As possibly you may not know, I am just completing a BA in Management, another undergrad degree* and am doing my thesis on knowledge management - specifically handing over the giant models we build as part of reservoir engineering and which I will be doing myself in a month or two.

So while I’ve been sitting here writing away - questionnaires are done last week and sent to everyone, this week I shall mostly be badgering people to respond (9% resonse rate so far) and starting to book people for interviews. In discussions with Uber on a somewhat related topic I discovered that I have difficulty ingesting information off web pages that arent’ laid out like news-papers anymore - I’m better if its academic papers printed off. Since this is the Green era, I usually use two sheets to the side of A4 so I’m reading A5 and its like microprint.

What was I talking about? Oh yes, so while I’m writing up all the scrawl and scribblings that I have accumulated while actually doing this thing properly - plan, do, document - I’ve stacked up a pile of mp3’s into Winamp so that they can spin and feed the scrobbler on LastFm so that it knows what I like - though frankly since my tastes span from Ash to Iron Maiden and Daft Punk through Juno Reactor out to Kylie (’what taste’ I hear you sarky sods at the back…) - I don’t know if that machine will be able to pick any coherent thread out of it all.

Mostly I’m still writing as part of my empirically tested ’staying up late to sleep through sunday nights’ program. I’ve done a pilot test of this time-lapse portrait notion on which I have blogged previously and come to the conclusion that someone who likes to look at me a lot more than I do is needed for all the photoshop aligning and resizing to make the daily shots line up. I should have seen this coming, I don’t really like seeing myself in mirrors so having to stare at me while I lined up my own eyeline and nostrils was probably foreseeable as not being the path to truth and happiness.

Aanyway, I’ve got a stack of Cadfael books to read - I figure dark ages mysteries are a good analog for society when writing 40Krp… ish… kinda…. oh nevermind.

* Undergrad instead of postgrad MBA or such because I’m a Computational Physicist/Petroleum Engineer by prior training, I knew nothing of these squishy arts things like business and HR and marketing. Also, it was three years, I had three years remaining on station and so why not? When I do an MBA it’ll be a year out to do it properly.
