Another month, another wiki

My boss (Gary) and I have been creating a contact web-site for the modelling part of BIOTRACER project for when it's funding finishes. Again, we're using mediawiki as it is very good for quick collaborative development.

It is a work in progress, but can be found at bbn.ifrn.bbsrc.ac.uk/btmodeller/.

Dispatch war-rocket AJAX!

(Apologies to/for Flash Gordon film) Adding some AJAX to SUSSLE web-app using Drasticdata's DrasticGrid  to format search results and hope to use mootools (also used by Drasticgrid) to create dynamic query web-forms.
Looks promising...

Institute Strategic Programme Group Talk

Have almost got out of the habit of blogging after pre-election purdah...

I gave a talk yesterday on the countdown 439 project and my experiences at the ISPG meeting.
I volunteered after someone else dropped out. I was worried about it as it was very different to the usual talks which are usually very science programme specific (e.g. the other speaker was talking about sRNA and flagella assembly in Campylobacter) but it seemed to go down well.

Hopefully, I may have encouraged others to do some outreach activities as it is in the BBSRC strategy.
