fennthis guy does piezo ceramics and free form extrusion of colloids: http://smay.okstate.edu/14:02
kanzurehaha :) I have people telephoning me about my edits to the wikipedia article on h+14:24
kanzureyou still need to get back to me re: that todo list I wrote up14:27
kanzurewhile searching for a chem book for somebody in ##chemistry, I ran into my old post re: furnaces and metal casting over at http://www.scienceforums.net/forum/showpost.php?p=347743&postcount=214:28
fenni'm reading about semantic web/DTD right now14:31
fennzinc furnace is nothing special, a stove will do14:31
fenni see you have no links about lost foam casting14:35
kanzureas you read up on DTD see if it's anything we can use14:36
fennadd this to your casting bookmarks http://buildyouridea.com/foundry/lost_foam_howto/lost_foam_howto.html14:37
fennam wondering how to represent those pictures in words and still be able to understand it14:39
fennmaybe svg diagrams is the way to go14:40
fennxml schema is the new, improved DTD14:41
fennoh, xml Schema14:42
fennapparently schema is any sort of data specification14:42
kanzureI don't know what DTD provides that BNF/grammars do not14:48
kanzureI just timed my browser - it takes me 40 seconds to add a bookmark now. I have 233 tabs open that I want to bookmark. I could do it all at once, but I want to sort them (sorting takes ~5 sec per link). so that's 4 hours14:49
kanzurethere has to be a better way14:49
kanzuretechnically adding the bookmark is near instantaneous14:50
kanzurebut then I want to edit it and add a description14:50
kanzureopening up the prompt to edit it takes 20 seconds14:50
kanzureand then saving the prompt takes another 2014:50
kanzurethis is in Opera's bookmark manager14:50
kanzureihttp://www.polonator.org/15:18
kanzurehttp://polonator.org/15:18
kanzureworking, open source sequencer15:18
fennmaybe it takes so long to open your bookmarks because you have ten thousand of them15:50
kanzurenonsense!16:10
kanzurewhy load them all at once16:10
kanzurethat's stupid16:10
fennwhy does it take 20 seconds to open a bookmark editor?16:12
fennis it kde? i notice stuff takes forever to load in kde16:12
fennlaunch bookmark editor from a terminal emulator16:13
kanzureit's Opera16:20
kanzureit was 20 seconds on Windows too16:20

kanzurefacefaceface: http://polonator.org/ - pyrosequencing is awesome16:52
kanzureI added some notes: http://heybryan.org/mediawiki/index.php/DNA_sequencer#Open_source_sequencer_-_the_Polonator 17:08
fennhow do you get the zetabyte number17:25
fenndoes pyrosequencing use random primers? why not just use the last bit of the last sequence as the primer for the next sequence?17:30
fennit doesnt matter if it takes a day to synthesize th sequence - you can have thousands of 'inchworms' going at a time17:31
fennon the same polonator17:31
fennwtf does polonator mean anyway17:31
fenn"Polonies are discrete clonal amplifications of a single DNA molecule, grown on a solid-phase surface."17:33
kanzurefenn: zetabyte from a Regahi presentation. He's the guy that came up with pyrosequencing. This is for new genome sequencing, not resequencing, of course.18:08
kanzurehttp://www.mgrc.com.my/eminent_speaker_Ronaghi.shtml18:09
kanzureI believe it was section 4 or 518:09
kanzurehttp://snpedia.com/ - it's weird to already be registered on a website that I've never before seen.18:11

kanzurea few months ago I was buying lots of scifi books, 18:33
kanzureJoan Slonczweski's "Brain Plague" was near the top of my list18:33
kanzureJoan is running that microbewiki ...18:33
kanzurehehe18:33
