Unfortunately, that is not a Chaitin Omega, since the notion of program length in that paper is flawed. In particular, it counts a 0 or a 1 provided as binary data in the program as adding 7 bits of length to the program. Later papers by Calude fix this problem, while reducing the number of computed bits to 43.
