Hi, I'm a person living in the North East of England who has schizophrenia. I have been in and out of hospital between 2001-2004. This blog will be notes about my experiences as a patient (aka client) both in hospital and in the community. I can be contacted via email to ian DOT bruntlett AT gmail.com (delete the "DOT", "AT" and spaces from that email address). What is schizopanic? Its the panic that flashes through someone's eyes when you tell them you've got schizophrenia.
Despite being completely under the weather I ran a game of Traveller yesterday. For once we had 4 players - 1 player per character and that proved to be really good.
Today I tested positive for Covid. It felt like a case of hayfever. Sadly, it was not.
I'm still reading technical books to review. It is currently an exercise in spinning plates. Also, I am preparing to run a Traveller game, a science fiction game set in the far future, in the not too distant future.
I watched the DVD of "The Lives of Others", a film set in 1984 East Berlin.
It struck me that both the far left and the far right don't know how to handle artists and writers.
I have just found out about another programmer with schizophrenia - Terry A. Davis
In other news, my cold is slowly going away and I've had to resort to Paracetamol for a headache.
Well, the SSH Mastery Book seems to be unsuitable for my needs. Currently reading Wikipedia articles on public-key cryptography and, later on, its article on SSH.
In other news, I worked out how to get Ubuntu to launch a calculator when an otherwise unused key is pressed!
Well, my meds didn't turn up today.
In the morning I was reading "SSH Mastery (2e)" when I realised I needed to read "Networking for System Administrators". So I started on that.
In the afternoon I bounced around various Traveller sourcebooks, looking to get an idea of more things too read - what and when.
