Thesis-o-meter
Since Mar 11, 2009, I am officially in thesis writing mode. The plan is to have the thesis writen by end June 2009. I usually find peer pressure to be very effective for keeping me motivated when I work on not too engaging stuff. I ‘ve put together this page to monitor my progress towards the tight deadline.
Feel free to drop me a line to encourage my progress or critisize the lack of it!
Update Jul 2009: I ‘ve succesfully defended my PhD thesis. The Thesis-o-meter is over!
The thesis-o-meter is not
not
my invention;
several
other
researchers
have tried this before and
this letter
explains why and how the Thesis-o-meter works.
However, my Thesis-o-meter was the first to use the Google Chart API instead of gnuplot to draw the plots. I guess I can call it the first Web 2.0 Thesis-o-meter :-)
