klafkai didn't realize he wrote a book on open access publishing08:05
klafkaoh because it came out this mont08:06

kanzuredelinquentme: haha just saw your diybio email..09:22
kanzuresorry you haven't got feedback heh09:23
delinquentmei gotta post it more places as well09:23
delinquentmeand I really only need 1 lab to say " YES"09:23
delinquentmeand im in business09:23
klafkai hate when you get distracted reading pizza blogs instead of working09:25
klafkadammit09:25
kanzurepizza blogs.. yeah that happens often for me??09:25
klafkaidk why09:26
klafkai don't even eat pizza atm09:26
kanzuredelinquentme: you and fenn should meet up and sell robots to labs09:26
kanzurehave you met him yet? you've been in sf for at least two weeks now right?09:27
delinquentmenah im back in PA09:27
kanzurelame :/09:27
delinquentmeflew back yoostardah09:27
kanzureoh well. he's probably better at interneting anyway.09:27
delinquentmeyeah i need to get out there09:27
-!- devrandom [~devrandom@gateway/tor-sasl/niftyzero1] has joined ##hplusroadmap09:28
delinquentmetheres a few companies who are calling me n shit09:30
delinquentmebut like09:30
delinquentmeTHEY NO SCIENCE09:30
delinquentmeY U NO .. GOOD FOR HUMANITEH!?09:30
delinquentmefenn, yuno?09:30
delinquentmeand kanzure what is fenn aboot?09:30
kanzurefenn is the other skdb developer09:30
kanzurehttp://fennetic.net/09:31
delinquentmeohhhhh ic ic09:31
delinquentmebut you know what im saying about the 60 grand machine thing09:34
delinquentmeits like heres an open source version of your M3 .. which you can build for 10 grand09:34
delinquentmemaybs its just the build it and fucking make it all work09:34
kanzurewell think of it this way- how many diybio projects are using liquid handling machines? right now? none..09:34
kanzurewait what? it cost you 10k?09:35
delinquentmeand like everything in science its gnashed and and cursed upon till its wholly apparent09:35
delinquentmenah I havnt prototyped it yet09:35
delinquentmeand it can be made cheaper09:35
kanzureoh this is 00209:35
kanzuredoh09:35
delinquentmethe current setup with a full 12 stack would be under 10g09:36
delinquentme12 blades09:36
klafkawhat are you basing your design off of?09:36
kanzureshit i thought this was 00109:36
delinquentmeklafka, im not sure I follow?09:36
kanzureand that you were re-announcing it for some reason09:36
delinquentmeoh09:37
delinquentmenoted.09:37

kanzurehttps://github.com/delinquentme/LH002/raw/master/images/LH002_full_05.png09:37
klafkai mean are you basing your design off another pre-existing liquid handling machine09:37
klafkalike09:37
kanzurehttps://github.com/delinquentme/LH00109:37
kanzurehttps://github.com/delinquentme/LH00209:37
delinquentmeklafka, i guess i'd say that its based around a tecan evo .. but with less wasted space for the applications of biology09:37
klafkaif you're comparing it to a 60 grand machine09:37
delinquentmeyeahh thats what she looks like :D09:37
klafkathen you clearly have competition09:37
kanzuredelinquentme: quick suggestion.. dump the google docs file into the git repo09:38
delinquentmeand apparently github sucks for image hosting .. so i need to imgur it09:38
kanzureeh09:38
delinquentmeklafka, yeah I definitely had the tecans in mind when designing it09:38
klafkahow  do you know btw, that your design will work?09:39
kanzuresorry gitduino or other git-based hardware hosting isn't up yet09:39
kanzureklafka: he built LH00109:39
klafkaoh you did?09:39
klafkanice09:39
kanzurehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY5IY5CZ1es09:39
klafkaso are you trying to turn this into like os hardware?09:39
klafkaor trying to get a company to take your design and sell it and market it09:40
klafkalike george church did09:40
delinquentmeklafka, yeah it currently is up on github09:40
delinquentmelike all the files you need to print the parts09:40
delinquentmeoh never thought about that...09:40
