Yahoo! Widgets Issue



I was logging into my Yahoo! Widgets(r) notepad one day when this happened... looks like someone forgot to fill in the default names!

Actually, this has never happened again, so I suppose it was due to my choppy internet connection... oh well.

Amino Acid Translation

While browsing NCBI's protein section of genome sequences, many of the protein amino acid sequences are in a cryptic one-letter code form, for example:

mapkksttkt

So, in order to make my reading experience a little more enjoyable, I've created a small program to translate that into a more readable sequence form, i.e.:

met- ala- pro- lys- lys-

Fruity Loops

I'm back again! A bit of fooling around with FL Studio 6 came up with the following clips:

Adelix's Nightmare
Sum Of Lore

I'll admit, they're both pretty mediocre, but...

Linear Regression

Another proof-of-concept application involving a form of statistical line-fitting. Once again, you'll need the .NET 2.0 Framework to run this.

Update 11/30: program now includes correlation calculations

Chaos Theory

Simple population growth isn't so simple if you extrapolate far enough! Chaos Theory is a small experiment to test out a common growth equation. Turn up the grwoth rate and be amazed (if you don't already know what Chaos Theory is!).

It may ask you for VB300.DLL (or something similar like that) to run depending on your system, a quick Google search will yield several downloads for that file.

Automated Spanish Homework

To save a bit of time looking up my Spanish homework, I wrote a program to do it automatically for the current day.

Not portable - if my Spanish teacher decides in any way to change the way she lists her homework, the program will be broken; requires Windows XP or 2000 with .NET Framework 2.0 to run.

Fourier Transform

Fourier Transform Experiment is a small program written a while back. It's never been finished (in the sense that some of the buttons/commands have not yet been implemented), but the basic bare-bones DFT works at least.

No manual, no instructions; proof-of-concept application only.
