<div>= Well... =<br />
<br />
Normally you should find some more info about my private life and my private interests on this page. <br />
<br />
Beside hanging around in front of computers a lot, I am interested in sports (fitness training, jogging, cycling, swimming) graphics and art, cinema, traveling, literature.<br />
<br />
Because I regard all this as pretty normal hobbies, I won't tell you much more about it.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
== Computers ==<br />
<br />
Nerdy stuff ahead: This is of course important enough to be mentioned here ;-)), as I would not be able to write and publish these pages without my machines.<br />
<br />
I run way too many [[my computers|computers]]. Five IBM-compatible PC's and one [[Google Pixel 2XL|Android smartphone]] plus an Intel Celeron with onboard graphics, which serves as a cheap surfing-machine for my parents, running [[Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Desktop |Ubuntu 18.04 Linux]] and thus preventing a lot of headaches regarding trojans, viruses and other [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malware malware].<br />
<br />
My current desktop is an AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT with 32 GB RAM and a nVidia GeForce RTX 3070 running [[Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Desktop | Ubuntu 20.04]].<br />
<br />
Read my [[Gentoo Linux|installation]]-[[Fedora 10 Linux|notes]] regarding [http://www.gentoo.org Gentoo-Linux], [http://fedora.redhat.com/ Fedora Core 3], [http://fedora.redhat.com/ Fedora Core 6], [[Fedora 8 Linux|Fedora 8]], [[Fedora 10 Linux|Fedora 10]], [[Fedora 13 Linux|Fedora 13]] and [[Fedora 14 Linux|Fedora 14]] as well as my [[CentOS 6.2|CentOS page]].<br />
<br />
See also my [[Linux|review]] on Linux on Laptops which I compiled for the two machines I have used for my [[Postdoc|work]] as well as a less outdated page about [[Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on Lenovo Thinkpad x230|Linux on Lenovo Thinkpads]].<br />
<br />
There are three pages related to my [[Palm Pilot|Palm]], [[Nokia E71|Nokia]] and [[Google Pixel 2XL|Android]] phones, but they are not too exiting and pretty outdated by now.<br />
<br />
For some time I had to cope with a [http://www.apple.com/powermac/ Mac], but you won't find any info about Apple-computers on my site anymore.<br />
<br />
[[Image:tux_cs.png|left|[[help:contents|Counter-Tux]]]] I play [https://web.archive.org/web/20060826172536/http://www.unrealtournament.com/ Unreal Tournament 2004] (no, not really any more), [http://www.counter-strike.net Counter-Strike] and [http://www.x-plane.com/ X-Plane] (if I have the time).<br />
<br />
If I don't play, I toy around with Linux and [[Postdoc|bioinformatics]]-tools, [[Python|programming]] stuff and playing (again :-)) with my [[XBMC HTPC|media center]]. I used to run a [[Linux|game-server]] on local LAN-party's with friends (6-15 people at most). In between I became a bit more fundamentalistic regarding operating systems, and had to setup Wine and Cedega to get some of the Windows-stuff to work on my FC3-box, but this changed again and I am either playing Linux-native games or stuff on Windows 10.<br />
<br />
STOP! That's it! Really! Nothing else to tell!<br />
<br />
Pretty boring, eh? You have been warned.</div>Marc Sarichttps://www.marcsaric.de/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Sidebar&diff=3073MediaWiki:Sidebar2023-11-11T18:44:25Z<p>Marc Saric: </p>

