I'm an UNCLE!

I'm excited and proud to say that i am an uncle! My sister gave birth to a cute baby boy that they named Joshua. I'm very happy for my whole family from my sister to my grandparents who are now enjoying playing with the new bundle of joy. Unfortunately this make me more home sick as i too want to play with the new guy in town. Here are a few pics of Josh.

As for me, I have confirmation that i will be heading back to American sometime in the 3rd week of August, making my stay here less than 2 months now. I haven't gotten a finalized date of departure or a finalized return location, but everyone is keeping their finger's crossed for everything to stay the way they were prior to my leaving for India.

I've still been my lazy self and have not taken pics of the Bangalore campus or the sewer pits surrounding it, but i will... eventually.

For work, me and Bill have been assigned a mock project to create a full blown e-commerce site including database authentication, user account with category favorite and language preferences, pagination, breadcrumbs, and more. Think amazon.com, but with way less products. We were given a week to 2 week time frame to complete it, which is pretty tough seeing as we are also learning while doing and it is only the 2 of us. Once completed i will be pretty knowledgeable in the struts architecture and will have experience to produce web applications on my own if i choose. After the 2 weeks, we will join in on the Lexis Nexis project for the remaining time in India.
