Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2011-09-05

@Azuresong Who does? Anywhere in the nearby area? #
@francesbell The days go by so quickly when there are so many wonderful things to see. #
@mridulad Has been fantastic thus far. Have you been to all those places? #
@annettemarkham Safe travels, and perhaps next time in London (or New York!). #
@ltrprmvrn I felt more of it at Avebury than Stonehenge, but I clearly need to spend more time at both. #
@lizith I so wish I could have gotten up to the stones, but alas that is somewhat frowned upon now. At least Avebury is more friendly. #
@Azuresong Yes, seem to be. Wish I could have met some #OBOD folks while here in London / the UK, but perhaps during my next visit #druidry #
@Azuresong The sites are quite wonderful, and the town itself has a number of new-age and pagan supplies and bookstores and such. #
@sarahthesheepu I just replied to you with the wrong Tweet; I just deleted it. Would make no sense otherwise. #
After seeing ancient sites west of London and then tweaking my #BERA2011 presentation, I am wiped. Glass of red wine and sleep await. #
Walking around the grounds of Glastonbury Abbey. Beautiful location after the Chalice Garden and climbing the Tour. #
Walking around Stonehenge. So glad the rain stopped as we got here. #
Outside the British Museum waiting for the tour bus to Stonehenge, Avebury, and Glastonbury to pick me up. #

After a wonderful #phdchat meetup tonight, off to sleep. Full day of touring Stonehenge, Avebury, and Glastonbury tomorrow. #
@MisaimedBrain @martin_eve @sarahthesheepu @OwhyOwhy Wonderful meeting you at the LONDON #phdchat meetup. Good conversation, food and drinks #
@sarahthesheepu @owhyowhy @martin_eve @misaimedbrn I am here. Anybody else? #phdchat #
@savasavasava No, just stepping onto a sidewalk from construction in the street and a sudden bike lane and traffic and no sleep and… #
Goodness, I just fell while stepping onto a sidewalk. I suppose it was higher than it looked. At least no noticeable damage, for now. #
@Eingang @OwhyOwhy @JaneDavis13 @martin_eve @MisaimedBrn @sarahthesheepu Feel better. Looking forward to seeing the rest of you soon. #
@sarahthesheepu @OwhyOwhy @eingang @janedavis13 @martin_eve @misaimedbrain See you in an hour! #phdchat #
@Eingang @JaneDavis13 @martin_eve @MisaimedBrain @OwhyOwhy @sarahthesheepu We do hope so! #phdchat #
@MisaimedBrain @sarahthesheepu @OwhyOwhy @JaneDavis13 @Eingang @martin_eve Ahh, lovely. At least I did not notice anything…off. #
@MisaimedBrain @sarahthesheepu @OwhyOwhy @JaneDavis13 @Eingang @martin_eve What is EDL? #
Looking forward to the #phdchat meetup in LONDON in 3 hours. Goodness, I need to clean up first! #
@MisaimedBrain @sarahthesheepu @OwhyOwhy @JaneDavis13 @Eingang @martin_eve Was just in King's Cross +St Pancras; seemed fine. What happened? #
@Eingang @JaneDavis13 @OwhyOwhy @MisaimedBrain @sarahthesheepu @martin_eve hope your migraine leaves in time; will be great to see you! #
@JaneDavis13 @OwhyOwhy @Eingang @MisaimedBrain @sarahthesheepu @martin_eve Sorry to hear you will not join us, Jane. Feel better. #
Finally made it to the Hotel Russell, where I am staying while in London. #
@sarahthesheepu After 90 minutes of waiting at Heathrow, I had to wonder if it would have been faster to claim asylum? No line there. #
@sarahthesheepu Yes, got it. Thanks. #
@sarahthesheepu Thank you! #
@karynfulcher I have heard that. Thankfully my first time (no puns, now!) was so smooth and happy. #
@VGoodyear Well, that is part of the joy of not checking anything! #
@kiwicito True, very true. As it was nearly a 90 minute wait, I wish I had a travel partner to chat with. Hey, that's Twitter, eh? #
@klang67 Yes, I wish I had you there to keep reminding me of that. #
Due to such a long line at Heathrow, need to go directly to the British Library for my 11:00 meeting. Sure security will love my travel bags #
@sarahthesheepu Looking forward to our little, or not so little, #phdchat meetup tonight. That means I need some sleep this afternoon. #
@ASBO_Allstar Thanks, love England. Now, just waiting for the love back today! #
@karynfulcher It was my first time on Air Canada, and can say nothing but positive about it. Perhaps I got the yang of your ying? #
@Azuresong Be surprised in the twists and turns in life! #
@salma_patel Thanks! #
Nearly an hour on this blasted line at Heathrow, and still waiting. Perhaps this will purge my impatience? #
Good gods, this line at Heathrow Border control is so long and moving so slowly that I am wondering if Britain does not want visitors. #
Arrived in Heathrow to a huge line at Border Control. Thumbs up to Air Canada for a smooth and pleasant trip. #

