On the Bottom Half

Skype and format notes...

Just a quick one 'cause it's late: anyone on Skype? For those of you unfamiliar with it, Skype is a way of voice calling over the internet for free (if you have a microphone for your computer). I just started using it a little because my brother is in Mexico and he uses it from there. Works a treat.

If you sign up or already use it, my Skype ID is my: first name.last name. Hope we can connect.


I'm hopefully starting and seeing to completion a bit of an overhaul in the design of my blog. I know it's nothing special anyway, but it might be time for a bit of an update. It remains to be seen how far this update gets, but I've started by cleaning up the 'Blogs I Watch' section because most of the blogs haven't been updated for several months, verging on a year. I'll continue to check them once in a while for renewed life, but many of their owners have ported permanently to Facebook, so I'll only re-link to them if they do become active again.

If there are any suggestions that you'd like to see or things you'd like me to stop doing (besides writing about nothing at all, I'm getting rather good at that), please pass on a comment or e-mail.


Also, I've thought of a few Jeff Foxworthy-like jokes about academics, here's the first couple:

If you use or have ever used the word 'constrained' in a sentence and in context, you might be an academic.

If you routinely use the phrase, or have the phrase applied to you, 'in the real world' and it doesn't mean your job, you might be an academic.
