One of the highlights of my academic career was a simple comparative genomics platform called initially Sputnik and later openSputnik.

In the previous post I introduced a quick exploration into the theme identified as hugo-creative-portfolio-theme.

Yesterday’s first excursion into the blogdown universe helped prepare some basic content with the default hugo-lithium theme.

There has been a selection pressure to do stuff in Python. Python is the corporate language of choice; everyone else uses Python. Python even makes cups of tea. Using R is a heresy.

I have started re-invigorating some of my earlier R-projects that have since been migrated into Python. During the strange COVID-esque end-of-2020 this has been a source of pleasure. I had the desire to learn some of the Tidyverse tricks and tools - it’s wonderful! The project that was formerly called nanopoRe is currently being reinvented as floundeR and I am again finding that R is a pleasure.

TL;DR - I’m in Brexile - forced to remain in Germany with family because the alternatives are far too complicated.
