http://caramamamia.blogspot.com/2009/05/caramamas-romance-novel-recommendations.html
Life with two elementary school-aged kids is tough! But beautiful shining moments between the times of frustrations make it absolutely worth it! Poems: My Life as Mother. Saturday, May 2, 2009. Caramama's Romance Novel Recommendations. In my post about tips to help get in the "mood,". Classic and contempory poetry, and non-fiction research science novels. I've also read trash, light-hearted beach reads, and books I couldn't even finish because they were so awful in every genre. I know that plenty of peop...

Curious Computer: Privileges
http://curiouscomputer.blogspot.com/2009/04/privileges.html
Saturday, April 25, 2009. There's a privileges meme doing the rounds at the moment ( here. My answers are below, but first a few random thoughts. I believe the point of the exercise is to let yourself see how privileged you are, but what it brought to my mind is how relative the idea of privilege is. I don't mean the "children in Third World countries would love to eat your broccoli" idea, but how my idea of privilege/class changed according to my surroundings. So, over my life from 5 to 23, I have been ...

Curious Computer: Writing
http://curiouscomputer.blogspot.com/2009/05/writing.html
Monday, May 18, 2009. I started making a serious attempt at writing my main background chapter 2 weeks ago. After 2 hours I changed my IM status from writing. To staring at the screen. May 18, 2009 at 4:52 PM. Break your chapters down into smaller, more manageable chunks and make a list of the chunks you want to have written by the end of the day. Give yourself tangible daily writing goals and you'll be surprised how much you actually achieve. May 18, 2009 at 6:15 PM. May 19, 2009 at 9:27 AM. Sometimes m...

Curious Computer: Happy thoughts
http://curiouscomputer.blogspot.com/2009/07/happy-thoughts.html
Wednesday, July 22, 2009. I haven't had time recently to write anything apart from thesis chapters, but I thought I'd take the time to record something that made me very happy today. It's a nice thing when someone read thesis chapters and says, not just "that's good" or "that was well-written", but "I really enjoyed reading that". About a thesis chapter!

Curious Computer: March 2009
http://curiouscomputer.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 30, 2009. How good am I? A question I don't know the answer to. Once I had graduated and moved out in to the real world as a programmer, the feedback was different, but it was still there. Formally, we had annual reviews, less formally, I knew I was doing well because people would seek me out from within the IT group for the newer projects. What makes a good researcher, and how can you tell if you are one? Does just asking this question mean I am probably not one? I'm hoping for the latter.

Curious Computer: Snapshot
http://curiouscomputer.blogspot.com/2009/05/snapshot.html
Friday, May 1, 2009. This month's Scientiae theme is A Snapshot and I have been thinking for the last week what I wanted to write on this theme. What would I want to look back to in years ahead? I played with a few ideas, but then I realised I had already written it a few weeks back. Triggered by the start of the sunny weather). This is the talisman idea that I carry with me, which surfaces naturally when I am struggling and which I hope as the years go on will continue to be true. Now, what was I doing?

Curious Computer: April 2009
http://curiouscomputer.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 30, 2009. Woman in a non-traditional study area. I am a "woman in a non-traditional study area". In fact, I had a scholarship that said so during undergrad. In truth, that scholarship always made me a bit uncomfortable. It was one of a collection that came under the auspices of the Targeted Access Program. But the basic story is that one of the technical presentations (about a database) had a subtitle Perform like a pr0n star. It’s about presenting women as ‘the other,’ ...This to me was ...
