This has been a great course…so far. It’s making me take longer than necessary because I keep stopping to try things on my own data. Which is a good thing. Also I can see where I did some of this back in 2018, including stuff with SQLite. This helps me solve my one issue with …

Udemy VS Linux Academy
Well as of today I must say the Udemy course, Data Analysis with Pandas and Python, which I only started yesterday, for me is better than Linux Academy’s Using Python for Data Management and Reporting. The author of the LA course wrote, I feel, a good intro article, Tricks for Working with Data in Python, …
Udemy course and Anaconda
Signed up for and started Data Analysis with Pandas and Python at Udemy. I certainly can’t complain about the price, it’s less than $15. I watched the intro video and and it covers the things I’m interested in, Pandas, Anaconda and Jupyter Notebooks. Basically installing Anaconda installs everything needed for the course. So even though …
Online course costs?
I see many online computer courses that sound interesting. I go to check them out and I see something Like “enroll for free”, well thank you very much for collecting my info at no charge. But how about not wasting my time and first tell me how much the darn course will cost! By not …
Zoom’s E2E Reversal
Zoom reverses decision to only offer End-to-End Encryption for paid accounts.
Linux Academy course errors
Lots of errors in this (Using Python for Data Management and Reporting) course. I reported a small omission earlier. I think they use to say they’d get back to you…they don’t now. At the end of a lecture they ask if it met your expectation or needs improvement. I responded…needs improvement. Here is what I …
ssh “Permission denied (publickey)”
Contacted LA about the above problem. However I did as the British comedy sitcom IT Crowd suggested and turned it off/on…reboot and restart, and it worked!
Started new Linux Academy course
Saw this web article Tricks for Working with Data in Python, it looked interesting so I started the course Using Python for Data Management and Reporting. I always liked working with data so this seems like a good course to try. Topics covered Python, Jupyter Notebooks, Anaconda, pandas and dataframes, SQL, mongoDB, Working with Excel, …
Does Python learn?
Not a serious question. However sometimes it seems it does. I ran an existing working program that among other things, generates fake dates. It uses try/except logic to make sure the date is valid, because I’m lazy and decided to let Python do some of the work. So, if I give the python date function …
Regina Rexx Interpreter
With all these mainframe shenanigans I’ve been into lately, I thought I’d take another look at REXX, a mainframe scripting language, popular on IBM. I used REXX in a IBM VM a hundred years ago. And very recently very briefy under TSO, in the MTM course. An implementation available on Linux that I tried is …
