Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-06-05

Posted on June 5, 2011 by Chris Samuel
  • Another day in hospital.. (@ Box Hill Hospital) http://4sq.com/klFaxT #
  • Spammed by digital signage company who got my address from #Linux 2.6.39 changelog (they gave URL in spam) – very odd! #
  • So this morning learned ERCP deferred until Wednesday so back on solid food again. Looks like a lovely day outside! #
  • Yay, I'm the second follower for @linux_3, the other one is the guy who runs it, @decklin.. 🙂 #linux #kernel #
  • Today I've had an ECG after blood test showed high potassium levels which can damage the heart. Now on meds to lower it. #
  • Status: 3 antibiotics (vancomycin, cyprofloxin, flagil), potassium lowering meds, nystatin, paracetomol + 4 drain tubes #
  • Sigh, latest @slashdot story continues the myth that Colossus at Bletchley Park was used against Engima cipher… 🙁 #
  • IIRC Colossus was used against the Lorentz ciphers, BP used the "bombs" running menus against Enigma. #
  • (and yes, I'm the "anonymous coward" pointing it out in the comments) #
  • Oops, "bomb" should have been spelled "bombe", I plead not having my copy of "Top Secret Ultra" to hand.. 🙂 #
  • Good info on what was used for what here: http://www.bletchleypark.org.uk/content/machines.rhtm #
  • Obit of Peter Calvocoressi, author of "Top Secret Ultra" and head of air intelligence at Bletchley http://bit.ly/cKMGSW #
  • Amazed that there is no register of Australian Indigenous Rock Art sites, they are priceless, vulnerable + need recording #
  • ERCP went well this morning, might be starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.. (@ Box Hill Hospital) http://4sq.com/lzqDtz #
  • You've got to feel sorry for Matthew Garrett (@mjg59) http://mjg59.livejournal.com/137313.html #
  • Is it just me, or does Joe Cocker look possessed by the spirit of Father Jack ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlDmslyGmGI #
  • Great news, been told 3 of the 4 drainage tubes can come out today, original one has to stay for now. http://4sq.com/lmQFoN #
  • Three drain tubes gone, original converted to free drainage, thank the pharmacists for endone! #
  • Today one of the surgeons uttered the magic words "you could be going home soon" 🙂 #
  • Did you know that @internode run an #IPv6 tunnel broker service for customers in addition to their native IPv6 service ? #
  • More info here: http://ipv6.internode.on.net/access/tunnel-broker/ (via @NewtonMark) #
  • What the hell is the point of having parliamentary rules if ruling party can suspend them to get defeated bill through? #
  • When you start suspending parliamentary rules to pass a bill to permit religious discrimination you are in deep trouble.. #
  • OK, almost 10pm, bed time here at hospital… #
  • Down to 1 drain tube left and that could come out soon according to surgeon's! (@ Box Hill Hospital) http://4sq.com/iBq9ub #
  • Rumours that final drain tube could come out today! + Extra blood test to see if I can swap from IV to oral antibiotics. #
  • Update: drain tube stays but off all antibiotics. Will be kept in overnight for observation but if OK will be out Sat! #
  • Congrats to @ZaReason et.al for participating in the USG "TechWomen" initiative http://1.usa.gov/mM8ccG /cc @AdaInitiative #
  • Thought for the day: life is all about having experiences, you need to make the most of the opportunities whilst you can #
