Refinery

No alarms were set this morning. Not that they were needed. I had been awake since the early hours and even though we weren't expecting Ellie, I couldn't lie in. Diane had to slip out for her blood test when I wandered to Zoe's for the school escort service.

I returned to the codeface. I had realised that a lot more data could be mined from the Health data dump. The problem was knowing how to identify the correct records for each type. Yesterday's program was refined to perform a one-off run against the whole dump and extract each unique identifier. These were scraped from the output and inserted into the program documentation for future reference. I took it a stage further and ran several extracts of different data categories. All those tested worked well.

I had to pop around to Zoe's after school. Ellie was having a meltdown and needed some external intervention. I followed her to her room and managed to calm her down after a few minutes. She even went and apologised to Zoe and Darren.
