Bonking heads

Smacking heads together makes an amusing "bonk" noise. How long will this remain fun?

Someone has combined two sports which were clearly made for each other. I'm so glad we live in a world where this sort of thing can happen.

Maps.

Some maps are works of art. There are books about the greatest maps ever made. Given an address, a map gives a graphical representation of the relationship of the address to the surrounding features in a pleasing and useful combination of style and informative content.

This is not one of those maps.

I don't want to like this guy

The blog photo is the biggest I've ever seen, that speaks of an ego far too big for the internet.

But he gets excited by all the same things I do! It's not fair!

You write your application in Python with a WSGI-compatible web framework via the Google App Engine SDK and upload it to your App Engine account. Then, you sit back and let the world hit your app as hard as it can and let Google handle the rest.

Whoah! I just wish my account application would go through and I could start hosting some apps on this thing. Also, just for good measure, you can run AMF3 remoting on App Engine! Sweeeet!

Wit and wisdom of Wubbsy

Move over kant, step aside Neitche, there's a new philosopher in town! Wubbsy, for those unfamiliar with childrens TV, is a yellow cat-like creature who lives in a tree and likes to play, play, play. He's got a bendy tail, and he likes it that way.

I use wubbsism all the time in my software architecture decisions. For example, if there's a proper way to do things the J2EE way, but you want it done now and done fast, "it doesn't have to be by the book."

Going home!

Saw the specialist at rounds this morning. The doctor have his assessment and asked if i should be sent home. The specialist said 'erumph' so i'm going home!

Visitors

Taking over my bed!

Soup

This liquid is called 'soup'. I know this because it's there written on the menu. It tastes like boiled grass clippings. I kid you not.

Getting better

So much for high drama. So much for my chance to be featured in the Hallmark Channel movie-of-the-week. Looks like I'm getting better.

The swelling has gone down, the pain is much lower, and looks like I might be out of here soon. I have to finish the antibiotics, which are all intraveous :( so who knows when that ends.

Doctors still don't know whats up, they want to do more blood tests. You start taking blood to see why I'm getting better and you know that's just one step away taking blood from random passers-by to see why they're not sick. I bet some doctors would love to do just that. "Excuse me sir, but..." *JAB* "OW!"

I'll post more when I know more.

Ultrasound blobs

Do you know how hard it is to get a mobile signal in the radiology department?

Meanwhile at home

Alex tried to push the couch out of the way using his backside as leverage against the lounge room window. His backside won.


Alex wasn't hurt, luckily.

Nice view

On the 8th floor, out my window, overlooking the cemetery.

More data

Now that I have the laptop and wireless bband set up, (instead of just mobile phone) I can give a longer explanation, although I'm restricted to one-handed typing.

Friday night I was leaning over on my wrist after filling some of the cracks in the kitchen floor with wood putty, and I felt one of those tendon 'twinges' that people have every so often. I thought nothing more of it.

Next day, my wrist was sore, but manageable, as long as I didn't pick anything up. Sunday it was still sore, but I still manafeable as long as I laid my wrist still and didn't move. Monday it was time for the emergency room.

Nobody could tell what was wrong - I have had two doctors and two specialists look at it now, and at the moment I'm under observation and being filled with more antibiotics than a red rooster chicken.

And there we leave the story until more information appears. Tune in to the rss feed to stay up to date.

Nice big single room though.

Ow ow ow ow ow ow

My wrist got really sore on saturday and now here i am in the austin. Blood tests and antibiotics later and... Nobody knows what the problem is.
