Everytime I need to use fourier transforms in R, I have to relearn the layout and the relationship between the order of coefficients and their associated frequencies. I decided to make things easier for myself by wrapping the fourier coefficients, along with their frequencies, in a tibble for easy manipulation. The result is the fftab package. Its on its way to CRAN now.

Thanks to funding from the Southeastern Conference, I had an ejoyable visit to the University of Florida in October 2024 hosted by my former postdoc advisor Bob Holt. (Who said football was not good for something?) The timing was excellent as I got to see my postdoc pal, Ottar N. Bjørnstad, who was in town, and former UT colleague Matthew Leibold.

I have been wanting to move to GitHub Pages and Jekyll for awhile. Now that the college is shutting down its site service, I finally got around to building the new site. I made two tries at using an existing Jekyll template called Academic Pages. It was quite helpful, yet it is designed for a single investigator, not a lab group. Once you start modifying the site extensively, the theme becomes more of a hassle than an asset. So I started fully from scratch an built my own pages, collections, and style sheets. It is not too bad once you get the hang of it.

Happy New Year!
