of sending an email. My new job provided me with some excellent insights into conceptual work and the requirements of precise and thorough briefings, and thus I’ve started to create wireframes  for all the forms the database will need. Even leaving out doublettes, i.e. forms that will pop up at different parts of the website or will basically look similar, I still will have finished roughly 30 screenshots soon. Additionally I have a new paper with a full catalogue of user cases, which in turn should provide me with enough material to re-phrase the data model. Last step would be reviewing the current model of the database, after whcih I would probably have to take the whole thing professional.

In related news, work on this blog will remain even sloppier than before, since we’re expecting a baby soon and I’ll probably be more busy with him than anything else. maybe after some serious reorganisation in my life I might be able to pursue this project further, but from now on meeting the little man is the first priority, and I’ll keep you updated about that, too :)
