The break came in the form of our first child, my son, hitting the scene.  All I’ve done since then computer-wise has been process and upload photos and update his blog.  Well, he’s now 5 days old and comfortably sleeping on my wife’s chest.  Even through the sleep deprivation and emotional roller coaster of his birth, I’ve still been thinking about TempMine.  Now, with us happily home, and him in a lull between feedings, it just felt like time to start coding again and it feels good!

This break has also had another great benefit, it’s reassured me how absolutely rocking this project is.  How great it is after all the projects I’ve been a part of, to be working on something that will truly improve many, many people’s lives.  Something they will love.  Something they will rely on daily.  Something that will change the lives of their families.  Something that is good. 

What I also love about this project is the few people who know what we’re really doing, keep sharing conversations they’ve had with all sorts of random folks – potential clients and users.  Conversations that inevitably come down to their summing up to me how this person needs TempMine, how they don’t even know how much pain they’re suffering because it’s just the way things are.  That is a good place to be.

So what is it that they need that we’re going to provide?  Not quite yet, not quite yet.  But I will say this, we are going to crush the temporary staffing industry.  It is fundamentally broken and we aim to fix it in. I want to write so much more about it, but I best get back to coding.  The little one will be awake before I know it.
