Busy, busy, busy

It has been a week and a half since my last post! The reason for this is that I have been flat out preparing a paper for a conference :) It's not done yet (it needs to be submitted by the 18th), but things are nearly under control.

The lesson I need to learn from this it that I need to write the paper (or at least do the research) before I submit the abstract, and not just submit my idea for a project. I guess I didn't really think it would be accepted. I've never submitted an abstract before. The problem with doing the paper first is finding the time/motivation to do the work without knowing that they will be accepted anywhere. And as I work in the Private Sector, time and motivation are very precious resources.

I hope to be back to at least weekly posts after next week, so please keep watching this space!
