Creating New Cell, for real

Posted on June 18th, 2009 in blogging , personal - 28 comments

I have been bubbling with joy and excitement for almost 5 months now.. I don’t think I can hold it any longer. So here it goes,

We are becoming parents.

We have created a new cell and now that little cell multiplying fast. We are expecting the baby in first week of October.

It is very painful for us to stay in 2 different countries during such a beautiful and wonderful period. That is why I am going back to India tomorrow, for a 2 week vacation, to spend time with Jo. Now she is here and I am here

PS: That also means fewer posts during this break (I have scheduled some).

PPS: If you have some fun ideas on excel or charting and would like to write on PHD as a guest author, drop me a mail.

Great news!
Will the number of cells in Excel version 2010 be enough for your ever expanding cell?

Bhars June 18, 2009

Hearty Congratulations to both of you.

This is the formula you need for the first 6 weeks:
=if(randbetween(1,100)>50,’scream’,IF(A1=’hungry’,’scream’,if(A1=’tired’,’sleep’,'poo’)))

Andy Cotgreave June 18, 2009

I’ll try that again so that it wraps:
Here’s your new cell’s formula:
=if(randbetween(1,100)>50, ’scream’, IF(A1=’hungry’, ’scream’, if(A1=’tired’, ’sleep’,'poo’)))

PS – congratulation

Congrats, Chandoo + Jo! Chandoo, as a father of 3 beautiful girls, I can tell you that this moment will change your life in all sorts of ways (mostly for the better!). No-one can tell you just how special it is to be a father (and I’m sure a mother too, but I’ve never been one!), but trust me, it’s the greatest, scariest, most life-affirming thing that can happen to you, IMHO.

Good luck!
