Application being reviewed

yes, my application is currently being reviewed and I’ll hear from them within the next 2-3 days.
Last night I got a phone call on my mobile at 03:17 AM from a withheld number - very strange indeed. It’s my company mobile! Some guy breathing or dying.

Caught in the Act

My boyfriend has discovered my blog! Help! I want to stay anonymous!

Corrections Corrections

Finished all ‘final’ corrections today. I’ve had to read the entire bloody thing over the last week and some of it was embarrassing. I approached it like a professional proofreader or student supervisor. The key is to approach it as if someone else had written it (duh!). I know it’s obvious.
The plan is to finish [...]

10 Years of Internet Use

I’ve been on the Internet for 10 years now, starting in October 1996. My first email address was a2810966@smail.uni-koeln.de (don’t try sending anything to this address!!).

Yet again, a mobile phone video made headline news. Take a look here , also check the News Item.
This is another example of ‘citizen journalism’. I’m particularly interested in the increase in visual citizen journalism, especially [...]

Writing Problems

I find it quite difficult to write. The last 4 years I’ve written so much that it’s turned into work. Writing as work rather than pleasure, though there is a degree of pleasure (of course) at the end of it all. The bottom line is though that I need to get back into writing as [...]

Firefox T-shirts

this isn’t really a Web 2.0 post but I didn’t know what heading to put this under. First I thought of Fashion, but I’m not otherwise interested in fashion so it doesn’t really make sense to start a Fashion category here. Last night I saw someone wearing a Firefox t-shirt. It got me pretty excited [...]
