A friendly public service announcement…
Dusk Portage
When I first purchased a domain name for this site I chose alexdefreitas.com. Soon after, I realized that .com is kinda lame for a person/academic and a .net might serve me more appropriately. Anyway, the short story is that until now this site has been accessible from both addresses but as of the end of this week I will be discontinuing the alexdefreitas.com URL. Please make sure you have your feed readers set to the www.alexdefreitas.net or the WordPress domain itself, alexdefreitas.wordpress.com.
Choice. That’s all really. I realize things have been quiet over here lately. I won’t spill my emotions right at this moment, but the task at hand has proved to be challenging. Sure, there are days of inspiration, successful funding applications and future travel/conference plans but I seem to spend 95% of my days hunched over the keyboard in a worried mess….worried that I don’t know what I’m doing. Worried that I haven’t done enough. Worried when I have done something if it is even on the right track. The good news is – I’m sure that any other doctoral students reading this probably feel exactly the same!
With that said. Life is good and a final trip to Toronto/New York City next month will serve to reinvigorate my project and hopefully my productivity. There’s always photographic action over at Imagining The City and Twitter et al. Stay tuned for some new stuff coming at you from my home away from home in Toronto.
My return trip will serve the perfect opportunity to reimmerse myself in all the public Wi-Fi I can get my hands on! I’m looking forward to taking photos, chatting to users (on and offline) and generally making sure I have enough field experience to make writing up this sucker a breeze.
Let me hear you say “you can do it Alex!”.
