Tech Stuff, Game Stuff, People Stuff, Emergency

Have had a great week at work, including writing a firewall document for Access Grid, a FAQ for the same and putting up a proposal to incorporate Livejournal/Dreamwidth technology as a collaboration tool for Australian researchers; I should also mention I have codes for DW if anyone is interested. Also last Tuesday attended Linux Users Victoria; Michael Wahren gave an excellent presentation on where Red Hat is taking virtualisation.

My alternative modernist Middle-Earth article, White Hand Rising, has been reprinted in Other Minds. Final draft (although I am sure there will be tweaks) of Rolemaster Cyradon has been submitted. F2F gaming during the week consisted of D&D3.5 Fantasy Australia on Thursday and RuneQuest on Sunday - both went very well.

Last Sunday gave the service at the Melbourne Unitarian Church. The speaker was Michael Shaik from Australians for Palestine and my opening words, reading and closing words were on-topic with his address. The address is repeated at The Isocracy Network; which is open for comment. Next week I am giving the address entitled "Sympathy for the Devil: The Use and Misuse of Metaphysical Evil", which has greatly amused devilgirly who visited during the week (she has been justifiably shilling a a great film clip.

Meanwhile I'm putting all this together as caseopaya is making her way to Royal Melbourne emergency from home because of abnormal levels of ketones. Yes, it can be fatal.. Update: Have returned from emergency. caseopaya is on an insulin drip. Although she has abnormally high sugar and ketone levels she isn't showing any other symptoms of danger. They are keeping her under observation just the same.

Heavens, that's scary. I'm glad they've worked out what's wrong, and hope she is stable soon.

Thanks Catherine.. Whilst she's in good spirits and is otherwise physically and mentally OK, stable is not what you'd call her blood sugar and ketone levels at the moment. They're all over the shop...

Ouch. Do you think she'd like a visit at lunchtime? Since I'm on site, and all.

If so, drop me an email telling me which ward to go to.

love

Catherine

Could you remind me of her non-LJ name? I'm afraid I've forgotten (haven't met her often enough in Real Life). I think you know my work email, my other email is 17catherines at gmail.
