This is a little whiny, which I’ll apologise for at the outset.
It’s some time since I’ve posted here with much regularity. A spate of deaths among family friends, the end of a romance I tried to save before concluding it was impossible, a substantial investment of time helping out a friend who was having a harder time of things than me, and a few other significant complications, have been my lot of late. That hasn’t left much room for blogging.
Now, I’m finally turning my attention back to my academic future. Much as I love my current job, my (almost) three year contract finishes in December, and besides, I’ve a research project I’ve been itching to get off the ground and I need to find somewhere that’ll let me do that. Most likely, this will be a university department in the informatics field, but I suppose it could potentially be a forward thinking company. If you know of any funded PhD positions or jobs being advertised that would provide scope for researching, experimenting with and publishing on semantic annotation and the authority of information, please drop me a line.
As for the blog, I’ve drafted several new posts over the last few months, none of which are ready for publication yet. I’ll polish them up and post them if allows.
Definitely check out the Berkman Center for Internet and Society, here at the Other Cambridge (it’s a part of Harvard).
