Tasks from the earlier week with notes / results.
[ ]v.py : Minimum 10 lines this week, gain familiarity with the concept and document notes. Some progress has already been made propelled asciilifeform’s comment regarding v.py being the non-docker solution to reproducible environment. Notes so far will be published today.- Produced prelim notes. As such it is a win, compared to avoiding it, but I could not go beyond this.
[X]Complete draft response to Diana’s comment on the ‘indiewebifying my website’ post and publish.- See blog post.
[ ]GLMnet: Linear Regression algorithm is showing different (and some strange) results on different computers. This has to be replicated and investigated. Additional revision of past learning on Linear regression to be done, and preferably published.- I did revise my earlier studies in Linear Regression, but could not attack the problem. The task will be addressed next week.
[X]Summarise the article feelings are out to get you- See blog post.
[X]Formulate a checklist based on CH article, and add related tasks next week.- See blog post. Some tasks have already been completed.
[X]Re-evaluate and Re-prioritise tasks/projects from past ‘plan’ to ‘conquer’ datascience such that more time/energy/focus is given to tasks from Diana and TMSR.- This should reflect in the upcoming weeks, through the plan and the results. There are several pending projects that I can pick from.
[X]Summarise progress this week and plan next and post this on or before.[X]Maintain consistent communication on #ossasepia and get into the habit of publishing draft notes, even if ‘incomplete’ or transient, with a ‘Q&A’ section, so that Diana can review.- Improvement has been made in this regard. It has to be maintained consistently.
1 “Other things”
- Meandered into updating my website. Followed the outline in Trilema post and covered most of it. In the process, learnt some PHP and gained some knowledge about WP under the good. I was able to port features from one theme to another, and create a new page template.
- Enabled syntax highlighting for Emacs lisp in the current WP theme by assigning it to the same syntax highlighting (+ recognition) as clojure. This is a good win, because almost all the Emacs posts looked terrible.
[ ]A side project is to put these changes into a fork and initiate a PR to the main theme. I am certain to find other ways to enhance the theme in time. The developer has stated he would welcome this on IRC.
- Ported almost all the notes/posts published on my earlier website into WP, and figured out the correct method to upload inline images from org2blog. This was a relief, because past articles could be easily uploaded, images and all. Most of the detailed notes can be found under the Technical notes category, and this includes the notes made on Docker last week.
- Posted an issue / reached out to the developer regarding specifying taxonomy and other aspects while exporting from org2blog.
- Improved the categorisation and tags on website, though there is still a large number of uncategorised articles.
2 Areas of improvement
- wasted time with the web futzing. From my side – I am now satisfied with the results and will only look at aesethetic improvements as low priority projects. Though it was exciting to be able to modify the themes settings and get results – it was not important at this point.
- I have reached the point of review in time, (which is better than last week) and some tasks have spilled over. However, I expect to catch up this week and do better. It was also satisfying to implement the guideline in the Trilema article. I guess I am starting to use the WoT.
