Might as well – 6Mb PDF. Enjoy…

Viva passed. All good. No time to celebrate though, as I’m off to Manchester tomorrow on business. Oh well. Celebration deferred until Stuart finally finishes his :-)

All done. Submitted today. No more writing. My life feels suddenly empty again. (Except, of course, for trying to find somewhere to live when I start my new job, woo!)

I’m currently explaining why the the calculations which we have done may not be particularly accurate; one factor is that we haven’t modelled the solvation energy.

Word auto-corrects solvation to salvation.

It’s thesis time!

About time too.

Final editing early next week, should submit by the end of the week.

And it’s looking positive for a start at the small consultancy company that offered me a job a while back. So all good :)

It’s been some time…

Nearly There…

Just waiting on some final computational results for Chapter 5, and then it’ll be done.

Writing about: http://www.scottberkun.com/essays/essay51.htm

There isn’t a single great work in the history of civilization, no novel, symphony, film, or song that was completed as a 1/5th time-slice between e-mail, IM, cellphones and television.

Well put, and so true. I know that when I want to really get on with the thesis, I quit the browsers, Set my messengers to Busy and actually really don’t talk to anyone who ignores that. Some things can be multitasked, most can’t. Or rather, can with a timeslice of > 1 h :-)

So. There’s a proposal to put “traffic lights” on food so the buyer knows how bad things are for them. The supermarkets don’t want it, they’d rather give the numbers rather than any kind of relative rating. (do both?) So here’s a similar thing for my thesis.

Again, if you’re looking at this other than on my blog, it’s not going to make sense :-)

Estimated Submission Date: 31 March

This depends somewhat on getting some final data from an industrial collaborator, which is really the only thing causing Ch 5 to be orange rather than yellow.
