Is that why about 3 million sheffield people have been invited to join? Why would our friends want to join though? None of mine are postgrads apart from DanB.

Go for the Toshiba, it will last you. I had a Toshiba all the way through my PhD.

I don't really see writing papers before the THESIS (lol) as very efficient. I found that my thesis chapters are a lot more detailed. It's easier to go from detailed to less detailed rather than the other way around.

Definitely listen to Lara, she speaks from experience!

You could always open a googlemail account and email the important documents to yourself. That way you can have access to them anywhere (and it's free).

Quote From bonzo:

Imagine if you will, the setting is CERN, Switzerland/France (location depending on whether its a success or huge failure). They are just about to bring the two particle beams together when ... "Illegal Operation: Your PC requires a restart. All applications will be closed" pops up on the screen of the main controller ... now that would be funny!


It'd be even funnier if at that moment Vista was to display one of its "catastrophic error" screens. For once, it might be very apt!


I would be shocked to find out that they used Windows at all let alone vista :-o

CERN experiment - how exciting is it?
H

I'm finding the whole thing exciting. I really don't think they will find the "God Particle" but it should give some interesting results anyway!

I'm more of a chemist but it's good stuff!

Doing a PhD, does it make you ugly?
H

You've gotta do what you've gotta do (and then deal with the consequences!)

Tips List
H

You didn't say what field you are in, if it's pure science, make sure you keep an accurate lab book because trying to remember things you did 3 years is a killer!

Lit review - ideal is to do this before you start and keep adding to it everytime you find a new reference or come across a different topic.

You will have to modify this for your thesis but it does help if most of it is already there.
