Done!

November 25th, 2005

Damn I feel good. It’s finally done. I worked 16,5 hours yesterday on it and over 12 hours each day for the last two weeks. It’s been tough and challenging at times, but very rewarding at the end.

And I finally came up with a decent title for my thesis;

“Creating awareness in mass markets ‚Äì Experiences from small and medium sized companies”

I’m gonna take that pile of paper to the city to be bound. After that, probably some good food and a well deserved beer.

I think it’s a pretty good way to start the weekend.

ps. I’m gonna put up a pdf of the thesis later on, once the official graduation ceremony has been held (There are some details that can only be released in December).

    Heh, thanks - but I’m gonna take a pretty long nap right now. Just got back home and trying to get excited of finishing the thesis didn’t work out that well - I’m just too tired. But I’m sure I’ll be a different person in the morning.

    Good night.. :)

    Hei, congrats from a fairly new reader of your blog, too.
    Also good luck with podcasting - from a radio professional point of view - you obliously know your stuff - now you might want to work on conveying the same passion, the enthusiasm in your voice. One can read it in the text in your blog - now you need to find the same sort of “lean forward” dynamic when talking, to really grab a listener’s ear.

    Glad to have found your blog, looking forward to learning more :)

    Wow, Tuija - thanks for the nice words :) I have to give it a try now that I have more time to do podcasts!

    Oh, and thanks for subscribing as well! (You have a new subscriber now as well :-) )

    Congratulations! :-) By the way, we have just finished the Swedish CC licenses, which are sort of based on my thesis. Official release date is 30 November. :-)
