Letter from America - Part XVII, The Holy War: Boston College vs University of Notre Dame

2009-11-01T22:57:08Z

Hi everyone,
We should be back on track now in terms of sending an e-mail a week
(touch wood) as hopefully this will be in your inbox on Monday
morning. I'm sure I've got daylight savings wrong which means this
is an hour late - at least, because I've been fighting with uploading
photos.

Letter from America - Part XVI - Letter from Brazil, Part II

2009-10-24T19:53:00Z

Hi everyone,
This week is the continuation of last weeks
Letter from Brazil. Hopefully all of the photos
are visible now.

I spent most of my week with native English
speakers. Particularly, there was Dick Weiss,
mentioned in the previous e-mail, my postdoc
supervisor Tony Kirby, Bradley Williams (from

Letter from America - Part XV, Letter from Brazil, Part I

2009-10-22T00:48:00Z

Hi everyone,
It possibly should be referred to as 'Letter from Brazil' as this and
likely the next missive are going to be focused on my trip to Brazil.
But for consistency, LfA it is.
Jason

My trip to Brazil represented nearly the end of a a very, very busy
time for me. In many ways it was a bit of a break from the busy-ness

Letter from America - Part XIV, New York, NY (so good, they named it twice)

2009-10-19T10:32:00Z

Hi everyone,
Sorry for the delay in the LfAs - being in Brazil without e-mail
access does this to you. But with this up to date and some
meanderings on Brazil done, hopefully I'll be back on track by the
end of the week.
Jason

In Letter from America this week, it's all about a trip to New York

Letter from America - Part XIII, Some academic stuff and the US Postal Service

2009-10-10T15:36:27Z

Hi everyone,
Apologies for the delay in LfA XIII - as will be seen when I finally
catch up, things have been really rather busy here for the last
little while. I'm going to aim to write LfA XIV (which will focus
mostly on last weekend) before I leave for Brazil today but I don't
know if I'll get it done (or when it will reach you due to unknown

Letter from America - Part XII, A busy week

2009-09-28T03:50:04Z

Hi everyone,
It was going to be another themed week but I find it's Sunday night
(and well past the time that I normally write these e-mails) and I've
only just gotten onto this. Sadly, I think this might be the pattern
in the next month as this is the last weekend I'm in Boston until the
end of November. So this week is going to be further accounts of

Letter from America - Part XI, Undergrads and College Pride

2009-09-21T05:55:00Z

Hi everyone,
This week has been soooo busy that I'm likely to be relatively short.
Everything going well but just a lot of stuff to do.
Jason

This week was very busy as a whole pile of things come to a head.
First of all, the equipment that I need to function here at BC has
now come online - yes, I have temperature control on the NMR

Letter from America - Part X, Football

2009-09-14T18:38:16Z

Hi everyone,
Right, we're back on track again with topics, in this weeks LfA
(not, as someone pointed out, based on the Proclaimers song of the
same name) as we focus on students coming back and all that it
means.
Jason
___
So this week I promised Football, and that is what you're going
to get. The weekend ten days ago was the opening of the college

Connection Problems

2009-09-14T18:38:07Z

Hi all,
I seem to be having internet connection problems. Hopefully when you
get this from me, you'll also get any message backlog you were
expecting.

Letter from America - Part IX, Why I think I'm settled in Boston

2009-09-08T11:12:13Z

Hi all,
This week we're back to hopefully more of a theme than last week.
Sorry about the delay too, I blame the Labo(u)r Day weekend (more on
that next week).
Jason
____
Several people have asked me if I've managed to settle into being in
Boston. I really think the answer to that is yes, mostly because

Delay to this week's installment ...

2009-09-06T15:57:08Z

... because it's the labour day weekend. Or should that be labor day
weekend. Bottom line is that this week's installment will be a
little late. Tomorrow hopefully.

Letter from America - Part VIII, Back in Boston

2009-08-30T22:40:00Z

Hey all,
This weeks LfA is likely to be a little shorter than some previously,
not least because it's been a rather hectic week coming back after
the ACS meeting. Also, it's more a series of events this week rather
than a particular theme. Hopefully we'll be back on the themes next
week.

Right, issues with Harper Group calendar ...

... seem to be continuing so I'm just going to delete it. In the
long term (when I'm back next year) we'll reinstate it but something
to do with the BC firewall is being screwy.