Hi. My name is Marc Sarić, I live in [http://www.malsch-weinort.de/ Malsch] near [http://www.heidelberg.de Heidelberg].<br />
<br />
== An ultra-short CV ==<br />
<br />
I am originally from [https://www.visitessen.de/startseite_14/Startseite.en.html Essen]. I am a [[Diploma|biologist]] with a [http://www.mpi-dortmund.mpg.de Ph.D.] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemistry Chemistry] from the [http://www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de University of Bochum]. During my Ph.D., I also did some computer science studies.<br />
<br />
After getting my PhD (or rather [http://dict.tu-chemnitz.de/dings.cgi?lang=en&noframes=1&query=Doktor+der+Naturwissenschaften&service=&optword=1&optcase=1&opterrors=0&optpro=0&dlink=self ScD] to be correct) I worked for a short time as a bioinformatics computer scientist at Exelixis Deutschland GmbH, the german branch of [http://www.exelixis.com Exelixis Inc.].<br />
<br />
After some [https://www.pct.uni-tuebingen.de/home.html intermediate] [http://www.tuebingen.mpg.de postdoc] positions I went back into [https://www.basf.com/ industry] and again worked as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioinformatics bioinformatician] for several years. Lately I dropped the "bio" part for good, moving to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_technology IT].<br />
<br />
If you really, really still want to know more about me, visit [[User:MarcSaric/Private|this]] place, or just read the rest of [http://www.marcsaric.de my homepage].<br />
<br />
In the unlikely event, that you want to [mailto:marc.saric@gmx.de send me an encrypted e-mail], you can use my public [http://www.gnupg.org GPG]-key shown below.<br />

<br />
Beware, I support most of what [https://www.wired.com/story/our-minds-have-been-hijacked-by-our-phones-tristan-harris-wants-to-rescue-them/ Tristan Harris has to say about Smartphones] -in short, I think most apps are shit and a means to occupy your attention. On top of that, Android (and iOS) are some sort of scam to make you give away your private data. Find the more elaborate and more differentiated arguments on https://medium.com/thrive-global/distracted-in-2016-reboot-your-phone-with-mindfulness-9f4c8ad46538<br />
<br />
* First thing: Install some self hosted calendaring and cloud software (I use [https://www.zimbra.com/ Zimbra], as I don't have much need for file storage). Otherwise ownCloud or Nextcloud may be your thing.<br />
* Second: Encrypt your device and it's SD-Card<br />
* Follow one of the various How Tos for securing your device and disabling/uninstalling unwanted apps.<br />
* Pay for the non-advertisement version of the apps you like (none of them cost serious money). Also -or especially- the Open Source ones. Even if they are only donationware.<br />

Quite nice so far.</div>Marc Sarichttps://www.marcsaric.de/index.php?title=Google_Pixel_2XL&diff=3066Google Pixel 2XL2023-10-06T13:55:57Z<p>Marc Saric: </p>

<div>Random rants about my previous smartphone. See [[Google Pixel 6a]] for the current one.<br />
<br />
It is running Android 9.0, it is pretty much a mainstream-device, not hacked (no intention of doing so as long as the warranty lasts and/or Google provides decent software updates) so there will be no hard-to-find secrets on this page.<br />
<br />
== Things I like ==<br />
* Large<br />
* Fast<br />
* Very good software updates support.<br />
<br />
== Things I don't like ==<br />
* It has no card-slot<br />
* Quite overpriced<br />
* Some of the unneccessary apps can't be uninstalled (Google *cough* Photos *cough*)<br />
* Somewhat slippery surface <br />
* Android (and Android apps in general) feel like an excuse to spam people with advertisements and nag-screens. WTF? Even paid apps sometimes still show adverts or start being anoying by asking for Play-store ratings etc.<br />
* The camera apps internal picture-preview seems to depend on some Google-crap and does not work, if most of that has been replaced by alternatives.<br />
* Charger has an USB-C plug. So not useable with standard cables, which come with an large USB jack on one end.<br />
* Support for transferring apps, settings and data between an old and the new phone is a bad joke. At least you only have to do it once.<br />
* Google stopped [https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/4457705?hl=en#zippy=%2Cpixel-earlier all support for the device in October of 2020].<br />
<br />
== Things which might have prevented me from buying the phone had I known them before ==<br />
None so far.<br />
<br />
== Verdict ==<br />

The earliest incarnation of this site went online around [http://web.archive.org/web/19970529170332/homepage.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/Marc.Saric/ 1997], after the [http://www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/ University of Bochum] supplied a server for student-homepages (there has been an older parallel version hosted by a [http://www.rat.de/ free homepage-provider], which dates from the end of [https://web.archive.org/web/19970731173319/http://www.rat.de/marc_saric/ 1996], written entirely in german -which means I am online for more than 25 years now :-) ) (however -looking back over this abyss of Internet-time, I am not quite sure I want people to look at the stuff I produced back then =8-[]).<br />

