If you go to a university with a Safari Books subscription (you probably do if you go to a tech school), you can read this online free.

http://dsp.rice.edu/cscamera From a quick glance, it looks like it's a whole lot of unprocessed image data from a camera that takes pictures one pixel at a time.

The Collective Intelligence book from O'Reilly goes through a large amount of data analysis stuff using Python and is a rather excellent book overall which I recommend to anyone regardless of their chosen language. If that doesn't get you started, I don't know what would.

> ... having a well formated table from the start would help loads That's an understatement :). Data will be messy, and personally the combination R+Python (& occasional shell scripting) has served me well when dealing with it. As for the GUI, I'm doubtfull that a GUI being both generic and powerful enough for datacleaning is feasable. I'm curious if I need to retract that claim in the [near future](http://blog.freebase.com/2010/03/26/preview-freebase-gridworks/) though...

Writing acquisition and processing software, setting up field procedures, doing field work, doing data processing, overseeing processing, planning large area coverage, having final say on datasets submitted to industry clients and cc'd to Geosciences Australia. The Northern Territory led the way in making their data sets public, G.A. has since followed suit for all of Australia. I was associated for a decade with a now sold out private company that acquired and processed this data for the exploration industry.

If you divide population by CO2, you get some interesting results: aside from DC, which has a lot of traffic & population in a small area, the outliers are Vermont, Rhode Island, and Idaho. What are they doing there to ratchet up CO2 emission?
