Python - analysing large files - some notes to self
I use Python to post process large amounts of spike data from my simulations. This post documents some observations I've made while writing my scripts.
Some notes on programming languages and web development
Just some notes on different programming languages that one can use for web development. Includes Python, RoR, Rust, Erlang?
Quickly scripting a grid-search for parameter tuning
Finding the right set of parameters is quite important in a lot of research - machine learning and computational neuroscience are two fields that I know of. I recently had to ascertain the optimal parameter set for my simulations too. I came up with a quick script to do it for me.
Tinkering with OpenLayers and JS - Cajal - a hacked up neuroscience research map
I was tinkering with JavaScript and OpenLayers recently and came up with a web application that shows the different Neuroscience labs on the world and some summary information on them. Still needs a lot of data to be really useful, but it's a start.
Some tips and tricks for running simulations on a cluster
I use the cluster here at university to run my simulations in Nest. This post documents some tips and tricks I've come up with to make my cluster tasks easier.

New Zaphod release - v0.5.7
I've released a new version of Zaphod - A LaTeX change tracking tool that I've been working on recently.
Zaphod - a LaTeX change tracking tool
Introducing Zaphod - a Python script that attempts to help LaTeX users collaborate over their academic writing. It uses the power of Git to track changes, latexdiff to generate a PDF with annotated additions and removals from the document, and provides a simple interactive review tool that lets the user pick what changes they want to accept. You can use Zaphod to track changes in your LaTeX documents.
Pelican and github pages - a quickstart
A quick post on how to get started with Pelican using Github pages.
Using Vim for C/C++ development efficiently
Vim is a great editor. Here are some tips and plug-ins that I've collected over the years that will help you use it better while writing C/C++ code.
