This may or may not work… I’m hoping it does.

Viva Roma
I’m in Rome for the better part of the next week, so I shall be without the internet. Photos to come.
New blog
I have started a history blog here, where I will write about my research and other history-related things. Tiny Planet will be more news, current events, and personal commentary.
Revamp
Dear all,
This blog theme looks to be becoming increasingly awkward, so I plan to move to a simpler, cleaner look in the near future. I am also in the process of setting up a blog more focussed on my research; I am taking a course in digital skills (hello Dr Murphy) and will try to put these to good use.
Le meas,
David
Making progress
After a morning spent in the sun, I’ve just finished reading through what I laughably call the first draft of my thesis; it’s not so much a draft as the prototype of one. Either way, it’s 15,000 words that at times seem out of sequence and in need of reworking.
Thankfully, I’ve more or less made my arguments and most of what is left to do is structural and cosmetic. With one book awaiting me at the library and a few articles in the bag next to me, I should be well on my way to having this thing done and dusted in a few weeks. If I can hit the magical 20,000-word mark by the end of June I’ll be a rather happy camper, because the psychological pressure will be broken and I can get on with fine-tuning rather than fleshing out.
Facebook revamp
My first reaction to the changes on Facebook? Complete botch job. If I only wanted a list of status updates I’d stick with Twitter. I’d publish a screenshot but it would be far too intrusive to the privacy of my FB friends.
