Research Data Management

One of the classes that I attended was on Research Data Management.
I thought it was useful.
The important message here is you to create an inventory of your files.
You also need to write a protocol on how you keep your things... so that others know your system.

Google Reader

One of the Phd students I met during one of the upskill classes advised me to set up my own google reader. Its one of those tools that helps you to organize your reading materials. First, I need to know how to use it.

My Gantt chart (2)

My Gantt chart version 1 is now done.
Took me almost the whole day.
Learning to use the software...
and also how to export the file so that I can show my supervisors.
I used GanttProject software installed from the website.

The files can exported to Jpeg, pdf.
In case anything happens to the software,
I have exported the file to:
GanttchartTuti_v1.pdf
GanttchartTuti_v1a.jpeg
GanttchartTuti_v1b.jpeg
GanttchartTuti_v1c.jpeg
(Phd Melbourne > Summary of meetings > Gantt chart)
The files are about the same, I was trying to fit in everything in one jpeg file.

Next task: email to supervisors, Gantt chart needs touching up.

My Gantt chart

My task for today is creating a Gantt chart.
You can create gantt charts by using the usual office softwares: word & excel.
There are also specific softwares online, but make sure you install JAVA first.

Hmmm... I thought this was easy...
But you do need a bit of time...

As a start

Finally I managed to create my Phd blog.
Congratulations to myself.
Good start.

I enrolled about 2 months ago 22/3/09.
First month was mainly about settling in.
Second month, still settling in plus homesick.
Lonely... really felt lonely... missing my family.
