Hi, holy paper tux! check out the video!

[Binari] Radiohead - Nude
by Kenny Billiau 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

Hi, maybe some of you heard of the Nude remix contest, and eventhough this guy missed the deadline, it is by far one of the nicest things I've seen with old hardware. The whole song of Radiohead done with a scanner, an array of harddrives, a dot matric printer and an oscilloscope. http://www.vimeo.com/1109226 You'll have to scroll through the first minute or so before the actual song starts. -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)ugent.be http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be ================================================================== "Never get out of the boat" -- Chef, APN

[Binari] Indoor solar powered calendar display
by Kenny Billiau 17 Apr '09

17 Apr '09

Hi, http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/articles/radish.html The video itself is kind of boring, the text is ok, but the concept rocks! And I'm not talking about the low powered calenders, they're cool too, but about the 20% projects time concept. Anything to innovate, or free roaming ideas can be executed this way :) This is far better then a yearly brainstorm! -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)ugent.be http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be ================================================================== "Never get out of the boat" -- Chef, APN

[Binari] BOGAS BABES
by Kenny Billiau 17 Apr '09

17 Apr '09

Hi, maybe as a way to promote BOGAS online and to make sure we don't get called BOGUS too many times, isn't it time to get a undeniably great new acronym or name for this online annotation system? The criteria: - good google hits for the word only (extra points for unique one word hits!) - not easy to rephrase into something ludicrous The best acronym I've found so far is: - BABES: Bioinformatics Annotation and Browsing Euhm System (aka Boobs And Beer Equals) (this would be so great to mention on a resume or a tshirt: I work for BABES. It beats 'I work for Lieven' any day ;)) - BOA: Bioinformatics Online Annotation (and we get a kewl logo too! (probably a snake strangling the PLAZA logo?)) And some I found back as a suggestion in 2007: - (bio)SOA: System for Online Annotation (Works great for a tshirt again: I work with SOA) (We would directly have a slogan: "Because annotating is so contagious") - OAPS (Online Annotation Portal System: "OAPS! Let's correct it") - biongeant (BIoinformatics ONline GEnome ANnotation sysTem) (sound very good in French, no?) - O!Gant (Online! Genome ANnot sysTem. And also a clever way to promote Gent. (And O!Zwijnaarde doesn't really sound right)) - iAnnot (just to step onto the web 2.0 iPod generation train) Does anyone have any other contributions? I can gather all responses and votes to see if one sticks out.. -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)ugent.be http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be ================================================================== "Never get out of the boat" -- Chef, APN

[Binari] non-greedy perl regex
by Esther-Kristin Lather 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

Hi! How can I make this Regex greedy? my ($seq) = ($var =~m/^(.*_{0,1}\d+)\s.*/); if $var is "ara_prot.tfa_3154 | AT1G26170.1 | no family", I want to cut after the first whitespace so that $seq becomes be "ara_prot.tfa_3154" and not "ara_prot.tfa_3154 | AT1G26170.1". I don't know where/ how to include the ? for non-greedy search. I would want to do it with round brackets, but that violates the round brackets I already use for getting a part of the string, no? Thanks for any suggestions! Esther.
