Hello world

Posted on Sun 27 January 2019 in misc

I am currently pursuing a career change in to data science after previously working as a geophysicist.

As part of this process, I have decided to start blogging my progress in training to become a data scientist, not to share my progress through education, but to give myself an outlet to explore practical data science through my real world interests. What does this mean? Creating data science projects that explore the following themes:

  • Geology, Geophysics or Georeferenced Data
  • Gaming (Video and Modern Board Games)
  • Design and Visualisation (Infographics)

The first couple of posts I'm working on are how to set up a free blog using Jupyter notebooks with Anaconda, which is a slightly different approach to lots of the existing guides online. Then following implementing a board game in my coursework, The Three Musketeers, I'm keen on trying on a game that isn't completely asymmetric (possibly a interface, solver and/or board generator for Sudoku or Nonograms).

Thats all for now, but as I'm making use of Jupyter notebooks, I feel compelled to at least use some Python, so in time honoured tradition:
