I learnt recently that the Kile LaTeX environment had a new release (1.9.2) on 26th August. It is mainly a bugfix release. However no packages for Ubuntu and Kubuntu exist yet, so I decided to fill the gap by building one, as I also use Kile for S.T.E.A.L.. It is based on the packages made by Harald Sitter and Marcus Czeslinski, whom should take most of the credit, as I merely recompiled the already debianized source with the new version.
The package is available on here (if the link is no longer working, leave a comment and I’ll host it elsewhere), along with the languages package. It has been signed with my own GPG key, which is also available on the wwwkeys.pgp.net keyserver (key ID EC445369).

I forgot to mention it in the past entries, but my group finally managed to take on the (only) serious fight in the Treasures of Aht Urghan storyline so far. The mission is known as the “Black Coffin” and even if it involves six members it’s not a battlefield (or Burning Circle as they’re also called) but instead is an Assault.

I’m finally back from holidays and since there’s almost no one in the office here I thought I’d write a little mixed entry, while quant is busy compiling a patched 2.6.17 kernel (but quant as an odd overheating problem that I will describe in another entry, so I have to compile it by steps).
Work is somewhat slow, as the people I need to contact are still on holiday. In the mean time, I’m reading an interesting paper on some GPLed software for Single Nucleotide Polymorphism analysis, written in Perl and R. I have some test data so I’ll soon give it a try (after reading the paper, published in BMC Bioinformatics earlier this year). It may be what I need to perform some comparison analysis between different kinds of tumor samples.

That’s right, I’m going on holiday from today until August 28th. As I don’t have a proper internet connection there, my entries will be few and far in between (not that I’ve been very active recently, I’ve been busy putting the house in order). I’ll be staying in Loano, in Liguria, for about 17 days, and I’ll spend the rest traveling around central Italy (Arezzo, Perugia, Assisi, Todi, Gubbio, Siena).
