Week 1


NYE 2011 at Hotel Arena Trying to start a new tradition. Let’s see where I end up.

New Years Eve - third year going to Loveland – very close to our place, which is convenient. This time, however, the music quality started to make me wonder if the focus on convenience hasn’t been exaggerated this time.

Research – the thesis proposal, aligned with a final paper I need to deliver on research designs is going well although yet unfinished. The topic will definitely be diffusion of information on social network sites, which opens a great door to sharpen (or rather develop from scratch?) my skills on data mining and data analysis. Definitely more to come on that.

And…

  • Started the year with some level of house cleanup – not yet at the level I want. But several things are (or have been) donated. Declutterization process started!
  • Amazed by the utility of Zotero, particularly when combined to Chrome and WebDAV backup. Definitely a keeper, and more stable than Mendeley (let’s of course not even mention EndNote)
  • Agenda for January is defined. Even with pt days the rhythm will be intense. Let’s hope for the best.
