@TeoBishop Goodness what snow. Wow. Even for your neck of the woods it is a lot. Any problems encountered for you? in reply to TeoBishop #
@suifaijohnmak @jennymackness @myen @saadat_m @sidchevie Too bad . . . will miss you #nlc2012 in reply to suifaijohnmak #
@Flamingshoe Excellent. It is helpful to see such similarities and differences; makes the world a more interesting place. in reply to Flamingshoe #
@queercrip Enjoy it! in reply to queercrip #
@minus18youth @lindathestar What a great event; too bad things like that were not around years ago. in reply to minus18youth #
@trentmkays I suppose yelling "J'accuse!" at them is better than a bit#h slap. in reply to trentmkays #
@Paganmusic Yes, something like that;-) Then again, you are known for your wisdom!! in reply to Paganmusic #
@trentmkays I am sure nobody has ever been a jerk head to you on Twitter 😉 in reply to trentmkays #
@Wine99 @lizith If only I were closer!! in reply to Wine99 #
@Paganmusic Goodness, and that was a Sweepstakes?!?! How . . . reserved. Perhaps a case of that traditional British stiff upper lip 😉 in reply to Paganmusic #
@Flamingshoe Can you share something you recently discovered? #phdchat in reply to Flamingshoe #
@christiepooh Goodness, it really must be rough! #phdchat in reply to christiepooh #
@Paganmusic I hope in the process you made enough to retire if you wished! in reply to Paganmusic #
@Paganmusic I didn't know any Brits liked American football, what with all its standing around and such! in reply to Paganmusic #
@idlEthnographer Ouch; so sorry to hear #phdchat in reply to idlEthnographer #
@DeborahALock Remember to stretch your lower back! #phdchat in reply to DeborahALock #
@sarahthesheepu @thesiswhisperer You are both not alone!! in reply to sarahthesheepu #
@Eingang @JaneDavis13 Cool. I teach from time to time in a similar program at #NYU have had to temper my teaching until done with #phd in reply to Eingang #
@tpstudent @trentmkays Thanks for the feedback on it! in reply to tpstudent #
@JaneDavis13 What sort of a program is it? in reply to JaneDavis13 #
@sarahthesheepu Indeed to want one of those after the first one! in reply to sarahthesheepu #
Has anybody ever used TAMS Analyzer for Mac? http://t.co/0A4dc8Qk #CAQDAS #phdchat #nlc2012 #change11 #
@sarahthesheepu Why on earth do you want one of those after all your work?! in reply to sarahthesheepu #
@sarahthesheepu Excellent; enjoy it. in reply to sarahthesheepu #
@isadedieu et voila, there it is! in reply to isadedieu #
@Eingang @gconole I know, but any reference to finished and thesis is a good reference in my book! in reply to Eingang #
@sarahthesheepu Excellent, and welcome. in reply to sarahthesheepu #
@gconole Keep speaking those magic words to urge us (ME!) on! in reply to gconole #
@ai1sa Pomodoros are good things #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
@sarahthesheepu huh? #phdhcta in reply to sarahthesheepu #
@ai1sa Narrative inquiry via Riessman, though I still need some help with data analysis to break the clutches of grounded theory #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
@TeoBishop A lot of snow. Did you take any pics out the window or outside? in reply to TeoBishop #
@isadedieu Not sure if you are aware, but your account is protected so your Tweets are not visible. #
@jennymackness Will look forward to it again in 2 years #NLC2012 in reply to jennymackness #
@jennymackness Too bad; would have been nice to share a coffee or more adult beverage! @myen @saadat_m @sidchevie @suifaijohnmak in reply to jennymackness #
@saadat_m @myen @sidchevie Yes, a number of people I hope / wish to see at #NLC2012 @jennymackness @suifaijohnmak in reply to saadat_m #
@saadat_m I heard a few people mention this; have any of the #nlc2012 organizers replied to you? I do not think you are alone in this. in reply to saadat_m #
@TeoBishop Alas, neither did I; that is why I never appreciated knitting until recently. in reply to TeoBishop #
I have been working on cleaning references and have a stack of new research articles to read today. Will do that between my writing #phdchat #
@TeoBishop Is it as bad as the news makes it seem? in reply to TeoBishop #
@TeoBishop Ahh, my grandmother did not knit. When I was younger I only thought of knitting as something for Kleenex box covers. in reply to TeoBishop #
@TeoBishop Goodness, I just realized you are in Denver. No wonder you are knitting, what with all that snow you are navigating! in reply to TeoBishop #
@SteveCooke Many thanks! in reply to SteveCooke #
@TeoBishop Planning to wait until I finish, but perhaps a pic will help move me along. That strategy is helping me through studies as well! in reply to TeoBishop #
@TeoBishop Excellent. What got you into knitting / crochet? in reply to TeoBishop #
@Fifino9 Thanks for the recommendation; I am leaning toward that one. in reply to Fifino9 #
@1080Group Perhaps at a future time! in reply to 1080Group #
@SteveCooke Which text? Sorry, finding it a challenge to keep the threads here coherent. Perhaps that is the story of my life! in reply to SteveCooke #
@ai1sa Is what I am finding as the direction forward. I mainly need a general data analysis text to break me from grounded theory #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
@lynntrinko @nsriazat Indeed, asking peers especially through #phdchat has been a strategy that works well for me over the past 1 1/2 years in reply to lynntrinko #
@ai1sa Thanks for the link for this; had seen it, and it does seem like a good text #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
@TeoBishop I started to knit to help me relax and unwind; like the feel of the natural fibers + repetitive motion. Finishing my first scarf in reply to TeoBishop #
@TeoBishop Looks great. How about larger finished picture of it? The small one looks great. in reply to TeoBishop #

Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2012-02-05

@NSRiazat Yes, though there is something about owning all the texts I use. Perhaps the library is good to assess them pre-purchase? #phdchat in reply to NSRiazat #
@JohnAMacDonald2 Thanks for the references! #phdchat in reply to JohnAMacDonald2 #
@vickyjf Ouch. All the best for working through that one. in reply to vickyjf #
@animavit Will take a look; thanks! in reply to animavit #
@lynntrinko Excellent. Thus far, little writing. Having been working on the methodology and method instead. in reply to lynntrinko #
@kellybergstrom I am not opposed to buying texts; I just want them to be the right ones for me. Thanks for the specs. in reply to kellybergstrom #
@kellybergstrom Thanks. I know what you mean; I have specific needs though TOC are often not enough to decide if the text is the right one. in reply to kellybergstrom #
@miss_mcinerney Yes, diversity can be a good thing. in reply to miss_mcinerney #
@NSRiazat 😉 in reply to NSRiazat #
@NSRiazat Started to do that, and it still helps only so much without seeing more in depth. Not a problem if the books were cheap #phdchat in reply to NSRiazat #
@kellybergstrom Ahh, can you recommend a better one, given I am focusing on narrative inquiry? in reply to kellybergstrom #
@francesbell No, I did not know @cristinacost was doing narrative inquiry. Good reason to chat with her, since has been a while. Thanks. in reply to francesbell #
@animavit Thanks, though I am not planning to use grounded theory. Its influences, but not its specs. BTW, I have it already! #phdchat in reply to animavit #
@gmsainz No, not familiar with that text either. What do you find so valuable in it, especially given its age? #phdchat in reply to gmsainz #
@Currie Ahh, got it. You know, I tried Hootsuite, but just could not really get it. Seemed complicated and costly. in reply to Currie #
@miss_mcinerney What makes you like it so much more than any of the newer research method texts? #phdchat in reply to miss_mcinerney #
@miss_mcinerney Thanks for this reference; not familiar with it (though know of the author) #phdchat in reply to miss_mcinerney #
@DeeClayton Thanks for this reference; will take a peak at that one as well #phdchat in reply to DeeClayton #
@Eingang That seems to be the consensus, alas. Highly qualified author. #phdchat in reply to Eingang #
@klbz Good point; will take a look see at the TOC #phdchat in reply to klbz #
@Eingang I am doing narrative inquiry, and while I have my main text on that I am looking for some methods texts to help situate it #phdchat in reply to Eingang #
@Eingang Great. Let me know if you have a chance later 🙂 #phdchat in reply to Eingang #
@suifaijohnmak Yes, an area that fascinates me. Too bad not more directly related to work, but perhaps so in the future. in reply to suifaijohnmak #
@DeeClayton Thanks for that vote; these methods folks seem to churn out the titles and hard to buy without fully seeing them first #phdchat in reply to DeeClayton #
Would buy them all, but am trying to focus on temperance and fiscal responsibility with buying books (especially pricy ones) #phdchat #
or finally 'An Introduction to Qualitative Research' by Uwe Flick #phdchat #
or 'Interpreting Qualitative Data: Methods for Analyzing Talk, Text and Interaction' by David Silverman #phdchat #
or 'Doing Qualitative Research: A Comprehensive Guide' by David Silverman #phdchat #
Planning to buy some (more) research methods texts. Any thoughts on Doing Qualitative Research by David Silverman? #phdchat #
@suifaijohnmak Yes, right in my area of thesis research! #phdchat in reply to suifaijohnmak #
If you are working in the area of doctoral supervision see the current issue of Quality Assurance in Education #phdchat http://t.co/ywa4Nlhu #

