• Processing the ChEBI MDL SD file with the CDK

    Bioclipse has a bug report about browsing the ChEBI SD file in its moltable editor. Some entries make Bioclipse crash (as reported), or just very sluggish as with my Dell superlapcomputer :)
  • Extension point for running JUnit tests in a RCP Application instance?

    One thing that has been on my wishlist is to be able to run the unit tests we have for Bioclipse from inside a running Bioclipse instance. That is, we have a Bioclipse Test Suite features on the update site, matching the functional features we have there. Each such test suite would run all JUnit tests we have for that feature.
  • JChemPaint update: merging of patches and CDK statistics

    With the JChemPaint workshop just passed, there is much work from UU and the EBI to be integrated. Moreover, Rajarshi just merged a lot of fixes from CDK 1.2.x into the master branch, which will be a big rebase too. That said, I need to do this to recalculate source code statistics for the CDK.
  • My HTML+RDFa homepage

    Finally got around to adding a few more bits to my new science homepage: egonw.github.com. Cool thing about this new page is that it is HTML+RDFa, so, my new FOAF profile is embedded in the HTML:
  • Really free chemistry books

    With pleasure I read Analogue or Digital? - Both, Please. Funnily, I just created MP3 (or, preferably Ogg Vorbis, superior but hardly any support by commercial companies, who rather seem to pay license fees) directly from the CD.
  • VRMS meme: how much non-free software are you running?

    Over at Planet Ubuntu there is a meme running around VRMS (Virtual Richard M. Stallman, brilliant name!) which finds non-free software on your desktop. I uninstalled Sun’s Java6, for which there is the OpenJDK6 alternative.
  • Bioclipse, RDF and defeasible reasoning

    Well, I have yet to read the paper in detail, but my new student Samuel is going to work for 20 weeks on defeasible reasoning with DrProlog in Bioclipse.
