I enjoy chronicling my PC builds on the blog, mainly so I can refer back to them when the time comes to upgrade. That time is now! The part of my machine that is most in need of an upgrade is the CPU. My current Intel i5-4590 launched in 2014 and easily became a bottleneck to my graphics card after I installed the MSI RTX 2070 SUPER GAMING X at the end of last year (ha, these product names are sil… Read more →

After interning at EKM in using C#, I was interested in exploring other tech stacks in addition to the .NET I’d worked in previously. Throughout my first couple of years at University, I’d seen some presentations from some of the team at Sauce about the different tech they’d been working with and ended up talking to them more at a careers event in University, wanting to find out a bit more about w… Read more →

The effect was most impressive. The door jumped out of my hands and slammed shut. It was as if the thing was po… Read more →
I've been playing around with Tensorflow.js for my PhD (see my PhD Update blog post series), and I had some ideas that I wanted to test out on my own that aren't really related to my PhD. In particular, I've found this blog post to be rather inspiring - where the author sets up a character-based recurrent neural network to generate text. The idea of transcoding all those characters to numerical va… Read more →
This is one of these “Rob writes a blog post about something so that he can find it later when he forgets how to do it” moments. I’m writing some code using the Arduino platform that I’d like to run on both the ESP32 and the ESP8266. They both run C++ and have a lot in common. But some things are just different. For example they have different commands to ask a device for its unique ID is getFuseM… Read more →
