  1. Convinced myself to tidy my study before starting today, made a big difference to my concentration not to be working in a dump #phdchat
  2. I just unlocked the "Fixer Upper" badge on @foursquare for checking in at hardware stores! Tool Time! 4sq.com/JSLe8M
  3. I'm at East Perth Dental (East Perth, WA) 4sq.com/JenC98
  4. Ah buses, wait 10 minutes for one and three arrive together...
  5. I just became the mayor of J & T Buzza men's store on @foursquare! 4sq.com/KSdmIy

  13. @DeborahALock I am actually being surveyed by QSR on Wed on my experiences with the software, should be interesting
  14. @DeborahALock I am finding the software generally OK, still room to improve but mostly does what I need. Mine is all text, just lots of it
  15. @DeborahALock I think your 25 audio files could be the problem but then depends on their size, small could be OK large less so
  16. Seem to have a different approach from our bus driver today, raced from atop to stop and now waiting at one while his schedule catches up
  17. @DeborahALock good luck, is there anything special about your database? Lots of audio or video files etc that could make it unstable?
  18. @DeborahALock you could try emailing the QSR guy's for suggestions, they are pretty helpful and will be at work in a few hours
  19. Ah, coffee, I will need lots of you today (@ Tartine Cafe Westralia Square) 4sq.com/IO8Jfp
  20. Feels strange being back on the Perth bus after 3 weeks away, nice that they have washed it for me though, inside as well from the wet seats
