xp_prgno, I have a refrigerator with food in it00:00
xp_prgI just put the stuff in there00:00
kanzurefenn: dpkg was yakking about a dependency to libvtk5-qt4 specifically.00:00
kanzurexp_prg: I would strongly discourage mixing biological material storage with food storage.00:01
Gene_Hyou need about 3 peltier coolers00:01
fennwah00:01
Gene_Hstack them on top of each other00:01
Gene_Hpower up00:01
Gene_Hput in fridge00:01
kanzuredon't put in fridge00:01
kanzureblargh.00:01
* kanzure worries.00:01
Gene_Hgets down to very cold00:01
xp_prgdude I just did00:01
Gene_H-60 freezer temp00:01
xp_prgso like what temp does it need to be at?00:02
fennput ice in a bucket00:02
Gene_HKanzure don't worry about it, I've done stuff like that and nothing bad ever happened to me00:02
fennor styrofoam box if you're fancy00:02
kanzurexp_prg: pop quiz. is there anything wrong with storing your gel runs in a refridgerator?00:02
xp_prgdon't know, but I am just storing the raw contents that came in the box00:02
Gene_Hxp_prg description of what you are doing?00:02
kanzurespecifically a refrigerator that you use for food00:02
* kanzure reads the elmergui manual00:03
kanzurehttp://www.nic.funet.fi/index/elmer/doc/ElmerGUIManual.pdf00:03
katsmeow-afkjust an fyi you can discard, but if you do this on a larger scale, some dept stores now sell compact fridges for under $10000:03
xp_prgGene_H I ordered this:  00:04
xp_prg       Items00:04
xp_prg       Item#             ItemDescription                    QtyShipped00:04

Gene_Hheh00:04
Gene_HLABEL IT AS NOT FOOD00:04
kanzureGene_H: you're an idiot00:05
kanzurethat's not the point00:05
xp_prgso like do you think the cells died and stuff?00:05
kanzurefenn: wash your hands of this diybio shit while you still can00:05
Gene_Hwell how'd they ship it?00:05
xp_prgin a box00:05
Gene_Hwith?00:05
Gene_Hdry ice?00:05
xp_prgno00:05
fennkanzure: there are some smart people, they'll figure out how to make it work00:05
Gene_Hwell you may not need to00:05
kanzureever wonder why biology labs mount fucking turrets next to food refrigerators and shoot anyone with anything remotely looking like biological materials?00:05
katsmeow-afkyes00:06
Gene_Hkanzure did you hear the story about the people who developed artificial urine?00:06
kanzureGene_H: artificial urea?00:06
xp_prghello is my stuff messed up or not?00:06
fennxp_prg: go fuck yourself00:06
Gene_Hyeah for calibrating urine testing machines00:06
kanzureyay fenn.00:06
xp_prghahhaha00:06
xp_prghow come?00:07
kanzurexp_prg: I don't think you understand us00:07

