Daithi ,

Sorry, I haven’t been on the blog in a while. Hearty congratulations on getting you PhD submitted. I wish you well with the defence of same and am sure you’ll do very well.

I wonder can you send me a copy of it once you are finished with the various academic validations? There are aspects of the summary and index I am interested in getting your written views on, in particular Regulation and Net Neutrality.

I sincerely hope that you are not feeling the same gutting anti-climax I felt once I had submitted my (far less important) Masters dissertation.

Anyway, well done.

Ronan

I’m very puzzled by the Wordle. I think it might have cut off before the end as there are words from the later chapters that seem to be undervalued. I might do some more work on it after the final version, just for fun. I was more surprised (and a little annoyed) by the status of ‘however’. It was my first Wordle – what a time to start, eh?

(6 x ‘even though’, for the record!)

Hi there,

I’ve just had a decent look at the wordle, and whilst I’m not surprised by the big words, I was a little taken aback by the frequency with which you must have used “Even”. In fact, it appears with “though”, though “though” is bigger in the worlde and thus more frequent. If I’d spotted that overuse, I would have objected. Even though it doesn’t seem to have done you any harm.

But seriously, a wordle?

But actually seriously, congratulations! Well done and well deserved.

Eoin.

Many congratulations Daithi – viva will no doubt be a stroll in the park – have fun with it. You’ll rarely have another opportunity to talk in depth with people who’ve read your stuff in so much depth. And keep up the good work on here – excellent.

Hey, well done! Nice wordle btw… probably shows that you’ve not overkilled any particular issue as there’s a good spread of medium sized words – especially ‘new’ which seems to feature quite highly!

Funny how the wordle indicates ‘law’ was a common theme in your thesis. Whoulda thunk it?!

Well done dude, you must feel so relieved. Pretty interesting topic alright, working out how to cram law into the internet tubes. Congratulations again!
