Read a paper from Lincoln D Stein

Read a opinion paper from Lincoln, 'Bioinformatics: alive and kicking'. Lincoln now is now in Canada.
His genome browser is now widely used.
In this paper he threw out his new opinion about bioinformatics: " Stronger than ever", however he predicted the bioinformatics would gone in 2012 six years ago.
One important idea in this paper is that he now suggests a mode of combination of web lab and dry lab. That is actually the direction our lab heading to. The thing is that I not against the combination, on the other hand, I do think it is a quite well idea, but I am still not sure the financial support and manpower can be easily satisfied in Chinese, especially our lab.
A good news is my mimosa budded.

搬新实验室喽

嘿嘿,爽啊~终于搬出了狗窝,进入了新生命科学楼。以前的我待的地方那叫一个糟糕啊:就坐在门口,风吹的是我,被外面噪音最吵的是我,老板推门进来首先看见的是我,反正大多负面的事情首当其冲的是我,是我,都是我~
现在舒服多了,有了一个在角落的靠窗的座。空间大了,旁边有窗户,感觉很好,窗沿上还可以摆一些花花草草的,这个非常棒啊。然后跟实验室(web lab)也分家了。实验室重心估计会继续向那边倾斜,不过都没有关系了。现在我在的房间要安静多了,因为以前骚扰我的大冰箱什么的都被挤在web lab了,哈哈。不过苦了在web lab坐的同志们了~(同情一下)
有机会要把照片放上来的~
恩,希望新环境会有更好的新生活~
哦也~

失望啊

本来以为会给我买新电脑,结果没有,哎,只是说拨个sun的服务器给我用。那有什么用呢,现在用的机器实在是破啊,无语了。反倒是给小张换了,他的机器坏了。我忽然很希望我的也坏掉。哎,没辙,有些事吧,不能说,暗示了人家装不明白。~

learn more Perl

I do think I need learn more Perl now. The fact is I lack basic kownledge in programming as a student of biological background. It is true most of my codes are shit, unreadable, not robust and efficient, and hard to maintain.
Thus I am reading the book <> now, hoping I cam improve~
HoHoHo...
GoGoGo!!!

Reading 《Writing and Presenting in the English》

Today I read a brochure named 《Writing and Presenting in the English: The Rosetta Stone of Science》. It is a very small book.
And I found several interesting points.
1. Using more contemporary writing, and less passive structures. Thus the following verbs should not appear in one's paper frequently:
There: there is, there are, there were, there has been, etc.
It: It was, It is, It has been, etc.
2. transition verbs:
<1>smoothers: furthermore, in addition, first, finally, lastly, moreover, incidentally, in fact, in truth, as a matter of fact, for example, such as, next, then
<2>contradictors: but, however, instead, nevertheless, despite, surprisingly, in spite of, in contrast, for comparison
<3>explainers: because, as a result, therefore, in general, consequently, as predicted, in conclusion, since, as , for, finally
#### dated transitions: as was mentioned earlier, the aforementioned, the authors would like to say. So do NOT use them! ####

science paper from Wen jiabao

It is at http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/322/5902/649
xzhou told me this thing, and I am reading~
The only thing I hope is that the Chinese government will do something in supporting science development rather than just yelling ~hoho...

换机器有希望了

写了一封tiling array 分析方法总结给老板,长长的篇幅就为了说明一个问题,哥的台机的内存太小了!效果不错,说让我现先别做了,等搬了新楼给我配新的。不知是真是假,但是还是很高兴啊,心花怒放,得意~
