Raphaella Elizabeth Murphy-Rodgers
Last week, on a cold November afternoon, a little girl joined our family. She was born at 15:17 at Grand River Hospital in Kitchener-Waterloo weighing 7lbs 3oz and 21 inches tall! She has an older brother that loves her loads and parents that are still getting over the whole OMG WE HAVE TWO NOW! We are truly blessed to have another amazing kid in our lives—these little humans certainly put things in perspective.
I was thinking about being off all of December but it seems that isn’t going to happen. Oddly I really feel like blogging more and organizing my home office. I just can’t get time in front of the computer because I would rather be playing with the toddler (the older brother) 
It has been a really tough week and a half (yes that is sarcasm).
Simplelog dies because of RedCloth
No idea why it took until the other day for it to happen but my blog just shut down and all I got was an error in my mongrel.log that suggested an error with the RedCloth Gem. I could have sworn the gems were frozen on my running version of Simplelog but I guess they aren’t. My fix was to comment out the calling of RedCloth gem in my text_helper.rb. This isn’t ideal but it got me up and running again.
A friend with the same problem will likely find a better solution. I do wish someone would start working on Simplelog again… such a great little app.
