What I'm doing now...

last updated: 16/3/26, from home

Last time I wrote here, I was due to start a graduate job, but I wasn't all that keen on it. Thankfully, saving me at the last minute, came this PhD... So I'm back in education - but this time, I'm learning.

When I look back, there's a lot I wish I'd have done differently the first time at university. I'm so grateful I have a chance to go back and make the most of it this time. Loving it. Learning about Bayesian statistics, machine learning and particle filters. Learning the most about learning itself.

I'm losing interest in sports, but falling back into music. The end of last year felt pretty creative, but the first part of 2026 has been effortlessly productive. Starting to share my work, with friends at first but now and then the odd thing makes it to the internet...
