This little http://linuxwave.blogspot.co…
This linux info snippet worked perfectly to add some extra space to a DomU Xen image. Been struggling with this for too long but this made it painless!

Trying to run KohGPI but needed to find SPRANNLIB which is not available for what I can see – but found GNU-i-fied version in clibs directory of http://sourceforge.net/projects/rlabplus/files/rlab/
This implementation also depends on the GNU Scientific Library (GSL) which you’ll need to build and install beforehand.
Then to build SPRANNLIB download and untar the rlab archive. Go to ‘clibs/sprannlib/src’ and type make. If things are in order it will make a library in ../lib called libsprann.a spr_$ARCH.a where $ARCH is your architecture (x86_64, etc).
The .a files can be deployed in your normal place for manual (non-RPM/DEB) installations (/usr/local/pkg/sprannlib for me with symlinks to the libraries in /usr/local/lib). Then go back and build kohgpi but you may need to update the Makefile so that the library paths point to your sprannlib installation location.

I haven’t compared them yet, not – Tom did this for the Coccidioides project and they don’t overlap that much.
As it turns out this whole post is a little unnecessary as the compiled version that comes with the download for KohGPI works on most linux installs anyways, but it was good to at least figure out how to go from scratch if need be.-

Yeah, I was just doing the comparison, and there is not much overlap. Ah well.

I found SPRANNLIB file, but I had many problems trying to compile it.

Hi. I’m looking for Sprannlib but can’t find it. Has any of you a tarball ?
-
Jason Stajich
Did you go to the source forge page I referred to? That is where you can get the library and hence this post…
-
Fabien
Yes, I did. But R Lab Plus doesn’t include SprannLib anymore. Nonetheless, after a second look, I found out that a compiled version of kohgpi is included in the source tarball. And fortunately, it is compiled for the same architecture that I am using. Thanks, for your up.

Hi. Do you know if there is anyway to have big-PI source code ?

Contact the author of rlabplus for the original sources of the library. I bet he has saved them for reference.

MakerFaire 2009
Kinetic Arts, originally uploaded by jason.stajich.
Had a fun day at MakerFaire 2009 – quite overwhelmed by the things to see and do. Picked up a few fun wood art+science piece for my new office. I loved what Xylocopa makes – check them out, one of the pair is a lifesciences graduate student and also an artist drawing some deliciously detailed designs.
We also saw some more fun kinetic art like this piece as well as a some more art pieces from kinetic artist and friend Benjamin Cowden.
I also really want a 3D printer now – just need to figure out how we’ll actually (i.e. in lab) the scanned micrographs turned into 3D models of fungal cells…
My Flickr album plus lots more from others with makerfaire and makerfaire2009 tags.

MonkeyTeX: Online LaTeX Editor
In case you and your collaborators are geeky enough to use LaTeX but not geeky enough to use something like SVN or CVS you can collaborate with MonkeyTeX.

I’m sure you’re aware of it, but I’m spreading the word to as many people as possible – LyX is awesome.
I wrote my thesis in it — it does most things that LaTeX does, has decent bibtex interaction (pull down citeulike as bibtex, clean up with bibtool + custom perl, load into LyX), has change tracking + reviewing, built-in versioning, document inclusion (child documents), easy tables + images + math, export to OpenOffice/rtf/txt/html (via texmf) plus all the WYSIWYM goodness.

LyX is really good. Anyway, if you do not want to install any software to use LaTeX you could try an online LaTeX editor like http://latexlab.org or http://www.verbosus.com which support HTTPS, syntax highlighting, code completion, etc.

BOSCing
(Picture from Todd ‘s iPhone during BOSC in Vienna today).
I give a BioPerl update talk today and looking forward to catching up with friends over dinner and beers.
Other people like Greg are blogging about the conference and we’ll hopefully put up some pictures at the OBF gallery as soon as they are available.
-
Chris Fields
I think me, Sendu, and the rest of the BioPerl devs owe you a beer (or twenty). Thanks for doing the talk; hopefully if everything works out I’ll be there next go around!

Breathtaking way to interact with images
A demo at the TED conference shows some pretty breathtaking views of some new software call photosynth and their approaches to interact with large sets of images and also to gather images of the same thing and merge them into composite images. I’m not quite sure if this can be applied to genomics visualization, but some of the ideas of stitching together these images would be interesting.
See the video on the TED site or lower res on youtube.
I found this first at Biocurious.com.

Thanks J. For both the visit and the science!
Best,

Fabien, and 3 others are discussing. 
Venky are discussing. 
Thanks for the tip Jason!
Did you compare against big-PI? I am about to do that now.
