Der er noget, der er råddent i Danmark.
HTB is the big competitor to Haaukins... So we are setting up a lab and are looking at hardware and software for it. While the IT is giving us the go-around treatment ("We want to host vulnerable machines" doesn't sit well with the IT), I get to play with nice toys. I checked out the... Continue Reading →
Hold on to your seats, its profound revelation time. Now many of you think of Valhalla as vɑlˈhɑ lə. A hall full of brave warriors exchanging stories of guts and glory. A hall full of smokes from boars turning on spits, where the mead never runs dry. Danes think of Valhalla as wɛlhel'e. I am... Continue Reading →
Over the years, I recommended using a password manager to hundreds of students... I often recommended popular services on the grounds of convenience. Last month Last Pass announced it would seriously limit the free tier forcing me to do a lot of self reflection about those recommendations. From today onward, last pass would only work...

Now that I no longer care about professional signals, perhaps it's time to turn the blog into something more fun. Irfmeister.com should do it. Sing it to... Continue Reading →
Shyft is an app to replace in home survey for moving companies. The idea is neat enough. Using the phone, you show the surveyor what you want moved and they calculate the volume and weight based on that. The problem is the app should never have left beta. It did not work with any of...

A brief aside (I am in crunch mode and can't write more). Getting into nls (very exciting) these days and learning quite a bit about it. One issue with fitting these models is the difficulty of finding appropriate starting values. When you are trying to fit one of these models finding starting values is not... Continue Reading →
When I joined OU, there were many things that excited me about the university: the location, the culture, colleagues... I must admit research was not one of the reasons I joined OU. Over the years however I came to realize how mistaken I was as OU provides a fertile ground for my kind of research.... Continue Reading →
