Welcome...
This place is still under massive rework. There are quite a few more things to go up here. In the meantime, enjoy!
PostgreSQL and Biological Databases
The 2006 PostgreSQL symposium is being held in Toronto, and represents some of the best and brightest minds in relational databases in the world.
My own history with PostgreSQL goes back to graduate school, where I had heard of something called Postgres95 or somesuch, and thought it might be useful for my research data. One failed hard drive (containing all the commercial software I had installed, and could not afford at the time to re-acquire) and one set of corrupted data (floating point issues) later, I had decided to make the jump to PostgreSQL and Linux.
I haven't looked back since. :)
The talk is here in this PDF. Thanks to Alex and Paul for being great colleagues and friends throughout all of our work together.

Despite better judgement and common sense, the organizers of
the 2005 Linux Symposium accepted my proposal to give a talk
on a Python module I designed designed and wrote with Paul
Osman to facilitate access to a comprehensive online data
resource called
SeqHound.
Fortunately, the talk was nothing like a typical Vogon
poetry reading, and no casualties resulted. Download and info
