kanzurehm .. some people getting smart, just saw a paper on bioreactor design via CFD tools00:13
ybitlink?00:14
ybit-wikipapers ;)00:14
kanzurehit me with a brick in about 10 minutes, I'm saving a few papers at the moment00:14
ybitactually, that's not a bad idea00:14
kanzureand then I'll rsync with the server00:14
kanzureybit: what's not a bad idea?00:14
ybitwikipapers00:14
ybiti'm sure some people already collaborate through a wiki on papers00:15
ybitor atleast something similar00:15
kanzureWikiCFP is for Calls for Papers00:15
kanzurelast time I checked it wasn't extensively used .. I don't have time to dump all of the CFPs that I get into the wiki00:15
ybitgracias se?or00:15
kanzureI mean, theoretically it would be great if people actually used it00:15
kanzurebut alas00:15
kanzureone solution might be to suggest to them to have an 'incoming' page00:16
kanzurewhere people just autodump stuff00:16
kanzureand let it come through in any medium - forwarded emails to cfp@wikicfp.org or whatever, or through IM, or however, and then let volunteers formalize the information00:16
kanzureand properly tag it and whatever00:16
ybithmm00:19
* ybit searches for instruction on what to do with the ngc6940 images...00:20
kanzuresounds like a weird format00:20
kanzureastronomy?00:20
ybityeah00:20
ybiti had instructions written down somewhere...00:23
kanzurenuclear galaxy cluster = ngc ?00:23
kanzureJust trying to guess.00:23
ybitfind them better not take as long as it took you to find your quad core :P00:23
kanzureoh crap00:23
kanzureI just realized I did something very stupid00:23
ybit?00:23
kanzurein the building brains class today, the professor went over the 'perceptron' model00:23
kanzurewhich is this simple adjustable weight summation technique00:24
kanzurewith basically a single loop or something00:24
kanzureanyway, in the last few minutes of class I wrote some code on my paper00:24
kanzureand then typed it up on to the class discussion board00:24
kanzurewell, one of the projects for the class is to make a software project00:24
kanzureI think I just undermined that whole idea00:24
kanzurecrap :p00:24
ybithaha00:25
kanzurejoin #diybio00:26
ybitoh yeah, so ngc stands for "new galactic catalog"00:26
kanzurebah, I should have known that00:28
kanzureI remember looking up star charts at one point or something00:28
kanzuresince they make no sense to me00:28
* kanzure points out that the planet is moving through the galaxy too .. not just around the sun.00:28
kanzurehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laboratory_Information_Management_System00:30
kanzure'In fact, with the advent of SOA and other Web 2.0 technologies, today's (2007) LIMS is being defined as a complete ERP for the laboratory, no longer restricted to sample monitoring and results entry. Although it can be client-server or PC-based, it is increasingly web browser-based and provides a large assortment of functionality.'00:30
kanzurehrm, why did they have to call it LIMS though00:31
kanzureit's not information management, it's instrumentation and engineering00:31
kanzurePidgin crash.00:36
kanzureLarge-scale bioreactor design - there's something called a stir-tank where you do about 4000 rpm and stir the hell out of the algae/bacteria00:41
kanzurethere's a type of bioreactor that's the open-kind, the obvious sort00:41
kanzureso what about the hydroelectricityy generators below dams?00:41
kanzure*hydroelectricity00:41
ybiti guess you read the "EROI below five critical" email as well :)00:54
ybitthe article i asked about the other day should be in my email box any day now00:55
kanzureybit: EROI below five critical email?01:00
kanzurehuh?01:00
kanzurehttp://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/71003145/abstract 'Inverse metabolic engineering: A strategy for directed genetic engineering of useful phenotypes'01:00
kanzurewtf, do these guys understand what they claim to have?01:00
ybitEROI is from the [tt] mailing01:02
ybitlist01:02
kanzurecrap01:06
kanzurehttp://heybryan.org/~bbishop/docs/bioreactor/ <-- New papers uploaded. I had some more stuff on my terabyte array that I neglected to upload.01:42
kanzureHey cis-action.01:58
kanzuretodo - somebody remind me to go back through the /~bbishop/docs/bioreactor/ papers that I added earlier tonight and throw up commentary on the bioreactors page on the wiki02:29
* kanzure has some integrals to conquer.02:29
ybitso it's been about 10 minutes :P, kanzure, have you had time to find the paper on bioreactor design via CFD tools?02:47
kanzureyes02:47
kanzureit's in the directory now02:47
ybitk02:48

