I've just broken the internet.
@bergmannf Hi Frank. Using AJAX currently. Admittedly with liberal doses of Java on the back-end...
Horse Genome Sequenced http://www.lsblog.org/blog... It's apparently full of GGs. (Joke).
Gah. I shouldn't like. - Neil Saunders
Breaking my Java dependency. Going cold turkey. Or should that be cold penguin? It's nice to be joining the rest of you in the 21st Century.
Today's my first day of using Google Wave. It's already really getting on my wick. #googlewave
Utterly brilliant online learning... http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/

EBI webservice robot #swlhd Which webservices in particular? ChEBI? UniProt? OLS?
I've got some simple Java code to access the ChEBI web services that you can run off with. #swlhd
Can someone robo-tweet proceedings, please...? #swlhd
We are the Robots. A first attempt at a proteomics robot for Google Wave. http://neilswainston.blogspot.com/2009...
The UniProt JAPI changes every two months, and doesn't rate backwards-compatibility too highly. Is this how web services should work? #fail
I'm amazed to learn that I live in the sixth most educated area of the UK. http://www.guardian.co.uk/news... You'd never guess.

@dbkell I was expecting the response "ponying up for the mass specs". Fair comment, though... :)
The foot soldiers from the four #proteomics groups at Manchester met up today to investigate overlaps. What are the Profs paid for?!?
@systemsbiology Or, failing that, take a leaf out of 2009's book and ensure that at least 95% of all speakers are from Edinburgh. #icsb2010
