Ian Flockhart's Personal Website

Hi, this isn't much of a website at the moment. Right now its just a disorganized collection of links to stuff I wanted to make available. The major things this site links to are my resume, the resources from a C Class I taught, and some of the materials from my excessively named Introduction to Bioinformatics Scripting and Programming class, there are also a few odd CGI toys I've thrown together along the way.

Course materials for RBIF0100: Introduction to Bioinformatics Scripting and Programming. Most materials for the course are, of course, kept on the course website on Brandeis's LATTE system. These are either CGI pages that I wanted to show working or reference pages that I put together offline and felt should persist past the end of the semester.

• Some examples of CGI that outputs an image: GDtest.pl, GDtest2.pl
• A simple reverse-complement CGI
• Regular Expressions by Example for Python
• Notes on the canonical process of translating ORFs.
• A simple web form example.

Over the years I've thrown together a few utilities and amusements (some of which I've used as class examples):

• My Color Scheme Selectotron
• Counter test (if you don't see anything, that tells us that my webhost doesn't support SSI, at least not the way I expect):
• The William Turner III Memorial Character Degenerator
• A CGI verion of Hunt the Wumpus (here's the source code - just remove the .txt from the name.
• Here's a different version of Hunt the Wumpus written in JavaScript and using AJAX (PHP server), jQuery and Cytoscapeweb.

If you enjoyed my exciting Buffon's Needle presentation, the related Mathematica notebook is here. If you enjoyed the presentation so much you want a copy of the slides (or, more likely, you're me and the flash drive failed) they are here.
