...just not updating this blog very much recently! What with holidays, a new job, and my dissertation deadline looming I've had a lot of other stuff to think about. Hopefully this situation will improve over the next few weeks, and once again I will share the benefits of my wisdom with the Internet.
Anyway, to those of you still looking at this blog- thanks, and I promise more updates will follow!
I'm going to Chicago tomorrow to invigilate some exams for work, which means I get an all expenses paid trip in return for 3 mornings of sitting in a room watching people write. I'm looking forward to just hanging out, seeing some cool architecture and going to some world class art galleries and museums. Oh, and eating steak, which is apparently a great favourite in that part of the world.
Pretty soon after that I'm off to Berlin with Jude, for what promises to be a lovely city break. Everyone I know who has benen there has good things to say about Berlin, and there should be a huge range of stuff for us to do, not least drinking beer and eating bratwurst. Sehr gut!
20six have overhauled their format and content management system, making it much easier to do just about anything with one's blog. The format is now a lot cleaner, and you are able to drop code snippets in pretty much where you want, like the Amnesty Irrepressible Info button you can see to the left. I was thinking of changing to Blogger, but I think I'll stick with 20six now!
I've been thinking about doing something like this for a while, and my blog seems the perfect medium...
You know when you overhear someone on the street, in the pub, on public transport etc., and the snippet you here makes you wonder what they're going on about? Well, I thought it might be fun to record said snippets and then maybe speculate about the topic/contents of the conversation.
You might be thinking this sounds a bit Mcsweenyish, and you'd be right, but hey, it sounds like it could be interesting...
