SalStat

Not done much except for cleaning the output - just basic html kind of stuff, though I have also ben boning up on matrix maths ready for an assault on some more advanced statistics - is now the right time to do this, when I am supposed to be finishing off my Ph.D.? But then I remember: there is never a right time for anything, and it actually gives me a welcome break from studying and analysing data. Just something different to take in: after all, there is a saying "a change is as good as a rest".

I'm going to spend the rest of the evening getting to grips with Information Foraging by Pirolli and Card again. I really need to know it at a low level before I begin to write about it in my thesis.

Life

I wonder if my Uni webmail is borked somehow? I sent my supervisor an email on Thursday (he was checking up on my progress, so I responded after a busy week last week), but he hasn't replied. He must have been out of the office.

All else is good for the moment, though I had a refusal for another HCI job. I was actually surprised to get a reply, as so many job applications for on the web result in no contact whatsoever.

Work seems hard to come by at the moment...
