How to Automate Lab Devices with Python
Secretly, many of the devices we use in the lab every day can be controlled by a computer. Analytical scales, syringe pumps, heating baths. But my colleagues in academia barely make use of these options. Why? Probably a combination of simply not knowing it can be done, laziness, and the supplier hiding the option behind a wall of jargon. I really think actually knowing how to build your own simple automation for these devices can make your life much easier sometimes. Just the fact that you know some devices can easily be automated unlocks a range of new experimental possibilities, that would normally be discarded outright because it would (for example) involve you sitting in front of water bath for 24 hours, changing the temperature every 30 minutes.
Building a Dokuwiki Injector Extension: Dokuwiki in Web Searches
Ever wished you could seamlessly integrate your personal knowledge base with web searches? Meet my Dokuwiki Injector Extension. I absolutely love Dokuwiki. I have over a thousand pages filled with all kinds of information - ranging from science-stuff to recipes and favourite teas. I use my wiki for information I need once in a while, but not often enough to actually remember. The problem is - as it often is in knowledge repositories - that it is kinda hard to remember what is in the wiki and what is not. This extension will hopefully make that a little easier.
