Dissertation stuff accomplished today

• Got halfway through inserting bits and pieces from Fanwork as a test case for open source cultural goods into the right chapters on wiki. This article is much longer than I remember. Good, less dissertation text left to write then.


• Began reordering chapter outlines to make the whole thing into more of a coherent story, and make sure it won't be too monumental a task to turn this thing into a book.


• Discovered more layers of thrilling administration that have to be dealt with before I can get a PhD. Whoooo.

The bureaucracy; it burns us.

The worst thing is that it grows. I've read the regulations for obtaining a PhD multiple times a year since I started out, and this stuff is definitely new.

I do think the university's made some strides in making administration feel at least a bit more like it's there to help us, but still.