kanzuredid I or did I not mention any health hazards in the last few minutes00:07
fennyou're such an ignorant demanding twit00:07
xp_prgdude is my shit fucked up or not?00:07
Gene_Hxp_prg, you idiot, you have to use staphlococcus00:07
kanzureanother pop quiz: is "your shit being fucked up" the biggest of your worries?00:07
xp_prgdude I just paid 80 bux for this thing00:07
kanzurewhat does that have to do with what I just asked you00:07
xp_prgits in containers and stuff I am sure it is safe while in the containers right?00:08
xp_prgI didn't open the little containers or anything00:08
Gene_Hso what are you going to do next?00:08
kanzureGene_H: please stop for the moment00:08
kanzurethis is kind of serious.00:08
xp_prgwell I am going to take it sf next weekend00:08
Gene_Hok, it seems you have no idea as to what you are doing00:10
Gene_Hso the best way to preserve biological samples is to add a cryoprotectant00:12
xp_prgok do you think my cells died and stuff though?00:13
Gene_Ha cryoprotectant allows biological samples to be stored at higher temperatures00:13
Gene_Hcommon household bleach is a great cryoprotectant00:13
Gene_Hif used in small quantities00:13
fennhuh. dpkg -i foo aborted and then apt-get -f install will get all the required packages for foo00:13
kanzurefenn: yes, that happened to me too00:14
kanzureI found it strange that it knew to do that00:14
Gene_Hif you use it in high quantities your cells die00:14
Gene_Hdilute it to about 20%00:14
kanzureGene_H: quantities? volumes maybe?00:14
Gene_Hyes volumes00:14
Gene_Hless than a drop should do00:16
Gene_Hremember, IT HAS TO BE LESS THAN A DROP or it doesn't work00:21
kanzurehttp://web.mit.edu/elmer_v5.3/tutorials_files/   hm. Maybe I'll use some of these.00:22
Gene_Hfirefox crashed again00:23
kanzuretoo many tabs.00:23
fennit seems elmerf90 wants to compile a file every time?00:23
kanzureevery time what?00:23
fennfor each simulation00:23
xp_prgyou guys are so hard to get help from00:23
fennwe are not DIYbio tech support00:24
fenntry #diybio (gasp)00:24
fennor better yet, read a book00:24
Gene_Hxp_prg, you have to add a cryoprotectant for you to store it in your refrigerator00:25
fennkanzure: the elmerfem-doc package has some nice pdf's00:26
xp_prgGene_H does it need to be refrigerated or not?00:26
xp_prgit says store in a dry cool place00:26
kanzurefenn: where are they put? /usr/share/blah/ ?00:26
fenn/usr/share/doc/elmerfem-doc/00:26
fennbtw dpkg -S is your minion00:27
kanzureaha.00:27
fenni should mention apt-file while i'm at it00:27
Gene_HIT NEEDS TO BE REFRIGERATED, BUT YOU HAVE TO ADD A CRYOPROTECTANT00:28
fennoh FFS the reason i was having a hard time is it's ElmerGUI not elmergui00:28
Gene_Hif you don't add a cryoprotectant it just dies00:28
xp_prgdude I don't hae a cryoprotectant shit00:29
fenncells will survive at room temp but they won't stay competent00:30
* xp_prg kills himself00:30
xp_prgwell I just put it in the fridge I hope that helps00:30
kanzurethat's what we've been getting at.00:30
fennaw man it's one of those apps that segfaults if you look at it wrong00:32
kanzureyeah :(00:32
kanzurebut apparently there are some tools under the hood that should be used anyway00:32
kanzureif I can figure out how. looking at those PDFs now.00:32
kanzureor first the examples.00:32
Gene_HWHAT'S THIS! NOW ADOBE ACROBAT IS CRASHING ON ME!00:35
kanzureooh, ElmerTutorials.pdf *is* nice.00:36
Gene_Hand I can't read it, because ADOBE is broken00:37
kanzureyou don't even have dpkg00:37
fennit seems like it runs but i dont get any colors in the result (just all blue)00:53
kanzurethat's farther than I've gotten00:53
kanzurehow'd you manage to get there?00:53
kanzureneat, there's a t-cross microfluidic tutorial00:56
fenncopy /usr/share/elmerfem-doc/tutorials_files to your ~00:56
katsmeow-afkwierd, i just had to kill adobe too, it was hung but using 97%cpu forever00:56
fennthen open TemperatureAngleGUI/angle.grd00:56
fennthen run-> run solver; then start postprocessor and postprocess and open case.ep00:56

fenni dunno how to run the non-GUI tutorials00:58
kanzurehrm.00:58
kanzureokay, I see the all-blues.00:58
fenni guess i should follow the tutorial pdf00:58
kanzurefenn: the TemperatureAngleGUI demo seems to only be showing the first timestep00:59
kanzureerm, nevermind00:59
kanzurethe output file is data3d.ep according to one of the model config menus.01:00

kanzureE-011, geeze.01:02
xp_prgwhat you guys doing?01:03
fennhm crashes every time i click on 'edit solver settings' in the equations window01:03
kanzuresame here.01:03
fennok i'll just not do that01:04
fennwhere do i set density and heat conductivity?01:04
kanzuremodel -> material01:04
kanzureI never see anything like heat* under model->equation even though some screenshots show that there should be something01:07
-!- Gene [i=Gene@wireless-128-62-97-56.public.utexas.edu] has joined #hplusroadmap01:07
kanzureI think the "edit solver settings" crash bug is probably critical to all of this, fenn.01:14
kanzurehttp://elmerfem.wiki.sourceforge.net/Getting+started+with+ElmerGUI might give a hint as to what "Edit Solver Settings" is for.01:14
fennthey should just provide a .sif file01:15
kanzuresome of the sif files seem to have weird paths in ! lines at the top01:17
kanzurewhich might be why the non-GUI tutorials do not work01:17
kanzureerm, except for not having the file you actually need01:18
kanzure(grd)01:18

