Recycling old posts! Why didn’t I think of it before?!
This blog passed its 3rd birthday early in the summer and I didn’t really notice. Tsk. Anyway, I’ve written about 1400 posts in that time, and some of them were quite good. So I’ll re-post a few over the next week or so [requests taken] while I get on with my holiday and important stuff like:
* Watching Twenty20 cricket (for free on the internet, thanks to P2P). Just don’t mention England.
* Oh, and the Rugby World Cup (christ, ITV’s coverage is crap). Good to see the northern hemisphere doing so well, right? Har har bloody har.
* Watching DVDS: Angel (yay)! Farscape (extra yay, cos’ I didn’t pay anything for it!).
* Heroes on BBC2. Awesome.
* Oh yeah, dealing with the final stages of editing the book manuscript. There is an ominous email in my inbox right now whose title mentions the word ‘index’. I haven’t had the courage to open it yet.

Congratulations on passing another milestone — I’m sure that a lot of blogs don’t make it this far. Over the past few years I’ve discovered a few personal favourites in your archives. In particular, many of the items in the PostgradHelp category have come in handy. The posts on doing a PhD in history, funding postgraduate study and research in history, and grantsmanship certainly made deciding to continue with history and (consequently) writing an ESRC proposal a much less bewildering experience. Your series on arson in eighteenth-century London was pretty good too!
Thanks, Matt - glad I could be of help!
