General Job Finding Rant

No, I’m not going to rant. I’m just still pissed off with this overqualified business (see earlier post). To lighten my mood, I’m going to focus on the positive. Before that though, I’ll let you in on a little secret - how I prepared for my last job (the one I got 4 years ago [...]

PhD May Harm Your Career Progress

I’m not in a good mood. I went to an interview yesterday where my experience perfectly matches the job on offer, all of it. I’m not being big-headed here. I AM the perfect candidate for the job, in fact I was put forward for it by a former collegue of mine who now works within [...]

Pure Morning

I just gotup, it’s 04:44AM. I still don’t know how to include time stamps with my posts (I’m not stupid - I simply haven’t looked into it yet). I’m going down to London today so I have to get ready. @ all the Imogen traffic: put the bloody thing in my search and you’ll find [...]

Online Video News 060829

I think I’m going to keep a brief summary of all online video news over the next few months, at least up until my VIVA (=oral examination of my PhD thesis). The reason is twofold: (1) personal interest and (2) VIVA ‘preparation’ insomuch that I keep up-to-date with the stories and viral successes of current [...]

PhD - Final Meeting 060828

Yes, it’s just taken place. The final meeting (before submission) of my PhD thesis. It took a bit over two hours and was overall quite satisfactory. There’s nothing majorly wrong with it (thankfully) and I will be able to submit it as it is. However I need to make some minor amendments and in particular, [...]

Imogen Thomas (Big Brother) Sex Tape - Authentic

just as an update to the story I’ve been writing about a number of times: The Imogen Thomas (Big Brother) sex tape is not fake! See here. If you want to see the tape, just put ‘imogen’ into my search as I’ve linked to it in one of the posts (and some other people have [...]

Lists Lists Lists

I function well in a structured environment. One strategy to self-structure my life is via lists. The next few days I’ll be very busy, which is why I’m quickly going to create a list here that I can work with.
Sunday 27/08/06:

9-10AM: prepare for PhD meeting (write down notes, questions, etc. - also progress report?)
10-11AM: write [...]

Critical Comment on ‘How To Increase Blog Traffic’

yes/no, I received a rather critical comment on my post ‘How to Increase Blog Traffic’. I’m going to reproduce it here and will give it some proper attention soon, as I think it deserves it:
I was diverted here via your flagrant violation of the principles of the ditigal age. The internet is where [...]

Obligatory Blog Check-In 060825

I’m still knackered from the Muse gig last night. It was great, only they didn’t play my favourite song - Muscle Museum, which was a bit disappointing. My friend Jana uploaded some footage onto YouTube - all filmed by my BF. It’s shit quality (mobile phone video cam) and is shared here only for [...]
