A trip into the mind of Wajdi

It seems like Tunisia has entered a negative cycle of attacks and terrorism is not stopping anytime soon. Following my analysis of the impact of the previous terrorist attack on the Bardo museum  in Tunisia, I have had some good feedback about the idea of the analysis. And after the unfortunate second terrorist attack on tourists in Sousse, I've wanted to explore the impact of this event as well. In the mean time, ever sense I wrote the first draft for this post, there have been more then a lot of terrorist attacks in Tunisia and the situation in general is getting complicated.

Ever since journalists started writing the words big & data together, with large letters and quotation marks, everyone who owns a computers and a couple of Excel spreadsheets think they have a big data or they are using big data in some sort of ways. Working as a consultant means for me that my main role is to advise and help clients in understanding their needs. It also means that I should guide them, explain and simplify complex algorithms and technologies that they hear about from the web.
