Tuesday

In at 8:30.  10a and still getting through Google Reader journals, emails.

  • Finished up yesterday’s entry and posted.
  • Exploring some of the new developments in Wordpress for scientists.   Some trouble with the link2link code interfacing with kcite.  No luck yet on mathjax: renders the shortcode instead of the equations, i.e \(dx = \sigma d B_t\)
  • NIMBioS workshop inquiry: Offering a workshop on HPC in R, I was curious about the scope and depth of the workshop.  Sounds like it aims at getting researchers to move R code from desktop level to running onRDAV Kraken through NSF’s teragrid.  Still not quite clear on what functions or tools this involves teaching (R packages?  basic server access/bash/ssh etc?)
  • Working out final plans for Data Management Workshop.
  • Merritt databases inquiries, see my notes here.
  • And back to writing on the warning signals paper…
