  • 02.07 (Paul): As gadgets are pure Javascript/HTML, i don't see a possibility to download/upload-sequence files. I think we need a robot for this... i don't see a useful thing we can do with gadgets right now...
  • 08.07 (Paul): I visited the bioinformatical-lecture at the technical faculty and asked if someone wants to join our team. No one answered jet...
  • 12.07 (Paul): As i took a closer look at the Robot-API the last days, i noticed another problem the might occur: Google currently only accepts robot running on Google App-Engine. I think we don't want to run our system on it permanently, but as i don't have any hope that there will be a working solution to host robots on your own server till the jamboree, we have to write the robots for App-Engine and rewrite them later. App-Engine however does not support the BioPhyton- and BioJava-libraries, so we have to import them manually... so we really SHOULD use only one language to write the robots...
  • 14.07. Meeting, see Meetings
  • 15.07. (Paul): There is a new post in the Google Blog announcing that have just begun to give more developers access to the sandbox. So we'll hopefully get our accounts within about a month.
  • 16.07. (Paul): Took me hole morning to figure out that the Google-Web-Toolkit-Eclipse-Plugin needs both 32-Bit JDK- and Eclipseversions to run. Because of this Google-Plugin Eclipse we'll use Eclipse as Software Development Kit.
  • 19.07. (Jörg): Importing BioJava seems to work; Best we just store the BioJava-objects in the Google proprietary GQL-db to bypass the lack of BioSQL.
  • 20.07. (Paul): Google announced an "almost" public beta of Wave starting at September 30th. So maybe we can have a live presentation at iGEM-Jamboree.
  • 21.07. (Paul): Maybe we'll need a server for wavelet - wavelet - communication to bypass Google-App-Engine limitations.
  • 22.07. (Paul): We looked at some servers from Dell, and maybe found a fitting one.
  • 23.07.: Meeting, see Meetings.
  • 24.07. (Paul): I'm currently working on a class which creates basic Text-views of a DNA-Sequence and its readings-frames
  • 24.07. (Paul): Francois Le Fevre, advisor of a french iGEM-Team is interested in joining our Project.
    it seems that GeneWave is a registered trading mark, so well maybe have to change the name of the project, maybe to BioWave, SynBioWave, SynWave?
  • 26.07. (Paul): Dell seems to be to expensive if we want a server with native raid-support. We are looking for one at the locale computer stores here in Freiburg.
  • 27.07. (Paul): We created a "Genewave"-Project at Sourceforge.net ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/genewave/ ) so that we can rapidly start programming when we got our sandbox-accounts.
  • 28.07. (Paul): Still working on my displaySequence-class... while its works fine given the right parameters, I'm now adding some error-handling
  • 30.07. (Paul): We finally bought a server at some locale shop here in Freiburg. Its a bit frustrating that we still did not get Sandbox accounts.
  • 31.07. (Paul): I finally got my sandbox-account! No time to write more at the moment, I'm testing Google-Wave
