    Hi, I've reformatted the data into machine-readable 3-columns format: date, division, count. Are in interested in update?

    The data set appears truncated: I only get 65k lines in the first chromosome. Anybody else run into that problem?

    what can you do with this info? If I had my genome, could we tell how many generations ago we shared ancestors?

    Hey Serge! Hopefully if you clone my body, you will fix all of the problems first. :)

    I posted my DNA because I wanted to prove a point — that nothing bad happens when you share your genetics with the world.

    It's also worth mentioning that me posting my DNA precluded us having this conversation, and that's a central reason for participating on BuzzData.

    Hi Clay, just wondering: were you actually on-site at the field hospital during the data collection period?

    Yes, I was. One of the physicians took a lot of photos, which you can see here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/marshallsegal/collections/72157623522900049/
    Here's a photo of somebody using the EMR / Pharmacy Tracking Rails app that I built: http://www.flickr.com/photos/marshallsegal/4506633821/in/set-72157623697974367/

    I have some more photos / screenshots of the app hanging around somewhere.

    A few more photos of the Rails app: http://bit.ly/n1M1QF and http://bit.ly/r9YuON
    I built it on site. The original version took about a day and I added more features (patient tracking, etc.) in the weeks that followed the initial deployment.

    I'm in the middle of going over the thoughts you sent Pete and reworking it as a blog post ... Your job (and problem) is fascinating. I wonder if you've ever used apps from or contributed apps to Ushahidi?

    clay clay

    Yes, I know one of the founders of Ushahidi. It can be a useful tool, but hasn't (in my opinion) proven itself following a disaster yet. Again, it comes back to the problem of input and quality of information. In Haiti, many stranded/injured/hungry people sent in SMS messages to Ushahidi to call for help. Their knowledge of the system and ability to access it says nothing about whether they are most in need or whether responders should focus on helping them. Triage is critical in the first 72 hours of disaster response and a firehose of calls for help can muddle response efforts as easily as it can improve them. I think the Ushahidi team knows this, however, and will refine their efforts to provide a focused tool that more people are aware of and use.

    The primary challenge for Ushahidi ultimately is the 3-foot problem. How do you get the responders on the ground to a) know of the tool, b) learn the tool, c) use the tool, and d) trust that use of the tool will help them?

    Okay, so I just actually watched that... and the follow-up. Do you realize that Justin Bieber actually showed up at their house and sang Happy Birthday to them?

    Man... so jealous.
