The beaver is a proud and noble animal
Notes from a bemused canuck
I'm going to be adding a few more frequent flyer miles to my body. I'm going to 3 conferences this year:
– “HABATOS” consortium meeting in Lodz, Poland (June 25th). BTW, HABATOS means “Healthy Ageing by Adaptation to Oxidative Stress”. They want me to give a talk on PRIDE and how it can be used to store their data.
– PSI meeting in Washington DC (September 25-27)
– HUPO meeting in Long Beach, CA (October 28-November 1)
Going to be a busy little beaver for a while.
See this shiny new website:
http://www.hinxtonvillage.co.uk/
The couple that runs the dead-tree-format newsletter wanted to go high-tech and make a website for the village but didn't really know how to go about doing it. I've been in touch with them because I wanted to set up a board game night at our local pub and, well, basically. I offered my services and they jumped at the offer. I looked into content management systems for them. That way, they just need to write content and happily ignore having to mess with any HTML. They're thrilled. The whole thing took maybe 30 minutes to install, an hour to get my head wrapped around their configuration logic and a whole of 5 minutes to hack together the graphics. And you know what? It kicks ass, especially compared to other village websites out there :P
