Just read Steve Fox's excellent 2002 book chapter on Actor-network theory and Networked Learning #phdchat #ANT #nlc2012 #
@kiwicito @papersapp @mekentosj Searching notes is also high-up on my wish list! in reply to kiwicito #
@sarahthesheepu I recall chatting about it. Is your schedule here set yet? Can we plan dinner? in reply to sarahthesheepu #
@mekentosj @papersapp I often add several articles or book chapters from the same edited work, and it would speed up retyping the same info in reply to mekentosj #
@mekentosj @papersapp Please consider adding! in reply to mekentosj #
@stealthpooch Agreed; nothing like trying to read or transcribe with them on the lap. in reply to stealthpooch #
@lindathestar I would compliment you indeed if ethics fully makes sense! #phdchat in reply to lindathestar #
@kiwicito @papersapp @mekentosj I wish it would copy parts of records; would help with book chapters or thematic journal issues #phdchat in reply to kiwicito #
@kiwicito @papersapp @mekentosj What do you find to be the biggest time saving? #phdchat in reply to kiwicito #
@stealthpooch Great reason for the avatar then. Always had dogs; lots of work but even more rewards. in reply to stealthpooch #
@savasavasava Oh, shucks . . . in reply to savasavasava #
@papersapp @mekentosj Will it be recorded? in reply to papersapp #
@stealthpooch You have dogs? in reply to stealthpooch #
@sarahthesheepu When are you planning to come again? in reply to sarahthesheepu #
@stealthpooch To be fair, I can fall asleep standing and in the middle of conversation, just like them. More commitments, however . . . in reply to stealthpooch #
@gconole I wanted to attend #SRHE11 but will vicariously attend through you. Did you speak yet? All the best! in reply to gconole #
@stealthpooch 2 little pugs. I thought they would have lasted longer than they did, but now they are back to sleep and I am jealous. in reply to stealthpooch #
@noahsparks Answering a question with another question; what are you, running for politics? 😉 in reply to noahsparks #
The dogs got me up early, and as I have to get to my office to attend the #Lancs department research seminar, may as well stay up #phdchat #
Just finished a #transcriptdoro glad to get one in this evening. Now, to prep for sleep #phdchat #
@HelenHickson Always a good sign. The way I figure, once you run out of questions or things to explore, then there is nothing left. in reply to HelenHickson #

@trentmkays or under threat of being tossed to the lions . . . in reply to trentmkays #
@queercrip Indeed, NYC is fantastic, truly the Center of Civilization as we Know It. However it does take a fair amount of work to live here in reply to queercrip #
@rlk300 Alas . . . in reply to rlk300 #
After all these years, I still enjoy Take Me Home by Phil Collins; lots of good energy. #
@queercrip New York City! in reply to queercrip #
@noahsparks Perhaps flip it around; why are you assuming it should not be a challenge? in reply to noahsparks #
@DrAshCasey Absolutely amazing photo. in reply to DrAshCasey #
@ai1sa 😉 in reply to ai1sa #
@ASBO_Allstar Sage advice. In many ways I feel I need a day off to clear my mind, but think would have a meltdown if I had unstructured time in reply to ASBO_Allstar #
@ai1sa Get lots done and written; I need to quote your thesis in mine . . . #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
@ai1sa Well then, kudos to you for seeing social media as a treat and not as life support. in reply to ai1sa #
@ASBO_Allstar Appreciate your sound encouragement . . . in reply to ASBO_Allstar #
@ASBO_Allstar That is the best advice I have heard all day. So tough to do with so much to do. in reply to ASBO_Allstar #
@sarahthesheepu You are not along; I feel Twitter has recently been neglecting me! in reply to sarahthesheepu #
@HelenHickson Excellent. Are you taking or teaching? #phdchat in reply to HelenHickson #
@ai1sa I thought you were taking a writing week off? #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
@queercrip At this point, days and nights are not as clearly distinguished. I hate working on everything at this pace . . . in reply to queercrip #
@Greg1888 Thanks for the recommendation. in reply to Greg1888 #
This week is wearing me down; tonight will have to be an early, sleep catch-up night. #
This all day Excel class I am taking is quite good. #
Goodness, gotta get to the office a bit earlier today; all day class in Excel ahead. #
I have no idea where tonight went. #

Just got a copy of Holstein and Gubrium's Varieties of Narrative Analysis which I am reviewing for a number of purposes #phdchat #

@JaneBozarth and indeed they would know. Trying to hold on and still finish next year #phdchat in reply to JaneBozarth #
@robinyap Loads of fun indeed. Nice to hear these stories for a second time #phdchat in reply to robinyap #
@JaneBozarth Indeed you did, indeed you did. Lucky you! #phdchat in reply to JaneBozarth #
@JaneBozarth That may be the case as well; we'll see. Better to have more than not enough I suppose #phdchat in reply to JaneBozarth #
@JaneBozarth I know I probably had too many, but I am not good at saying no to people who seem to have interesting stories to share #phdchat in reply to JaneBozarth #
@JaneBozarth True, true. Lucky you. #phdchat in reply to JaneBozarth #
@JaneBozarth In this way, it feels I will never get finished. Oh yeah, I will THEN have to analyze and begin to write #phdchat in reply to JaneBozarth #
@JaneBozarth It is going, but a bit slowly. I have 21 interviews and the transcription process is like a full-time job #phdchat in reply to JaneBozarth #
Sunday night, which means yet more transcription #phdchat #
@savasavasava Nothing to taste. Yet. in reply to savasavasava #
It feels like snow. #

Hurray; ironing done for the week. Now to fold and put it all away. #
@ai1sa @gawbul That is a nice, tangible goal. Good speed to you! #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
@christiepooh No, I am not familiar. Hope things will work out. in reply to christiepooh #
@robmyers Alas, they are not always the same. Not sure why. in reply to robmyers #
@christiepooh So sorry; not sure who that is, though my thoughts are with you and yours. in reply to christiepooh #
@sarahthesheepu How about today? in reply to sarahthesheepu #
@ai1sa Imagine, ironing as meditative practice. in reply to ai1sa #
@ai1sa I don't mind ironing; it is one of the few times during the week I am not able to multitask. in reply to ai1sa #
Now time to do the ironing; after 4 loads of wash this morning, I have a pile ahead. #
@ai1sa Enjoy the writing retreat! #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
