I've been blessed with lots of intellectual satisfaction and motivation on the geeky side of myself for the past month. I'm currently working on a short independent project revolving around decision trees. I've never taken any data mining or machine learning courses, so it's something new and kinda interesting to learn. Certainly not a field I imagine myself delving very deep into, but a pretty fascinating topic nonetheless. It's also an opportunity for me to do some system architecture work which I always enjoy doing. The project should be over in another week at which point I have another project for myself which I'm extremely excited about. It's work-related but not work supported if you get my drift. ;) It's just something I feel a great urge to rise to the challenge of just to see if I can do it. I'm dying to publish some papers regarding the work I do and this and another project that I'm working on are two great candidates, so I'm gonna push hard to get it done. Heh heh, my brain is very happy these days. :D
