# Summary of #hplusroadmap IRC Discussion (September 28, 2012)

* A discussion about the health impacts of grains revealed that prolamines (grain proteins) are difficult to digest and potentially harmful, with jrayhawk explaining that even with the right enzymes, they can damage enterocytes and potentially trigger autoimmune responses.

* Jrayhawk argued against grain consumption, noting they are "nutrient deficient, ecologically harmful, and expensive," while explaining that traditional fermentation and sprouting methods only partially mitigate their harmful effects.

* Kanzure shared progress on the nanoengineer project, noting issues with missing images in the GitHub repository due to the nanoengineer-1.net website going offline, and later mentioned creating a version that runs in Python 2.6 without requiring the GUI.

* There was a brief discussion about SKDB (a packaging specification project), with kanzure noting that "people continue to ignore the call for comments on the packaging spec" despite ongoing interest in the concept.

* Members brainstormed humorous name suggestions for a new Sydney biohacking group, with kanzure expressing frustration about the prevalence of fluorescent protein projects ("god damn glowers").

* Kanzure shared a link to a blog post about "constrained programming" demonstrating RAR file magic (http://blog.cmpxchg8b.com/2012/09/fun-with-constrained-programming.html).
