Hiatus
Just an update on the personal front, I’m on a hiatus because we have a 2-week old baby boy in the house (our second boy). Everything on the website is functioning normally, expired auction lists are being updated, SEO and minisite services are available, and Estibot support is online. My man Sri is handling the bulk of support at this point. I’ll be returning to work gradually, and will be focusing on building the new tools and services that are in the pipeline.
I’ve got to tell you, spending time away from the computer is something you should try. I’ve had a great couple of weeks, lots of family time, exercise (started training for a duathlon race), and although the two little poop-catapults keep us very busy, it still somehow feels like holiday.
Went to the zoo with my older son, and then on another day to the local Sea Life, a wonderful aquarium of exotic fish. We had a great time, and it made me really want to get back to diving. Maybe when the kids are a bit older..
Have a great summer!

There’s nothing like having a kid to put things into perspective.
Thanks for the great tools.

Just came across estibot and I am amazed at the services you offer. Proof once again that the difference between a good idea and a good business is not luck, but just getting busy and building it. Waiting for the ‘best time’ is to wait for a bus that will never come.
Enjoy your time with those boys, this is the one opportunity that will truly never come again.
I was also happy to find you are a fellow pilot. Do not give up on that dream. Once thing I noticed that ‘rang the wrong bell’ with me … you Pilot license is _not_ expired. You earned that certificate and it is yours for life. You are non-current, not expired. No matter how long you might have to be in ‘flying hiatus’ status, return to the skies is no farther away than a new medical and a refresher/checkout/BFR when the time becomes right again for you.
