Hectic Times

I've been unable to update this blog regularly because, as you can see by my title, I've been going through hectic times.
Firstly, i'm still very much involved in AMPATH work - so much so that I've been unable to spend any time with my beloved OpenMRS core over the past month or so.
However, We've definitely making progress. Ada is even getting me an AMPATH tee shirt (So that I can say 'I've been there, and done that'. ) Poor Ben (our Director) has been asked to do the purchasing (since he's frequently flying to and fro between Eldoret and Indy).

I'm also getting an Muzungu tee shirt. Muzungu is basically African for 'the white people' (in Swahili is means 'confused person wondering about' :-D ).

 I guess Muzungu Tee shirts are somewhat of a fad of Regenstrief and PIH employees. I think its also very popular among westerners working in Africa. But anyway, I'm really looking forward to the tee shirts, and hoping that Ben wont get them in the lemon green and pink colours that he suggested :-)

Other than this, I'm also working on two other OpenMRS related projects, as part of something that Professor Solovitz of MIT suggested. Dr. Mamlin is helping me with one of these, while my favorite lecturer from IIT is helping with the other. (well, formerly IIT, and now with the Swinburne University, AUS).

Hopefully, we'll know the outcome of these efforts by Dec - Jan. But until that, its all confidential.

I'm also trying to continue with Dr. Shauns' Patient matching improvements, but its been really hard to find the free time.
And plus, my university does not understand that I'm really busy, and keeps assigning Course works.

Oh well.......
