It has been over a week since I last blogged, and I have very little to show for it. I have been reading the OpenOffice manual, and setting up my installation of OpenOffice to look better. I have also learned a few other tricks.
I have also been preparing my figures. I have a number of figures, including some I didn't use in my papers. Thus, I am using these to increase page count, and hopefully make the writing a little easier. They serve as a de-facto outline.
One of my big decisions is the type of referencing to use -- do I do it by last name or by number? I would like to do it by number, but I would also like to write each chapter in a separate file. I know it is possible to put it together in OpenOffice, but I need to figure out how to do it so it actually works.
However, as I look back, I have really accomplished very little the past few days. I have good reasons for part of it (interviews, job search) but bad reasons for most of it (wasting time on the internet). I am trying to get re-focused today. 15 minutes on, 5 minutes off. Hopefully, I will be able to say at the end of today that I did not waste time online, and I was very productive, even though I have a telephone interview later on today.
