Apparently.
Who'd have thunk?

Er.
That would be "inherently". But "injerently" is good too.

How did I know this would be your journal?

I suspected this would be you, Ben.
Let's guess what it means!

I have no idea at all what it means. Which is a shame, because it's from a paper which I am using to justify my methodology. (I really really hope my markers don't find my journal. Which they might. Oh dear.)
Yep, I am back on the internet today Beatrice, 
but I might get Z to take it away tomorrow while I do a first cut of my next chapter.
By the way, did the two of you talk about tweeting

people think that the way innovation is going lies in the reaction of consumers towards new methods and different ways of working.
or something.

Mrs Zen Posted Sep 25, 2011
Nope. I've looked at it again, and I still don't know what it means.
Sol's good at interpreting this sort of stuff.
We seem to believe that the direction that we are going in as we create new ways to do things is part and parcel of how knew ways of knowing things links up with new ways of doing things.
The words are clearer but the sense is still non.
Anyhoo - how are all of you?

Am I? Unfortunately I don't know what 'epistemological commensurability' means Sounds itchy.

I'm trying to ignore my Cold of Filth (courtesy of S) so am sitting on the sofa with a box of tissues on one side and the bin on the other wondering when I'm allowed more lemsip or Calpol.
I'm wondering when S is ever going to get back from work seeing as he was supposed to finish at 10.
Hope the dissertationing is going okay.

Well, wiki says "Scientific theories are described as commensurable if one can compare them to determine which is more accurate; if theories are incommensurable, there is no way in which one can compare them to each other in order to determine which is more accurate."
I always get Epistemology muddled up with Ontology. (*waves to markers*)
Wiki again: Epistemology is the branch of philosophy concerned with the nature and scope (limitations) of knowledge.[1] It addresses the questions:
What is knowledge?
How is knowledge acquired?
How do we know what we know?
So.....
Er..........
No. I'll have to work it out in the morning.
(I am SO hosed if the markers find this.....)

I have certainly ed several times today, quite spectacularly. Although S is now home. He smells of sweat and chicken for a change 
well at least I don't have to feed him.

Caffine. I swear it helps colds. Well, so do lemsip. There's a sort that includes caffine now.
Caffffiiiiinnnnneeeee. Loverly caaaaaffffffffiiiiiinnnnneeee *twitches*

My flatmate is doing a PhD in philosophy - maybe I can ask him to translate?

well I say lemsip, but it's beechams blackcurrant as I can't abide citrus unless it's fresh 
I do however have lucozade. Cherry lucozade nonetheless.
i think it might be early night tonight. I'm in uni at 9 tomorrow morning. I have a lecture on Asymmetries of Brain and Behaviour. might come home for a sleep between that and my 3-5 lecture Is it a bad sign I can't remember what that one is on? Then I need to come back again and shower and change for the Interview.
gah!

Ok. Here goes. Wish me luck:
We seem to believe that the direction that we are going in as we create new ways to do things is part and parcel of how ways of knowing things links up with new ways of doing things.
Ri-i-i-ight.
We are doing things in new ways, and we seem to believe that whether these new ways end up being included [in what ...?] or end up breaking away [from what...?] depends on to what extent the details of new ways of doing things tie in with the [existing?] bigger picture.
Er....
We seem to believe that whether or not the new stuff we do fits in [with something] or breaks away [from something] depends on whether it fits in with the bigger picture.

Yes please Mala
Good luck with the interview Mini. What did you decide on wearing in the end?

people like new things, people like doing things in new ways. people need to see if doing new things in new ways suits the ways in which things were done before.
i think.
