I'd just like to mention....

I HAVE COMPLETED MY PhD!

Of course, there is some small print....


With writing up section 4-2 under the title of "A Network of Isocratic Republics", I have completed my PhD. Note this is not the finished version. The spell checking hasn't been done, the referencing is all over the shop and I'm sure my supervisors will tell me to refer to additonal material (despite the fact it's overlength already), but it's a complete document.

Here's to a future political and economic system which operates on a highly decentralized confederate network of autonomous actors bound by trust relationships and freely distributable and open source knowledge.

Just like something we already know and love....



I do have other news - in fact, it's been an extraordinary past several days, but champagne beckons....

Well done! I know just how you feel.

[tcpip.livejournal.com]

Thank you!... It's actually quite surprising how many PhD students/graduates are on this list, so the feeling with be shared ... and those who don't have one or aren't getting one are invariably clever enough _to_ get one...

[lederhosen.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! Let's hope your examiners are faster than mine were :-)

[tcpip.livejournal.com]

I don't mind actually, let them take their time... At the moment I'm just happy enough to have a complete document...

Well done, that man

Any time after the 18th mon frere... I'm off to New Zealand for several days to walk through mountains and drink vodka...

You know, your kittie collection of graphics is truly remarkable... Thanks a lot!

[pinque.livejournal.com]

Woo! Congratulations!

heh, yeah raise a glass to the state of the world, and your completed PhD.

And on to the editing and proof reads to get the final version:)

[tcpip.livejournal.com]

Well, thanks to caseopaya, most of the editing and spelling has been done already (she's damn good at that - brilliant in fact)...

Let's see what my supervisors say...

[kehua.livejournal.com]

That's really marvellous - congratulations!

On a semi-related note, we'll be in Melbourne in a fortnight - perhaps we could catch up and drink champers?

[tcpip.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a marvellous idea! You have my number/email?

Hey, you get a "thank you" note in the preface, you know...

[frou-frou.livejournal.com]

congrats Lev! on the thesis and the other news (whatever that might be)

[tcpip.livejournal.com]

Thanks mon esquirriel... The other news will be posted in a couple of days... It's pretty interesting too, but I thought I'd get this one out of the way!

Yay for you!!!

[bodgirl.livejournal.com]

That is soooo cool :)

I do believe I saw mention that you will be in the BrisVegas area at some stage in the future, so when you are here I shall take you out for celebratory drink then :)

w00t!! w00t!!

Feesch

Re: Yay for you!!!

[tcpip.livejournal.com]

By the time I get to BrisVegas (iirc, it's early August), I should be in a more finished rather than just complete version, so yes, party-time then!

[misshavisham.livejournal.com]

Fantastic about the PhD. Congratulations indeed.

And as for the other news... I look forward to hearing about it, but go enjoy your bubbly for now.

Well done!

[tabouli.livejournal.com]

Oooh, how well I know the pain of PhD. To get to the end of one is a true accomplishment. Congratulations!

[missmalice.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!! :D

And I look forward to reading about the exciting news after you have celebrated and returned to lj-land ;)

[redcountess]

Congratulations! :-)

[reddragdiva]

At Fucking Last!

*pint*

[tcpip.livejournal.com]

Yes, well, it did take a while didn't it? Part-time study, full-time work, a couple of years off, six different countries and a decade later...

Phew!

BTW, love the icon. Very Devo.

[nvcarnie.livejournal.com]

w00t!

Good job!!!! We're both celebrating this week!

[tcpip.livejournal.com]

More power to the heresy! ;-)

[pr0zak.livejournal.com]

Yay! Well done :D

What an amazing life you are living!

Awww, stop it you!

But seriously.... It does often feel like I'm a maddening roller coaster and every moment just gets more exciting and better - even the dangerous parts!

[bonne-vivant.livejournal.com]

Congrats!

When do you hand in? Hope your examiners aren't too painful.

[tcpip.livejournal.com]

Don't know yet, I'm meeting with my supervisors once I get back from NZ to get the low down on those administrative issues...

The examiners better damn well like it. My brain feels full!

[shocko.livejournal.com]

Well done. Good to welcome another bouncing baby doctorate into the world.

[tcpip.livejournal.com]

I must admit when I was walking around St Kilda yesterday I was terrified of its possible implications...

Just like any other bouncing baby doctorate, I suppose...

[greenglowgrrl.livejournal.com]

Wish I could decorate my congratulations with champagne-pickled kitties like Catbiscuit. Please imagine drunken fan-dancing absinthe fairies affixed to this post.

Please imagine drunken fan-dancing absinthe fairies affixed to this post.

Thanks for the image!... Ahhh, absinthe... Bitter to taste, sweet to the mind..
