First day at the Metis Data Science Bootcamp! We started with an interesting icebreaker game, the hipster classifier, and setting up the developing environment for the next weeks (GitHub, Python packages, etc). And as a consequence of this, my first blog post!

This blog is hosted by GitHub pages, using Octopress as a framework for generating static content. Basically, you have a repository in your computer cloned from GitHub, with a subdirectory where you can put all your blog post files written with the markdown markup language. Two simple commands, rake generate and rake deploy, will turn the markdown files in real HTML pages and push them into your GitHub hosting service.
Personalising template and layout is quite time consuming, but there is no need to edit css or scripts.