Gene_Haccidently a whole adobe acrobat01:27
fennok well this has ceased being fun01:33
fenni thought from the pretty screenshots that it would .. work01:34
kanzureseems to be working for me (it's at time=400)01:34
kanzure(in the "convergence history" window)01:34
fennthat just means it's not a steady state01:35
kanzureeh.01:35
fenni dont get any results because i cant define the initial conditions because the GUI is fubared and all the example files are fubared01:35
kanzurehm, I have 140 threads from [Elmerdiscussion]01:36
fennif you're serious about trying to get it to work i think you will have to compile from source01:38
kanzureI wonder if there is a source package in that repo.01:39
Gene_Hthat's it, screenshots01:41
Gene_HI don't have to fix adobe, I can just take scrceenshots of what I'm reading01:41
fennyou can just take a picture of the screen with a video camera and upload it to youtube01:42
Gene_Hthat would reduce the quality01:42
fennmake sure to slowly pan across the text and add dramatic music01:42
Gene_Hyou know that's the way they used to make movies of video games01:42
Gene_Hadding music would circumvent copyright01:43
fennis that so01:43
Gene_Hyou know the only way to make a video of gameboy games is to use a video camera?01:44
Gene_Hsad isn't it?01:44

Gene_Hyeah I guess so01:46
kanzureuh oh, why can't I access my server01:48
kanzurewhy can't I access anything?01:48
kanzurebut anyway, fenn, it works.01:49

Gene_Hand more quality than a kazoo02:10
Gene_Hkazoo's just resonator02:10
Gene_Hperhaps it could be used as a clock in a fluidic computer02:11
fennas an oscillator, but you'd want a square wave for the clock02:11

kanzureno02:17
Gene_Hhuh I guess so02:20
kanzureI can't seem to figure out how to change the number of generated resulting states, or whatever02:22
kanzurein the sif file, there's timestep-sizes=1, timestep-intervals=blah, output intervals=blah, max iterations=blah, max outputlevel = blah,02:23
kanzureand none of these can be knobbed into producing the apparently 4 different samples that VTK is displaying for some reason.02:23

fenncould you explain what that means?06:51
fennor at least why you think we'd be interested06:52
fenni understand what uncertainty is and most of the distributions06:53
UtopiahGHMLresistance of material, thus can be used in simulations to see if a designed object will hold06:54
UtopiahGHMLthus useful for modelling06:54
UtopiahGHMLdidn't try it myself so i wont  be able to say more06:55
fennhonestly i think it's more work than it's worth06:55
fennif something is close enough to failure for the shape of the uncertainty to matter, you should probably revise it anyway06:56
fennmaybe siai would be interested for their end-of-the-world scenarios06:57
UtopiahGHMLwell they use it in large projects (mil. nasa. etc) so I guess passed a certain treshold of investment it's a worthy filter06:57

kanzurehuh, I wonder if what I was observing yesterday with the fluid-filled cavity microchannel thingy, with the curvature of the water due to the four parallel lines, was actually a display of a cone of the water, i.e. the edges were all constrained, and water surface tension allowed there to be the formation of a cone.19:39
kanzurefreezing the contraption would show if that's the case methinks19:39
kanzure(then just take off one of the sides and look at the ice's structure)19:39

kanzuredoes DNA sequencing by mass make sense?21:52

kanzure(just jotting down some notes)22:54
kanzure135.13 g/mol, 126.11 g/mol, 151.13 g/mol, 111.1 g/mol (A, T, G, C). Hrm. So a mass-based sequencing approach would need to be able to discriminate at the scale of 10^-23 grams. That's not much.23:01

kanzurefenn: I just fwd'd you a guy who wants to pay me to make him a CNC table.23:31
kanzurehe emailed me, I called him back as soon as I got it, we chatted, he has a small factory in San Antonio, has some cash to spend on this23:31
kanzurehe already has the table, just needs the electronics installed or something23:33
kanzurealso, BioMors suggested a needle to poke a hole in a plastic slide for the mf-devices. I was thinking of just jamming a straw between two slides.23:35

kanzurebecause microfluidic is way too much of a buzzword23:37
Geneok, so on the sharpie mfs I just found a problem23:38
kanzureyeah?23:38
Genehow do you pump stuff throught it23:38
kanzuredid you read the paper?23:38
Geneok send it to me23:38
Genenever mind dont23:38
GeneI got it23:38

kanzurebasically they made one slide very hydrophobic by soaking it in piranha23:39
kanzurenow, if you wanted to pump it, there's a few different ways that I can imagine that happening23:39
kanzure(1) seal the slides together (but make sure there's still a spacer inside)23:39
kanzure(2) poke a hole with a needle, attach a straw, blow your lungs out23:39
kanzure(3) possibly use electrical conduction.23:39
kanzureanyway, trying it with a hydrophobic slide is a must. I just didn't do it because I didn't realize how simple a concoction piranha actually is23:40
kanzureit's like hydrogen peroxide plus hydrogen sulfate23:40
kanzureerm, it's H2SO4, not hydrogen sulfate. Sorry.23:40
