“Another blog! Thank the Gods! Blogging is so now, isn’t it?”

That’s quite enough sarcasm from you. What this lovely website is for:

  • Using the ace Quarto blogging platform for writing up data / techie / code / mapping stuff in a much more straightforward way than using Jekyll (the previous github frontend, now archived here). RStudio just makes it for you! With some tweaks. Github repo for this blog is here.
  • A place to explain what I’ve done with R projects - not least explaining them to future me. Future me is very forgetful and needs to have things explained very simply to him.
  • Get down the techie bits behind work I’m doing to support regional economic data analysis, so I can keep that separate from things like the regional economic tools site (also Quarto).
