We have a couple of machines that are still running Snow Leopard, so the Apple patch won’t work. One option is to recompile bash and its patches from source, but why do that when I already have MacPorts on those machines. Testing the vulnerabilities From Stack Exchange, there are multiple vulnerabilities: The first one is […]

Edge wander
In class today, we talked about the first Assemblethon paper. A student asked about the term “edge wander”, which comes from a paper by Ian Holmes and Richard Durbin. Figure 6 from the paper illustrates the basic idea. Edge wander is a problem in multiple sequence alignments, and often scientists manually adjust alignments based on […]

College Football Week 4: Stomp
2-0 for my teams. Stanford had a bye. Wisconsin d Bowling Green Wisconsin started a bit slow but then blew out Bowling Green.

I don’t have anything to say about Stanford, since I […]

Around the same time that I got this new laptop, TAMU switched from hosting its own mail to a Google Apps-based system. As part of the changeover, you can import your mailboxes from the old system to the new system. After hooking up the new account in Mail.app as an IMAP account, there are messages […]
New laptop
I’ve been working on a 2011 MacBook Air since Spring of 2012. A&M is really nice in having a program to subsidize computer purchases for faculty, but unfortunately I had do spend my faculty workstation funds a month or so before Apple updated the Airs, which meant that I got the version where 250G was […]
