Notes

Posts which are categorised as “Notes” are my asides: brief notes which are usually just one paragraph long and aren’t displayed with a headline.

It appears that next month’s proposed trip to San Francisco is on. Details soon.

I have just published a full accounting of the Artemis Medical Fund. Thank you so much for your generosity. In summary, your donations covered all costs, and the remainder was almost the same as the total from people who told me to keep the remaining funds myself. There was a small difference, a little over $50, so I’ve made a $100 donation to the Cat Protection Society of NSW through their online donation page at Everyday Hero.

Just a quick note to say that I’ll have a full report on Artemis’ health once I’ve visited her at Pet Vets at midday Sydney time. That’s in about an hour, and I’ll post something perhaps an hour or two after that.

There was brief news from Dr Emily Payne on Friday night to say that various kidney-related enzyme levels were still high but reducing relatively quickly, which indicates both that the suspicions regarding liver disease could well be correct and that the issues may not be severe in the long term. The plan then was to keep her on fluids for another 48 hours and update the plan, which of course brings us to now. Please stand by.

About 7.30pm this evening Dr Emily Payne from Pet Vets left a voicemail with an update about Artemis: “She’s drinking a bit of water for us, and she has eaten a very small amount of food as well, so that’s good. And she’s purring when she gets a pat.”

In the week between Christmas and New Year I didn’t write anything for anyone, I didn’t do any podcasts, I didn’t appear in the media anywhere, and I didn’t receive any corporate largesse. I’m just posting this post so the numerical sequence of “Weekly Wrap” posts is consistent.

Just in case you missed it, I’m currently in San Francisco at Salesforce.com‘s Dreamforce 10 event. I did write about this previously. I’ll post more soon. Once I’ve caught up on sleep.

Once more, it’s been a long time since I’ve written anything here apart from the Weekly Wraps. I shall have to work out how to fix this. It’s all a matter of finding a balance between writing for money, writing for me, and other commitments.

I’m very pleased to see that someone else is attempting to solve my Script Challenge. Check the most recent comments. I’m still surprised that it remains unsolved after three years.

I can’t wait until the weekend. I simply must mention that my article about yesterday’s agreement between Telstra and the NBN Co over Australia’s National Broadband Network is Crikey‘s lead story today. Enjoy. I also cover it briefly in today’s Patch Monday podcast. Enjoy that too.

A quick reminder: I’m about to head to Seattle for the rest of this week, returning to Sydney on Sunday 30 May 2010. Why? I’m visiting Microsoft to talk security. I’ll be posting pictures and stuff at my new Posterous site, Stilgherrian’s Stream. Also on Sunday, we’ll be watching Eurovision on the big screen at Kelly’s on King, Newtown, gathering there from about 6pm. See you then?
