Wolverhampton Half Marathon
Claire and I are now well into our training for the Wolverhampton Half Marathon on 5th September. We are collecting sponsorship for Birminghams Children's Hospital. We would be most grateful if any who feel they can donate money to this very worthy cause would do so - our sponsorship page is http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/ClaireandDanJones.

C19 Mage: The Awakening (New WOD I never can remember which is which)
I've been threatening for a while, and have realised that I won't actually get round to doing this until there are some players involved. So this is the call for players. First refusal is to Jacob, he's expressed an interest and won't read this ( Read more... ) -
Godiva Festival
The festival line up this year is pretty awesome, Ash are headlining and Badly Drawn Boy are supporting. Plus it's free, which is a good price.

Thesis
Any volunteers to proof-read my thesis?

My second paper, entitled "A Rapid Method to Predict the Injection Rate in Dye Sensitized Solar Cells." Was accepted for publication today.

Much Better news
I have an interview next week at Daresbury Laboratory. I didn't expect that much from the application, the position was only somewhat related to the work I've done so far. I have quite a lot of scouting out what they're looking for and reading their papers to add to my seemingly endless task list ( Read more... )
