Dude, have you received my brocard?

Right now: Berlin's mayor giving his speech prior to my prof receiving the science prize of the city.

Just got my complimentary copy of "Implementing Reproducible Research". Web or not, printed stuff always looks much more serious. ;)

Yay, PayPal has a recent post on their use of DeepLearning, and they are clearly using jblas! :)

It's light out in Berlin. #severeweatherwarning

After the EU workshop on big data skills I walked back to the main station of Brussels. It's an odd city. Lots of construction and abandoned office buildings.

Good morning, Brussels.

Goodbye, Switzerland.

Now it's time for the introduction to numpy and friends by Jan Müller from idalab. #data2day

Another interesting case study by @clueda: scala+play+akka+elasticsearch+neo4j #data2day

Next up, @JanSimonG talking about secure Big Data. #data2day

Day 2 at #data2day starting with a talk whose title is veeeeeery close to the one I held last week in Barcelona ;)

Somehow I ended up in the author signing line at #StrataHadoop, and I must say this looks like a pretty awesome book. Very high level, covers all of the current bits and pieces around the Hadoop infrastructure and has a ton of practical insights and advice. Definitely looking forward to the final version.

And now, @pacoid on Spark Streaming. #StrataHadoop
