Hooray, our latest !ubuntu book is out! There's some sort of discount thingy this week too: http://ur1.ca/9smdf2011-09-13T11:33:47+00:00 To: Public
Don't know why I find GR calculations so fun. Maybe it's the sense of achievement when they go right? #cosmology2011-08-15T10:18:39+00:00 in Jyväskylä, Province of Western Finland, Finland To: Public

Went to see Harry Potter last night. Pretty good film, despite the cheesy ending. Now no-one has to pester me to read the books ever again.j1mc likes this.

Annoying numerical integration problem solved. Lesson learned: don't give variables similar-looking names :( #coding2011-07-06T23:09:41+00:00 in Summertown, England, United Kingdom To: Public

Interpolation debugging: Take d = (interp. fn) - (exact fn). If d ~ sawtooth, off-by-one error. If |sin(x)|, intrinsic interp error. #coding2011-06-28T12:57:19+00:00 in Oxford, United Kingdom To: Public

Credulous bullshit in the @guardian: http://is.gd/8x7fdz Astrobiology's interesting, why misrepresent it by reporting shallow conjecture?2011-06-25T10:03:54+00:00 in Summertown, England, United Kingdom To: Public

Ooh, interesting problem for my weekend: 3D interpolation of likelihood when the three coordinate variables are strongly covariate. #cmml2011-06-16T20:35:15+00:00 in Summertown, England, United Kingdom To: Public
(Finally) playing with Amazon S3 and EC2. Good fun! Should be interesting if I can get my MCMC code running on it. #cosmology2011-06-14T22:08:54+00:00 in Summertown, England, United Kingdom To: a(n) person, Shaun McCance, a(n) person, Public

Need MCMC sample from what looks like a significantly multi-modal distribution - what should I use? Thinking of tempered transitions. #cmml
