Fiddling with a Fitbit Charge HR
I purchased a Fitbit Charge HR this morning. Although primarily motivated by my partner’s latest pursuit for improved fitness, I guess any excuse for self-quantification is a good one for a statistician like me.
Wrangling WordPress
In my previous post, I admitted to switching back to WordPress. Here is what I learned and some of the pros and cons I’ve encountered so far.
Welcome back, WordPress
I’d fallen in and out of love with WordPress years ago, but I’ve come full circle, betrayed my vow to never use WordPress again and am trying it out for myself, once more. Here’s why.
Metahaplome
Paths
My back of the envelope worst case calculation indicates 2.8 million decillion decillion possible valid paths so in retrospect, yes it was a bad idea to try and enumerate these to a terminal.
The Tolls of Bridge Building: Part IV, Mysterious Malformations
Following a short hiatus on the sample un-improvement job which may or may not have been halted by vr-pipe inadvertently knocking over a storage node at the Sanger Institute, our 837 non-33 jobs burst back in to life only to fall at the final hurdle of the first pipeline of the vr-pipe workflow. Despite my […]

The Tolls of Bridge Building: Part III, Sample (Un)Improvement
Previously, on Samposium: I finally had the 870 lanelets required for the sample improvement process. But in this post, I explain how my deep-seated paranoia in the quality of my data just wasn’t enough to prevent what happened next. I submitted my 870 bridged BAMs to vr-pipe, happy to essentially be rid of having to […]
The Tolls of Bridge Building: Part II, Construction
Last time on Samposium, I gave a more detailed look at the project I’m working on and an overview of what has been done so far. We have 870 lanelets to pre-process and improve into samples. In this post, I explain how the project has turned into a dangerous construction site. While trying to anticipate […]
