Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2011-06-22

@DrAshCasey Not at all; you dropped off your bags first. #
@aeratcliffe Goodness, what sorts of cocktail parties are you attending if the topic is discourse analysis? #phdchat #
@kiwicito Goodness, a 2 1/2 hour interview? How on earth will you transcribe something like that? #phdchat #
@jaynedmarks Sorry, but I am not clear what the context is of your Tweet; you did not seem to reply to a specific post that I can determine. #
@emeslea It was a spectacular sunset, with the sun finally being swallowed and hidden by irregular (to us) clouds. #
Going to bring some wine to the roof to enjoy the flowers and bushes while taking in the view of the setting Solstice sun. #
@kiwicito Are you doing your interviews in person and recording them? #phdchat #
@aeratcliffe How is the workshop going? #phdchat #
Hope to avoid the rain today. Carried my umbrella, so that should prevent it from happening at all. #
RT @pewinternet: In case you missed it: As of May 2011, 13% of online adults use Twitter, up from 8% in November 2010. http://is.gd/WkGAyF #
@cambgirl Now, continue to be more present to how you did that, and you may just begin to notice patterns in how you speak #phdchat #
@lornarichardson Sorry. #
@lizith That is about how long it takes me to transcribe as well. Alas, however you approach it, a lot of work. #
@eoinomahony Thanks for the references. #
@aeratcliffe Got it; thanks. #
@cambgirl I teach this in one of my courses, and it only happens after time and effort. As you noted, it wil… (cont) http://deck.ly/~6TDGY #
@cambgirl Practice, rehearse, record yourself and watch, have a helper point out every time you do it, join SpeechMasters. #
@daciatakesnote Hope your LA trip is already moving ahead smoothly. #
@Lemness Loads of fun; nothing like a 14th floor rooftop bar that overlooks the Empire State Building; literally across the street. #
@mrgunn Thanks for the heads-up. Will look forward to testing it. @kiwicito @aeratcliffe @jhfrudd #
@lizgloyn Love the graduation photos; well worth waiting for! Enjoyed our final #NYC #phdchat #meetup drinks before your return to the UK. #

@daciatakesnote Sorry will miss you! Headed to the 14th floor now to meet @savasavasava and @lizgloyn #phdchat #NYC #meetup #
@lizgloyn @savasavasava 6:30 is fine. See you upstairs then! #
@lizgloyn @savasavasava We will see you soon. Liz, 6:00 still works for you, or would you prefer later as well? #
Lincoln Center Festival can keep their tickets with their 25% mandatory donation, $3 facility fee, and $6 service fee per ticket #SMFH #NYC #
Wanted to see the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Lincoln Center Festival, but there is a forced 25% contribution required per ticket. #WTF #
@lizith Most excellent. How long did each one take? #phdchat #
@cambgirl Can you share one theme, perhaps a simplification of something interesting you noticed? #phdchat #
@lizith Congrats! how many transcripts and how long were the recordings? #
@ai1sa At least they have been read now. Beats 2 months from now. #
@eoinomahony What did you get it on? #
@aeratcliffe Not following what the direct links for PDF is referring to; think I missed something along the way. #phdchat #
@kiwicito @aeratcliffe @jhfrudd I swear by the Manuscripts insert feature in Papers2, as #Papersapp plays nicely with everything #phdchat #
@BronSt Ouch, I have a commitment on Wednesday already. Rrrrrr. Do you have any breaks during the day, or will Thursday night work for you? #

Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2011-06-20

@christiepooh As long as one knows what one is searching for. Perhaps this explains why I do not window shop or browse in stores? #
@trentmkays Yet, can or should learning about critical theory be fun? #
@lizgloyn @savasavasava See you there at 6:00. If bad weather, let's meet in the lobby. #phchat @daciatakesnote #
@savasavasava 😉 #
@christiepooh Goodness, how is that book? #
@christiepooh Got it! Have never bought or sold anything on Craigslist; the site overwhelms and disorients me. #
@savasavasava FIngers crossed for your speedy joining of us tomorrow! #
@lizgloyn @savasavasava Excellent; let's hope for good weather. Shall we meet upstairs? #NYC #phdchat #meetup @daciatakesnote #
@savasavasava @lizgloyn I didn't get a logistical email 🙁 #
@christiepooh I have not seen you talk about your studies recently. Hmmmm. #
@savasavasava Any pictures of the offender? #
@trentmkays and don't forget Brookfield; you are near where he teaches. #
@trentmkays Alas again, I have met many who hegemonicly love their oppression. #
@trentmkays Alas, I blame Freire for recasting the status quo from my content self-righteousness to one of struggle for justice and equality #
@christiepooh Any scary stories about people coming to look? BTW, what are you selling? #
@trentmkays or look for the door . . . #
@aeratcliffe Enjoy that conference; I saw it and was really quite tempted. #phdchat #
@trentmkays What a Freirian! Kudos to you. So, what are you helping your students to liberate themselves from? #
@aeratcliffe How old are the books on distance ed in Asia (as if Asia were a small place with a single culture!!) #phdchat #
@jhfrudd Sounds interesting. I tested #Devonthink but it was just beyond me. #phdchat #
@aeratcliffe @jhfrudd #Papers2 is worth the peace of mind; I now have too much information not to organize it #phdchat #
@trentmkays That implies students have the wherewithal & motivation, and us the means, to liberate. What was that about the devil you know? #
@ai1sa I am more process than operations, and have been known to spend ungodly time perfecting a process without implementation #phdchat #
@BronSt How about Tuesday evening, for dinner or drinks? Anybody else from #CP2 #CPsquare is welcome to join. #
@allonsdanser Will share when written. Now I am only (only?!?!) gathering the literature. Then to clean, sort, read, and annotate #phdchat #
@webnemesis I am adding them to #Paper2 cleaning the refs, and moving them into folders (one for each of my 7 literature topics) #phdchat #
@webnemesis #Mendeley has been promising a fix for duplicates (literally) for years http://bit.ly/iohFTL; I could not wait any more #phdchat #
@webnemesis Yes, that is why I switched from #Mendeley to #Papers2 to manage PDFs due to the duplication issue #phdchat #
@lizgloyn @savasavasava Are we set for time 6:00 and place Mé Bar http://mebarnyc.com/ for #NYC #phdchat #meetup tomorrow? @daciatakesnote #
Sat on the roof to read my book and watch the sun set as my reward for a full day of studying; lovely way to end the weekend. #phdchat #
@lizgloyn @savasavasava @daciatakesnote Thanks for the kind offer, but I think we are set for now. Starting to peal away before the move? #
I have 7 areas in my literature review, and I stopped looking for this one after I exhausted 6 databases of journal articles #phdchat #
Finished searching for and gathering the literature in one area of my lit review. Next step is to process this electronic stack #phdchat #
While I am not fond of the user interface for EBSCOhost, the database functionality and alert notification sign-ups are very smooth #phdchat #
Listening to Cee Lo Green's Bright Lights Bigger City. Not fond of his work until I saw him on Leno. Impressed – him, his style, and music. #
Time for a short break before moving on to the last database on my list; this is for one set of lit review terms alone! #phdchat #
Back to the literature review. This time into ProQuest. #phdchat #

Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2011-06-19

Just had a drink, nice conversation, a beautiful sunset, and a short read on the roof. Nice end to the day. #
Enough literature review for today. Want to go and enjoy the last bit of daylight, perhaps from the roof. #
@webnemesis Excellent. Are you using terms / subterms across databases first, to see trends and avoid duplication? #phdchat #
Listening to Never Let Me Down Again (Eric Prydz Remix) from Depeche Mode Remixes 2: 81-11 (Deluxe Version); absolutely fantastic remix. #
@lizgloyn @savasavasava I love the idea of this bar; have been there once before, and is even on the block where I work @daciatakesnote #
I decided to do my literature review by topic, rather than by databases. Hope that was a wise idea. Hmm, I smell a blog post coming #phdchat #
@BronSt Excellent; enjoy the visit! #
@savasavasava Goodness, boarded there for how long? #
@lservage @ASBO_Allstar @ndcollier Well, what is the point of Dragon if it does not help with transcription?! #phdchat #
The Informaworld / Taylor and Francis journals site and search capacity is robust, but the user account component seems broken #phdchat #
I find the #Sage Publications journals site, search capacity, and user account experience to be remarkably dated and inefficient #phdchat #
My literature review is now moving on to Informaworld / Taylor and Francis #phdchat #
@sarahthesheepu @lizgloyn @eloise_z I tend to do peanuts or sunflower seeds. They kinda count, I suppose. #
@savasavasava That is the one on the second floor on 5th Ave in Manhattan, yes? #
@lizgloyn @sarahthesheepu @eloise_z Perhaps I will try them. What I eat late at night, trying to stay awake, is not particularly healthy. #
@ASBO_Allstar @ndcollier Thanks for the suggestion. If only Dragon would work with recorded interviewees, it would be fantastic! #phdchat #
@sarahthesheepu @lizgloyn @eloise_z Celery and houmous together? #phdchat #
@ndcollier I am about to buy a new digital voice recorder as well #phdchat #highered #
@BronSt Great; will look forward to hearing back from you. Am getting thirsty . . . #
@BronSt Columbus Ave. on the Upper West Side? Not sure; I rarely get up that direction. You in #NYC this weekend as well? #
@BronSt Will do. Enjoy the lovely weekend. #
Enough in front of my computer. Time to stretch and get some fresh air outside for a little while. #
The discussion is led by Enrique Murillo (Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México), who will discuss virtual Communities of Practice vCoP #
I am hosting a discussion this week in CPsquare, the Community of Practice on Communities of Practice http://cpsquare.org/ #
@aeratcliffe @martin_eve Good points both! Thank you. #
@aeratcliffe @kiwicito Got it. Asking as I have heard people speak of a value in registering and hosting with different companies. #
@aeratcliffe @kiwicito Yes, though do you register the domains and host them at the same place? #
If you teach and study at the same, what do you call them to differentiate? Calling them "school" can refer to either #phdchat #
Catching up with the specs and grading from the course I am teaching. #
@aeratcliffe @kiwicito Do you register and host with the same company? #
@aeratcliffe @kiwicito I like the idea of the .org et al., though do not use them. #
Was up at 5:00 am this morning to walk the dogs; just stayed up and now have fully ironed laundry from yesterday. #
@gconole Love the new avatar! Enjoy your conference today. #
@lizith Don't push yourself too much today; you do not want to work yourself sick again. #
@BronSt I can do Tues or Wed night, unless meeting for lunch is better; day or evening? #
@kiwicito I would get them all; registration is inexpensive enough, and a single host account and domain parking can link them #phdchat #
@kiwicito Not sure I would suggest the specific ideas in print until you register them #phdchat #
@ldinstl_chimera @bronst Wisconsin? #
@lizgloyn That is one of the things about critical theory, it is easy to revert to the status quo unless we are constantly reminded #phdchat #
@PMAnswerBook Alas, I missed that routine. Let me just say that my falafel was wonderful, and worth what I thought was the extra cost. #
@lizgloyn Thanks for the #ff Not sure how I took a vacation day off yesterday, but still had it booked with meetings and tasks. #
Tried to watch Out of Africa, which I have never seen, last night. However, 1 hour and 25 minutes in, the scratched DVD stopped. 🙁 #
I get to catch up with some of my literature review this morning #phdchat #

Travel Bag Face-Off for Conference Travel http://t.co/V9jmgD2 #phdchat – since I posted this, both bags have shipped. Will assess next week. #
@NSRiazat @ai1sa Not sure I want to dedicate large, solid blocks of time to anything; I would find that tedious and repetitive #phdchat #
@savasavasava @lizgloyn @daciatakesnote Good, will look forward to Monday's #phdchat #NYC #meetup #
Was headed for pizza, but decided on a falafel instead. How can Taim in the West Village have a line clogging the entire sidewalk at 2:00? #
For a day off, I don't know where it has gone. Wow. #
