BOV - Blast Output Visualization Tool

Thought of posting links to some of my previous work at the Center for Genomics and Bioinformatics(CGB), Indiana University. 

URL: BOV CGB

Description: BLAST Output Visualization Tool (BOV) allows users to interactively visualize the BLAST high-scoring segment pairs between query and hit sequences for dissecting complex matching patterns. This software is aimed at facilitating users interested in identifying regions of colinearity, duplication, translocation, and inversion using the BLAST program.

Publication:

Great article - WordPress Caching: What’s the best Caching Plugin?

If you are just looking for the essence of this article, here it is -
Overall the best out of the box cache plugin configuration in my opinion is: Hyper Cache + DB Cache Reloaded. Despite the allure of W3 Total Cache’s professionalism and only slightly less admired performance, I prefer to retain some manual control over my blog. For those on a medium priced shared server or if you like the idea of installing and forgetting, the W3 Total Cache plugin will be your ideal choice.

A lot of people still use WP-Cache and WP Super Cache. They are still respectable Wordpress caching plugins but consider trading up for Hyper Cache or W3 Total Cache. These newer caching plugins prove better performance and install/config much easier and cleaner. Also the development communities around these newer plugins are much more active and attentive to their users.

CakePHP 1.3.0-RC4 has arisen (Articles) | The Bakery, Everything CakePHP

By Mark Story (mark_story)
The CakePHP development team is happy to announce the release the CakePHP 1.3.0-RC4. This release marks the last release candidate, before 1.3.0 goes to stable.
The CakePHP development team is happy to announce the release the CakePHP 1.3.0-RC4. This release marks the last release candidate, before 1.3.0 goes to stable. Since 1.3.0-RC3 was released 2 weeks ago there have been over 55 commits and 22 tickets fixed. The plan is to release 1.3.0 in 2 weeks, barring the discovery of any critical issues.

Since the last release there have been a few significant changes. Plugin shortcut routes were mostly removed[1]. This was done for a couple reasons. Firstly, they have never 'really' worked properly, and were prone to creating ambiguous routes that possibly left some actions not accessible, by the urls generated for them. Secondly, they incurred additional overhead as the Dispatcher attempted various parameter permutations until finding the correct controller. For these reasons the feature was removed. We are suggesting that users needing the old routing, setup the appropriate routes in their routes.php file.

In other project news, thanks to some contributions the API now has far more links back to the book than ever before. The 1.3 book has been receiving a healthy amount of translation attention. There are now 4 languages with more than 70% complete translations. A big thanks to everyone who has contributed to the translation efforts. You can now download CakePHP logos, powered by logos and iPad wallpapers[2].

We'd like to thank everyone who has contributed documentation, tickets and code between the last release and now.
