[Binari] a new one in the hall of shame :/

DB abstraction is not always that easy .. especially if you automaticly retrieve records which have relations between each other Gene has many history History has a Status History has a User Status has a User ... User has many Gene :/ I think the machine is trying the swap it's way back to life ;) And instead of calling that program on the commandline, so you could simply ctr+c it, I've called it with RPC ;) This way the webserver locks up, logging into the machine is 'waiting' .. and trying to restart apache requires 3 inputs ;/ (instead of the simpel ctrl+c) https://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be/knowledge/wiki-bioinformatics/hall_of_s… -- ================================================================== Kenny Billiau Web Developer Tel:+32 (0)9 331 36 95 fax:+32 (0)9 3313809 VIB Department of Plant Systems Biology, Ghent University Technologiepark 927, 9052 Gent, BELGIUM kenny.billiau(a)psb.ugent.be http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be ==================================================================

[Binari] wishlist
by Kenny Billiau 11 Sep '08

11 Sep '08

Hi, as requested, we compiled a wishlist :) - mapping of drives at home. For windows machines and for linux machines. It would be nice to have NFS mounts instead of having to fiddle with SMB/CIFS and messing up our permissions. - authenticated svn that is accessible outside the building without tricks. Now we have to svn -L through midas to get to the svns at psbdev. - we would like to able to mail jar files, both incoming and outgoing. - (http)access to psbdev01 from outside. So we would have a way of testing websites, java webstart, access to the hosted bugTrackers. - No extra restrictions on private laptops? (working scp, ssh-ing to psb{dev|sql} servers from within the building without going through midas) -Kenny

[Binari] new scientific insights
by Esther-Kristin Lather 10 Sep '08

10 Sep '08

Yesterday, I realized the following two things: 1. We don't have to do any more research about cloning or creating organisms in the lab. There are people somewhere who have already solved the problem. 2. Watson and Crick were wrong: It's not Guanine, Cytosine, Adenine and Thymine! Convince yourself (and choose the so called 'genetic print-out'): http://www.escapetheroomgames.net/view/515/Prism-Core.htm Have fun! Esther. PS: Sorry for mailing things that belong into the BEGfun-maillinglist, but I'm not a member and I don't know if it's really well established yet...

Hi, http://blog.macromates.com/2008/working-with-history-in-bash/ I knew how to get your history file to remember all your previous commands, but saving and appending from all closing bash shells, I hadn't found yet. :) -Kenny -- ================================================================== Kenny Billiau Web Developer Tel:+32 (0)9 331 36 95 fax:+32 (0)9 3313809 VIB Department of Plant Systems Biology, Ghent University Technologiepark 927, 9052 Gent, BELGIUM kenny.billiau(a)psb.ugent.be http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be ==================================================================
