My blog is based on Joomla 1.0.13 and uses the OpenSEF component to generate search engines friendly urls. One great OpenSEF feature is its use of the menus to generate nice directory-like urls for the main components of one's website. For example, http://www.moleculargeek.net/index.php? option=com_docman&Itemid=42 may become (this may be customized) http://www.moleculargeek.net/downloads/ as the menu item pointing to the component is named downloads. This works out of the box except for a tiny bug for which I just found a workaround...

So, I just discovered a simple software that allows the viewing of DNA sequencing chromatograms, named FinchTV, and thought to post about it. FinchTV is a simple application that was developed with the Qt libraries and runs as such under Linux, Mac OS and Windows.

Beryl was just amazing on Ubuntu 7.04... until you had to work at the same time it was running (at least with an nVidia graphic card). Now that Beryl and Compiz stand united under the Compiz fusion flag, I must say it has become more than just usable! It is bloody stunning!

A more serious post, at last!

My boss just pointed me out an article that was published in last April's issue of Bioinformatics (See References). I thought I would write a small post about it. Its authors describe the new bioinformatic tool that they developed to predict phosphorylation sites of yeast proteins.

I just added a new component to my website: My Content 1.1.13. It's a very simple component that was coded by Mark Fabrizio (http://www.joomlicious.com/). This component enables access to all articles published or unpublished through the frontend of joomla (The core of the website), works well and is very convenient!
