This past month has been quite exciting. I’ve had so many awesome opportunities and taken part in some fun events. I’ll start off with the good news. Volunteer Work On a whim I put my name forward to be a newshound at TrueSteamAchievements (TSA) and I was successful. Now I get to patrol steam press […]

Last night I did something that is quite out of my comfort zone: I attended an event where I knew no one. Social events bring out my panicky side at the best of times so to attend one where I didn’t have a safety blanket of a friendly face was a little scary. To increase […]

On Saturday we went along to a TEDx talk in Norwich. It was focussed around education but it wasn’t just all about teachers, even though a lot of the people there were teachers or worked directly in education.

I’ve been having a fair bit of trouble with this week’s part of the course. I asked if anyone had any tips and encountered a few others on the course who are also struggling. The general advice is to just copy the notebook and change the bits that are necessary. This is fine – and […]
Read the full article Data Analysis Course Week 4 (Part 3) I tried to start today by finishing off the exercise I was getting frustrated with yesterday but I’m still having no luck. I keep getting errors when I run the cells in Jupyter and so I have the feeling that I’ve not quite understood this section. Maybe the variables in the examples I’ve been given […]
