ybitwhat up kanzure23:38
ybitare you aware of bricklet?23:38
kanzureBricklet?23:39
kanzureSounds like a java applet.23:39
kanzureNo.23:39
ybitbricklet.org23:39
ybiti've checked out the source through svn + sourceforge23:39
ybitit's neat23:39
kanzureAh, so I noticed they mention freebase, so I think they might have the right idea, if it integrates with obofoundry, sbml and expo, that'd be great.23:40
kanzureYes, it mentions CellML.23:40
ybitit's a couple guys from diybio23:41
ybitMackenzie Cowell and Jason Morrison23:41
kanzureYes, I'm on the brickit standards team.23:41
kanzureWithout knowing it. :)23:41
ybit:P23:42
kanzureNo, but seriously. http://biobricks.org/pipermail/standards_biobricks.org/23:42
ybitreading the README.txt file shows that PRBB (prbb.org) have contributed to the project23:42
kanzureI'm not sure I like university. Why are they making a class about Microsoft Excel to be mandatory?23:42
ybityou should skip it23:43
kanzureit's required :(23:43
ybitthere are tests you can take to skip such courses23:43
kanzureYeah, but then I'd have to go learn some stuff about Excel.23:43
kanzureWhy not use Open Office?23:43
kanzureOr why not just write some real programs to do your calculations?23:43
kanzureSetting up a mysql database takes less than a minute, and even less with SQLite or something less monstrous.23:44
kanzureAlso, it has me running around all the time doing absolutely nothing.23:45
kanzureI haven't been able to get anything done in the past week, and I have lost so many trains of thought that it isn't funny any more. Now it's just sick.23:45
ybitthis chat channel has been dead without you in here :P23:49
ybitsrsly, no one responded to my question earlier: [22:31] <ybit> so who is everyone in here?23:49
kanzureThat's strange.23:50
kanzureSo, let's see.23:51
kanzurefenn is http://fennetic.net/23:51
kanzurensh is a bot23:51
kanzurepercent_ is our magical access point for equipment23:51
kanzurePhreedom is doing what we want to do, except for credit23:51
ybitaha23:51
kanzureSplicer runs http://biopunk.org/23:51
percent_Wait, I am?23:51
kanzureybit just showed up :)23:51
kanzurepercent_: Aren't you? :)23:51
ybitheh23:51
kanzurefacefaceface is our bioinformatics guy23:52
kanzurefreer I'm not sure about23:52
percent_Depends on what you need :-)23:52
kanzureprocto also just showed up :)23:52
kanzurewrldpc met me through the MAKE magazine article on us23:52
percent_wait23:53
percent_who wrote an article on us23:53
percent_So what's this CellML?23:53
kanzureCellML is a markup language for bioinformatics information23:53
percent_Link to information23:53
kanzureThe idea is to use it with http://expo.sf.net/ and get it integrated23:54
kanzuremeh, probably http://cellml.org/23:54
kanzureif not, try http://sbml.org/23:54
kanzureAnd if you search for 'open synthetic biology toolkit' you'll see MAKE.23:54
ybitwell that was helpful, thanks for naming everyone :)23:54
kanzurehttp://blog.makezine.com/archive/2008/02/an_open_source_synthetic.html23:54
percent_I also sell drugs and booze, if you're interested23:54
percent_Should we speak FASTA, GFF, or CellML?23:55
kanzureGFF?23:55
kanzurehttp://cellml.org/23:55
kanzurehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CellML23:55
kanzurehttp://www.cellml.org/examples/repository/ ;-)23:55
percent_So what are we speaking, standardized, in our little biohacker world?23:56
kanzurehttp://23:56
kanzurewww.physiome.org/jsim/models/cellml/23:56
kanzureWell, this isn't exactly the right standardization that we are interested in. It's close, and it's going to be useful, but it's nothing about the physical instrumentation that we're going to be needing.23:56
percent_You and I need to get together and organize. After I do this homework.23:56
kanzureIt's nice to have information formalized from the many data sets that various researchers are collecting and constructing, yes, but at the same time we need to be able to interface this with our own worlds that we have -- otherwise it's just the AI grounding problem all over again.23:57
kanzurehttp://heybryan.org/mediawiki/index.php/CHE_210 <-- Most pointless class, ever.23:58
kanzurehttp://heybryan.org/mediawiki/index.php/UT <-- list of all chemical engineering classes.23:58
