I can't seem to find a straighforward mechanism of resubmitting specific tasks in a Sun Grid Engine (SGE) array job, so I rolled my own. There's not much to it, but it's ideal for small array jobs where the failed tasks can be specified by hand.
Being on the brink of going back to graduate school and going through all of my notes and papers, I have realized that my computer has become a massive pile of electronic paperwork. I have folders I didn’t know exist and keep finding little gems of information I completely forgot about. Also, we just moved to Arizona and moved 30+ file boxes of my husband’s class notes and “important” papers from his recently completed PhD . As, I stared at the boxes piled up on a fold-out table in our garage, I thought ‘there must be a better way’. So, I started searching for software to save me from getting totally lost in the electronic jungle during my graduate career. I found a really neat application called Yojimbo that has a slick way to store documents that allows you to tag the documents and add keywords. Additionally, it has an encription feature so you can even store personal information about passwords or you details on your secret plot to take over the world :) It is similar to an email software I used called mail tags that has transformed my inbox and makes it so I can actually find things. I have been using it for the last two weeks and now store all of my notes and random paperwork there. I have been really impressed by how integrated it is with the entire OS. With a simple copy and click on the F8 key it imports all of my info into Yojimbo. Or, you can drag in docs to the side bar or print PDFs to Yojimbo from where ever you are (email, word, the web). I also really like the “smart collection” feature in the software, where you set a few keywords and all of the docs matching those keys words pop up. Little by little, I am adding all of my random electronic paperwork there and even just added a great recipe from Ken on how to make a Texas sheet cake (now I might actually get a chance to make it!). The bad news is that it is not free…the cost is $29 for an academic license. But, I think it is totally worth it and is a must have for all mac users :)
