(Hopefully at least one of these questions is useful.)

Figures and stuff taken from my 2012-11-21 notes at the Greenwich TSA meeting. Might be flawed. Please double-check before quoting!

Also please fork, expand, notate, go wild.

Maternity

1. What's the geographical distribution of the 5000 expected births? How would that distribute to the remaining 4 units?
2. How much of the £17M saving would be needed to bring the other 4 units up to capacity for handling the extra births?

rjp's Road To Ruby.

I, rjp, do solemnly offer these my responses to The Road to Ruby Survey:

0. Briefly describe yourself?

Humanoid, halfway through expected lifecycle.

1. When did you first try Ruby seriously?

rjp

#! /usr/bin/perl

use Data::Dumper;
use CGI;
my $a = new CGI;
print $a->header('text/plain');
print Dumper($a);
print "XX ", $a->http('Host'), "\n";
print "YY ", $ENV{'HTTP_HOST'}, "\n";
print "ZZ ", $a->http('Authorization'), "\n";

# Implementation of the MetaWeblog API for my personal Ruby static blog generator.
# This is not even nearly idiomatic Ruby. There are all kinds of issues.
# (What's with the method interiors all being mushed-up together?)
# But -- it's also worked flawlessly for five years without my having to edit it.
# It won't work for anyone else as-is — but if it helps anyone
# to do a MetaWeblog API implementation, then cool.
