My current employment victim, PetaGene, has just scored $2.1 M in funding. Great news for an amazing team!
A cover I designed for the Cooper Group’s work on COF catalysis has been published in Nature Chemistry (article link, screengrab).
This was one of several variations on the design (click for high-res):
Although organic photocatalysts are an attractive option for water splitting because they can be tuned relatively easily through synthesis, they tend not to be very efficient. Now, a team led by Andrew Cooper has shown that a covalent organic framework (COF) comprising β-ketoenamine nodes and benzothiophene sulfone-based linkers is a good hydrogen-evolution catalyst (an artistic representation of the process is shown on the cover). Its activity — attributed to the COF’s crystallinity, strong visible-light absorption and the wettable, hydrophilic nature of its sulfone-lined mesopores — can be further improved by dye sensitization.
After many weekends and evenings of fixing little bugs, cleaning up
the codebase, and polishing the build, I’ve finally managed to publish
v1.0.0 of jobson
.
I open-sourced jobson
late November 2017. The version I demoed
here was already close
to release-grade in terms of implementation (the server had >200
tests, was used in prod, etc.). However, the deployment, installation, documentation, and maintenance needed work.
For the open-source release, I wanted to make sure that jobson
was
OSS-grade before putting a 1.0.0
badge on it. The main changes over
the last year are:
float
, int
, long
, etc.)I plan on patching 1.0.0
slightly with some little annoyances I
spotted (immediately after deploying, of course), followed by another
round of YouTube videos and other media. After that, it’s time to
start slowly chipping away at 1.1.0
.
After several days of faffing around with Docker and build systems, I’ve finally managed to launch a demo’s page here. I’ll eventually integrate these into my about page, but they’re at least a useful resource for showing some of the technologies I’ve worked with.
One useful side-product of this work is that Jobson now has a basic docker image, which enables users to boot a pre-integrated Jobson UI + Jobson stack.
