@stevejb Yeah, I'm not totally buying it. I stay as far away from C# as I possibly can anyway. For this project, it was better than Java.

What a day. Pouring rain, then violent wind (I love the wind), and now it is crystal clear and freezing (I like the cold).

Today a very smart undergrad told me about XAML for user interfaces in C# and Silverlight. I guess Microsoft is joining the open source crew

@bradfordcross I would imagine FAA has specific temperature, weather and wind parameters for determining when deicing is necessary

@bradfordcross That's not incredibly reassuring, a la Continental 3407. Could be interesting model. Flights within airlines, or at locations

Driving to UCLA, in the rain (boo), for last meetings of the quarter.

Anti-Hangover remedy (for me at least): bottle of water, 3 Advil.

3 Long Island iced teas, amaretto sour, 2 mojitos, 2 white Russians. That's a good night.

@bradfordcross Deicing causes a lot of problems: malfunctions, slow workers. Sometimes exhaust gets into the cabin too, causing long delays.

Finally posted a website in my Twitter bio. Nothing exciting yet, just my Department web page.

Got a lot done on my project today. Combining R and Python (rpy2), forking processes and SciPy.

@peteskomoroch Who all was there? I recognize you and @dataspora.

Just got back from BevMo. That place is like a candy store! Found fresh mint, and cinnamon sticks for the drinks. No candy canes though :-(

@hadleywickham There's always plenty of ideas for R packages. Yet for me, time is the issue. :-( Makes me very sad.

I love the holidays. Just took a shot of each of the Schnapps I bought, with a glass of sweet red wine.

@peteskomoroch Haha, sounds like I am a day late, and a few hundred miles away.

@vsbuffalo ...that's why I haven't used them haha. been using list comprehensions, but sometimes it's nice to have shorthand. RIP reduce()

I've never thought to use lambda functions, map() or filter(). Boy, what time savers!!! #python

@vsbuffalo No way! That's terrible. For me it is sort of functional-like bliss.

@ctitusbrown Haha. I used to use mechanize all the time but not much documentation. I mostly just fetch URL's rather than click buttons etc.

Looking up a recipe for Mojitos. I am drinking a lot tomorrow night.

I can't get a straight answer from Google: can SciPy do logistic regression?

I'm a bit sad that R Journal might hurt readership of Journal of Stat Software. :-( #rstats

@emorisse It is. Not great place for a student though (way too much partying). xferred to UCLA after 1 yr. Would love to teach there though.

Last night I had a dream that I was offered a tenure track position at UC Santa Barbara. That was kinda strange. Went there freshman year.

@drewconway LOL I am sure it does. On a bit of a deadline, so I'm just doing what works.

Really liking SciPy for graph data. Now that the network is saved as a sparse matrix, don't need slow NetworkX

@dwf Yeah. I'm interested to see how some of the other NN stuff translates to stats. Is Backprop just gradient descent?
