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.

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.

Click Here to get your serial number for CrossOver.

The serial number part seems to work here.

It comes and goes. It is now one free license per email address, 
not per person :)

Did the US economy worsen through the day? :-)

they have also extended the offer to 2 days due to the over load

now they've put the full versions up for direct download.

Yeah, I got those first thing in the morning. I notice that the requests 
for serial numbers are now split into Mac and Linux - I wonder what 
that means for the earlier requests where they didn't make that distinction? 
The offer seems to be the same number of days here, no change.

Anyone know of a markup language that outputs flow charts?  

Something like:

(Start) -> [Get input] -> (End)

And this would out put a smartly laid out flow chart.

Graphviz?    Check this hello world to see if it'll float your boat.

I looked at, not sure, I was hoping for something more, er...universal...

Also, what are the best tools to rip a DVD to an AVI file on Windows. 

The trick here is (well, a) Windows), but more importantly, that 
the AVI will have proper keyframes, which seems to be the problem. 
 All the systems we have played with produce AVIs you CAN'T skip 
through.

Sunanda, yes, cool, this is more what I'm talking about.  Price is 
not an issue for me, although I always prefer things to be based 
on standards, so there are free products, and for sale products.

I've used Allclear in the past (I probably still have a DOS license 
for it!).

What's nice is how simple the text dialect is -- or was in those 
days....I've not checked recently.