<br />
Welcome to my personal [http://www.python.org Python] page. You will only find some links to other sites, as I haven't had time or energy to put together some stuff of general interest.<br />
<br />
Python is a portable, object-oriented and last but not least easy-to-learn scripting language which can be used for everything from throwaway-scripting to [http://www.skencil.org/ complete applications] .<br />
<br />
Because it is quite easy to read and to understand, and because it is portable and especially because much stuff for processing [http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/static.do?p=file_formats/index.jsp PDB-files] (containing information about molecular models (Proteins, RNA, organic and inorganic molecules) already existed, I had chosen Python as the implementation language for some data-parsing and conversion tools I desperately needed during and shortly after my [[Diploma|diploma]]-work.<br />
<br />
More recently I have written some glue-logic for my [[Postdoc|Ph.D.]] work (macromolecular crystallography) which does more or less similar things as the GROMOS96-scripts: Input-generation and some logfile-parsing.<br />
<br />
I got lucky in being paid to program in Python during my industry-career at [[Postdoc#Exelixis|Exelixis]], [[Postdoc#BASF_Plant_Science_Company_GmbH|BASF Plant Science]] as well as [[Postdoc#BASF Business Services GmbH|BASF Business Services]].<br />
<br />
To be somehow usefull, here is the proof, that Python is good and Java and Perl are evil:<br />
<br /><br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="python"><br />
print "Hello world!"<br />

<br /><br />
Although this will have to be written as<br />

<br /><br />

I am a [[Diploma|biologist]] with a [http://www.mpi-dortmund.mpg.de Ph.D.] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemistry Chemistry] from the [http://www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de University of Bochum]. During my Ph.D., I also did some computer science studies.<br />

<hr />
<div>Random rants about my current smartphone.<br />
<br />
It is running Android 9.0, it is pretty much a mainstream-device, not hacked (no intention of doing so as long as the warranty lasts and/or Google provides decent software updates) so there will be no hard-to-find secrets on this page.<br />
<br />
== Things I like ==<br />
* Large<br />
* Fast<br />
* Very good software updates support.<br />
<br />
== Things I don't like ==<br />
* It has no card-slot<br />
* Quite overpriced<br />
* Some of the unneccessary apps can't be uninstalled (Google *cough* Photos *cough*)<br />
* Somewhat slippery surface <br />
* Android (and Android apps in general) feel like an excuse to spam people with advertisements and nag-screens. WTF? Even paid apps sometimes still show adverts or start being anoying by asking for Play-store ratings etc.<br />
* The camera apps internal picture-preview seems to depend on some Google-crap and does not work, if most of that has been replaced by alternatives.<br />
* Charger has an USB-C plug. So not useable with standard cables, which come with an large USB jack on one end.<br />
* Support for transferring apps, settings and data between an old and the new phone is a bad joke. At least you only have to do it once.<br />
* Google stopped [https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/4457705?hl=en#zippy=%2Cpixel-earlier all support for the device in October of 2020].<br />
<br />
== Things which might have prevented me from buying the phone had I known them before ==<br />
None so far.<br />
<br />
== Verdict ==<br />
Nice so far.</div>Marc Sarichttps://www.marcsaric.de/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=3031Main Page2021-12-23T13:48:43Z<p>Marc Saric: </p>

Normally you should find some more info about my private life and my private interests on this page. <br />
<br />
Beside hanging around in front of computers a lot, I am interested in sports (fitness training, jogging, cycling, swimming) graphics and art, cinema, traveling, literature.<br />
<br />
Because I regard all this as pretty normal hobbies, I won't tell you much more about it.<br />

I have been a Flight-Sim nerd for a very long time, but decided to do the [[Flying|real stuff more recently]].<br />
<br />
== Computers ==<br />
<br />
Nerdy stuff ahead: This is of course important enough to be mentioned here ;-)), as I would not be able to write and publish these pages without my machines.<br />
<br />
I run way too many [[my computers|computers]]. Five IBM-compatible PC's and one [[Google Pixel 2XL|Android smartphone]] plus an Intel Celeron with onboard graphics, which serves as a cheap surfing-machine for my parents, running [[Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Desktop |Ubuntu 18.04 Linux]] and thus preventing a lot of headaches regarding trojans, viruses and other [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malware malware].<br />

