This started off as a regular episode in which we were going to discus a few stories. But a talk given by Joel Dudley, resident Bioinformatics specialist in the Butte lab at Stanford, which Shirley Wu blogged about was just too good to miss. The issues raised in this blog post were so close to our heart that we spent all of 45 minutes talking about them .

Not to self-promote too much, but just to disseminate the information, I produced a screencast series on learning the shell that has been very helpful to a lot of people so far: http://showmedo.com/videos/series?name=pQZLHo5Df
Also, I produced a series for using Subversion (though I’ve been asked to re-do the series with Bazaar or Git): http://showmedo.com/videos/series?name=bfNi2X3Xg
good ep guys. nothing wrong with focus
…but you forgot to add the links of the week to the shownotes…
