Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2011-08-04

I need an early night this evening to catch up with sleep; I had 2 people at the office comment about how tired I look. Alas. #
Hardly a spare moment today; I feel underTweeted. #
@witty_knitter I have already done 5 degrees in the US, so why not get a terminal one elsewhere? Nothing else in my life has been ordinary! #
@salma_patel Thanks for the heads-up; great Prezi, post, and way of processing all this. Great how research leads to research, ehh? #phdchat #
Prezi: 10 ways researchers can use Twitter http://t.co/5ACqsvf // This is wonderful, and not just because I am quoted! #phdchat #
@dbaQ8 I agree completely; doctoral work is a (long) exciting journey! #phdchat #
@savasavasava Are there really no original ideas any longer? When will the Bible or the Illiad be remade, again?! #
Did my eyes play a trick on me, or did I just see an ad for a new Planet of the Apes movie? #
@witty_knitter HE is a little more open-minded outside the US, believe it or not, so why not have an international education?! #
@witty_knitter Hey, once I learned that they speak English there, I was ready to sign up! #
@witty_knitter I think you may find my research interesting – http://t.co/AJMMQfU #

@kiwicito @aeratcliffe I was never able to make heads or tails of Second Life. I tried, wow did I try. But the learning curve did me in. #
@aeratcliffe Goodness, loose ports already? Ouch. Good thing the store does repairs like they do. #
@GinaLuttrell Welcome back. #
@aeratcliffe What happened there? #
@trentmkays Moving along. You? #
@TheBluOtter Hoboken!! Hoboken?? Noooooooooooooooo!!! #
@ClaretCarly Very good to get started. Phew! #phdchat #
@scottmayson Got it; thanks. #
I then have lots of Tweets to answer! #
Scheduled to begin data collection this evening for my doctoral research #phdchat #
Watching a fire safety video at the office. The actress in the film looks like the Oracle in the Matrix. I intrinsically trust her. #

@kiwicito Goodness, with research like that, whatever else can they teach 😉 #phdchat #
@bodyspacesoc Thank you ! #
@ndcollier Small world, ehh? I swear by all the fine folks at that list; has been invaluable for help before. #
@ai1sa I have struggled to find a good screen-capture app that maintains the links. #
@Notaphdthesis @salma_patel @sarahthesheepu I think it is a weakness of English, as developed in a male-dominated society. #
@kiwicito 2 years seems right for PT, but with that big research project you are plowing through, what will be left to do? #
@witty_knitter @lizith I tend to think that wisdom is age-independent. Kudos for you in gathering it. #
@witty_knitter @lizith Happy birthday! #
@kiwicito @aeratcliffe Not sure that time spent = FT or PT. While many base only on credits, I think it depends on pervasiveness #phdchat #
@thesiswhisperer Too bad that blog appears abandoned 🙁 #
@witty_knitter Agreed, with the exception of chocolate-vanilla tea; tastes even better than smells. #
@lizith @witty_knitter Oldies? Good grief! #
@witty_knitter I agree, you do not appear to be a robot. #
@debbiefuco What are you looking at in your research? #phdchat #
@christiepooh Nice progress. Want to lend out some of that energy? #phdchat #
@karynfulcher Not at all; if anything I think it is late to begin attending #phdchat #
@_eyeAm Good luck! #phdchat #
@EvilSue @juliettedm I use an external recorder and earpiece mic as Skype instability means I may suddenly switch to a phone #phdchat #
@scottmayson Interesting Twitter profile; what do you mean by "inclusive design" ? #
@salma_patel @Notaphdthesis @sarahthesheepu Done in the US too, though still maintains a hegemonic imbalance for the sake of convenience #
@Notaphdthesis @salma_patel @sarahthesheepu Looks interesting and rather new. See what other #phdchat colleagues have in mind. #
From Tweet to Thesis: http://t.co/XlYJDME // Interesting idea for a blended doctoral session #phdchat #
@SarahStewart Thanks for the link, quite interesting. #
@GabrielOguda Excellent. What sort of population are you working with? #phdchat #
@Notaphdthesis @salma_patel @sarahthesheepu Well, of the 3 of us on your Reply, I think I am the only guy in the group! #
@dbaQ8 @kiwicito Included in that time is my Twitter work, as most of what I do here is associated with my research #phdchat #
@savasavasava Excellent; I did not see that option at any point. Hope you make use of it. #
@NSRiazat My pilot helped me determine my potential population and revise some of the questions. Surprisingly useful #phdchat #

Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2011-08-01

@Shuliji @NSRiazat I am hoping to finish in the fall of 2012. I feel like all my efforts are pressing in that direction now. #
@NSRiazat I find I need headphones with loud music to help me with people distractions. #
@gawbul You can relate, perhaps? #
@laurapasquini I never thought of using APA 6 as a pillow; will have to try that! #
@NSRiazat @Shuliji Excellent. Amazed that you already have the month for the submission! When do you hope to defend? #
@NSRiazat @Shuliji When are you hoping to finish? #
Took tomorrow off, and finally found myself back upstate after the end of @MikeStorrings convention. So nice and quite and natural here. #
@christiepooh I suppose it depends on which people we mean, when we say "Government for the people, by the people . . ." #
@Eingang Well then, I cannot wait to read your work on it (even work that brings you this late into a Sunday). #
@NSRiazat Agree completely. I do find this tricky since my research is so related to Twitter that I cannot easily separate them #phdchat #
@hummingbird604 Quite smart, that is. #
@Eingang Goodness, I struggle with the concept of affordances. I can't help but think they are built onto a post-positivist ontology. #
@dbaQ8 I very much appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is exactly the sort of participation I want to include in my work. #
@savasavasava How did you get Prime so cheap? I paid $79 for it. #
@christiepooh @GStephanopoulos @camanpour Yes; our elected officials are pathetic, but Americans have such short memories again and again. #
@christiepooh I have this only happens in Vegas image in my mind . . . #
@kiwicito All of the above, but not a process; that is its biggest problem. #
@betsyweber Deal! #
@savasavasava Yes, I can say with all certainty that not only am I a published poet, but my poem was in a revi… (cont) http://deck.ly/~SwO4a #
@Empathetics A bit of that, though I was more thinking about the economy. Not sure the former will much help the latter, alas. #
@SarahStewart Does it sit on blogging software, or on a host server? #
@NSRiazat What helped you to remain firm in eliminating the distractions today? #phdchat #
@lizith @lindathestar When ready to report the struggles, let me know, as that is what I am researching! http://bit.ly/oAxJh3 #phdchat #
@laurapasquini Yes, but don't you have APA 6 memorized yet 😉 #phdchat #
@Notaphdthesis As you are engaging in great chat, have you thought about adding an avatar or a real name to claim your identity here? #
@Notaphdthesis @salma_patel @sarahthesheepu Summarizing our work helps us remain focused, as well as note when the focus develops #phdchat #
@GabrielOguda What did you find most successful about the first day? #phdchat #
@JimTheDean Have not heard of studying in the garage before . . . #phdchat #
@LBA_OX12 I find that taking a little break from Twitter is good, but I find I then have nobody to talk to #phdchat #
@dbaQ8 @kiwicito Wow, you are working on this full-time? #phdchat #
Picking up @MikeStorrings from the Golden Glow Convention site, now that the 2011 event is over. #
@dbaQ8 Thanks! #
@Empathetics Welcome back; a lot has changed here in #NYC and much of it for the better. #
@betsyweber @HaynerJ47 @Halfdan The record stands corrected. #
@savasavasava Hey, I am a published poet, too! #
@Notaphdthesis If primarily Twitter-based, why locate it in a physical space? #phdchat #
@ndcollier Ahh. Sorry, I am not familiar with it. Do keep us informed of what you learn!! #phdchat #
@kiwicito Hey, I am not a marriage therapist!! #
@JimTheDean Amazing the changes we encounter along the way while engaging in #phd study #phdchat #
@ndcollier Not familiar with it; what are you hoping to do? #phdchat #
@Zimbarama Sorry to hear; anything potentially useful after the initial pain? #phdchat #
@kiwicito Perhaps offer a picture of you two on a holiday, and tell her to look forward to the next one in . . . how many years? #phdchat #
@JeffRamosPR @salma_patel Provided your clients want to learn and not just have you do the work, I suppose. #
@Lemness @Eingang @networkedres Thank you for any passing on of my invitation to participate that you can! #
@SarahStewart Is that a plug-in, or free-standing service? #
@kiwicito Yes, #phd work becomes our relationship(s)! #phdchat #
@mitchellfriedmn Will do; thanks! #
@thesiswhisperer Got it; thanks. #
@laurapasquini @NSRiazat @ScholarAtLarge Thank you! #
@kiwicito Not sure about each week, but about 3 hours a day in some form on the #phd work at this point. You? #phdchat #
@aeratcliffe Any indication when the next version of #Papers2 will be released? #phdchat #
@lizith Great work; keep leading the way and setting the bar high for the rest of us!! #phdchat #
@lizith @aeratcliffe @sarahthesheepu I am waiting a bit to upgrade to #Lion want to have all these issues worked out forst. #