[[Image:tux_cs.png|left|[[help:contents|Counter-Tux]]]] I play [https://web.archive.org/web/20060826172536/http://www.unrealtournament.com/ Unreal Tournament 2004] (no, not really any more), [http://www.counter-strike.net Counter-Strike] and [http://www.x-plane.com/ X-Plane] (if I have the time).<br />
<br />
If I don't play, I toy around with Linux and [[Postdoc|bioinformatics]]-tools, [[Python|programming]] stuff and playing (again :-)) with my [[XBMC HTPC|media center]]. I used to run a [[Linux|game-server]] on local LAN-party's with friends (6-15 people at most). In between I became a bit more fundamentalistic regarding operating systems, and had to setup Wine and Cedega to get some of the Windows-stuff to work on my FC3-box, but this changed again and I am either playing Linux-native games or stuff on Windows 10.<br />

<div>= My Linux-experience =<br />
<br />
I have been using Linux (mostly in a dual-boot environment) since around 1996 or 1997 (Cheapbytes CD from Lehmanns bookstore with Debian 1.24 on a Pentium 133 MHz).<br />
<br />
The most recent version of this page has been created with Linux tools alone and is hosted on a Linux box. Some images and older sediments of my site may incorporate Windows-generated images, but nowadays I have switched to Open Source tools to create everything I want to show here.<br />
<br />
Until recently I have been developing Web-based applications on [http://www.linux.org/ Linux]- and [http://www.apple.com/ Apple]-machines, using [http://www.mozilla.org Mozilla], [http://www.php.net PHP], [http://www.perl.com Perl], [[Python]], [http://www.postgresql.org/ PostgreSQL], [http://www.mysql.com MySQL] and Eclipse to program distributed [[Postdoc|bioinformatics]] [http://zf-espresso.tuebingen.mpg.de database-applications].<br />
<br />
Beside that I was heavily depending on a stable machine to do my [[PhD|Ph.D.]], which was one of the two main reasons for switching from Windows NT to [http://www.novell.com/linux/suse/ SuSE]-Linux and finally [http://fedora.redhat.com/ Fedora] and [https://www.ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu].<br />
<br />
= Pictures =<br />
<br />
Because people always want to see screenshots here are some of my home-desktop. They are slightly recursive, the first one shows an editing-session of this HTML-page, running SuSE 7.3/KDE 2.2 with an IceWM-theme, the second one shows the upload of the homepage, running SuSE 8.1/KDE 3.0 with the Quartz theme and some nice tools. The third one is SuSE 9.1 KDE 3.2.1 and Gimp 2.0 the next is from the [[Fedora Core 3 Linux|Fedora Core 3]] installation on my AMD Athlon64 running [http://www.gnome.org Gnome 2.8] followed by a few shots from the [[Fedora Core 6 Linux|FC6]] install with 3D effects enabled. Next [[Fedora 10 Linux]] and [[Fedora 13 Linux]] and [[CentOS 6.2|CentOS 6]] and currently [[Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Desktop]]. Apparently I like blue backgrounds...<br />

<br />
During my work for [http://www.exelixis.com Exelixis], I had an IBM R32 laptop running SuSE 8.1 and during my [[Postdoc|stay]] back at the [http://www.uni-tuebingen.de university], I had a [http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/product/pdf_files/detailed_specs/satellite_M30_Series.pdf Toshiba M30-344<small>[pdf-file]]</small>, which I used with [http://www.novell.com/linux/suse/ SuSE] 9.0 and 9.1.<br />

Short note: Both pages will not get updates, as I don't own those laptops any more.<br />

