@RuthFT @aeratcliffe @marmitebot and indeed the plate . . . in reply to RuthFT #
@RuthFT @aeratcliffe @marmitebot BTW, olives and coffee are somewhat natural . . . in reply to RuthFT #
@RuthFT @aeratcliffe @marmitebot But everybody likes olives and coffee. Maybe not together, but you get the idea. in reply to RuthFT #
@ai1sa No, our independence was too tough to ever go back under that tyranny. We have enough marketing hocking all sorts of our own crap in reply to ai1sa #
@aeratcliffe @merry30 Perhaps she spikes it with something edible while you are not looking? in reply to aeratcliffe #
@RuthFT @aeratcliffe @marmitebot Yuck, I now have that taste in my mouth just by thinking about it. Nothing like the power of suggestion. in reply to RuthFT #
@aeratcliffe @marmitebot AND you actually fell for that American-style marketing?!?! in reply to aeratcliffe #
@BronSt A very long and still windy tunnel indeed, but there is a glimmer down there. Thanks for the positive energy. in reply to BronSt #
@lizith @LBA_OX12 Call it what you will, but good for you! #phdchat in reply to lizith #
@aeratcliffe Good gods, people actually eat Marmite willingly? in reply to aeratcliffe #
@HendraAgustian Now how did that happen?! in reply to HendraAgustian #
Yes, I listen to a lot of somewhat loud music while I work on my research; keeps me energetic and focused #phdchat #
I just heard one of the best remixes I have heard in some time: Coldplay's Charlie Brown (David Aude Remix). Fantastic. #
I like the idea of #Occupy Wall St #ows but am not sure if they accomplished anything tangible. What does getting arrested today benefit? #
@debbiefuco I suppose we all have different assumptions that in turn prevent us from discussing them. in reply to debbiefuco #
@bauskas Sounds like an interesting option. Truly, more interesting stuff happening than we have time to read or follow or process in reply to bauskas #
@lizith @LizBennett1 @EmmaBurnettx I have never found Excel templates that dynamically build GANTTs, have you? #phdchat in reply to lizith #
@EmmaBurnettx I use MS Project on a pc and Merlin on a Mac. They are both a bit much for simple GANTTs, but I do project management #phdchat in reply to EmmaBurnettx #
@gconole I fly into Brussels early Sunday morning, so will take a train directly to Maastricht. Hope to arrive around noon and explore a bit in reply to gconole #
@gconole 😉 When are you there? in reply to gconole #
@bauskas Did you learn any useful suggestions about this that you can share? #phdchat #plm in reply to bauskas #
@gconole Will certainly look forward to it. #nlc2012 will be a rather short conference, so best to make the most of it!! in reply to gconole #
@gconole Will see you in a couple weeks at #nlc2012 in reply to gconole #
@gconole Yes, I have to finish this thing this year, regardless of anything else that is done. in reply to gconole #
@PleagleTrainer Which app? #phdchat in reply to PleagleTrainer #
@beckyheaver Sorry to hear that; life gets in the way on both ends, it seems #phdchat in reply to beckyheaver #
@lindathestar I wonder about these things, in that are they new or did I just miss them before?!?! in reply to lindathestar #
@gconole Indeed; not used to spending hours at a time writing. I get distracted easily though may have finally found a focus helper #phdchat in reply to gconole #
@bron2042 @ai1sa I wonder if there is anything we can do about this timing issue for folks newer at this? #phdchat in reply to bron2042 #
@ai1sa That seems right, though I keep fixing anything I see along the way #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
@ai1sa That is a great way to finish; it is never good enough but I cannot bear it any more! #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
Goodness, I spent all my energy writing my thesis yesterday that I neglected Twitter, and on a WEEKEND as well! #
@kiwicito So sorry to hear; perhaps you will be even more assured that numbers generally do not relate to real life #phdchat in reply to kiwicito #
@debbiefuco @Comprof1 @ai1sa Do you find things take longer on their own or it was initial unrealistic expectations? #phdchat in reply to debbiefuco #
@ai1sa I agree with you completely, everything with research undoubtedly takes longer than expected #phdchat in reply to ai1sa #
@daciatakesnote @klbz @savasavasava My work is progressing pretty well in the past 2 weeks. Incentive was I present my work in progress Wed in reply to daciatakesnote #
@daciatakesnote @klbz @savasavasava Having a full draft the week before you leave sounds like a great goal! in reply to daciatakesnote #
@lindathestar Wow, has that always been the case? in reply to lindathestar #
