While I was viewing Yamato Video’s latest Samurai Troopers DVD, I noticed that in the trailers section there was a part showing off some footage of Chrno Crusade. As a few may know, it’s written Chrno and not Chrono for some obscure reason. What it matters though is that Planet Manga already edited the relevant manga with the name Chrono Crusade (same as what AD Vision did in the United States).

Jucato has some screenshots of the recently released Kubuntu Edgy Eft Knot 3. I like very much the new artwork, but it doesn’t seem that there’ll be Oxygen icons, at least from what I can gather. In any case I will try to play with it as soon as it hits a beta stage.

Recently I decided to update the fglrx driver (ATI’s proprietary driver for Linux) to the latest version. I wanted to do that because the old version made switching between virtual consoles and X impossible (X would lose the correct timing of the screen, distorting it and forcing a kill to reset the settings). Also I was hoping on finally solving the hibernate issue that has been plaguing the driver for months.

A lot of my bioinformatics work involves performing functional annotation on genes. This means that given lits of genes I need to resolve their known function, or if they’re part or some metabolic pathways and so on. Even with the current trend in our laboratory, that is investigating DNA copy number changes using SNP microarrays (it’s a rather new form of analysis, but some relevant papers are out already), in the end we have to go back to the genes affected by such changes (in order to find interesting/marker genes - we study solid tumors).
