back again

So, the servers my site lives on went a bit kerfluey. Back in action now though. Apparently.

Highlights of the past week: curry night, aid-climbing the chinup bar in our house, and dreadlock removal.

Lowlights: lack of sleep, supervisor failing to materialise.

phd-itis

I haven’t been doing many interesting things recently, as I’ve been working a lot. I have this dream, that one day (hopefully before the end of this year) I will hand in my thesis. And the examiners will hand it back with glowing smiles on their faces, passing it with no more than minor corrections needed. And I shall glide around my graduation ceremony in a flowing robe, and everyone will say to me ‘Congratulations Evilmoose’, and I shall say ‘No, no, it’s Doctor Evilmoose’, and they shall say ‘Of course your graciousness’ (or something like that) and hand me gifts of cookies and exciting wines and cheese, and other such things.

But in the meantime, I have to just hope that my supervisor will arrive back in the country eventually, and might actually look at some of the chapters I’ve handed him to mark over the past two years, and perhaps even sign my ‘Intention to Submit’ form. As I keep working and trying to dig up enough worthwhile results to throw into my thesis to make it thesis-shaped. And procrastinate occasionally… just a bit…

down with this sort of thing

Well chaps, the plan for the ascent of the mighty Mount Bogong this weekend has been scuppered. So no Bogong moths or vicious snow drop bears for me. Instead perhaps a jaunt through the mud on my mountain bike, and a day trip to the snow, should it happen to fall. I’ll leave you with the picture of a pretty graph I made at work.

(I made it smaller than usual out of consideration to readers who might be scared by physicsy things, and numbers in general, if you really want to see what it looks like, feel free to click on it, although you’ll find it’s not very exciting, even if it does involve several different colours)
