Blog Post Notes
To get around to, one day.
Bioinformatics
Can we stop this introspection and just get on with it?
Wikipedia, abstracts, copyright
- It's right and wrong
Ideas versus execution
- Sometimes, the idea is more important than the execution
- Example: Google Docs - while not great, the aim to to stop document emailing
- Community: the sensation that people are on your wavelength when it comes to new technologies
When fun projects become abandoned
- An account of CUL plugin development, from inception to abandonment
- It's Not Easy Being Genes: Not the Biopythonista I thought I'd be
Raises these issues:
- Development of bio* libraries
- Contributing to bio* libraries
- Roll your own versus bio* libraries
- Getting stuff done versus language aesthetics
Crap, embarassing science
Bad and embarassing genomics
- ARC Centre for Kangaroo Genomics
- Australian First: Kangaroo Genome Mapped
- evolgen: Genome Sequenced, Published via Press Release
- Genomicron: Science by press release
- tagline: "If you are in Australia and you want to show that you are a major player in genomics, then it's important"
Open source versus academic collaboration
- First one works; second one doesn't; why?
Better journal RSS
- Better feed = better workflow
- Embedded data: RIS, BibTeX, COINS, PDF links?
All hail prokaryotes
