I've been working on extending my d3.js knowledge again - this time getting a more deep understanding of how it works and what it does. I've had a good deal of help in the form of two books, one a Christmas present from my family (Interactive Data Visualization ...

CI, Jenkins and tests
I'm starting a new job soon. Or, rather, I'm starting my old job at a new employer. I'll be working on the same projects, the same software platform, just a better place. Among other things, this will give me the chance to introduce some new workflows and ...
