It’s been a fun month at work! Below is a picture of my new Cisco 6509. It’s been a blast to play with and poke around. It’s nice to have good hardware to use and network planning is always.
On the software side I’ve been writing two software packages that shall be appearing in my code gallery soon. Submit_All is a package that allows biologists to submit a protein or DNA sequence and have it analysed by many programs at once on our cluster. The results are presented on a unified page and are cross-referenced. The second thing that I’ve been working on lately is a program to display sequences aligned with graphs and annotations. Good looking sequence displays are very lacking at the moment so I wanted to made something that will look pretty (hence the name Pretty_Seq *grin*). You can have a look below at the image of Pretty_Seq and the archive of Submit_All and see how I’m doing.
Chris Allan who I worked with at Group Telecom has come out to join the University working as a guru in the Light Microscopy lab. It’s cool to have someone from home to go out with. He’s been staying with Elizabeth and I for the last few weeks until he gets a place. Canadian world domination proceeds a pace…
This month promises to be fun at work!
