One CSV, thirty stories

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 disclaim
