Ah, the joys of sleep deprivation. Thankfully, Mandy’s folks are up for a few days and are giving us a welcome bit of help with our new addition.

More pictures up on Flickr for those who have been asking.

Jack Leins Lowery arrived today at 8:28am, weighing in at 8lbs, 12oz and measuring 20″ long.

Almost there.

• More fun with hotkeys. j-j now takes you to the next sub if you’re on the last item of a sub. Might change it to just j. Also, s and f are working again.
• Paul and Geoff got the console working.. ~ ftw.
• Spent most of the weekend cleaning up, both in the Bloglines beta and around the house. Nesting continues.
• Bought a tent for the crib to keep the kitties out.
• Also picked up a barely used White Hot XG #9 putter. Yay for the used bin! I’d link to it, but Odyssey is lame and don’t offer direct links to individual products.

Any day now.

• Today is code complete for beta. Rushing to get finish up the tree DnD code.
• Will got the j/k hotkeys working again. After some profiling, it looks like the most expensive part of moving around are the DOM calls. Not sure if it’s the nextSibling / prevSibling or the offset* properties. Need to take a peek at this some more. Thankfully, it only becomes an issue if you’re looking at 200 or more items at a time.

I got what I was looking for.

• Our fellows at Ask launched a great new ad last night. Check it out.
• Met with the OB/GYN and attended a class on child care last night. Remember: don’t palm the baby’s face.
• Paul wrote a new module called mod_never_expire that we’re using for immutable JS and CSS files. We include a revision in the URL for our JS and CSS, so when we push out new JS and CSS, the URL changes. This allows us to tell browsers and proxies to cache our JS and CSS for quite a while, reducing the number of HTTP requests returning clients have to make.
• Discovered Charles last night, which is freaking awesome. I just wish it wasn’t $50 a seat. Anyone know of a fiddler-alike for OSX?