@jeandanielmtl Excellent! in reply to jeandanielmtl #
@lindathestar Well, if you can locate an exact spot, then perhaps calk? in reply to lindathestar #
@lizith Give 'em a beer and peanuts, and perhaps they will leave you alone! in reply to lizith #
@lindathestar Is there a way to determine where they are coming in? in reply to lindathestar #
@HendraAgustian Yes but some are more homophobic than others. Bachman Santorum and Perry are bigoted toxic candidates. At least 2 are gone in reply to HendraAgustian #
Today is a day for me to work on my thesis chapter one draft. Will have to blog about where I am with it #phdchat #
@ai1sa Ahh, that is the text the cat did not like. Ironic. in reply to ai1sa #
@lindathestar Goodness. Is it any hot weather or based on humidity and the like? in reply to lindathestar #
@ASBO_Allstar That's a challenge showing our richness of identity in a single place while some readers are only interested in certain parts in reply to ASBO_Allstar #
@ai1sa I found the APA blog and their taking of questions to be excellent #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
@ai1sa I love getting books in the mail. Reminds me that I need to order some more methods texts today #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
@lindathestar Goodness, sounds horrible. Why are they there? in reply to lindathestar #
@1080Group Wish I could be there! in reply to 1080Group #
@TeoBishop What are you knitting? in reply to TeoBishop #
I have been using #YoruFukurou as my Twitter app for 3 weeks now and love it. I just wish they had tech support or answer Tweets. #
@Currie What happened to it? BTW, why do you archive hash tags? in reply to Currie #
I wonder how many people remember that Mitt Romney's Mormon Church is vehemently anti-gay. #
@LancasterUni Thank you. Great idea to have this, especially for we postgraduates who are not on campus. in reply to LancasterUni #
Hurray for Lara! #FourWeddings #TLC #
@MizzPriss1 Love Lara (and I work with her). #FourWeddings #TLC in reply to MizzPriss1 #
I have never been so interested in watching weddings before. #FourWeddings #TLC #
Watching #FourWeddings on #TLC Tonight my colleague Lara is on it. Go, Lara!! #
@ai1sa Did you get a reply from APA? #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
@ASBO_Allstar Look forward to reading about it #phdchat in reply to ASBO_Allstar #
What a long week; need to take it easy this evening. #

Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2012-02-04

@GdnHigherEd @lizgloyn @HendraAgustian Ahh; thanks. I have heard of #HElivechat though have somehow always missed it. in reply to GdnHigherEd #
@lizgloyn Thank you! in reply to lizgloyn #
What is #HElivechat #
@HendraAgustian How is all that where you are now? in reply to HendraAgustian #
@andycoverdale Ahh; thanks for it! in reply to andycoverdale #
@lynntrinko Thank you! I have been stretching them out a bit, though perhaps too much . . . in reply to lynntrinko #
@netcrit Think of it as getting the bad out of the way for 2012. Feel better. in reply to netcrit #
@lizith All the best with it! #phdchat in reply to lizith #
@LancasterUni Great new list! How about one for us postgraduates? #Lancs in reply to LancasterUni #
@ai1sa "Clarifying" it reminds me of some thesis advice I was given once; write for readers. Please remind me of this at times! #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
@andycoverdale I saw a reference for this; have you seen it? in reply to andycoverdale #
@thesiswhisperer Thanks; will take a look for it. Not sure how I missed it! in reply to thesiswhisperer #
@ai1sa Callon uses such descriptive language when talking about the various uncertainties as he left the telling of the story #phdchat #ANT in reply to ai1sa #
@ai1sa This reminds me of the Concluding Remarks section of Callon's St Brieuc Bay chapter I just read #phdchat #ANT in reply to ai1sa #
@ai1sa That is nicely stated, expanded possibilities. Allows for them to see potential next steps, or sidestep future problems. #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
@stealthpooch Nicely stated; thanks! #phdchat in reply to stealthpooch #
@thesiswhisperer Yes, #ANT surrounds the learning event, ehh? #phdchat in reply to thesiswhisperer #
@ai1sa Agreed, though the trick may be to explain the implications to those who let you study them #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
What, no takers? Is there a universally recognized grouping of doctoral thesis / doctoral dissertation chapter sections? #phdchat #
@dayangnas You are far from being alone and lonely in the #phd journey. Welcome aboard! #phdchat in reply to dayangnas #
@ai1sa Excellent! in reply to ai1sa #
@ai1sa Thanks; at this rate I will take any skills I can get! #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
@ai1sa Alas, I am better at asking questions than answering them #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
@ai1sa I can only hope the 8 hours are well-spent #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #

Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2012-02-03

Is there such a thing as a universal list of doctoral thesis / doctoral dissertation chapter numbers / sections? #phdchat #phd #
TIme to start a little bit of writing. Finally. #phdchat #
Headed to the library at #PaceU to return John Law's Power, Action and Belief. Great #ANT resource #phdchat #
@bronwynah I suppose the challenge is to try to remember to do a self-assessment. in reply to bronwynah #
@bronwynah Yes, when I get in the zone in the office, I won't move for hours. Not good. in reply to bronwynah #
@ai1sa Ouch, what a painful review #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
@bronwynah Did you follow the directions? in reply to bronwynah #
Preoccupied with my thesis & travel so a bit removed from #change11 Glad @JaapSoft posted about Teacher roles and MOOC http://t.co/Afxjw5Zs #
@christiepooh Indeed; I am not getting much writing or anything else done. in reply to christiepooh #
Think I am still fighting jet lag; I have absolutely no energy with little focus. #
