Machine Learning with PyBrain
Looks very impressive, a comprehensive library for machine learning using Python.
Making opencv work on WIndows7 Cygwin 64-bit : 7 hour’s of painful trial & error
Continuing my exploration of image processing, I found opencv. The examples given there are impressive. So, I decided to install opencv. Im running 64-bit Windows7, and since I’m a grumpy old man, I don’t run Visual Studio, Eclipse or any … Continue reading
Optimization: 100x performance boost (even without DevOps!) :-)
(First of all, apologies for the mention of ‘DevOps’ above:this post has, as far as I can tell – since I really don’t know what DevOps is, haven’t found any place where to download it… – nothing what so ever … Continue reading

Agile stories, architecture, and religious processes
Very to-the-point views from Charles on process religion. I’ve always been puzzled why organization pay so much attention to process, and so little to the outcome of a process… The process ‘wars’ of today bear a huge resemblance to the since … Continue reading
There’s a difference between Architects and Inventors

What type of programmer are you ?
Inspired by a discussion with my friend and colleague ‘Dr Deadbeef’ , I’ve lately been thinking about different types of programmer’s: Over the past almost 30 years I’ve been in the software business, I’ve seen 3 different types of programmers, with … Continue reading
Feeling like God – understanding the design in detail, but not the outcomes: Neural Networks
(First of all, to clarify any potential for misunderstandings: I’m not religious, I do not believe in an almighty God – for that to happen, the teodice problem should have a clear and understandable solution, among other things…) Ok, back … Continue reading
Neural networks and image recognition – hit rate for target detection
In my previous post, I described some experiments with neural networks and image recognition that I entertained myself with during xmas holidays. Basically, I wanted to see if I could create a neural network process that, given tiny (10×10, that … Continue reading
Neural networks and image recognition
I’ve been enjoying xmas holidays doing some machine learning and Neural Network programming, in the general context of ‘Target Recognition’, more specifically, trying to teach my computer how to decide whether a person in an image is male or female. This … Continue reading
Excellent intro to DSP by Steven W. Smith
Just found this absolutely brilliant intro to Digital Signal Processing (and a lot of other useful stuff) by Steven W. Smith.
