Hozzie Radio

Once upon a time I was a "Technical Operator" (or "TO") at Thameside Hospital Radio. Many DJs on English local radio got their first exposure to a broadcast studio at Thameside - Tim Murphy, Vernon Harwood and Adrian Fox f.x. - and many others who didn't fancy making a fool of themselves in front of a microphone went on to make a fool of themselves behind the microphone (or camera). Others, though bitten by the technical bug, didn't want to work with nasty analogue signals and got into software. Regardless, the Thameside Hospital Radio audio snippets page (courtesy of Pete Sipple) is remarkable for preserving a slice of HR history. There are more audio clips at Mark Himsley's TH Audio Archive including a trailer for one of the late, great Billy Panton's shows.

Sunset over Amager
Large (2048 x 1536 99Kb)
Medium (820 x 615 21Kb)
You may spot what look like quails sitting on some of the chimney pots ...

... but, prosaically, these are actually fume vents with wind vanes to keep them aligned in the prevailing wind direction so as to stop the wind blowing the fumes back down the chimney.

Online Lectures in Bioinformatics, Max Planck Institute
The Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics has a useful series of online lectures in bioinformatics here complete with exercises and answers. There's a section on Smith-Waterman and other sequence matching algorithms.

Elvis Costello concert
Did anyone catch the Elvis Costello concert in Ringsted on 1st Nov?. I found the set list here on the unofficial EC website but no photos/reviews yet.
