  1. The methods of renowned novelists: http://bit.ly/3hdx4a (via @guykawasaki)
  2. @bjkraal Ah, that's probably it. Over 1000 ranked, but only top 500 published. Well spotted.
  3. @bjkraal Maybe Arun Sharma or someone needs to click the "Can't find your university?" link on this page: http://bit.ly/48GMQ9
  4. @bjkraal Maybe so, but QUT *is* a university, and so should appear *somewhere* in the rankings, even if the methodology scores it really low
  5. @k_m_r Right, because we actually have room in the freezer. Not. The Chocolate Bavarian thingo was nice, no?
  6. @bjkraal My point was simply that if La Trobe, Murdoch and Swinburne are listed, you'd expect QUT (and Griffith) to be listed, too, right?
  7. @bjkraal Alumni winning Nobel prizes and Fields Medals count for 10% of the score. The other indicators are to do with *current* staff.
  8. @bjkraal Yes, I just dug up this article about the ARWU rankings which I read last year in The Australian: http://bit.ly/2RgkFL
  9. @bjkraal Also, from memory, ARWU was established to counter the "stickiness" of traditional rankings like the Times Higher Ed ranking.
  10. @bjkraal Actually, no QUT on that list because they left it out. Hell, Swinburne is on the list! (No disrespect intended.)
  11. 2009 Academic Ranking of World Universities: http://bit.ly/2D1c6t. ANU top in Oz. UQ at number 4. No QUT. (via @guykawasaki)
  12. Welcome back to Twitter @AnnaGerber!
  13. @mdreid Ta, if everything goes according to "plan", I've got a house move ahead of me next Monday, too! Hope your move went smoothly.
  14. New house hooked up by Telstra this morning. Now just waiting to get naked (dsl from iiNet).
  15. RT @kop48: Fourth-generation iPhone could gain a radio-frequency identification scanner, says a tipster http://bit.ly/ksCSP (via @gadgetlab)
  16. @markumoto Excellent. It's getting pretty darn hot.
  17. Thanks all for your well wishes and name suggestions. Went with Claire Elise in the end. (See nymbler.com).
  18. Claire Elise Robinson: http://twitpic.com/nyfiu
  19. Baby girl Robinson arrived early this morning. She and @k_m_r doing just fine. Name suggestions please!!!
  20. As one marathon nears its end, another is about to start...