ybitdecent time waster: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eO9oseiCTdk&NR=1 03:10
kanzuredescription?03:11
kanzurebesides decent time waster :)03:11
ybitheh, it's a robot fish03:13
endedon't trust it03:13
ybitthink i have seen such a thing before03:14
endeit's just a matter of time before they make landfall and start taking over our cities03:14
ybiti'm really digging the transformer and hexapod robot vids03:14
ybitthe hexapod + cnc was was kind of a eureka moment03:15
kanzureWoah, you've been missing out on hexapods?03:15
ybityeah03:15
kanzureyes, now imagine car + cnc03:15
ybitcar + cnc? :P03:15
ybithmm, you'll have to explain that one fine sir03:15
kanzuredrive car03:16
kanzuredrill.03:16
ybithmm... i would say transformer with huge jet pack + cnc would beat the car any day03:16
ybit:)03:16
kanzureuh?03:17
kanzurepeople don't have hexapods, they have cars03:17
ybitbut people could ride a transformer in science fiction03:17
ybitcan*03:17
ybit-a03:17
ybitgrr, it's late03:17
ybitor even drive them03:18
kanzurehttp://sourceforge.net/projects/diyg/03:19
kanzure"do it yourself genomics"03:19
ybitanyway, somewhere, someone mentioned adding an extruder to the cnc hexapod so that it could build objects larger than itself. on that same page was a mention of a swarm of these, and that was interesting idea03:19
kanzureende: have you heard of the $0 genomics project?03:19
endenope03:19
kanzurehttp://personalgenomics.org/03:20
kanzurehttp://heybryan.org/mediawiki/index.php/$0_genomics_project03:20
kanzurehm03:20
kanzurebad link03:20
kanzurehttp://genomics.org/03:20
kanzurethere we go03:20
kanzurehttp://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=$0+genomics+project&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-803:21
kanzureall of those results are relevant03:21
endeur familiar with 23andme?03:21
kanzureof course03:21
endeSNPedia?03:21
kanzuredecodeme gives you the output file :)03:21
kanzureyes03:21
endefriend of mine runs the later03:21
kanzureDan Bolser works on SNPedia 03:21
kanzurehe comes in here as faceface03:21
endehm03:21
kanzurehangs out in #bioinformatics mostly03:22
endewonder if my guy knows him03:22
endeI mean, he should03:22
kanzurewho's your guy?03:22
endecariaso03:22
kanzuredoesn't ring a bell :)03:22
kanzuremy guy has guys that knows your guys? cool03:22
kanzure:-p03:22
endeI know he's at least cofounder03:23
kanzureSmall world.03:23
kanzureende: One of the decodeme SNP data sets on SNPedia is Jong Bhak's. Jong and Dan work together all the time.03:28
kanzureJong runs Korea's government/top-level bioinformatics program.03:28

kanzurebkero: Boston Globe?06:43
kanzureyeah, it was on diybio.org's mailing list today06:43
kanzurealso see #diybio06:43
kanzureand go poke  that maradydd person, she's an ex IDT employee doing some bacterial cultures in her home06:44
willPow3r_why in the hell does "peer" insist on resetting my connection09:17
-!- willPow3r_ is now known as willPow3r09:18
bkerokanzure: fix aging09:21
kanzurebkero: Go talk to Aubrey.11:50
kanzureOh, btw, Aubrey is looking for new students.11:50
kanzureI completely forgot to send off my resume his way11:50
kanzureup 9 days :)11:59
kanzureNeat.11:59
bkerokanzure_: don't think I have the qualifications17:07
bkerokanzure_: In aubrey's case I'd say he's trolling for new students. :P17:21
willPow3rhe's trying to spread his legacy, kanzure_ 19:19
willPow3rfresh minds19:21
willPow3rhe feeds off of them19:22
bkerowillPow3r: Are you saying Aubrey is a vampire?19:33

kanzure"Lets distinguish between the two major goals of AGI. The first is to automate the economy. The second is to become immortal through uploading." 21:26
kanzuregod I hate this mailing list21:26
kanzurebut it's like a soap opera21:26
kanzure"Anyone who runs around claiming that Disney has "enslaved some poor sentient AGI life forms and is making them lead abysmal lifestyles as glorified circus clowns for the entertainment of children" will be perceived as plain-old-nuts; any attempted lawsuit on such grounds would get instantly thrown out."21:35
kanzureHeh.21:36
ybitoi, what's new?22:42

willPow3rlunatic fringe?22:54
facefacenot really... like morawits (sp) and his 'ideas that push the limit of what we can imagine to prompt a discussion' type thing22:55
facefaceonly I am looking at cloning, gm etc.22:55
facefacehttp://bioblog5000.blogspot.com/22:56
facefaceI am curious if people who know my email address are gonna get 'pinged' through their lurk-sites when I post.22:57
facefacenight all22:57
willPow3rnight22:57
kanzureCan somebody go fetch the #diybio person?23:07
kanzurefaceface needs to stick around longer23:08
