Does something to do with digital analytics and statistics, occasionally lifts heavy things and is interested in dinosaurs. Work related blog at contoleon.com.
And there goes the office fire alarm the second morning in a row. How hard is it to not burn the fucking toast?
Looks like I have just stumbled onto an onion made of fuck ups and issues. So many different layers...
I dream of a day when important requirements are not "phase two"ed by developers. Especially when they start to introduce more data cleaning work, which will become all but impossible to resolve permanently.
Watching doctor strangelove again. Shame there wasn't a sequel, I want to know if there was actually a mine shaft gap.
why is safari for ios so hideously broken
i'm going to cry
why can't it obey the w3 specifications and work like a normal web browser
oh my god
Apparently describing some aspect of our reporting as 'duct tape all the way down' was amusing to my boss. I will have to remember that line, could get more use out of it.
Why of course I enjoy learning to use poorly documented platforms....
Attempting to switch my brain back on for the only two days I am in the office this week.
Happy ancient Roman torture device appreciation day everyone!
Funny story. Test sites for clinical trials where reasons for patients dropping out isn't communicated.
I am spending more time writing javascript than R, and I am doing less statistical analysis than some marketers. Can't say this is ideal.
Wondering why I was not able to find motivation during lunch. perhaps more coffee is needed.
There is this book called "Last Chance to See". it was written by a British comedian documenting a number of trips he did to see a few charismatic vertebrates threatened with extinction. However he didn't include the Great Barrier Reef. Given the last round of bleaching, and the high chance of another event (not to mention issues with crown of thorns starfish and run off) perhaps he should have. http://www.sciencealert.com/heartbroken-scientists-admit-the-great-barrier-reef-is-now-terminal
Shame that there isn't the same level of data for the Western Australian state election as there was for the Las Australian federal election. I wanted to see if those voting pattern groups based on preference flows existed at state level too....
@sargoth Plush elephants!
Marketing stunt: sell them at the RNC, and then watch the blogosphere explode as all those good decent people realize they contributed financial support to an ungodly cyber-cocktail of witches, queers, anarchists, atheists, and—worst of all—all of the above, in French.
stupid SPSS menus
That moment when you completely forget how to do a repeated measure anova.....
Was catching up with my sister on the weekend and we ended up talking about models. Apparently she has to deal with some suppliers who see a crude 80% accuracy metric as good enough to finish with. Totally insane.
why on earth am I more anxious about my last four subjects on my masters than I was in all the ones before.
Suppose I should stop having a Friday night now and start to work on that assignment.
