- More Jupyter notebooks: pyvis and networkx
Lately I’ve been spending more time creating Jupyter notebooks that demonstrate how to use the Dimensions API for research analytics. In this post I’ll talk a little bit about two cool Python technologies I’ve discovered for working with graph data: pyvis and networkx. pyvis and networkx The networkx and pyvis libraries are used for generating and visualizing network […]
- Pypapers: a bare-bones, command line, PDF manager
Ever felt like softwares like Mendeley or Papers are great, but somehow slow you down? Ever felt like none of the many reference manager softwares out there will ever cut it for you, cause you need something R E A L L Y SIMPLE? I did. Many times. So I’ve finally crossed the line and […]

- Getting hold of your Flickr collections with Python
Recently I’ve been a little disappointed with Flickr, the popular online photo-sharing service. Photos gone missing, entire albums disappeared. Not really what you’d like to happen to your photo collection, especially when it’s very large and therefore it’s difficult to be always on top of what’s there and what’s not.. Time to change strategy: use […]
