World: r3wp

Another Brian :)

I was wondering...

Looks like he's using an old version of Rebol where forall does not 
reset to head.

Fork (as he is known here) should upgrade.

I removed most people from the USA and Pro-USA groups. If you want 
to join them, they are now opt-in, rather than opt-out. Let someone 
know, and you can be added.

This world is hosted by REBOL Technologies, and we are all guests 
here. When you create groups, please consider if they belong on this 
world. This should be mainly a technical world, focusing on REBOL. 
If you create a non-technical group, make it private and allow people 
to opt in.


Social and chat groups are welcome, this is our community after all, 
but please keep the signal-to-noise ratio high. 


If you are abusive or excessivevly confrontational, you may be removed 
from the world.

Happy REBOLing!

Could you add me back?

Sorry about that, I missed you in the initial list.

How do I remove myself from a private group such as "Evolution vs 
Creation"? It comes back with "You must include yourself in this 
group" when I click "Save" (after clicking my name to move it from 
the right-hand list to the left).

Try going to your user profile and unchecking the associated checkbox.

I'll remove you. You can bring up your profile and uncheck that group 
as well.

Right-click on your name in the users column. The pop-up menu has 
a set of check boxes for the private groups.

<he he> We're all over this one now.

At least for the private groups you are subscribed to. I think AltME 
could use another level of privacy: opt-in. Then the checklist in 
the user profile could include opt-in groups as unchecked if they 
are not subscribed. It's not privacy, it's peace of mind.

For opt-in groups the current level of privacy is too private.

Here's a little problem.

I wish to track vaccinations for children.  Vaccines have unique 
identifiers provided by the CDC and have to be given at certain time 
frames.

But some vaccines are given several times.

If they are given late, you have to run a catchup schedule.

Of course, parents can decline for their children to be vaccinated.

I don't wish to create a unique identifier for each vaccine and due 
date ... any other way?

What do you need to track about vaccines?

I wish to allow the user to create a set of rules to tell them whether 
the child is due to be vaccinated, whether they have completed their 
vaccinations etc.

You can use the CDC's unique identifier rather than creating your 
own. Nothing wrong with scoped uniqueness.

I am using the CDC codes .. but the code is for the vaccine, not 
for the vaccination itself.

Once I create a code for the vaccination, I can no longer share data 
with anyone else so easily.

Unless you do a two-part key: one for you, one unique for your stuff.

the problem is the way health information is fractured in the usa

It will depend, too, on how it needs to be shared. For example, is 
there a standard way others need to query the data, or you need to 
query theirs, to compare? Is there a standard line-item model, where 
vaccination dates are the line items for a particular vaccine?

I'm going to just use rules .... and each rule will consume one of 
the vaccinations.

if there is a rule and no vaccination to consume, then there is a 
vaccination that needs to be done.

So, a HIB vaccine ( haemophilus influenzae ) needs to be given at 
2, 4, 6 and 12 months = 4 rules

I'm not clear on the exact need, from a code and data design perspective.

the aim is to allow users to create their own rules

with only the date of a vaccination and the vaccine type known to 
the rule

oh , and the child's dob

A checklist that your app generates from rules, for them to use, 
or to be used in-app by you, with them saying what schedule they 
want to follow?

My brain seems to be turned off for the night. Just can't visualize.

Alan please stop with the posting of periods.  It messes up the view 
for all of us.

sorry but have 2 Installed Altme under wine on mandriva and it crashed 
only way 2 synch

If anyone manages to figure out how the compress:// scheme works, 
I'd be happy.

see system/standard/compress and the error given by open [scheme: 
'compress]

I saw a little of a cartoon tv series some time ago, that I can't 
remember the name of. I think, it was called "Afterlife" or something 
like that. It was mostly still pictures with very little animation, 
but lots of atmosphere. The story was kind of confusing but something 
like after a nuclear war (maybe), and we followed this guy, who was 
on a run and met some strange people maybe in the countryside in 
USA. One was kind of a hunter. Anyone knows, what I'm talking about?

Simpsons?

nah :P

A voice was telling the story, and then we followed this guy in the 
nature. He met a hunter, who learned him to handle a weapon and how 
to survive. (I think, only saw a little of it.)

I think this falls into chat - non webpublic, non rebol :)

Yeah, maybe. I was in doubt.
