My thesis is nearly finished. Up to 127 pages, now. And it's just become an official Human-Computer Interaction thesis, because I just included a reference to Fitts' Law. Everyone doing HCI cites Fitts. Not everyone cites him with the full journal name, volume, number, page numbers, year and month, though. I had to pull apart several other people's citations and visit the APA website to get all that, though. For extra cool points, I've also cited an appropriate paper from 1897. 1897 - in a Computer Science thesis. Hah!

I'm starting to make typos though, so I think it's probably time for at least a nap now.

On my to-do list currently is:
- Track down some more food, just in case my body feels like misbehaving after all this Think
- Find a pretty/clear way of presenting preference rankings (i.e. rank these four things from 1-4)
- Transcribe an A4 summary page of questionnaire observations
- Take a couple of photos, and make some pretty pictures
- Make sure I have properly explained... no, there is too much. Make sure I have summed up everything succinctly in my conclusion.

...and then I'll have a finished thesis. Draft. That I can spend a couple of days proofreading.
And then print! And submit! Yay!

Good on you! If you need any outside proof-reading (mostly on a grammatical level, though it's nice to actually proofread something in what is technically my area), let me know, or just email it duckgirl@kallisti.net.nz.

I think I cited Bell (1986), Bell, Cleary and Witten (1989) and Lempel and Ziv (1978) in mine.

Okay, okay, that was just a little bit of 6am hyperbole :-)

At 6 am, everything is hyperbole.

REST!

Don't make me come over there.

Seriously, take regular rest breaks please hon. I hate seeing you all wacked out.

Will be going home to sleep after I've had a meeting with my supervisor.
