On building a healthcare system in Rwanda…

I’ve been hyper busy with work, but don’t feel I’m getting a lot accomplished besides being tired a lot. Regardless, expect a few extensive (but hilarious) posts soon.

Until those posts arrive, check out Bill Clinton’s TED 2007 speech about the Rwandan health care system. http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/85 has the video and audio.

On adding better OS X support in OpenMRS

Made some changes to the SVN version of OpenMRS (alpha branch and form entry module) to better support my OS X build.

Haven’t checked in changes but basically there is some application logic that looks for OS X and changes how commands (jar, lcab, cabextract) and where it stores the OpenMRS files (~/.OpenMRS). Thanks to a broken darwinports server, lcab had to be installed manually (/usr/local/bin/lcab) and cabextract has to be installed in darwinports (/opt/local/bin/cabextract). Either way, the code looks for the binaries in /usr/local/bin/. I’ll be documenting this fact soon.
