Do any of you do 5 year plans etc? are you violently opposed or could you care less?

I’m thinking about making a list of what I would like to:

a) have done

b) be doing

c) become

In 5 years and 10 years.

What do you think? have any of you done this kind of thing? good or bad idea? right/wrong questions?

Easier Bibliographies

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

I particuarly hate spending time formatting references in essays and inputting titles/publishers/authors etc. I’ve found that Zotero is really useful and for MTC peeps you can load it up with the SBL style.

Biggest plus for me (over endnote) is that it runs in firefox so as you browse the library catalogue or EBSCO you can click a button in the address bar to add books straight into your referenced items. Sweet! There is a plugin for word and OpenOffice too.

Check it out: http://www.zotero.org/

SBL Style is in this list: http://www.zotero.org/styles

Kosher meat and Christians – Part 3

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

This is the final post on this topic and I’m not going to go into much detail for a few reasons:

1. My curiosity has largely been satisied by the discoveries made in part 2;

2. I perceive that most of you, my readers, have lost interest (which I certainly can understand!); and

3. To do justice to the NT data would take a great deal of effort and to be honest is probably beyond my capabilities.

On the other hand this series has been getting hits every week from google suggesting it may be helpful to someone, and I don’t like to leave things unfinished…so here goes!

At the moment I’m liking:

  • Orange juice with grenadine…with tequila that’d be tequila sunrise so i guess this is just ‘sunrise’
  • That the greek verbal aspect exam is done
  • Alternativeto.net . find alternatives to programs you like…can be a good way to check if there is a free or cheap alternative.
