Tron

Until about a year ago I’ve never heard about Tron before. Well, I’ve probably heard about it, I guess I’ve seen something similar on TV but I haven’t really looked into it. Then, with all the hype surrounding Tron Legacy I was pushed into “Flynn’s world”.

Top 8 "Things I missed at the Oscars"

And so… another movie awards season has ended with the Oscars last night. In the overall, I agree with most of them. However, there are a few remarks I would like to make regarding this year’s ceremony…

Semantic Web in GEN2PHEN

GEN2PHEN

Semantic Web developments are gaining momentum in the scientific research community: the usage of semantics is finally being considered as a valuable solution to integrate resources and compose services.

Octopus

2010 started with the death octopus arrival at the northern sea shore… If we only knew… it was only the beginning! Another post-apocalyptic tale from another dimension!

Black & White

A tale from a troubled mind… Just like Jekyll and Hyde, White has a lover who he cannot harm or hurt… but Black loves her so much that he hates her for not being with him. A criminal rises!

Wicked + Divine

A tale of a girl… who is Wicked and Divine! This should be great!

WAVe database model

First stable version of the database model is complete. Upcoming issues: how to crawl the databases to get the variants where is GEN2PHEN lsdb listing how to get variation metadata like publications and so on, will a specific parser for each database be required? develop the final app in C# or Java? C# would be faster… Java stripes?

WAVe 1 – 0 Coeus

WAVe has beaten Coeus in a closed match yesterday afternoon… A top-2-bottom perspective should be followed and development in WAVe should kick off ASAP There is no information available on how will coeus and its semantic web developments recover from such a defeat…

Idlewild + Edenborn

Just finished reading Nick Sagan’s Edenborn. And already regret the fact the I’ve left Everfree at Aveiro… I would finish the trilogy this weekend for sure!

Redmine update + Coeus

Redmine update status: running 0.8.7 @ bioserver.ieeta.pt:8000 The problem is in the ruby service (loops between on and off). I don’t know if it’s a versioning problem or a mongrel one… I’ll wait for the next redmine release and try to fix it. Coeus will be the name of the semantic concept management platform I’ll be developing for my PhD. He was one the 12 greek titans, the god of wisdom/knowledge/intelligence. Future post in Plog will explain everything. I am also responsible for the Semantic Web section in GEN2PHEN KC, must prepare an opening post.
