Do you oovoo?
Was introduced to this video conferencing software by a friend. Its the first that I know of that can include up to 6 people in a video conference call. Definitely cool and possibly more environmentally friendly than flying overseas for just a meeting.
Cooler still its available for Win and Mac..but what’s uncool is that it isn’t avail for Linux (yet) help me pester them for a linux version will you?
Check it out!
ooVoo is the next evolution in online communication — a remarkably easy way to have a face-to-face video chat with friends, family or colleagues, no matter where they are in the world.
ooVoo Video Chat is remarkably easy to use: easy to download, easy to install, and best of all:
it’s FREE!
ooVoo…now you see!
Odds of losing ur Lab notebook vs ur Enotebook
interesting cross discussions at Saunder’s blog about archiving your lab notebook here
and another person’s take on it which kinda reflects my own opinions .. my previous notebook was a word document it certainly is more helpful cos I dun have to flip pages but jus do a crtl-F
interestingly they both didn’t talk about the odds of having the information lost due to spilled reagents or gasp ur lab notebook catching fire. I don’t think a dog would wanna eat that dirty notebook though. But i think that in some sense an E-notebook is more liable to have data loss.
of course there are safeguards to have to prevent the data loss due to harddisk failures. But I think along the way from the bench to the computer, its likely that one forgets to insert some data..
hmm incoherent? sorry brain is abit scrambled trying to figure out ensembl annotation pipeline. anyway hope you all have a nice weekend! heh next weekend i be travelling down to Cambridge Hinxton for Ensembl User Meeting .. hopefully I get my answers!
