# Key Points from IRC Log (March 25, 2011)

- PCB design tools were discussed, with links shared to gEDA toporouter (http://www.google.com/images?q=geda+toporouter) and commercial toporouter (http://www.toporouter.com/advantages.php), though the lack of documentation was noted as a limitation.

- DIYbio was featured on NPR again, with links shared to the program "Do It Yourself Biology" (http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2011-03-22/do-it-yourself-biology), a blog overview (http://diybio.org/blog/diybio-on-npr), and a video about Genspace (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sr25-Vvcbgs).

- A user shared their attempt at creating an XML parser (http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/irc/apk/axmlparser.rb) and requested debugging assistance.

- Discussion about accessing archived web content through Archive.org, with users sharing techniques for retrieving specific versions of websites rather than being redirected to the calendar interface.

- IEEE Spectrum article about brain simulation was shared (http://spectrum.ieee.org/computing/hardware/catbrain-fever), discussing the collaboration between Henry Markram and IBM, along with a reference to Neurogrid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurogrid).

- A humorous reference to SKDB (a knowledge base for open hardware) was made with a fictional command to create a "gravitational beam emitter" that returned errors about "unobtainium dependencies."
