My Gaffe!

Lee: do you think that I could make “my gaffe” replace “my bad?”
James: sure
With all the usage of the word Gaffe to describe McCain’s campaign, I think I can start using it in public and people will understand it.  It’s about time that “my bad” were replaced by something better.
person 1: Dude, you just stepped on my toe!
person 2: My gaffe!

Gas Availability

It’s so hard for me to believe right now how little gas there is in Atlanta.  I drove around for 20 minutes and all gas stations were out of gas except one, and it had very long lines that filled the parking lot.  The lines were backed out on the street, so it must have been at least a 30 minute wait for any gas.

I searched online and found a tool to find gas prices and availability, so I hope it helps someone too.

Netflix Coupons

I got an email saying that I can give someone a free month of Netflix.  And in exchange I can have my own free rentals for each person who uses my coupon codes.  Just remember to type in a priority code when you get the free month so that I can get my kickback.

Step 1. Tell me to email you a free month trial

Step 2. Use one of the priority codes when you sign up.

Priority Codes
M432454992105
M492484992175
M402434992725
M412474992745

Heroes

I was literally jumping up and down as Heroes went for two hours just now.  I’m so psyched!

Why don’t they ever mention that Mohinder is a bioinformatician?

biophp

My version of biophp is becoming a reality.  Biophp.org’s problem is that their code is broken.  Sure, if you want it you can spend time fixing it, it’s usable.  And you can go onto their site and edit the code to fix it for them, but it hasn’t been changed since 2006.  Plus once again, it’s broken.

I have figured out how to get mine onto Google Code.  Google’s system allows for others to view the code and make changes as they see fit.  Thus even though I haven’t had a need to change it for myself in a few months, my version of biophp could continue to progress through the efforts of other computational biologists.

I hope you’re a bioinformatician and want to help make the code go further.
