I have redesigned my website, and will be rolling out the changes to each page over a period of weeks.

The first page up is rhizobial taxonomy.

Let me know if there are any problems.

Passed PhD Oral Exam

I had my PhD Oral exam on the 14th of September, it certainly wasn't easy, but I passed, and now just have some minor corrections to do before I can do the final printing and handing the copies to the library.

Engaged !

After three years, I proposed and now we are engaged. No date yet for the wedding. It has been a year of changes for me.

 

Site moved

It looks like my site has moved successfully to the new servers. Tell me if something is broken.

New Host for website

I am moving my website to a new host. Expect the site to be down for a bit and e-mail to be down too.

Handing in thesis

Well finally it is done. Today my thesis is at the binder, and tomorrow I have an appointment to submit.

It has taken a long time (4 years, two months) but that is fairly standard I suppose. I am just glad to get it in.

So celebration, then time to look for post-docs.
