Moving country is exhausting. Living in a house full of boxes for a few weeks. Finding a house. Changing culture. Maybe it's a linguistic thing, but EU countries do not share the same culture. OK, we too have a McDonalds on every corner, but that's about it. But returning to The Netherlands was a cultural shock. A shock? Yes. I thought I knew the country I lived in most of my life.

Then, switching position.

Yeah, I did it. I made the first new development release (1.5.0) for the CDK after the fork of the stable 1.4.x series. It had to happen after the removal of IMolecule and IMoleculeSet.  Well, in fact, while the list just lists all the patches specific for the current master branch, it is still fairly long. Then again, quite a few of my 'commits' are probably just merges.

Six month was not quite the amount of time I anticipated between the third and fourth edition, but I finally managed to upload edition 1.4.7-0 of my Groovy Cheminformatics book. The first three editions sold 37 copies, including two for myself. Enough to feel supported and to continue working on it.

So, this new edition is again thicker, summing up to 152 pages now, which is 28 pages more than the 3rd edition.

I found in the Groovy JChemPaint repository a script I had not blogged about yet, explaining how to change the default background color. It's fairly simple, and just uses parameters. Starting from the common pattern to set up a renderer, you set the background parameter:

backgroundColor = Color.lightGray;

model = renderer.getRenderer2DModel()

model.set(

BasicSceneGenerator.BackgroundColor.class,

backgroundColor

)

The full script can be found here.

This blog deals with chemblaics in the broader sense. Chemblaics (pronounced chem-bla-ics) is the science that uses computers to solve problems in chemistry, biochemistry and related fields. The big difference between chemblaics and areas such as chem(o)?informatics, chemometrics, computational chemistry, etc, is that chemblaics only uses open source software, open data, and open standards, making experimental results reproducible and validatable. And this is a big difference!
