Still here
Posted Mar 26, 2003
Third draft, and can I sustain my enthusiasm? Come to that, have I _got_ any enthusiasm left? My colleague got his PhD today and I want mine too.
Time to take a more +ve slant: instead of "I want to stop this", let's try "I want my doctorate." There. I'm all focused and keen now. Ahem.
Life is beyond my control. In every respect. Sigh.

After a hairy few weeks (months, years...), there might just be a light at the end of the tunnel.
Yes, I have crawled to the end of the second draft of the thesis. Now all I've got to do is go through it with the proverbial barnet-taming implement and hand it over to my supervisor. Who will of course pull it to pieces and make me do it again, but hey...
Time to start thinking about getting a job and getting a life, not necessarily in that order.

Thanks to the kind support of Gnomon, Whisky, Ben, Jimster and others, my Guide Entry on The Professionals has been reinstated and I've been cleared of charges of plagiarism. Hooray! 
Everyone's been lovely. I'm a lot happier now, I might start to enjoy my birthday now.

Plagiarism
Posted Feb 6, 2003
They've pinched my entire article! Flaming cheek! 
And there's nothing I can do to prove my innocence. I don't think I'll ever be happy putting any of my writing on the internet ever again.

Not giving up the day job

The first Guide Entry I ever submitted has been deemed plagiarism and removed from the Guide. I'd never even seen the website I was unwittingly copying.
Nice birthday present.
