Note: graphs are the purest and most compelling form of self-expression.

In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. In the fall of 2005, I began reading for an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford. Outside school, I am very interested in photography, writing, and the outdoors. I am writing this blog to keep in touch with friends and family around the world, provide a more personal view of graduate student life in Oxford, and pass on some lessons I've learned here.

surely, certain programming languages are an even more authentic expression of the human spirit
Which do you have in mind?
half the scope for expression lies in choosing
Other than a tiny bit of PHP, I haven’t really coded anything since my cousin gave me a copy of Turbo Pascal.
On a related note, I miss TextMate, but can’t justify spending 40 Euros on a program that I only use a tiny fraction of the features available in.
how many of the features in Word do you use? of course, there aren’t all that many people who actually buy it
I am in the minority of students with a real copy of Office. The UBC bookstore added it to my iBook order for about $50.
As for the number of features I use, the right answer is probably “as few as possible.” I explicitly avoided including tables and graphs in my thesis, because formatting them in Word is such a pain.
Has your printer problem been sorted now?
Might not be online again til Monday. Good luck.
There are thousands of printers in Oxford. Surely you can find another somewhere.
Good luck! Would you mind if I steal this graph? It fits my life right now.
