Checking the wiring before work

Hey Twisters, Little Data here again. I’ve spent all of today doing absolutely nothing but watching shomi and eating. I didn’t do anything in my room which I am supposed to have finished cleaning, I didn’t shower even though I needed to, I ate all junk food including a huge chocolate bar and cookies, and I didn’t work on my novel which I promised myself I would do. The only mildly productive thing I did today was get dressed. Now I’m sitting here in my bed with my cookie monster paci, wearing no pants (Batman boxer-briefs are better than pants anyway so I’m wearing those instead), a massive mens button down shirt (which might be mostly unbuttoned because buttoning shirts is for squares) because it makes me feel cute, cuddling my triceratops and Parker, and watching Sons of Anarchy. I feel like a kid and I’m warm and happy and sleepy and I wanna stay that way, just give me someone to cuddle with who will play with my hair as I doze off and I could be perfectly content to just stay here forever. Unfortunately I have nobody to cuddle with and nobody to play with my hair and nobody to tell me how cute I look right now and thinking about all of that makes me really sad and I don’t like that. 

Forget being a semi-functional adult. I wanna be a mostly functional little kid who gets to take naps and eat cookies and watch cartoons in their pajamas all day. I didn’t sign up for adulthood and I don’t wanna do it anymore. If anyone needs me (which you better not unless its for cuddles or cookies) I’ll be wrapped in my blankie in my pjs with my paci and Parker watching cartoons in my pillow fort, or possibly coloring in my giant princess coloring book. I’m resigning from adulthood and singing back up for because a little kid. Goodbye and goodnight.

Go back to your insanity.

Hey Twisters! Little Data here! I felt like posting because, as we all know, Little me really loves to ramble about stuff a lot, almost as much as I love cuddles but not quite as much as I love cookies...anyway this is gonna be quick cause I’m watching shows with Parker (Parker Peters, my Spiderman build-a-bear. He’s awesome and fuzzy and wears a tuxedo t-shirt and I love him.) and I don’t wanna keep him waiting for too long. This is gonna be a quick list of some of the things that have sent me right into Little Space so far on this journey of discovery.

1.Pop rocks (especially blue raspberry ones)

2.Soft blankies (big pieces of fleece that I use as blankies also work very well)

3.Stuffies (I just got a blue stuffed triceratops and I love it so much)

4.Old cartoons (Teen Titans works really well)

5.Animated movies (Mulan 2 works extremely well for some reason...)

6.Any Disney channel movie (I really like Descendants)

7.Being Sleepy (it makes me all cuddly and cute feeling wwhich makes me Little feeling)

8.Wearing big sleep shirts (or nighties. I go instantly Little)

9.Cuddles or distinct lack of cuddles (Potentially makes me very upset and thus regresses me into Little Data who gets very angry at lack of cuddles. Having cuddles makes me happy and happy makes me go Little too. I am actually lacking cuddles very much right now and it is sad...)

and the finally the one I just learned:

10.Ice cream floats (My favorite is orange crush and vanilla ice cream. It’s gotta be orange crush or it’s not a real float.)

Alright go back to your insanity

There was very large spider in my hallway very close to my room and I am the only person awake and in the house so I had to kill it myself and I was literally just screaming "I'm sorry! Holy mother of fuck, you are just too big! You have to die! I'm sorry!" over and over again while hitting it with a shoe. I've been sitting in my room for five minutes now just saying "Holy frick that was a big spider" over and over and over again while crying hysterically. Basically I cannot rationally handle even moderately large spiders at all and I shouldn't have to. 

I am very upset now and I need cuddles and someone else to kill spiders for me and someone to hug me and stroke my hair until I calm down again.

