The state of this blog
Those of you that are regular readers of this blog have probably noticed a considerable decline in the number of articles being posted here. I thought that I would share with you the reasons for this and a little about the state of this blog.
There are two big reasons for the decrease. The first one is that I’m writing a book about the Google Maps API 3
The second reason, and the biggest one, is that I’ve become a dad. We had a son in January this year and that’s certainly a life-changing experience. It’s so much fun, but at the same time very time consuming. Fortunately he’s kind enough to let his parents sleep most of the nights, otherwise I don’t know if I would have managed to write the book at the same time.
So that’s the reasons for not posting a lot of articles nowadays. Hopefully when the book is finished I will get back to posting regularly again, event if it’s probably going to be a little less often than before.
Man, congrats! Didn’t knew you were about to be dad!
Congrats and success on the book!
Congratulations! On both fronts.
Hi Gabriel,
I’ve been meaning to stop by and congratulate you on the new book. As a co-author of the first Google maps book (NOW OBSOLETE SO BUY GABRIEL’s!) by Apress, I agree that it’s WAY more work than ever anticipated. In fact we started writing the second edition when I was blessed with my 2nd child. She didn’t sleep at night and hence we bailed on Apress. I’m thrilled that someone was able to write a book about API 3.
Congrats!

Hi Cameron,
Really nice hearing from you! Thanks a lot for your kind words! Our son still sleeps really well at night which truly is a blessing! But wow, I had no idea that that was the case with your book. I guess that I owe your daughter a thanks for getting a chance to get my book published by Apress.
