I’ve been setting up my site for the last few days and found a lot of things to work on. The theme right, the layout, enabling SSL and anti-spam and a host of other things. There’s a lot that goes into running a website, and I certainly haven’t covered it all yet! While I was slightly Read More
Heading Towards Data Science
I am always looking for an easier way of getting and understanding information from the Data Science community. It’s expected to find great ones in Data Science publications on the web, but it took me a little by surprise to find one on Medium! Medium is a publishing platform for authors and communities, that lets people Read More
New Site Name, Same Old Author
Even though I am running with a new name for my site, I am still going to be posting much of the same old content but with a few small changes. They are going to be more honest and sometimes more personal, because what is the point of having your own website with your name right Read More
Welcome To IainSaunders.uk!
After much consideration, and discussing several different options with my lovely wife, I have finally decided to go ahead with my own website; IainSaunders.uk. Welcome!

In these cases, a couple of good nights’ sleep Read More
Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff (And It’s All Small Stuff)
Yes, this post title has been directly pinched from the title (and subtitle) of a very famous book; Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff by Richard Carlson. If you don’t have this book, you should make a point to pick it up. If you do have this book, I encourage you to read it or re-read it.
How Do We Know If We’re Relaxing Or Procrastinating?
So far this Easter Holiday, I’ve completed (though not officially) two courses from the Business Statistics and Analysis Specialization on Coursera and am one quarter of the way through the next one, with two further courses to go. Luckily, this didn’t require me being strapped to the desk for the whole time, I’ve managed to fit Read More
Linear Regression for Business: Review
So it’s been about a week since I started studying the Coursera course Linear Regression for Business Statistics in the Business Statistics and Analysis Specialization.