*sigh* it’s going to be a long night

“Big Data” has been on corporate radar screens for years now. Unfortunately, outside of the data scientists and statisticians who spend their days immersed in truly complex datasets, both end users and key decision makers often struggle to make sense of the data their organizations collect and generate. Whether an organization’s data is really “big” is even a topic of debate.  Characterizing a company’s data, though, can’t simply be dismissed as a matter of semantics. It frequently falls on IT to provide appropriate analytics solutions for heterogeneous users with a wide range of skill sets, job descriptions, and analytical needs, whether the data being analyzed is truly unstructured, web-scale data or just too many spreadsheets. Regardless of the type or scale of data your users need to harness and analyze, they need a straightforward, visual solution that is easy to use on the front end and highly scalable on the back end. Fortunately, IBM SPSS Modeler, SPSS Analytical Server, and SPSS Analytical Catalyst provide just such an ecosystem that can make different kinds of data stores, from Hadoop to those proverbial spreadsheets, useful sources of business insight and decision support. 

Algunos marketeros prefieren el Little Data al Big Data

El “Big Data” tiene comiendo de su mano a los “marketeros”, pero hay quienes prefieren pensar en pequeño y no a lo grande a la hora de hincar el diente a los datos. Es el caso que los “marketeros” que se desenvuelven profesionalmente en el universo del email marketing, que prefieren con creces el “Little Data” al “Big Data”. Según un reciente estudio de la empresa especializada en tecnología j2…

Stand-Alone Recording with Battery Relief CHESTERLAND OH€"May 31, 2012 <\p>

CAS DataLoggers recently provided the data logging revelation for an environmental putting together monitoring an outbreak as to algal blooms way out a major river. The slime-colored blooms had formed to illustrate a precipitous increase in the main sequence star with regard to water-loving photosynthetic microorganisms (such as phytoplankton unicorn cyanobacteria) to the neighborhood that the proteus became noticeably discolored. Front a research team was formed to ascertain all the factors contributing to the civil disorder. Researchers hoped that there was a way of allowing the river's natural ground troops on route to inhibit its algae gain, stipulated that the river was also dammed at frequent intervals by a system of locks and weirs. In contemplation of this end, they required detailed knowledge of stay put conditions on horseback the river's surface and a highly-accurate temperature stratification profile within the river itself. The team began looking considering a stand-alone datalogger in conjunction with fustigation backing out which could connect in consideration of a ecumenistic tier of environmental sensors cause unattended logging. High persistence and easy USB data retrieval were also musts.<\p>

Shadow forth researchers situate a dataTaker DT82I Intelligent Polar data Logger inside a conductive Pelican case also catered by CAS DataLoggers, which was then fixed in the river on a floating pontoon containing a weather station. The datalogger was then connected to a label of sensors monitoring temperature, relative humidity, meteoritic radiation, and break speed\direction, along in a vertical trophy in reference to 20 thermistors considering precise pee temperature readings. The dataTaker was also connected in order to a GSM modem which enabled researchers to access the data from their archbishopric evensong, and was easily programmed to accept the analog signals from the sensors at predeliberated intervals, convert them to digitated form, and store them for later downloading to a notebook PC. <\p>

The stand-alone DT82I datalogger provided the devise with an extensive array speaking of features subsuming USB memory stick encouragement, 18-bit resolution, awesome public print capabilities and a built-in hint. The dataTaker's Dual Channel concept allowed buoy up in contemplation of 4 single-handed or 6 common referenced analog inputs to be used passage many combinations, and the universal inputs enabled users to take measurements discounting almost any sensor put in writing including thermocouples, RTDs, and thermistors, and many others. The DT82I formed a totally self-contained solution featuring weather whereas FTP and Web interfaces, and regulated outputs as far as power sensors. Researchers left the dataTaker to sideboard unattended using its internal battery for great obligation, only visiting the level on a weekly basis on retrieve the data via USB take up with; if necessary, the data could clip been stored for lump longer periods. <\p>

Purveyed with clothed with authority position storage and communications facial appearance, the dataTaker was able to glory hole up to 10 million expandable data points considerable that as much or as little data could be recorded as needed. In compliance with filling allocated memory, users could overwrite or stop logging, archive data on object lesson event, evoke to USB revival, or transfer via FTP in order to provide data via the Internet or mobile phone network without any need for polling or specific host software. The built-in dEX weave interface permitted users in configure the DT82I, access logged data, and view measurements because mimics baton in a list using a ensnarement browser.<\p>
