• Open Source Swing: Jmol renderer runs!

    Where I was able to mention earlier that JChemPaint now runs with free (as in open source) Java virtual machines, I just tried to run the core Jmol renderer, using the Integration.java which comes as an example.
  • Machine crash; SVN went along

    Doesn’t happen often, but my machine crashed two hours ago. Not a big deal, because I have my important files in SVN. Oh wait, SVN had a commit in progress during the crash. So, svn recover. Mmmm… doesn’t work either. OK, SVN FAQ: try db_recover. That worked. No, it did not: svn commit still not working for the files I was trying to commit. Fortunately, I make regular SVN db backups so I created a brand new SVN repository from scratch and recovered the back up. That worked. Really.
  • Bioclipse: the chemo-/bioinformatics workbench

    Some weeks back there was the CDK5AW , the CDK 5th anniversiry workshop. A small group of international open source chemo-, bioinformatics software developers met, among which two from Sweden. It was then decided to generalize their work resulting in Bioclipse:
  • Open Source Swing: JChemPaint runs!

    Thanx to Mark’s encouragements, I tried to run Jmol and JChemPaint with jamvm.
  • The goal: a live chemblaics CD

    This evening I have been looking at with the KNOPPIX customization howto, and ran many of the interesting commands. I’ve setup a environment with Kalzium, OpenBabel, CDK, jython, PyMOL, and for development I included gcj and Eclipse. At some later point I will include kfile_chemical too, but I want to make a deb package first.
  • Back from the 1st GCC

    OK, just back from the first German Chemoinformatics Conference, which I enjoyed very much. A rather interesting program, and lots of interesting posters too. You can read the programme online, and will not spend too many words on that (at least not now). But what I will do is point out some interesting posters here.
  • Going to the German Chemoinformatics Conference

    This sunday starts the first German Chemoinformatics Conference in Goslar. It’s an interesting programme , with presentations on the InChI, PubChem, 25 years of chemoinformatics, the chemical semantic web, and much more.
