Data Scientist by day, geek tech gamer junky by night.

It’s a date used historically in sci-fi, and particularly a Cyberpunk RPG game I loved as a teen… so excited for the Cyberpunk 2077 title that’s coming in September! Games I’ve been playing: Modern Warfare – today reached level 155 in Season 1; heaps of fun, but the updates have been a nightmare having to download DLC packs multiple times Sekiro –…

Today I experienced my first bricked Solid State Drive. Bad news; is that I lost months worth of finished propensity models. Good news; it was at work, nothing personal… and all backed up to OneDrive π I thought they lasted close to forever, so I’ll be sure to backup everything this weekend, suggest you all do the same!

5 hours or so ago my Twitter account was suspended π Usually it gives me a prompt to enter my phone number… but not today! I have been suspended a couple of times lately due to re-tweets of ‘how to stream some sporting event for free’; if this is the case again I’ll have to look into how I can prevent my bot from sharing those in the future. Let’s…

I’ve been a vegetarian, sometimes vegan, for…

I’ve been back to Blighty for July to see whΔnau, except for catching up with old friends for a gamer night my only digital fix has been DOTA Underlords. Then to postpone my gaming and gym training even more I injured my right trigger finger Monday Tuesday π Geek highlight of my trip was picking up a few old toys: Sony MiniDisk player original GameBoy (couldn’t find my GB Advance)…

The latest Pratchett, and Gaiman, TV adaptation – Good Omens Good Omens, the genius of Pratchett’s with the twist of Gaiman, a collaboration made in heaven & hell. I find it hard to believe this was released in 1990, I’d been reading and collecting Pratchett novels before then, and this was my first intro to Gaiman So now 29 years later we finally have this high budget adaptation of the…
notepad plus plus for Linux I use notepad++ at work on a windows machine, I find it great for taking notes, and editing SQL scripts on the go. For a long time Geany has been my goto Linux file editor, but it might now get more limited use in the future now that notepad++ is available in Linux, via snap π Crazy too, that I think this is my first…
