    And relax ....

    ...Written up first draft for client 2, well before the 3 months I told them it would take*
    Very interesting work, used R in anger commercially for the first time (great graphics capability, doesn't scale well though), utilising my rusty programming skills with data frames and the like.
    Can't believe they pay what they pay for this - its so much fun I'd do it for free.
    Once this invoice is paid I will get one of these for the new place - been missing my table tennis/football/private gym/office.


    *Of course Ill sit on it till nearer the completion date
    Hard Brexit now!

        Yes, I suppose that using new crayons and not joining up the writing must have really cut back on the overheads.
        But just how complex a quote for hosing out their wheelie bins did you promise them?

        “The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun. And the first vessel to have departed is Britain”

          Used R quite a bit recently, packaging system is great (CRAN). Once you learn the language properly you can throw data around and do anything with it.

              You're not using it correctly, bet you have loops everywhere rather than using apply etc.

                Do you really have enough information to draw that conclusion?