= Gentoo Linux on Small Systems =<br />
<br />
Installing [http://www.suse.de one] [http://www.mandrakesoft.com/ of the] [http://www.debian.org more recent] [http://www.redhat.com distros] on an old system (aka [[User:MarcSaric/Private|my 300 MHz PII]]) is not really fun.<br />
<br />
Except for the fact, that a small hard disk is quickly filled up by a load of gunk you might not need at all (but which is installed anyway, if you don't select rpm-packages by hand), those distros tend to be painfully slow (the current version of Quanta IS dead-slow even on my AMD Duron 700 (yess, CPUs have arrived ad [http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=42655 6.0 GHz meanwhile], I know)), and take eons to load the desktop (why? I was running Linux on my 486 ages ago).<br />
<br />
There seems to be no real hope for a fast-and-small version of SuSE, therefore I had to look for something else.<br />
<br />
'''Enter Gentoo-Linux:''' (I have to admit, that almost everything which follows, has been stolen from an email I got from a [http://www.professa.de friend], who setup all this on his machine ;-)).<br />
<br />
Anyway, if you are interested in my installation-notes for a small-footprint Gentoo-system, [[Gentoo Linux|read on]].<br />
<br />
= Fedora =<br />
<br />
Several years ago I switched from my long-time favorite [http://www.novell.com/linux/ Linux-distribution] to [http://fedora.redhat.com Fedora Core 3]. <br />
== Installation notes for [[Fedora Core 3 Linux]] ==<br />
<br />
Permian period. My first stab at Fedora Linux after I switched from SuSE. Quite some manual effort here compared to more recent distros.<br />
<br />
== Installation notes for [[Fedora Core 6 Linux]] ==<br />
<br />
Jurrassic age. One of the more unstable Fedora releases.<br />
<br />
== Installation notes for [[Fedora 8 Linux]] ==<br />
<br />
Stone age. A better one (compared to the previous install).<br />
<br />
== Installation notes for [[Fedora 10 Linux]] ==<br />
<br />
Very outdated. Some major havoc with Sun Java. Apart from that, the install becomes more and more <strike>boring</strike> mainstream<br />
<br />
== Installation notes for [[Fedora 13 Linux]] ==<br />
<br />
Outdated. New install, new glitches, among them one, which cropped up in the current Ubuntu install.<br />
<br />
== Installation notes for [[Fedora 14 Linux]] ==<br />
<br />
The last Fedora. I switched to CentOS afterwards.<br />
<br />
= CentOS =<br />
<br />
== Installation notes for [[CentOS 4.3]] ==<br />
Some time ago I had to setup a 64-bit 4-way server and decided to give CentOS a shot. Having ordered a floppy-drive ("who really needs that nowadays") immediately paid off, because the RAID-Controller was not recognized and a newer kernel-module had to be installed from a boot-floppy (not a problem, unless you can't use one).<br />
<br />
== Installation notes for [[CentOS 6.2]] ==<br />
After everyone decided, that the new GUI for Linux should look like a Smartphone, I moved from Fedora to CentOS 6 (which also has a longer life-time and does not force you to install a new OS every 1,5 years or so).<br />
<br />
= Ubuntu Linux =<br />
<br />
== Installing Ubuntu 7.10 ==<br />
<br />
Read my review on installing [[Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon]]. I did this recently for one of my older machines, because the old Ubuntu-version was no longer supported.<br />
<br />
== Installing Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit for XBMC ==<br />
<br />
I have built a [http://xbmc.org/ XBMC] based [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_theater_PC Home Theater PC (HTPC)] using [http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit] on an Intel platform.<br />
<br />
Read my [[XBMC HTPC]] installation notes.<br />
<br />
== Installing Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit ==<br />
<br />
My last PC died from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague Capacitor plague] after more than 6 years, so I had to buy a new one. CentOS 7 was not quite ready, so I choose the new Ubuntu LTS. Read my [[Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Desktop]] installation notes.<br />
<br />
== Upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64 bit ==<br />
<br />
As the update client kept nagging me, that a new version is out, I followed that advice and updated the existing system to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Read my [[Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Desktop]] upgrade notes.<br />
<br />
== Upgrading to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS 64 bit ==<br />
<br />
I did an upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Reading my [[Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Desktop]] page is worthless, as it is empty (nothing to fiddle around with there).<br />
<br />
== Upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS 64 bit ==<br />
<br />
I did an upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. There is nothing to read there [[Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Desktop]].<br />

There are some decent games out there, which run natively on Linux (see above :-) ).<br />
<br />
With [http://www.geek.com/games/gabe-newell-steam-on-linux-a-response-to-the-coming-windows-8-catastrophe-1505337/ Steam-support] the number of games natively supported on Linux has been quite OK recently, although some already [https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/17x0sh/john_carmack_asks_why_wine_isnt_good_enough/c89sfto wrote it of] and -of course- many block buster releases are Windows (or console) only.<br />
<br />
Running Windows games on Linux is mostly not fun, so I ditched that and run Windows games on Windows nowadays.<br />

