What a day!

Have you ever had one of those days when absolutely nothing related to technology worked right?

(Personally, I think I must have been an evil copymachine repair person in another life, and I'm paying back my bad karma in this life!)

One of the things that happened was that I a little while ago, I created a really interesting post - about gnome mapping - and somehow the whole thing just disappeared!

But, I really wanted to tell you about it, in case this is an area you're interested in, and have thought about getting your doctoral degree in...It's about a really exciting computer system, called "SuperLink Online" - it's been around for five years, and using the capabilities of literally thousands of linked computers (during their down time), they can pinpoint the exact location of disease genes in certain families genomes - which helps scientists to develop effective disease treatments.

And the thing is super-fast as well...in fact, the system provides results tens of times faster than previous gene-mapping programs!

I've written a couple of magazine articles on this stuff, and like I said, I find it completely fascinating!

Let me know what you think...