delinquentmethis was with his MAGE machine?09:40
klafkapolonator09:41
delinquentmewow09:42
delinquentmehaha so much to do09:42
delinquentmeklafka, thanks for the heads up on that09:42
klafkaindeed09:42
klafkanp09:42
delinquentmethermo said they were interested but i didnt know companies operate like that09:43
delinquentmeSO09:43
delinquentmeits like always FINISH IT!!!!09:43
kanzuredid thermo understand that it's about open hardware?09:43
delinquentmeyeah09:44
kanzurereaallly how fascinating..09:44
delinquentmethe specific branch is just interested in stitching together stuff for labs09:44
delinquentmelike its the common09:44
delinquentme" we need it all for 10 grand"09:44
kanzurethey do one-off consulting projects?09:45
kanzureok09:45
kanzurehey i forget is there an open source syringe pump yet? or is that still in the pipeline09:45
klafkasyringe pump?09:46
klafkaalso is there an oss micropippetter09:46
kanzureah yep http://blog.reprap.org/2005_03_01_archive.html09:46
kanzurehttp://staff.bath.ac.uk/ensab/replicator/Pix/syringe-pump-h.jpg09:46
kanzure"The RP syringe pump. The only non-RP parts are the syringe (which only costs a few pence), a length of M5 studding plus an M5 nut, four M3 screws, and the motor (245-6089; available from RS Components - click the link). We have a later versions with an optical counter on the motor shaft for precise metering, with heating jackets, and a whole range of different capacity syringes."09:47
kanzurewell fuck all this other shit09:47
kanzurethat's the primary component you need for diybio-style microfluidics09:47
kanzurehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNdARr_t1dQ09:49
delinquentmevery nice!09:50
delinquentmewho is working on this??09:50
kanzurei wrote some crummy software to generate svg-based designs for lab on a chip stuff, but it never went anywhere09:50
kanzurei got a laser cutter and did test prints09:50
klafkawhat is diybio actually doing that's interesting09:51
kanzurebut it was just surface tension stuff09:51
klafkafrankly it seems to me the cost of biotech hasn't really reached the hacker level09:51
klafkawe're in pre-altair days09:51
kanzureklafka: the LA group is doing some pretty cool projects09:52
klafkaoh?09:52
kanzurelike their neural tissue culture, directed evolution/selection of an extremophile and genome sequencing thereof..09:52
klafkainteresting09:52
klafkathat's gotta be a _lot_ of cash still09:52
klafkawell if they're doing full genome sequencing09:52
delinquentmei need learning hacks09:53
kanzurethey also pcr'd out a copy of gfp from squid or whatever09:53
delinquentmelearning fucking takes too long09:53
klafkathat's interesting09:53
kanzureklafka: nope they are collaborating with beijing genome institute for that09:53
kanzureklafka: http://diyhpl.us/wiki/transcripts/open-science-summit-2011/joyce-peng-beijing-genomics-institute.txt09:53
klafkaoh god bgi09:53
klafkalol09:53
klafkabgi scares me09:53
klafkaanyway09:53
klafkatime for hair cut09:53
kanzureyep :)09:53
delinquentmeyeah that was nothing more than a commercial09:53
delinquentmefor bgi09:53
kanzuredelinquentme: sure.. but maybe klafka didn't know about them09:53
delinquentmere hev sequencers and gov money09:54
kanzuredelinquentme: i'm surprised how a lot of the audience didn't know about their 140+ sequencers09:54
delinquentmewell thats why you advertise!09:54
delinquentme*grumbles*09:54
kanzurehaha but it was huge news a few years back09:54
kanzureso that presentation09:54
kanzuresaid that they were using github09:54
delinquentmeoh ps i was mentioned on derek lowes blog :D09:54
kanzurethey had a screenshot and i tried to get the url09:54
kanzurehttps://github.com/ehec-outbreak-crowdsourced/BGI-data-analysis09:54
kanzurebut they deleted the actual repo or something..09:54
kanzureso this is just the 1/100th-ly-sized repo09:54
klafkadude they ordered like 30 or something pacbio sequencers too09:55
kanzurencbi will be crushed09:56
