It seems I can no longer edit my entry page to include a direct link to the this version, so consider this the official link, I suppose.<\/p>\n <p>To cut to the chase, it&#8217;s\u00a0been an amazing past month since the end of the competition. I don&#8217;t typically like to wax personal in a public forum, but I feel compelled to mention that my first son was born nearly two weeks ago, a bit past the due date. He&#8217;s amazing, and everything I have done in my life for the past several years has been for my lovely wife and our beautiful family. I have never made much money by American standards, but thanks to them, I have always felt both rich\u00a0and blessed.<\/p>\n <p>I promise not to drag this out, so suffice it to say that my supportive family has helped rekindle my passion for programming as well as life in general, and I can&#8217;t wait to see what the rest of this year has in store.<\/p>\n <p>P.S. If anyone knows of a way in which I can add the link to the post-compo version to my main entry page, please let me know.<\/p>\n \n <p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/motivation\/\" rel=\"tag\">motivation<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/post-compo\/\" rel=\"tag\">post-compo<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/postcompo\/\" rel=\"tag\">postcompo<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/real-life\/\" rel=\"tag\">real life<\/a><\/p>","time":"May 20th, 2012 8:37 pm","title":"Better Late Than Never"}
