Office social graph connectivity using NetworkX

I wanted an excuse to play with the Python NetworkX graph visualisation library and recently I joined AdaptiveLab to consult on some data science & visualisation problems. Thus formed the question – how were we all connected together? I figured that looking at who follows us all will yield a little insight into the people […]

StartupChile (Round 2.1) all finished, thoughts

The odd thing is that I’ve been trying to write this post for 3 months. Having started and stopped several times (including during the flight back from Chile on Oct 15th) I figure I ought to put something out. The journey was, it turns out, somewhat of a roller-coaster ride. Early in January Kyran Dale […]

Bloody awful air in Santiago (“killer air”?)

I’m a London boy. I grey up on clouds of smoke (albeit not Dickensian-smoke but still…much pollution). Having traveled parts of the world I haven’t often encountered really bad pollution. Santiago has reset my levels. When running up San Cristobel (the big hill in the centre of Santiago) a few weeks back it was possible […]

Mentorship groups in StartupChile

A group of us have been running a mentorship group here in StartupChile, it makes up for the lack of external mentorship (a sad deficiency in the programme). I think that more startups ought to be in mentorship groups so I’ll write about what we do. What is it? A group of 6 of us […]

StartupChile, PyCon, StrongSteam

As ever with a startup – there’s always too much to do and the game is all about juggling burning balls whilst figuring out which shouldn’t be dropped. We’re rather busy here. Yesterday Emily and I finished the paperwork for our first reimbursement round at StartupChile. This is the part of the process that gets […]

Santiago – first few days

I’d better log our first few days before the crazyness of signing up to the programme kicks off on Monday. Emily (my fiancée) is also blogging for her TinyEars StartupChile project. We arrived safely on Wednesday after 18 hours of travel – BA treated us well (reasonably comfy seats and reasonable food). We were hustled […]

SocialTies is coming

Slowly but surely we’re getting there with our social-discovery app for conferences. We aim to have SocialTies in the UK iPhone App Store in the next few weeks. I demoed it to several hundred folk at EuroPython a few weeks back and it was rather well received. Currently the Android BETA is linked from the […]

And on with 2011

Earlier this year I switched back to my long-running artificial intelligence and CUDA high performance computing consultancy work through Mor Consulting. Having sold ProCasts earlier in the year and moved entirely away from screencasting (leaving ShowMeDo in Kyran’s capable hands) I wanted to get back to the nitty gritty of low level algorithms and implementations. […]

£5 App #23 – “Things we built this summer”

Last Tuesday we had our 23rd £5 App event, given that it is only our second event this year we chose to let people “show and tell” about the things they built this summer. We had 9 speakers, I bought the beer, John baked the cakes. Shardcore and the Englightenment Machine Shardcore‘s Enlightenment Machine was […]
