Domain and hosting renewed until 2026

I just paid for another two years of web hosting for 324 USD (13.5 USD per month). I upgraded my account from a Business account (7.5 USD per month) to a Business II account, which is the same package but with a bit more storage. I upgraded my account because I decided I’m going to…

Twelfth year: Python

As this blog enters its twelfth year, I am finally using Python instead of Perl as my scripting language of choice (which is contrary to what I said two years ago!). As I wrote in my learning Python repo, my interest in deep learning finally tipped me over since several popular deep learning frameworks (TensorFlow,…

Ten years

As of today, it has been a decade since my first post on this blog. It started aimlessly during my PhD as a place to post analysis notes for myself and ten years later it still remains so. However, over the years I have started to focus more on better project management practices and on…

I’ve also added HTTPS…

5th anniversary

I started this blog on the 1st of October in 2010 and last year I decided to write an anniversary post to recap four years of blogging. I had decided to write another anniversary post this year, however, I am a day late; this is not without good reason! I have, as of the 28th…

Back to the basics

As the first post of this year, I’d like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. 2014 was a year where I focused much more on reading papers, hence the lack of posts on this blog (for those interested in what I have been reading, you can check out my incomplete notes on my second…
