          There's a thread in bargain alerts on boards where the daily fee ones are posted (daily)
          May you live in interesting times!

              ExtraTorrent shut down for good earlier this morning. Yet, users aren't weeping. Three replacement torrent and movie sites have emerged to take its place.

                    Its been a while.

                    Pork belly burned ends.

                    Belly was on special in Lidl this week, just 3 euro a pack.











                    2.5 hrs later @225 added bbq sauce, franks hot sauce, maple syrup and a bit of butter, gave it a stir, covered it and put it back for around 75mins.







                    The crack cocaine of pork.
                    This too shall pass.

                        I was about to ask the same, I've signed up to a couple of Python courses on coursera but if Udemy was better I would try them.

                        Speaking of Python, I seen this https://www.quantopian.com figured you could put the new python skills to use Hitch.

                          First I heard of the website was when that email was circulated around Going to sign up for some of the intro to coding ones & decide over next week if it's worth buying more.

                              Local butcher sells them repackaged, not sure where he gets them.

                              I did get a 2.5kg bag of frozen in Musgraves a few weeks ago, they were identical to the ones they sell in coqbull, may be the same ?

                                        pirate bay still works most of the time, but I'd like an other alternative as well.

                                                  The coursera courses are really good - Uni of Toronto python courses are excellent. I was thinking of udemy more for short sharp skills learning, and leaving the deeper learning for the coursera uni style course.

                                                  So picked courses from udemy on:
                                                  - R (as a side skill to python rather than specialism)
                                                  - Tableau (know a lot of startups use it for big data visualisation)
                                                  - Applied machine learning (but doing the Stanford and Michigan coursera courses for indepth learning and understanding the underlying principles)
                                                  - Keras (software for machine learning)

                                                  I wouldn't use it for core learning, more for add-on skills. Fairly certain read that advice somewhere.

                                                  Quantopian looks class. My colleague was trying to tell me about it just earlier this week but couldn't remember the proper name. Cheers.
                                                  Tableau is a great tool to have, my prior experience with it before my current job was the reason I got the one I have now. I still think Microsoft BI is the way to go though because it's better value and is being upgraded more often.

                                                  That said, Tableau is very user friendly in terms of drag and drop for simple scatter plots, bar charts, simple calculated fields and parameters but more advanced automated reporting is tough going imo, it seems to have a mind of its own at times. I do my best to define the data as best I can in SQL and put the query in then, I find it makes life a lot easier than putting millions of rows into tableau.

                                                                                So picked courses from udemy on:
                                                                                - R (as a side skill to python rather than specialism)
                                                                                - Tableau (know a lot of startups use it for big data visualisation)
                                                                                - Applied machine learning (but doing the Stanford and Michigan coursera courses for indepth learning and understanding the underlying principles)
                                                                                - Keras (software for machine learning)

                                                                                I wouldn't use it for core learning, more for add-on skills. Fairly certain read that advice somewhere.

                                                                                Quantopian looks class. My colleague was trying to tell me about it just earlier this week but couldn't remember the proper name. Cheers.

I still think Microsoft BI is the way to go though because it's better value and is being upgraded more often.

                                                                                      That said, Tableau is very user friendly in terms of drag and drop for simple scatter plots, bar charts, simple calculated fields and parameters but more advanced automated reporting is tough going imo, it seems to have a mind of its own at times. I do my best to define the data as best I can in SQL and put the query in then, I find it makes life a lot easier than putting millions of rows into tableau.

                                                                                              Also, my number lock switches itself off.
