I hit something of an impasse blogging here of late. A number of colleagues in a similar position have used the 30 days song challenge to unblock their blogs with some success, and I thought I’d try to do something similar, but different.
So I’ve picked out a single CSV file, the list of price paid for property from The Land Registry, and each day over the next month I’ll use it to tell small stories about open data and visualisations. Thirty is a nice round number and at this point seems almost unachievable and definitely a challenge.
The code for these articles are open source, natch, and I’ll build a portfolio site as we go along.
Something of a disclaimer: I am a Technical Architect with the Government Digital Service and have been working with the Land Registry to develop an alpha digital service. However these articles could be written by anyone with the time and inclination to dig into the open data. They certainly won’t be used to announce features or reveal information or data which isn’t already public. They definitely shouldn’t be read as saying anything in an official capacity on behalf of these organisations, and you should treat my conclusions as the conjecture they are. I’m just this guy, you know?