In between I became a bit more fundamentalistic regarding operating systems, and had to setup Wine and Cedega to get some of the Windows-stuff to work on my FC3-box, but this changed again and I am either playing Linux-native games or stuff on Windows 10.<br />

Good bye research. <br />
<br />
Five years into green biotech it was time to try something new (my former employer helped me in this by [http://www.wiwo.de/unternehmen/industrie/chemie-basf-stampft-genkartoffel-amflora-ein/6072750.html deciding it was time to leave Germany] (mostly)). From 2013 on I worked as a Senior Consultant for the IT branch of BASF group (which has recently been rebranded as BASF Business Services GmbH -but we still do IT ;-).<br />

[[Image:Bnapus.jpg|left|[[help:contents|Rapeseed]]]]Back to industry. Between July 2007 and December 2012 I worked for BASF Plant Science Company GmbH as a Bioinformatician, having fun with databases and [http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/default.aspx Microsoft] [http://www.ddj.com/windows/184403996 integrated] [http://blogs.msdn.com/ericlippert/archive/2003/09/15/52996.aspx development] tools.<br />

<br />
After my first not so lucky visit to the world of [http://www.exelixis.com economy and free markets], I decided it would be the right move to do some post-doctoral studies. Until mid-2007 I have been working as a bioinformatics computer scientist at the [http://www.eb.tuebingen.mpg.de/ MPI for Developmental Biology in Tübingen].<br />
<br />
[[Image:zfish.png|left|[[help:contents|A zebrafish]]]]I worked on implementing a [http://zf-espresso.tuebingen.mpg.de microarray-database] for the [http://zf-health.org/zf-models/workpackages/wp5.html ZF-Models]-project, which has been showcased in [[Seattle images|Seattle]]. Doing so I had to learn a bit more about [http://www.apple.com Apple] computers, Perl (particulary [http://bio.perl.org/ Bioperl]) and [http://www.php.net/ PHP].<br />
<br />
If I have the time, I write something up regarding striped fish, microarray-analysis and web-based databases...<br />

[[Image:s_aureus.png|left|[[help:contents|Some bacteria]]]]Before I went to the MPI I have been at the [https://www.uni-tuebingen.de/ University of Tübingen], planing, implementing and running the bioinformatics part of the [http://www.pct.uni-tuebingen.de/ Proteom Centrum Tübingen].<br />
<br />
Beside doing IT, I have done a larger study on ''Staphylococcus aureus'' which has been published in [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=16470655&query_hl=1&itool=pubmed_docsum Proteomics].<br />

<div>I did my biology diploma in biophysics, the title is: "Simulation von Large-Scale Motions bei der Substratbindung von Rubisco".<br /> It was part of a joint project of the [https://homepage.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/juergen.schlitter/ Theoretical Biophysics Group] and the [http://www.bpf.ruhr-uni-bochum.de Lehrstuhl für Biochemie der Pflanzen] .<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
== Molecular Modelling of Rubisco ==<br />
<br />
[http://xkcd.com/1039/ Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate-Carboxylase/Oxygenase][http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RuBisCO (Rubisco for short)] is the most common protein in the biosphere of the earth. It´s purpose is to catalyze the addition of carbon dioxide on a small sugar-molecule (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate), the most important step in the dark- reaction of photosynthesis.<br />
<br />
My part of the work was the simulation and analysis of large conformational changes during the substrate-binding process with help of a newly developed GROMOS-based force-field (Schlitter et al.), which can simulate solvent-effects without simulating the solvent itself (thus leading to a tenfold increase in computation-speed compared to simulations with an explicit waterbox).<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
== Pictures ==<br />
<br />
One of the fascinating parts of computer simulation of molecular processes is the fact that you get incredibly nice graphics ;-)<br />
<br />
Here are some examples of what Rubisco looks like, together with some short interpretation of the structure and function of the molecule.<br /> All pictures are made from the 8RUB.PDB-structure from the [http://www.rcsb.org Brookhaven Protein-Database] (afaik this structure has been replaced by a better one recently), and have been rendered using [http://www.expasy.ch/spdbv/mainpage.html SwissPDBViewer/DeepView] and [http://www.povray.org/ Povray] , both programs based on WIN95 running on my P133, 24 MB back in 1999.<br />

