Proteomics stuff
Peptide Atlas: a multi-organism, publicly accessible compendium of peptides identified in a large set of tandem mass spectrometry proteomics experiments.
TPP developers' group, TPP users' group
NIST Peptide Mass Spectral Libraries
Mayu: analysis of (large) mass spectrometry-based shotgun proteomics data sets. Mayu determines protein identification false discovery rates (protFDR), peptide identification false discovery rates (pepFDR) and peptide-spectrum match false discovery rates (mFDR) using a novel robust and fast strategy. Developed by Lukas Reiter.

General computational biology stuff
The Pipe Protein Information and Property Explorer, developed at ISB by Hector Ramos
Swiss-Prot curated protein sequence database
Amigo: browser for the Gene Ontology database
ftp://ftp.uniprot.org/pub/databases/uniprot/current_release/knowledgebase/complete: Download Swiss-Prot and other UniProt databases, updated every 3 weeks. UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot purportedly contains the canonical human proteome (The UniProt Consortium, "The Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) 2009, Nucleic Acids Research 2008 1-6) consisting of 20,325 entries for UniProt release 14.0. Swiss-Prot release 56.6 of 16-Dec-08 contains 20,333 human proteins.
[ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/repository/UniGene/Homo_sapiens: Download NCBI's UniGene human. Contains chromosomal information, among many other data.

General programming stuff
Unix shell: bash/tcsh syntax differences
Bash: Bash shell reference manual, Bash tips, Bash tests and comparators.
Sed: Nice sed (stream editor) reference sed one-liners
Vim: A Byte of Vim, the text editor. Sweet little Vim recipes.
Perl: Steve Litt's Perl's of Wisdom, Perl tutorials, and www.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave/PERL/, another nice Perl reference.
Python: www.python.org/doc: Helpful links for Python programmers.
svn: One-page version of the subversion book.
gnu screen: One-page ref manual. Screen allows you to run several terminal sessions from one window, and allows sessions to persist after you close the window. Very handy if you want to take your work home with you -- close windows, then resume screen from your home computer.
