Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2011-07-19

@trentmkays Then again, that is how I use this here app . . . #
@trentmkays Colleague. #
@qui_oui Depends on how financially well off you were. Some thing never change. #
@trentmkays I follow you. I am known as a follower . . . goodness, I hate being defined!! #
I consider #phdchat a community of practice (CoP), though some of my colleagues may not agree. Linguistic or ontological difference? #
@NSRiazat @cambgirl I am noticing how the sheer number of Tweets in #phdchat has increased, and there still seems to be a sense of community #
@NSRiazat @cambgirl Alas, one of the mixed blessings of an open community owned by the community, change can happen #phdchat #
@NSRiazat @cambgirl Nothing concrete to change #phdchat date or time, but as the community grows it will develop and hopefully adapt. #
@NSRiazat @cambgirl @aeratcliffe While #phdchat is established at that time, why can't a discussion about apps take place there as part? #
@NSRiazat Hoping to attend both. Planning for London in September and will hope for my #AERA proposal #phdchat #
@NSRiazat Hoping to attend both. Planning for London in September and will hope for my #AERA proposal. #phdchat #
@thesiswhisperer Balance, now that there is a tricky one. Alas, only so much in one lifetime. #phdchat #
@JimTheDean Kudos to you; now to maintain the progress #phdchat #
@savasavasava How horrible. Is your friend ok? #
@klbz @savasavasava Love to get together finally, but a bit pressed right now. Can we plan for the week of August 1? #NYC #phdchat #meetup #
A tool for academic writing « Beyond Distance Research Alliance Blog http://t.co/JpXkg23 via @Diigo #phdchat #
Getting cloudy. The forecast is for strong thunder storms this evening in #NYC #
Stiflingly hot in #NYC today. #
I have been at VNSNY, where I work full-time, for 6 years today. Wow, time flies. #
@aeratcliffe Ahh, got it. BTW, #Papers2 just had a new video on YouTube about Papers Livfe #PapersApp #phdchat @PapersGenius #
@aeratcliffe What sort of training? #phdchat #
@dbaQ8 Sending you positive vibes for it #phdchat #
@jenny_wakefield Too much to write and too little time #AERA #phdchat #
@NSRiazat #AERA is a tremendous organization with, what I understand to be among the larger conferences. Have never attended it #phdchat #
@allonsdanser Small world! This was meant to be for a short period as I was going to buy a template, but time is short. #phdchat #
@savasavasava What happened? #
Finally parked. What a long 4 hour drive back into #NYC #

Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2011-07-18

@savasavasava Lucky you for such a healthy way to wake up. #
@hummingbird604 Hope she feels better. #
@klbz @savasavasava I wish I could make it, but with the #AERA deadline on Friday, I cannot take any commitments until that is finished. #
@gconole Alas, at least not the entire paper; only 2000 words! #
Is anybody else out there lamenting the short time between now and the #AERA deadline on the 22nd? #phdchat #
@savasavasava How is your trip proceeding? #
@macboyx Gods bless America. #
@mark_carrigan It will be easier to do with those little initials. So silly, I know, but people can be silly. #
@pinoyboy @macboyx Wal-Mart? #
@LouLouK @merry30 The more I have chatted with colleagues on Twitter, such as through #phdchat the more I feel engaged. I try to share back #
@mark_carrigan How much? 😉 #
@MikeStorrings Finally! Welcome to Twitter. #
@merry30 @LouLouK Goodness, what Tweets is that person following? #phdchat #
@merry30 @kiwicito I have heard lots of talk about Google+. That's about it; lots of talk. Alas. #phdchat #
@kiwicito Amazing progress; keep up all the good work #phdchat #
@aeratcliffe Do what we need to do to have all our PhD fun! #phdchat #
@eoinomahony @WHYHATE @icorda @PeterFlomStat @christiepooh @kiwicito @kevpet40 @stefanitza @snurb_dot_info Thought I was the only anti-Skype #
I hate Skype. I hate Skype. I hate Skype. Did they consciously develop it without regard to usability and end-user design? #
Is it just me, or is Skype infuriatingly difficult to figure out? Each upgrade changes the look and feel and functionality. Hate the app. #
@aeratcliffe Great; let me get on. #
@vigdissj Yes, I am beginning my thesis research now, so moving along nicely. How are your studies and associated work coming? #
@aeratcliffe Not on Skype now, but can go on if you want a quick chat. When is convenient? #
@cristinacost Have you seen that text? #
There is a rather happy and song-filled male cardinal at the bird feeder right now. They are spectacular looking birds. #
@AndyRKett Goodness, sorta reminds me of impression management. #
@nycrican2 Make sure you enjoy your time there! #
@vigdissj Though I cannot understand some of your recent Tweets, so nice to see you here again. Hope you are well! #
@aeratcliffe Thanks again for the London hotel recommendation. Hope to decide and have reservations done this week. #
@MargaretJeanArt Didn't you recently change your Twitter name? #
@MargaretJeanArt Once again, thank you for the London hotels recommendations. Hope to decide this week. #
@dbaQ8 Excellent!. You may find the friendly and helpful folks at #phdchat quite helpful to doctoral students. #
@christiepooh Yes, and now I have a lot of catch-up to do! #
Planted a tree and 3 bushes this afternoon. Beat. More tomorrow. #

Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2011-07-17

@MargaretJeanArt Are there still private rooms there? #
@naomi_jacobs Excellent; thank you! #
@GinaLuttrell I tried to clarify the criteria http://bit.ly/lAFxSf and would love you as a participant if you meet them and are willing! #
@GinaLuttrell However, I am starting to mention my research to people who may be interested, as I want to begin ASAP after next week. #
@GinaLuttrell I have not actively started to look for participants yet, as I am finishing my piloting (will finish this week). #
@GinaLuttrell Very true!! #
@dbaQ8 You are using a default Twitter image, rather than uploading your own. Also, there is no public description in Twitter for you. #
@SarahR_H This looks like a great review; will need to spend more time with it and comment later today. #phdchat #
Such a beautiful morning. Can't wait to get outside to tend to the lawn, but inside chores need to come first. #
Attending the #BERA conference in London in September? Kudos for their finally creating a Twitter presence @BERAConference #phdchat #
@BERAConference Is there a Twitter tag for this coming conference? Perhaps #BERA11 or #BERA2011 #
Enough work and driving for today. Miss chatting with colleagues, but alas some days are just all work and no sharing. #phdchat #

Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2011-07-16

Day almost too busy for a Tweet. I have a lot to catch up on tonight and tomorrow. #

Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2011-07-15

@GinaLuttrell Looking at liminal experiences in doctoral students who encounter a-ha moments. #
@GinaLuttrell I have my topic and such listed on my blog – http://bit.ly/lAFxSf and am about to look for participants. #
@GinaLuttrell Can you tell I have used a Blackberry with a full keyboard for years?! #
@GinaLuttrell Goodness, have not seen all the abbreviations used in Tweets before; took me a few reads to get it. #
@naomi_jacobs Sounds interesting. Can you talk about what you mean by "transgressive bodies" there? #phdchat #
@lizith @naomi_jacobs Wonderful. Can you share one thing that you are taking away with you?#phdchat #
@qui_oui @savasavasava I thought YOU might appreciate that!! BTW, I am traveling to Montreal for my first time in September. #
@savasavasava In a number of ways it reminds me of Chicago; they try so hard to be like #NYC #
@MargaretJeanArt Thank you for the hotel recommendations! You have stayed at all of them? #
@LBA_OX12 I looked all over for it, but think I did something wrong; could not locate. Can you share a link? Thanks! #phdchat #
@dbaQ8 Got it. So, when will you upload an avatar and a description? #
@GinaLuttrell Excellent. What is your topic? #
@jimmejardine Would love to try it as soon as you offer a Mac version of it. #
@aeratcliffe Any specific one? Thanks! #phdchat #
I have thus far left the office each day this week with #InboxZero #
I jumped on the train that was in he station to meet a colleague downtown for lunch. However, wrong train. Almost ended up in Brooklyn. #
Beautiful morning here in #NYC right now. Looking forward to the walk to the office. #
@qui_oui @savasavasava Sounds great. I know Toronto a bit, though have not ventured too far afield except to the airport! #
@aeratcliffe @hummingbird604 @shelzangel @savvyOD I have not used either, so will look forward to your review! #phdchat #
@savasavasava Seems a little on the scary / shady side. Perhaps I am a traditionalist after all? #
@savasavasava @qui_oui How cool. Where are you in Canada, anyway? #
@shaileshak @janiewoodsie That text by Trafford and Leshem is fantastic! #phdchat #
@savasavasava How is Canada treating you? #
@savasavasava What is that? #phdchat #
@naomi_jacobs Most excellent. From my limited experience to that over the past couple of years, it seems a fantastic area of study #phdchat #
@protoscholar You make it seem so quick and easy! #phdchat #
@SueFolley I have never been successful in creating Excel-based Gantts. #phdchat #
@SarahR_H I will look forward to it! #phdchat #
@GinaLuttrell Yes, I do know of his work. I almost studied at CIIS; seems like a wonderful institution. What are you working on now? #
I am beginning to look for a hotel for the first weekend in September in London. Any reasonable recommendations? #phdchat #