kanzuredemolished. raped.09:56
delinquentmethe NCBI data is safe09:56
kanzurei mean in terms of data input :)09:56
delinquentmenexus and google collabo assured that09:56
kanzurewhere are you going to put all those hundreds of petabytes hmm09:56
delinquentmeif you didnt hear about that09:56
delinquentmeso should I move to the bay and work at random company09:57
delinquentmeor stay in pitt and work @ cmu and do collaboratings09:57
delinquentmeI think cmu is where its going to be at09:57
kanzureyou will probably not find a job that intersects everything you want.09:57
kanzureso you could either do random collaborations that probably won't pay09:58
kanzureor you can do a startup with fenn or on your own09:58
kanzurebut even then it's not a guarantee that any money will come of it09:58
delinquentmekanzure, who was the designer on the syringe pump09:59
kanzuredunno.. adrian bowyer would know09:59
kanzureadrian bowyer <a.bower@bath.ac.uk>10:00
kanzureoops10:00
kanzureadrian bowyer <a.bowyer@bath.ac.uk>10:00
kanzurehuh, http://people.bath.ac.uk/ensab/G_mod/Svlis/10:02
kanzurei didn't know about that geometric kernel. it seems to be based on subdivision of surfaces.10:02
TechnicusHello . . . I am planning a building project and I want to keep track of the materials, budget, hours, process, documents, etc...  Does anyone here have a suggestion for an opens source project management suite?10:51
TechnicusHopefully my question is not too off topic . . .10:51
ybitTechnicus: github10:52
ybitgithub and your favorite text editor?10:53
ybitrather10:53
ybityour favorite vcs and text editor10:53
ybitorg-mode is great for tracking time spent on a project10:54
ybitGithub can handle org files10:54
ybitthe display of them10:54
ybitIf you need to export to other formats, C-x-e-g then choose to export into other formats like html, markdown, etc.10:55
ybitthis isn't off-topic at all, btw :)10:56
Technicusybit: I should maybe be a little more specific . . . I am rebuilding an RV and I want to do cost analysis of parts and materials.  Another thing is that I intend to replace the drive train and suspension with components from a M939 series truck.10:57
ybitMaybe you want a spreadsheet editor then?10:58
ybitorg-mode has this too, but i'll be quiet about it now :)10:58
kanzurei don't think org-mode is a good suggestion here10:59
TechnicusPerhaps that would be appropriate.  I do also want to clock the time I put into research, development and build.10:59
kanzureit sounds like you need a lot of separate tools10:59
kanzurethere's no way a tool will do all of that for you :)10:59
kanzure"oh and it would also cook my breakfast"10:59
TechnicusYeah . . . I thought that would be the case, because I also want to develop some schematics.11:00
ybitapt-cache search time | grep track11:01
ybitwmwork11:01
ybitworklog11:01
ybitgtimelog11:01
kanzurethere's some commercial PDM (product data management) tools that will cost you many 100s of grands11:01
TechnicusMostly looking for ways to keep track of what I am trying to do, so I don't get lost, repeat things, and can demonstrate progress.11:01
ybit(oooorrrrrrg-mode)11:02
delinquentmesyncrobid11:05
Technicuskanzure: I'll employ LibreOffice Calc before I shell out a penny for any commercical product data management software. :)11:05
delinquentmebut i dont think its open source Technicus11:05
Technicuskanzure: . . . or write my own.11:06

klafkahey kanzure  are you familiar w/ bitbucket16:40
klafka?16:40
klafkaif I pushed a change from one computer, and i want another computer which already has a repo on it updated with those changes what would be thje command16:40
klafkait seems like it's a pull request16:40
klafkabut i can't find how to actually request one16:41
klafkanvm16:50
kanzureyes i'm familiar with bitbucket16:51
kanzurehg pull right?16:51
kanzureoh, you meant social features16:52
klafkaoh no16:52
klafkai figured it out16:52
