http://igotgenes.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
It's Not Easy Being Genes. Wednesday, July 1, 2009. Getting the hostname back in the Jaunty GDM greeter. Release, 9.04, codename " Jaunty Jackelope. Has turned out to be one of the best, maybe even on par with the "Gutsy Gibbon" release. The aesthetics definitely got some love; for example, if you're not running the "Dust" theme, you're missing out. [Hint: go to Preferences. And select "Dust"] The GDM greeter login screen looks the best of any Ubuntu release. To use this patch, just do. Links to this post.

On Splitting Files… | Chad Burrus's Blog
https://chburrus.wordpress.com/2011/09/11/on-splitting-files
Chad Burrus's Blog. On Splitting Files…. Edit (2012/03/10): Updated the awk script to use “$0” instead of “$1” to prevent problems with spaces in FASTQ identifiers. Hat tip to Thasso via his comment below. Note: this is an older post I’ve had sitting around for a while–hope it helps someone. In bioinformatics, we often have to deal with huge FASTQ. The Illumina file into pieces, we could pull the reads we wanted out in parallel, and thus would get our results much faster than just waiting on the serial s...

Chad Burrus's Blog. Strange Loop 2010: Thursday. Last week, I spent Thursday and Friday at the Strange Loop. Conference in St. Louis, Missouri.

The ones I did make it to were amazing, however. (You can access the slides for each of the talks at the Strange Loop presentations page. I started off with Hilary Mason. Better known as Ge...

It's Not Easy Being Genes. Tuesday, August 9, 2011. The bog of eternal singlehood: college towns beyond college. I mean, let's take an honest look at the candidates in the dating pool in a college town for those who already hold one or more higher education degrees:. I'm sorry, did you not see the word "kids" there? Emotionally unstable semi-adults who incorrectly concluded that the panacea to their life problems was to get yet another degree. It's okay, so long as their friends never find out they're sl...

Organise your bioinformatics projects using Subversion and Trac: part 1 | What You're Doing Is Rather Desperate
https://nsaunders.wordpress.com/2007/10/03/organise-your-bioinformatics-projects-using-subversion-and-trac-part-1
What You're Doing Is Rather Desperate. Notes from the life of a computational biologist. Organise your bioinformatics projects using Subversion and Trac: part 1. To the second work server and the home server. The laptop is, as much as possible, a dumb terminal for SSH to other places. I’ve been using CVS. For a few years just for code and found it to be very beneficial and quite easy to use, especially from within emacs. However, people kept telling me that Subversion. I use Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty), whi...

It's Not Easy Being Genes: April 2011
http://igotgenes.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
It's Not Easy Being Genes. Friday, April 29, 2011. Let's talk: designing inter-cellular circuits through synthetic biology. Brought in Prof. Ron Weiss. Studies with high false-positive rates, or microarray. Of course, as I've learned repeatedly (but have failed to generalize), "You don't need to understand the internal combustion engine to drive a car.". Behind a Nature paywall, sorry). In this work, Weiss and his colleagues created a population of "receiver" bacteria cells, which had a genetic circu...
