I wanted to write a short excerpt on going to uni now that it’s over. I suppose 4 years isn’t very long in the grand scheme of things but I feel a great deal has happened in the time; not least the current situation.
Coming Soon…

The new show on URY, Almost Educational, a pool of science facts and chat – Wednesdays @ 4pm on ury.org.uk
In a bell-jar, in a bell-jar, surrounded by its siblings, in a triple-locked vault, in a Parisian basement is a lump of platinum-iridium alloy. It’s cylindrical, shiny, and weighs exactly one kilogram. To what accuracy, well it doesn’t just weigh a kilogram. This is the kilogram. Or at least it was until 2018.

From 1999 in Kokomo, Indiana, a low and constant rumble began to cause headaches in local residents. Try as they might no one managed to identify the source of this noise.

About 3 months ago now I submitted my undergraduate dissertation on machine learning approaches to understanding sentiment of tweets. I did say I’d write a proper blog post about so…. This that blog post.

The last 3 years of my life have been very much dominated by my attending university. I’ve been studying a BSc (Hons) Computer Science at Kingston University London. Of course this culminated in a dissertation and final year project. I want to dive into that a little bit and maybe expand on my thoughts now we’re through the other side of that seemingly infinite tunnel.
My dissertation was regarding automated sentiment tracking and analysis of Tweets. A lot of things came up during this that are actually pretty interesting although not necessarily within the scope of my final report. That being said that didn’t stop me going off on one…

Lily doesn’t think I’m right about my opinions (read as ‘facts’) so I’m writing a blog post; that means it’s true now.
Over the last few weeks I’ve stepped away from various online spafs, and real world ones too for that matter, on Twitter. I took it upon myself to purge my timeline of negativity and just try and keep an overall much happier mood. I’ve found this to greatly improve my well being and I highly suggest you do the same.

The project is sitting in a git repo, it doesn’t really work fully, and no one really wants to touch it again – but I’m bored and I wanna try out flask.
This article is going to be shorter than I expected – probably didn’t need to do it in parts but hey, you got ’em now…

After attending my first hackathon we just about had a working prototype of the project RoadTripr, a website designed to generate the perfect length of Spotify playlist for a road trip. After the event I decided to sort out the issues we had by converting it to Flask. This is my story! dramatic music
Back in April of this year (2017) a couple friends, Cam and May, and I went down to Goldsmiths University for AnvilHack III. This is their annual hackathon run in conjunction with MLH. AnvilHack appears to have a reputation for not only producing some very good end products, but also being one of the most inclusive hackathons in the field.

If you don’t know, RollR is the web app prototype I have been working on for several months now as a result of a university assignment. You can visit it here.
Feel free to play with the site, if you have any comments please feel free to contact me via twitter.
