Years have passed since my last blog entry, and curious paths are always leading your life as I was here and there, moving from academia to industry and back to academia.A full pandemic (still hitting) has occurred ...I was sure to move to the Queen's land (now King's), but somehow that never happened, and looking for a new adventure (care what you wish) I got a new one ... Adapting to a new

Tres años sin escribir, pero me tomo 5 min para desoxidar este blog (desempolvar ya se queda corto). Muchos proyectos en marcha, todo avanza bien al parecer, sigo igual (o peor) de geek y nerd, ya no doy clases pero me entretengo procesando datos y programando a lo bestia (incluso le he encontrado sabor a Python pero Perl sigue siendo mi fuerte). En fin, sigamos otro rato.

Pues ya es 2015 (felicidades a quienes deseen recibir una felicitación por el cambio de año). Después de mucho tiempo sin publicar y en espera de que varios procesos acaben, me doy a la tarea de desempolvar un poco este blog. No puedo detallar mucho de los proyectos que tengo en curso pero son varios y muy interesantes, pero dado que en este blog escribo más sobre Linux, este es mi estado actual

I found in BioStar an nice programming challenge to produce an alternative VCF file from a complete genome sequence (the motivation to have such file is a mystery to me), anyway, I and many others produce a solution in C, Python, Perl and even AWK. As expected the C solution is the faster (but longest code), surprisily Python is really close in speed and really compact. My Perl wasn't bad, but is

In many situations I need to sample a few lines from a big file, the basic approach is to take just the first N lines in the file, but that isn't correct, a real sampling needs a random selection of points to avoid some bias. Here is my solution in the Perl language: #!/usr/bin/perl =head1 NAME randomLines.pl =head1 DESCRIPTION Subsample some random lines from a text file. =head1 USAGE

After many years using Mandriva (even when it was Mandrake), I finally move my personal systems to Fedora. I always consider Mandriva an excellent Linux distribution, really easy to install and use (even more than Ubuntu), but the current situation of Mandriva (please google-it) gave me the signals to move on. My current situation is developing (Perl, C, R) using my Mac with Snow Leopard, but

Last weeks I have been working in some user interface to make easy some data integration and quick manual annotation for new repeat families. After spending some time understanding the problem and learning the annotation path, I reach a point to decide which framework do I need to create a simple GUI. I searched for options, like HTML5, QT, C#, even Java, nothing liked me. I take a look to the

I just realize (after the GLiB was moved to a new home and I remember the Planet), that I'm not writing anymore here. Many of my thoughts are now on the social networks but I try to keep this blog.

My good friend Charlie ask me my opinion about some server/high-end computers, one of the options was the historically important Cray. Cray isn't producing their amazing systems that dominate the supercomputer field for years. Now they're producing high-performance desktop computers like the CX1-iWS. Well, it's a nice computer with cool hardware but with Windows 7 as OS (maybe to reach some 3D

The IEEE Spectrum presents this interactive chart, really nice. I remember when people asked me how to hack a computer or email, I never know, but I found more interesting hacking genomes than machines.
