awww, thanks for all the well-wishes. Maybe once I get some sleep I can come up with a good baby/coding joke. All I can come up with is: Speaking of doesn't scale she was 9 lbs, 2 oz? Anyway, thanks, we're all happy and healthy and couldn't ask for more.

She is gorgeous! (And for a change, I'm not saying that while secretly thinking she looks like a squished monkey, which is how most newborns appear to me. That's one beautiful-lookin' baby.)
Well done to you and her mum/mom. May Samantha's life be filled with love and laughter.

Jessamyn:Hey, how did we end up with a cooking subsite?
Cortex: Yeah, I thought we nixed that one. (looks at pb)
Pb: (mumbles for a minute) Well, Samantha thought it would be a good idea. She likes cooking. I'll just never figure out how she got that real pony the other day...

Oh come on Fiona & Samantha don't have to work together.
They'll we drawn together by coincidence, then realize their lineages are tied together, & that they both hail from a heritage of stupendous badasses.
For the purposes of this story, Fiona gets a banhammer, & Samantha gets pb's sword (a symbol of a world-class hacker). And I'm not sure if they fight crime or organize communities, oh, why not, they do both.
Also: woot!

C'mon, Pronoiac, with words like lineage, a sword, a hammer, you know it's got to be more of a fantasy story you're setting up. Possibly written by Ellen Kushner. Definitely badasses, though.
