I'm now over at #bluesky too @matt-thompson.bsky.social

I will be leaving all mainstream social media, only using decentralised versions.

I took a short break from all socials including Mastodon, but now I am back to share my research and academic milestones over the subsequent few weeks.

Saved my RStudio session from my office PC to an external drive (first mistake) to work remotely. Only to discover all the code from today has not been saved to the drive. I'm hoping the local image is still on R Studio tomorrow.

Year 1 #IPAP couldn't have gone better for the #PhD. Roll on the next year of #research in pursuit of the distant #doctoral degree.

Another milestone achieved. Another 2,000,000 (seemingly) to go.

Productive day today, handed in my first literature review draft to my supervisor and lead a lab meeting technical demonstration discussing AI research tools and Overleaf LaTeX. As well as discussed the data for the first of my PhD research too. Looking forward to the next few years for sure at Liverpool.

#Dog lovers of #Mastodon and #behaviourists, could you show my partners #business some love with a like and share. She is a current Clinical Canine Behaviour student and is trying her best to extend the scientific knowledge of canine behaviour to others.

Had a very productive morning until I returned to the PC to find an update that had triggered and now 6 hours later, only 65%... had to boot up the #Linux machine #windows #windows11 #struggles

Hello fellow Masto's. Please be weary of who may follow you, I have reported this account. I suspect this is #Russian #propaganda due to the domain and the use of UA in the domain.

My account is not a political space, although I do not accept any country invading another.

Be diligent and block, #report and remove any form of #hate, particularly if it adds no value to your community... I know it isn't for the geospatial communities.

Stay safe in the online media space!

Morning fellow tooters! Do any users of #TeXLaTeX, specifically #Overleaf, know the favicon code for #Mastodon?

It seemingly does not work via the \fa code as a new command? Even using the #fontawesome package, it does not show.

I have not posted on Mastodon for a few weeks due to #PhD commitments. How well has #PhDLife been going for others? For me, I'm steadily progressing with my literature review and enjoying the PhD process at this stage.