== Installation: Things which... ==<br />
<br />
=== ...work out of the box ===<br />
<br />
Downright boring. Installation of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Desktop 64 bit from an USB-stick. Everything obvious (graphics, touchpad, display, WiFi) works right out of the box.<br />
<br />
=== ...work with tweaking ===<br />
Despite ordering a new 48 Wh replacement battery from Sanyo, the laptop drains a full battery quite fast if running Ubuntu 16.04 (as most Linux distros do without power optimization).<br />
<br />
Checking the battery with<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
reveals, that the battery is OK as advertised.<br />
<br />
See http://thinkwiki.de/TLP_-_Linux_Stromsparen (in german, but it is only about [http://linrunner.de/en/tlp/ TLP]) for some hints specifically geared towards Thinkpads:<br />

</pre><br />
<br />
See how this improves runtime.<br />
<br />
The network currently has issues when the laptop comes back from hibernation. This has not been the case at the beginning, so I suspect an issue with the current kernel as this seems to be kernel-module related (<pre>sudo systemctl restart network-manager.service</pre> does not solve it). See e.g. https://askubuntu.com/questions/761180/wifi-doesnt-work-after-suspend-after-16-04-upgrade or https://askubuntu.com/questions/452826/wireless-networking-not-working-after-resume-in-ubuntu-14-04. The solution for me was to reload the kernel modules in question with <pre>sudo rmmod iwldvm && sudo rmmod iwlwifi && sudo modprobe iwlwifi && sudo modprobe iwldvm</pre><br />
<br />
=== ...don't work ===<br />
<br />
The Thinkpad special key -but who cares.<br />
<br />
The aftermarket battery died on me after only 9 month of regular use. This is crap. However on the very positive side, the retailer immediately and without any fuss sent a replacement battery even without further proof, that the old battery was indeed broken.<br />
<br />
This is hardly an issue with old Thinkpads, rather one with aftermarket batteries. I should probably have kept the original battery and bought a new original Lenovo battery indepenently instead. Who knows. We will see, how long the second aftermarket battery will last.<br />
<br />
More recently, the Windows 10 partition died somehow. No detectable disk issues, so I would rule out hardware problems. This happened after the upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, but I am not aware, that the NTFS driver did something to the Windows partition.<br />
<br />
As it could not be restored using the on-board recovery, I wiped it and nowadays, there is no Windows on that machine any more.<br />
<br />
== Recommendation ==<br />
<br />
Buy. New Ultrabooks are probably thinner and may have full-HD-screens but cost 3x the money of this system. The only real advantage may be a longer runtime with a small battery due to the low-power CPUs (which are not really faster than the > 3 year old CPU of this machine). However, you could buy a 9-cell battery pack + an extra second battery pack if you don't mind the extra kilogram of weight.<br />
<br />
== Update ==<br />
<br />
The Laptop went through two OS-updates and a disk repartitioning, now running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS only. The original battery died after some time and was replaced by the vendor. I still think, that this is the best Laptop I ever had.</div>Marc Sarichttps://www.marcsaric.de/index.php?title=Ubuntu_16.04_LTS_on_Lenovo_Thinkpad_x230&diff=3008Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on Lenovo Thinkpad x2302020-05-18T14:44:53Z<p>Marc Saric: </p>

<br />
= BASF SE =<br />
<br />
More IT.<br />
<br />
2019 I switched jobs again. Writing software and supporting research people.<br />
<br />
= BASF Business Services GmbH =<br />
<br />
Good bye research. <br />
<br />
Five years into green biotech it was time to try something new (my former employer helped me in this by [http://www.wiwo.de/unternehmen/industrie/chemie-basf-stampft-genkartoffel-amflora-ein/6072750.html deciding it was time to leave Germany] (mostly)). From 2013 on I worked as a Senior Consultant for the IT branch of BASF group (which has recently been rebranded as BASF Business Services GmbH -but we still do IT ;-).<br />

