Drop Bear Code: Python Powered Computational Geometry at PyConAU
http://dropbearcode.blogspot.com/2012/08/python-powered-computational-geometry.html
Thoughts of an Aussie developer. Tuesday, 14 August 2012. Python Powered Computational Geometry at PyConAU. I'll be speaking with a colleague at PyConAU 2012. This weekend. We'll be giving a 30 minute talk on Python Powered Computational Geometry. The emphasis will be on how the right python tools can help you rapidly prototype solutions, visualise results, and generally get stuff done efficiently, without worrying too much about implementation details. The full talk description as published is as follow:.

Drop Bear Code: PyConAU 2013
http://dropbearcode.blogspot.com/2013/07/pyconau-2013.html
Thoughts of an Aussie developer. Saturday, 13 July 2013. Thankfully I managed to get back to PyConAU this year, and again it was an absolutely fantastic conference. The organising committee really have done an amazing job. If you're looking for a detailed break-down of highlights from the conference, I recommend you check out Graeme Cross's post on his blog Curious Venn. This year I spoke on Managing scientific simulations with Python with RQ (Redis Queue). Or on the PyConAU YouTube channel.

Drop Bear Code: September 2011
http://dropbearcode.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Thoughts of an Aussie developer. Wednesday, 14 September 2011. Search pypi through an authenticating proxy. In an effort to do more rigorous python testing, I've been looking into alternative packaging tools that facilitate building isolated test environments. Previously I'd used easy install and distribute. A popular alternative that plays nicely with virtulenv is pip. However, I've (informally) tested similar code in pip by patching download.py. And can confirm that it worked correctly on my system.

Drop Bear Code: Generating n-dimensional graphs
http://dropbearcode.blogspot.com/2013/01/generating-n-dimensional-graphs.html
Thoughts of an Aussie developer. Sunday, 6 January 2013. Package has great support for a whole range of graphs that appear in common situations. One thing that pops up occasionally is the need for slightly more sophisticated lattices (grid graphs) than what are available. For example, when you're modelling a discrete approximation to position and heading in two dimensions - position should not wrap, but the heading should. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Drop Bear Code: December 2011

Thoughts of an Aussie developer. Tuesday, 6 December 2011. Mechanical Keyboards in Australia. Since I am using vim more and more these days, finding a better keyboard has been bouncing round in the back of my head, probably because of Jeff Atwoods blog post "We Are Typists First, Programmers Second". From back in 2008. There are some great online resources out there if you're starting to look into high quality (mechanical) keyboards. Mechanical keyboards at geekhack. Keyboard peak and activation forces.

Drop Bear Code: A Centenary of Turing
http://dropbearcode.blogspot.com/2012/06/centenary-of-turing.html
Thoughts of an Aussie developer. Saturday, 23 June 2012. A Centenary of Turing. One hundred years ago today, June the 23rd, 1912, Alan Turing was born. He is arguably one of the most significant mathematicians born in the 20th century. If you're interested in Turing, I strongly recommend Andrew Hodges biography - Alan Turing: The Enigma. For me, Turing stands as a reminder of many things:. His work demonstrates the greatness of modern science - in particular how important independent thinking and hard wo...

Thoughts of an Aussie developer. Saturday, 18 August 2012. PyConAU 2012 - Day 0. PyCon Australia has started for 2012! The venue for the conference is beautiful, looking out over the water in Hobart, with an amazing view of all the boats. After registration it was time to grab swag bags, and get ready for CodeWars, the first event of the conference. The very monty-python like conference t-shirt. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Thoughts of an Aussie developer. Saturday, 26 May 2012. Minimum time value iteration solution of the double integrator. I've spent the last week of spare time working of a value iteration problem for the underactuated robotics subject I've been working on. In particular this has involved finding the optimal policy of how to get the undamped double integrator to the origin in minimum time ( github gist of code. Sunday, 13 May 2012.

Drop Bear Code: February 2012
http://dropbearcode.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Thoughts of an Aussie developer. Tuesday, 14 February 2012. Building ipython from source. Late last year I saw a demonstration of one of the newest versions of ipython at the Melbourne Python Users Group. It was perhaps one of the most astonishing pieces of open source software I've seen, with a new web-based notebook interface that is very similar to what you would expect in a commercial package like MATLAB or Mathematica.
