As many of you know, Aric Hagberg and I presented a half-day introductory workshop to NetworkX this summer at the Sunbelt conference in Italy. Given the cost and difficulty of actually getting to Riva del Garda for the conference (Aric and I can each attest to that), I understand that attending the workshop was impossible [...]

The title says it all. I am absolutely floored by your generosity in helping me build my bookshelf. To pay homage to your wonderful philanthropy, I have created the Bookshelf Hall of Fame page above, which lists those individuals who have been so generous in donating books to further my education. Finally, I would like [...] Two quick announcements today related to software development and my research. First, a little over a year ago I started the ZIA Code Repository, which is an online directory of code I produced either in support of my own research or as examples for teaching. While box.net has served me well for these many months, I feel it is time to move my coding projects to a platform that is better suited to support fluid development and collaboration. As such, today I am officially moving all current and future software projects to my repository on github.com. Most of my work has already been transitioned to github directories, so for those that have followed this will constitute very little change. For the time being, I will keep the old ZIA Code Repository open as an archive, and possibly push single-use type files there, though I hope to have a separate repository on github for code of this kind eventually. If you are a github user, please feel free to connect with me and share code and comments. Continue reading Code Repository to Github; GMM Code Re-Write No sooner do I post my (controversial?) list of reasons why grad students blog, then I must take an extended leave of absence. As others have rightly pointed out, course and academic research comes first. In a few days I will be heading to Europe for, among other things, Sunbelt XXX to hobnob with [...] As you may have already noticed (I went live a bit early during the testing), rather than add a new bell or whistle to ZIA to celebrate its two year birthday, I decided to give the site a slight redesign! I was getting tired of the three things: the overall crowding of text caused by the three column layout, the size of the top banner, and the clashing of colors throughout the site. So, I decided to kill the left column, redesign the banner, and go with a green, grey and black motif for the introductory colors. What do you think? Here is the side by side comparison:
As I said yesterday, part of the fun in blogging is getting familiar with the technical details of web design, and this experiment continues. I welcome all thoughts and criticism of the new look. Before I go off and gorge myself on cake and…work—as I did last year—here are posts from the previous year that I thought should have received a bit more love than they did: Continue reading ZIA Welcomes the Terrible Twos with a New Look NOTE: Jeff Gentry, the developer of the twitteR package has uploaded version 0.1.3 of the package to CRAN. This update was in response to some of the errors that were plaguing my live-demo; therefore, if you plan to use this script I highly recommend upgrading to this version before proceeding. In support of the talk I [...] On Tuesday I will be speaking to the Bay Area R group about doing social network analysis in R with igraph. During the talk I will (hopefully) be doing some live SNA on the audience using R and generating data via Twitter. As a preview, or small taste for those not able to [...] Friend to this blog Mike Innes, founder of the outstanding Complex Terrain Lab has recently decided to branch out on his own with a new blog called Monkwire. Thus far, Mike’s main contributions have been thorough compilations of interesting links related to his primary focuses: conflict and technology. If you are a reader of [...] Today I begin the second leg of my journey to a doctorate in political science (please, hold your applause). As such, over the next few days I will be acclimating myself with a new schedule and set of responsibilities, which will undoubtedly be far removed from the relative stasis I have grown accustomed to over [...] |
