Professional nerd. Occasionally blog about my adventures (mainly caving) here:

@KoftheP Tree down across Lower Greenshall Lane near New Mills - difficult to get past at the moment.

[Edvin Hopkins @EdvinHopkins]

@sdrelton Well said Sam. It was a privilege to have worked with Nick.

@KoftheP Tree down over bridleway between Roman Bridge and Strines Road nr New Mills. Take care if whizzing down the hill.

Have discovered the perpetual motion aerobie. https://t.co/pIQDBFlisu

[Edvin Hopkins @EdvinHopkins]

@MouldS Hi Steve! My daughter rolled an aerobie across a beach and it didn't fall over for >5 mins. The tailwind seemed to push it back upright even when it wobbled right over - why it was so stable? :-) https://t.co/pIQDBFlisu

And me :)

@POferriesupdate Ok, thanks!

[Edvin Hopkins @EdvinHopkins]

Hi @POferriesupdate. Struggling to find information on how to approach Larne ferry port for 11am sailing - road closures due to marathon. Can you advise?

[Edvin Hopkins @EdvinHopkins]

@MiriamGent Very jealous to see all these mushrooms you've found; nothing quite so good down here. Although here are our breaded parasols that we found in Wales last week. Hope you are all doing well!

[Edvin Hopkins @EdvinHopkins]

@sdrelton I was a bit late (got a bit carried away debugging...!). But yep all good here!

[Edvin Hopkins @EdvinHopkins]

@sdrelton Great talk Sam, sounds like things are going really well in Leeds!

[Edvin Hopkins @EdvinHopkins]

@MaryGuettel Congratulations on the new arrival!

[Edvin Hopkins @EdvinHopkins]

@ClareBurrage Our nearly 4 year old likes https://t.co/i0Sxs6WnFB and the other books in that set.

The Usborne 'Look Inside' Space book is probably good too - we don't have it ourselves but have others in that series.

Given the regrettable lack of cooperation between Remain-supporting parties, I'm glad to learn that there's now an organization, @remainvoter, that will be advising on how best to vote tactically at the forthcoming European elections. Please spread the word.

Edvin just presented 'Non-negative Matrix Factorization analysing high-dimensional datasets' at @QuantsHub Machine Learning & AI Conference – you can view Edvin's slides here https://t.co/jiL3otb84f - very topical with #Brexit references!

@MaryGuettel @NAGTalk Thanks for having us Mary, it was good fun!

[Edvin Hopkins @EdvinHopkins]

@goatchurch Not to worry, will catch you another time - happy hang gliding :)

[Edvin Hopkins @EdvinHopkins]

I wrote a thing! https://t.co/IeTP3BlMen

[nAG @NAGTalk]

With the @FIFAWorldCup around the corner Edvin Hopkins has blogged about ‘Classifying webpages (from @BBCSport) using non-negative matrix factorization’ Can he write a computer program to do this automatically?

Read it here https://t.co/AOvoIxirOA

Sad news indeed - John was a very supportive and active PhD supervisor. https://t.co/N63COTYuym