<br />
= BASF Plant Science Company GmbH =<br />
<br />
[[Image:Bnapus.jpg|left|[[help:contents|Rapeseed]]]]Back to industry. Between July 2007 and December 2012 I worked for BASF Plant Science Company GmbH as a Bioinformatician, having fun with databases and [http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/default.aspx Microsoft] [http://www.ddj.com/windows/184403996 integrated] [http://blogs.msdn.com/ericlippert/archive/2003/09/15/52996.aspx development] tools.<br />

<br />
= MPI for Developmental Biology =<br />
<br />
After my first not so lucky visit to the world of [http://www.exelixis.com economy and free markets], I decided it would be the right move to do some post-doctoral studies. Until mid-2007 I have been working as a bioinformatics computer scientist at the [http://www.eb.tuebingen.mpg.de/ MPI for Developmental Biology in Tübingen].<br />
<br />
[[Image:zfish.png|left|[[help:contents|A zebrafish]]]]I worked on implementing a [http://zf-espresso.tuebingen.mpg.de microarray-database] for the [http://www.zf-models.org/ ZF-Models]-project, which has been showcased in [[Seattle images|Seattle]]. Doing so I had to learn a bit more about [http://www.apple.com Apple] computers, Perl (particulary [http://bio.perl.org/ Bioperl]) and [http://www.php.net/ PHP].<br />
<br />
If I have the time, I write something up regarding striped fish, microarray-analysis and web-based databases...<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
= Proteom Centrum Tübingen =<br />
<br />
[[Image:s_aureus.png|left|[[help:contents|Some bacteria]]]]Before I went to the MPI I have been at the [https://www.uni-tuebingen.de/ University of Tübingen], planing, implementing and running the bioinformatics part of the [http://www.pct.uni-tuebingen.de/ Proteom Centrum Tübingen].<br />
<br />
Beside doing IT, I have done a larger study on ''Staphylococcus aureus'' which has been published in [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=16470655&query_hl=1&itool=pubmed_docsum Proteomics].<br />

= Exelixis =<br />
<br />
[[Image:me_exel_desk.png|left|[[help:contents|Me, my IBM R32 and some junk]]]] While finishing my [[PhD|Ph.D.]] I have been hired by Exelixis Deutschland GmbH, the -no longer existing- german branch of [http://www.exelixis.com Exelixis Inc.] from [http://www.ssf.net/ South San Francisco]. The picture to the left shows me, sitting in front of our building in Tübingen, the former MPI for Biology (no, that picture was taken prior to the liquidation of the company ;-) ).<br />

<br />
Welcome to my personal [http://www.python.org Python] page. You will only find some links to other sites, as I haven't had time or energy to put together some stuff of general interest.<br />
<br />
Python is a portable, object-oriented and last but not least easy-to-learn scripting language which can be used for everything from throwaway-scripting to [http://www.skencil.org/ complete applications] .<br />
<br />
Because it is quite easy to read and to understand, and because it is portable and especially because much stuff for processing [http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/static.do?p=file_formats/index.jsp PDB-files] (containing information about molecular models (Proteins, RNA, organic and inorganic molecules) already existed, I had chosen Python as the implementation language for some data-parsing and conversion tools I desperately needed during and shortly after my [[Diploma|diploma]]-work.<br />
<br />
More recently I have written some glue-logic for my [[Postdoc|Ph.D.]] work (macromolecular crystallography) which does more or less similar things as the GROMOS96-scripts: Input-generation and some logfile-parsing.<br />
<br />
I got lucky in being paid to program in Python during my industry-career at [[Postdoc#Exelixis|Exelixis]], [[Postdoc#BASF_Plant_Science_Company_GmbH|BASF Plant Science]] as well as [[Postdoc#BASF Business Services GmbH|BASF Business Services]].<br />
<br />
To be somehow usefull, here is the proof, that Python is good and Java and Perl are evil:<br />
<br /><br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="python"><br />
print "Hello world!"<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br /><br />
Although this will have to be written as<br />
<br /><br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="python"><br />
print("Hello world!")<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br /><br />
[http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.0/ from now on], still not bad compared to Java or Visual Basic.<br />
