    NXClient on Ubuntu Gutsy

    If you, like me, already upgrade to Ubuntu Gutsy, and use nxclient for remote login (highly recommended, though proprietary code), you might run into the problem that the login no longer works, returning the message “Cannot find KDE environment.”.

    JChemPaint too: PNG embedded connectivity tables

    Automatic Classification of thousands of Crystal Structures

    Clustering and classification of crystal structures is hot. Parkin hit the front cover of CrystEngComm with a story on Comparing entire crystal structures: structural genetic fingerprinting (DOI:10.1039/b704177b). Now, the story itself, while rather interesting and well written, has three major flaws:

    Operator 0.8 released: a new Sechemtic user script

    Mike released Operator 0.8, which picks up RDF (RDFa en eRDF) from HTML pages, and adds actions to it. I blogged earlier about the beta and wrote a script for it for chemical RDFa. At this moment, Chemical blogspace and RDF for Molecular Space (see this blog) are using chemical RDFa to semantically markup molecular information.
