Crossposting

 I have been rather quiet here, my personal blog for a variety of reasons, mainly because past collaborations encroaching into the spare after-hours I would otherwise dedicate to it (i.e. weekend early mornings). I have been involved in various projects, many of which I would like to write blog post about or people would like me to write about, so I am well behind on what I would like to post. However, as part of OPIG, I have written a few posts there (Blopig), some on requests (who would willingly write about fixing CUDA installations or exposing Jupyter notebooks in a compute node via reverse port forwarding?) and some out of personal choice.

Custom carbon colours in py3Dmol

 Due to NGLView (the Python module) having a frozen older IPywidget version it breaks Colab and the major change for the latter library was a year ago (early 2023), so I am forced to revisit old code and switch to py3Dmol in my Colab demos. Today I figured out how to use custom carbon colours.
