Google Docs Templates

Google Docs has lots of templates but the funny part is they are not well integrated with the individual components, instead you almost have to go to the templates directory first and then to a particular class of document (like presentation)

Within Google Docs presentation, there is no way to go to templates library at https://docs.google.com/templates pictured above

and thats all it shows.

Instead you need to go to the Google Docs homepage and then choose templates. This is slightly opposite to the way people use Office software- you generally decide to use a software and then use a template. Not with Google Docs though- you need to choose template first using either of three methods-

Contest : 2 free passes to Predictive Analytics World
	


	
	
	

		
I got some good news from the fine people at Predictive Analytics World.


 you qualify for 2 free passes to the PAW NYC event October 16-20, 2011.  I will be sending you a code to use for registration to receive these passes within the next couple of days.


If you cannot attend our PAW NYC event, please feel free to use these two free passes as a promotional tool within your blog.


Now I have been partnering with PAW for a long time, so it is nice to have free passes. I am grateful for their support of this blog. Therein lies my dilemma. I am in India, and a return ticket from NYC to India costs 1100$. Unless something drastic happens , I dont see myself with that kind of travel money.


Ergo.


I am offering two free passes to Predictive Analytics World . http://predictiveanalyticsworld.com/


All you need to do is – ahem- cough-


    

  1. like the Facebook Page of Decisionstats.  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Decisionstats/217450141605435 OR
    2. 

  2.  Add me to a Google circle https://plus.google.com/116302364907696741272/posts OR
    3. 

  3. Follow me on Twitter https://twitter.com/#!/0_h_r_1
    4. 



AND







    

  1. Read one of my poems at my poetry blog at http://poemsforkush.wordpress.com/ and leave a comment with your email id please . It’s a promotion for my next book “Poets and Hackers” due for release in 2 weeks.
    2. 



The 2 free passes are for any 2 days of the PAW NYC event.  This free pass may not be used for Text Analytics World conference being held the same week.  Please have your Contest winners use the Free Code:  XXXXXXXX.  This code will be good for two uses in registering. 




Thats ‘it. Two free passes , and go for it if you are around NYC in October. NY is a lovely place and I am wearing my red FDNY T shirt as I am typing this.




What do you get?

Careers in #Rstats
	


	
	
	

		
I saw a posting for career with Revolution Analytics. Now I am probably on the wrong side of a H1 visa and the C,R skill-o-meter, but these look great for any aspiring R coder. Includes one free lance opp as well.


http://www.revolutionanalytics.com/aboutus/careers.php


We have many opportunities opening up—among them:






Job Title
Location




Pre-sales Consultants / Technical Sales
Palo Alto, CA




Parallel Computing Developer
Palo Alto, CA or Seattle, WA




R Programmer (Freelance)
Palo Alto, CA




Software Training Course Developer (Freelance)
Palo Alto, CA




Build / Release Engineer
Seattle, WA




QA Engineer
Seattle, WA




Technical Writer
Seattle, WA






 


Please send your resume to careers@revolutionanalytics.com


2) Indeed.com


Searching for “R” jobs and not just , R jobs, gives better results in search engines and job sites. It is still a tough keyword to search but it is getting better.


You can use this RSS feed http://www.indeed.co.in/rss?q=%22R%22++analytics+jobs or send by email option to get alerts


3) http://icrunchdata.com/


 


I Crunch Data has a good number of Analytics Jobs, and again using the keyword as R within quotes of “R” you can see lots of jobs here


http://www.icrunchdata.com/ViewJob.aspx?id=334914&keys=%22R%22


There used to be a Google Group on R jobs, but is too low volume compared to the actual number of R jobs out there.


Note the big demand is for analytics, and knowing more than one platform helps you in the job search than knowing just a single language.


 


 


 

	


	





	

		
		
Search Engine Advertising sweet spot for arbitrage.
	


	
	
	

		
Assume I am a blogger using both Adsense and Adwords.


Suppose Adwords costs me X dollars per click, and Adsense pays me Y dollars per click.


Then a unique arbitrage opportunity would arise if


Y times CTR on my blog > X times CTR on my Ad Campaign


Is it possible. Theoretically yes? Long Tail of Internet yes.


However since there is a lag of time in which the Rates would converge , the Adsense rate would go lower or Adwords rate would go higher


Is there a tool that you can use to pump keywords with short times arbitrage opportunities , much like trading algols and quants do in finance.


Just asking !


 Hint- Its a trick math puzzle 🙂
