Whoa, crazy load spike on #antiSMASH2 Please be patient, we'll get your job done eventually

Kai Blin

What the heck is it with the first Monday after vacation? Spending my time with computer problems. #nobioinformatics

Kai Blin

One goal for year 2013 done: subscribed to LWN. Easy. Next one up is finishing my PhD. How hard can that be?

Kai Blin

The joy of migrating repositories and making sure the CI server still likes them..

Kai Blin

antiSMASH website should be up again after a load spike. Running jobs were not affected.

Kai Blin

Haha, I just realized that that I'm using irssi 0.8.15 for my IRC client. In German, 08/15 usually means "nothing special" or "boring". :-D

Kai Blin

Someone just asked me if the Gentoo udev fork was because of me. Why would I care about Gentoo or udev? Name mixup maybe? I do Samba...

Kai Blin

Great. XML files. Making up for the fact that they're hard to read by a human by being hard to parse for a computer as well.

Kai Blin

Nice. Got some JavaScript code to draw block arrows from json gene cluster data. Off to make it more robust and document it. #antiSMASH2

Kai Blin

Spending my days writing and rewriting parser for the same silly formats. The SearchIO API change in Biopython is just big enough to annoy.

Kai Blin

Done deleting all the start-of-semester learn-how-to-use-the-list flamewars on internal mailing list. Wish we still had an alumni list.

Congrats Tridge and the rest of CanberraUAV for finding Joe in the UAV outback challenge http://ur1.ca/ai3jt #robotics

Spannend. Seit alice @o2_de ist, bricht meine Inet-Verbindung viel häufiger weg. Zuletzt Samstag, dann gerade eben. Hotline ist voll.. #fail

Kai Blin

Currently browsing the web looking for the cheapest way to store a ~10GB media repository for an open source project. Currently using svn

Kai Blin

So far no big surprises and a lot of sad reality in talk of sustainability of web services #eccb12

Kai Blin

biomedbridges mentioned in #elixir talk at http://ur1.ca/a72f6 #eccb12

Kai Blin

#elixir promising to provide tools that can be updated automatically? That I'd like to see. #magic #eccb12

Kai Blin

Unfortunately the #elixir talk focuses on the politics and finances of the project so far. Too bad. #eccb12

Kai Blin

#elixir talk makes me wonder how I as a scientist can provide a standardized interface to my data/analysis tools #eccb12

Kai Blin

Phew. #antiSMASH ran through the emergency power test just fine and should be accessible without problems now.
