Ducks

Heya!

I like ducks. Have some ducks:

....teaching is not easy, and I don't like preparing content week-by-week (i.e. preparing content to teach the next week) very much at all.

I recognise this is the longest break in blog posts there has been since I began this on 29th June 2014 (wow, it has been 10 years here already?!). Both energy and time are extraordinarily low at the moment (I have not had even a moment to work on my PhD corrections in over a month at this point).

However, there is hope that this is not a permanent state of affairs (and if I have anything to say about it, it won't be).

Hopefully in a few weeks things should improve to the point that I have energy to work on my PhD and post here again.

I've got several cool ideas for posts that I want to write:

• Most obviously, I want to write a blog post about my experiences teaching
• I've found a really neat solution to a 3-way split of a dataset in Tensorflow

And others that are a thing in the background.

Just a short check in to let everyone know that while I am very exhausted I am also very determined to keep this blog going as a permanent thing.

It's not much of a 10 year celebration, but if you've been reading here for a while I thank you SO MUCH for continuing to stick around, even if you don't comment.

There is always hope.