On the plane (it is full) about to leave for London Heathrow. First time flying Air Canada. Lovely plane and nice crew. #
@robinyap @edwardperry Excellent! When to NYC again? Hope to travel to Vancouver in April, pending my #AERA abstract! #
@Azuresong Seems you may be happy with any travel at this time! Any plans in the works? #
@Azuresong Yes, it is wonderful to be able to do. Where have you been / where do you hope to go next? #
Finished my work at the airport and now ready for a drink or 2 pre-flight; decided to do things in the reverse order this time! #
@lynntrinko I am agreeing with you on this one! #
@Azuresong It was wonderful; did not expect it to be so wonderful! #
@VGoodyear Ouch; can you convert it all to PPT? #phdchat #
@VGoodyear Yes, so fingers crossed it will be a good conference! #BERA #
@sarahthesheepu @Eingang @JaneDavis13 @martin_eve @MisaimedBrain @OwhyOwhy The planned LONDON #phdchat #meetup is only a day away! #
Catching up on a few things before heading to London for #BERA2011 This said, I will try to Tweet along the way as I can #phdchat #
I had a wonderful 2 days in Montreal, staying with @robinyap and @edwardperry while seeing as much as possible with my extended layover. #
Sitting in the Air Canada lounge in Montreal, watching one of those massive Air France double-decker Airbus planes approach the gate. Wow. #
Spent the morning at the Oratory St Joseph and now to meet another colleague before lunch. I do like Montreal. #

Will make adjustments for the usb and template for #BERA2011 Oh well, if that is the biggest trip hiccup, I will count my stars! #phdchat #
AND #BERA2011 sends a slide template that is really not one; it is only a single Title slide without a place for the Title text #phdchat #
No sooner do I leave #NYC for London for #BERA2011 than they send an email asking us to bring our slides on a memory stick. #phdchat #
Spent the entire afternoon walking through Old Montreal; I really like the sound of French while strolling along cobblestone streets. #
@sarahthesheepu @OwhyOwhy @Eingang @martin_eve @JaneDavis13 @MisaimedBrain I look like my avatar, so hope to find everybody #phdchat #
@sarahthesheepu @OwhyOwhy @Eingang @martin_eve @JaneDavis13 @MisaimedBrain Excellent. Will look forward to meeting you all on Sat at 7. #
@kiwicito First presentation this year. I have attended a number of conferences where I presented over the past few years. #
Come to think of it #BERA2011 is the only conference I am attending in 2011. See what time doctoral thesis research takes? #phdchat #
At Newark Airport waiting for my flight to Montreal, where I will spend one night en route to London for #BERA2011 #phdchat #

Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2011-09-01

@lizith @sarahthesheepu True; though reminds me of transformative learning, a frame I have found quite engaging #phdchat #
@lizith I am presenting on Tuesday morning in the early-career researcher track at #BERA2011 #phdchat #
@Editage Thank you! #
@martin_eve @eingang If anybody brings an OH, make sure we have them counted, due to the need for reservations #phdchat #
@martin_eve @eingang Ahh, got it. Not familiar with the term; live and learn. #phdchat #
@danya I mean the analytic approach! #phdchat #
@merry30 @sarahthesheepu Perhaps a difference is the focus on content vs a focus on communicating it? #phdchat #
@Azuresong When do you start classes? Will you still be working while studying? #
@Azuresong Sounds hard to deal with. Ouch. #
@christiepooh I recall a recent conference where people read at each other. An utter waste of time; just send it and be done! #phdchat #
@kiwicito @sarahthesheepu Perhaps that differentiates following the crowd with creating original work and banging one's own drum? #phdchat #
@sarahthesheepu @OwhyOwhy @Eingang @martin_eve @JaneDavis13 @MisaimedBrain It looks like we are the 7 for the #phdchat meetup this Sat at 7 #
@gconole Got it, and looking forward to the visit. Thanks again! #
@klbz Horrible event it was. Hope your damage is not too drastic. #
Packing for my trip to #BERA2011 #phdchat #
I am not planning to read a paper at people in #BERA2011 hope to work through my research via simple slides with quote fragments #phdchat #
@OrgMotivation We will miss you. @OwhyOwhy @sarahthesheepu @Eingang @martin_eve @JaneDavis13 @MisaimedBrain #
@OrgMotivation Ouch, all the best with those. I try to avoid them whenever I can. #
@lizith @sarahthesheepu Or perhaps be strategic in how requests are made? #phdchat #
@Eingang Not catching the reference . . . @OwhyOwhy @sarahthesheepu @martin_eve @JaneDavis13 @MisaimedBrain #
@ianrobsons @caromoeckel @JaneDavis13 @DrAshCasey That is not an easy one. Can you readily adapt it? #
@sarahthesheepu Why do you think this dismissiveness from those folks is affecting how you value academic thinking and sharing? #phdchat #
@klbz Yes, horrible there. How did you fare? #
@TallMIGirl Alas, no Ireland in the cards this time. Will hope for that at a conference next June. #
@sarahthesheepu Goodness, why so negative on social media in academia? #phdchat #
@ianrobsons Sorry for the delay; what happened? #phdchat #
@OrgMotivation Did that happen to you?! #phdchat #
@OwhyOwhy @sarahthesheepu @Eingang @martin_eve @JaneDavis13 @MisaimedBrain Seems there are 7 of us for the LONDON #phdchat #meetup Sat eve? #
@OrgMotivation Will miss you, especially after all the Tweets! @OwhyOwhy @sarahthesheepu @Eingang @martin_eve @JaneDavis13 @MisaimedBrain #
@DrAshCasey Thanks! Yes, I will attend the entire conference, so will look forward to coffee or such. Will be great for #F2F at #BERA2011 #
@Azuresong Did you weather #Irene ok? #
@Azuresong We had little damage, but between power outages, lack of Internet, and beyond-belief traffic coming back to #NYC I am worn out. #
@goodguydan Good suggestion, though doesn't that still happen after upgrading to something too new? #fxhelp #
@sarahthesheepu Exciting! May just see you twice in London next week! #phdchat #
@danya I have not started the analysis yet, so am still formulating ideas. How did you approach it? #phdchat #
@DJresearcher I agree completely; now to shift and actually heed the advice! #phdchat #
@ai1sa I know some of the titles of the classes I teach lead to interesting, as well as unique, abbreviations, so good for hash tags. #
BTW, tomorrow morning at this time I should be at the airport beginning my trip to London for #BERA2011 First stop, Montreal. #
I have been so busy catching up at work and research due to the horrible disruption of #Irene that I have hardly visited my colleagues here. #
