Back blogging

I'm back from hospital. I don't know what I was expecting, but my biggest problem was boredom; it was pretty much a pain-free experience (there was a lot of discomfort, on the other hand). Despite the media being full of stories about hospital acquired infections, uncaring nurses and falling down hospital buildings I've got nothing but praise for my NHS experience.

Anyway, lots of interesting stuff on other blogs to catch up on - this tongue in cheek post about opting for fraud at Notes from the Biomass, for example (an earlier post there also links to Pierre's bioinformatics blog. Pierre has lots of good posts, like this one about drawing Genbank features in Firefox using XUL and SVG now that 1.5 supports it properly).

Over at Nodal there are lots of comments on the previously mentioned Hopes and Fears thread - open source Endnotes and robot controlling monkeys (via Pedro), that kind of thing.
