It holds both the data and publication quality graphs and can retrieve data from multiple database platforms (in my case sqlite).
  6. 4/24/2019 22:05:31 Keisuke Sehara NA 1 TB 100 MB < x < 1TB Yes Postdoc Mac OS I have one/several paper notebook Git, External HD No slack, git, latex, markdown GitHub, GitLab, GIN I managed to get things done, somewhat I can teach it I managed to get things done, somewhat frequently XP and Vista for experiments. No plan of upgrading I want everything to be done fast and automatic. I don't want to spend my time describing about the data format (and being told that my way does not conform to some specifications), or waiting for hours for a file to be uploaded (only to know next morning that it failed). To me, describing about things something with second importance. I want to avoid it, but I feel obliged to do it because I think it is important to some extent. Otherwise, I would consider it to be a waste of time. There are other important issues that I must put efforts into. In this sense, building an internal server sounds like a very good first step. I would be very happy if pushing large data becomes easier and faster.

  8. 7/3/2019 13:11:59 Hatem Oraby Inactive account so, N/A 2.5TB 100 MB < x < 1TB No Phd student Windows part papernotebook + part stored as part of animals config Onedrive account + googledrive backup + an external harddisk that I'm not actively backing up Yes Github + airtrack website. Both, shamefully, are incomplete work but seems good enough for people to start sending us more questions when they are stuck slack, git, markdown GitHub I can read it, but not write it I can teach it I managed to get things done, somewhat I can teach it D, C, Arduino, bash scripting and few things here and ther frequently None My first and utmost priority is for the data to be automatically backed up once they are acquired, I don't want for anyone to go few steps to get things backed up, otherwise a mess starts to happen. I have few restrictions imposed on our workflow, we use MATLAB, which we can't ditch on the short-run, and our license comes from HU. Accordingly to use MATLAB, we have to be on the HU VPN. I also try to have a remote desktop access for easier debugging, I use TeamViewer but recently I started switching to chrome remote desktop. All our training machines are using the same OneDrive account, this is great for couple of reasons: 1. Animals data and run configuration are shared among all computers. 2. They share the code base for the experiment, I update it on the onedrive webview and it automatically propagates to all machines. - One shortcoming of such system is that each Bpod (our training behavior system) has its own configuration (e.g Calibration profile of the solenoids reaction time). To get around that while still backing up the files, we use symbolic links where all Bpods use the same configuration folder, but on each computer, the folder points to a different backed-up directory - For Onedrive, if you are running Windows 10, then each computer downloads only the parts it needs so that saves on space. Unfortunately, we have couple of Windows 7 computers and they have to synchronize and download everything. I think we can update one computer to Windows 10 but the second is difficult to update for the time being. Our data analysis is split between Python and Matlab. For Matlab, we are reusing code base from a lab that we are collaborating with, Adam Kepecs lab. Anything I'm writing new, I write in Python and Matplotlib. I'm not a very good user of numpy, but I like to use Pandas to analyze and work my data. For what I like to have, I would like to have: 1. Automated backup for data (which we have for the most part) 2. Putting git on the training machines creates a small files that slows the computers, and makes simple code uploads more tedious. Therefore I don't upload the git folders, but on the other hand there is no easy way for the people who train to switch back to previous version of the code if I introduced a bug one day and I wasn't available on site. 3. Ideally, I would like to trigger daily chron jobs to do some post-processing on the acquired data. I'm happy to go into more details in any of these points.
