Where is Adam's bike now? June 2019 | View Online
A Risky Move
 

Risky attempt to move a big motorbike up some stairs… It seemed like a good idea

About 2 years ago, I had a very serious accident on my motor bike that put me in hospital and wrote off my bike.

As I reported I recovered fine. It was a shiny black cruiser, a Honda VTX 1800C fat-boy motorcycle, – a loud gorgeous bike. Even though I hadn’t had a stack since I was 10 riding on the farm, this accident was bad enough that I haven’t been keen to purchase another bike.

My bike has sat lonely in my garage and gathering too much dust, so this month I came up with a cool way to rekindle our relationship.

Keep reading to find out where my beast of a bike is now. Hint: it's somewhere you'd never expect.

Canberra & Sydney .NET User Group: Machine Learning simplified for Developers with ML.NET

Do you want to try machine learning, but don't want to invest too much time learning a new programming language or some other complicated API?

Microsoft recently launched ML.NET 1.1 which is a great entry point for .NET developers and to gain experience building something with Machine Learning.

With the recent release of ML.NET Model Builder, we can create machine learning models by attempting to import raw data first and over time curate the data, to get better results.

JK will show you how ML.NET works, how to leverage Model Builder, experiment with training data and what to watch out for when building models.
