kanzureAny matlab users?10:55

facefaceI use R11:02
facefaceis that matlab like?11:02
proctonot really11:03
proctognu octave is closer, as far as free stuff goes11:03
kanzureI'm willing to use octave, but I would really like a GUI11:05
kanzureI remember using octave a few months ago, it didn't look functional11:06
kanzureI might as well just have opened up vim and begin writing out my own python11:06
kanzureerm, perl11:06
kanzureI'm still a perl > python guy.11:06
facefacekanzure: there are ppl on #bioinformatics who use octave11:06
-!- Phreedom [n=freedom@www.online.dn.ua] has joined #hplusroadmap11:07
facefaceperl is nice11:08
kanzureI agree.11:09
kanzureI'm going to be doing some differential equations for a model, so I want to see what sort of visualizations and solvers I can come up with.11:09
kanzureActually, I'm not even sure why I really need a solver, I just want to adjust some constants and some other variables and see how that changes the maxima/minima.11:09
facefacebrowsign a linux distro package manager could be interesting11:09

ybitkanzure, i agree, it takes way too long to mass upload bookmarks to del.icio.us15:10
ybitit almost brought my computer to a halt way back when15:11
ybitnever tried it again 15:11
ybitthe comp. was certainly unusable for quite some time 15:11

kanzureHeh.16:10
kanzureMy point. :)16:10
kanzurefenn: They are complaining about the base pairing probabilities with the address space. 17:59
kanzurefenn: so they are coming up with these crazy models for doing all sorts of new biochemistry with things that aren't really proven yet17:59
kanzurefenn: I was wondering if you might remember what the hell I was thinking when I was planning xxDNA17:59
kanzureI thought we solved those problems?17:59
kanzureanother issue is that they are afraid that it all equilibriates to the same state, so there can't be separate components running on their own18:00
kanzureI'm pretty sure this is wrong18:00
kanzurefenn: I also came up with the selection experiments for the retarded polymerase for your writozyme18:00

wrldpcanyone played fold.it?20:58
wrldpchttp://fold.it/portal/adobe_main20:58
wrldpcI need to learn perl.20:59
kanzurehttp://perl.org/21:05
kanzurehttp://search.cpan.org/21:05
kanzureFamiliarize yourself with 'perldoc perltut'.21:05
kanzureTo solve the problems with the amorphous computing, we're going to write a general software framework to test out some different ideas on the constraints of kinetics and so on, but I still think that we had something going. We just need some numbers on the likelihood of nucleic binding, and seeing if that's enough to do what we want.21:15
Spliceri played it(fold.it)... I couldn't really get along with the GUI... I don't know how useful it actually is21:29
kanzureYou know, fold.it really makes sense in light of the compartmentalized evolution hypotheses of protein folding, and then the reverse of that evolutionary encoding (having everybody play around) is an interesting reverse attempt.21:31
Splicerit is etheitcally pleasing21:33
Splicer*esthetically21:33
fennwrldpc: perl is stupid. it's only good for regular expressions, which are now available in every language21:47
wrldpcheh21:49
kanzureperl makes your eyes bleed and rot in their sockets22:06
kanzurefenn: So I was pacing, and I came ot the conclusion that the amorphous computing bullshit problems are only because I've forgotten that it's the same situation that necessitated SKDB in the first place.22:06

kanzureyes, I've emailed Nau22:31
kanzurehe's hooking me up with some other guys (apparently)22:31
kanzurebased off of that last paper, wget -m -r http://www.design.caltech.edu/Research/Publications/ might not be a bad idea22:32
kanzurefenn: here's an idea22:36
kanzurewhat if you find one of the most basic articles, and then follow the chain of publications22:37
kanzurei.e. the 'cited by' link22:37
kanzurethen try traveling via (1) longest intervals between publications that cite the last one, or (2) maximizing the number of publications in a time interval, or some sort.22:37
kanzure"One of the major difficulties in extracting machining features is the lack of a systematic methodology to generate alternative ways of manufacturing a machined part."22:59
kanzurefenn: try the abstract to 'Modeling and specifications of dynamic agents in fractal manufacturing systems'23:04
