I’m back!

Published on November 25, 2014

I managed to lock myself out of this blog for over a year. First I forgot my password – then I forgot that I had created an in-box rule in Outlook that automatically junked any messages from my blog (I kept getting messages about moderating spam). So my password resets have all been vanishing into […]


Resurrection

Published on September 29, 2011

I thought it made sense to end this blog about being a research student with my graduation ceremony. And I started other blogs. Lots of other blogs. (Partly because I was working on a blogging project that involved setting up lots of blogs for other people.) But the official blog is too official, and the […]

A good blog post on why academics should blog.


Reconsidering

Published on September 10, 2008

Now that I’m planning out the final (well, hopefully final) version of my analysis chapters, I’m going back over all my notes and checking I haven’t msised anything out. I’m now square-eyed through checking out my last three years of blog entries. Phew. I think I need to take a break before I start going […]


Too many blogs!

Published on August 29, 2007

I wanted to blog about the EARLI conference in my ‘research essentials’ blog but I seem to have misremembered the password and I haven’t got any note of it on this computer. Not much point to having a blog I can’t access.


CAL Monday noon

Published on April 4, 2007

OK – biting the bullet. I CAN read through my conference notes. I DO want to blog about this – especially the first presentation, which was so relevant to my work.  Taking a stance: promoting deliberate action through online postgraduate professional development Peter Kelly, K Gale, S Wheeler and V Tucker, University of Plymouth See […]


Why is it so difficult to post?

Published on

I can usually blog at the drop of a hat. It’s a great displacement activity, which I can just about claim is work. So why have I been sitting here all day, failing to blog about the sessions I went to at the CAL conference?

A CAL blog to check out http://speedchange.blogspot.com/ Also, see Gill’s blog in the blog roll. Jin Tan presented a poster on blogging, so I’ll look out for CAL comments on her blog http://jin-thoughts.blogspot.com/


Flickr and pictures in blogs

Published on January 10, 2007

I deleted some graphically uninteresting presentation pics from my Flickr account last night. I’d blogged them here, and now I see that they are gone. I’d vaguely assumed that they were exported into the blog, but now I see that the blog was picking them up from Flickr. Anyway, that’s why (if anyone’s interested) there […]
