    I have a Higher Certificate from the Wine and Spirit Education Trust. It doesn't mean I'm a pisshead.

    We used R at my last gig, it was all Algo trading stuff, mag cubes and shiit, clobbered and strangled our HPC on GPFS set up no end, mind you it was all on Linux.

So just three days of work, but a new skill on the CV. (And I'll almost certainly be able to use R in other places with the client).
