bioinformatics code?
ok.. let me think a while about what I can upload.

In the meanwhile, this is my favorite code from that site:
- http://refactormycode.com/codes/51-classtemplate
it is a template for a class in python, showing how to use the pydoc and dontest modules, which I didn't know how to use properly before.

looks interesting. You could try uploading some bioinformatics code to their site and see what feedback you get?

interact with your data

Thanks for the link Greg. Better than reading PhD comics all day (http://www.phdcomics.com/comics.php). As a fan of Xlisp-stat, I've long been looking for some interactive plotting software. My gift today is a nice toy which is almost solves what I was (almost) drove to write myself out of frustration. The problem: interacting with your visual data (plots). The new toy which makes data exploration fun again (I tend to use R) : iplots (http://www.rosuda.org/iplots/), a java graphing R package that allows "callbacks" to R data structures. Very cool, seamless install. It's not perfect, as all calls seem to have to orignate from R; the use of >iset.selected() in R calls the data points highlighted in the graph. But there are some right-click graph transformation features scattered here and there; I assume that the iplots project will continue to evolve.

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong, it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.

Config files

Configuration files are particularly useful in compiled languages such as java and C.
The runtime behavior can be changed without needing recompilation.
I don't know about C, but Java has the Properties class for parsing config files.
