Hi, Andy!
Andy Turner says:
Hi Belinda
belinda says:
How are things in Leeds. Got a message asking people to get all maps as they like!
Andy Turner says:
Yeah, do you want me to get some for you?
Andy Turner says:
I have already got some...
belinda says:
Anything interesting? Is there anything about Northern Ireland or Scotland?
belinda says:
Or Isle of Wight?
Andy Turner says:
Yes, loads.... Hmmm.... I'll try and fill our office! Had a chat with Jackie this morning about getting us a map draw piece of furniture to replace some of our other stuff...

Andy Turner says:
There is a Staff Meeting later today 2pm
Andy Turner says:
I spoke to Jan yesterday about the build up of your mail in our pigeon hole
Andy Turner says:
She is sending it on
Andy Turner says:
She'd assumed since she saw you one time that there was no need to forward any more
Andy Turner says:
I've set her straight so hopefully it will come more regularly now
belinda says:
Thanks, Andy. I was afraid that I missed something.
Andy Turner says:
Keep you more up to date
Andy Turner says:
Although there is the website and blogs 
belinda says:
Not sure why she got such impression. Strange!
Andy Turner says:
And the beloved N:
Andy Turner says:

belinda says:
I e-mailed her yesterday and she is not replying....
Andy Turner says:
Some people are a bit slow, we need to be patient....
belinda says:
Mmmm, you are really doing a good job keeping that blog. I wonder where did you find the time?
Andy Turner says:
I guess the time comes from integrating and practice at multi-tasking...
belinda says:
Mark rang me up yesterday and asked me to produce a specification doc for the restrutured system. Can you describe a bit about the data that you will produce? what attributes etc?
Andy Turner says:
We had a meeting yesterday, check this out:
belinda says:
And I assume you still categorise people into HRP, spouse, elderly, children and adult dependents?
Andy Turner says:

Andy Turner says:
I was under the impression that nothing different from our earlier conversation...
belinda says:
That's what I hoped!
belinda says:
Although Mark told me that they wanted to use HSAR!
Andy Turner says:
It is now up to me to make sure each individual is either markes as being in a Communal Establishment (CE) or in a Household .
Andy Turner says:
HaHa
Andy Turner says:
(H
Andy Turner says:
)
Andy Turner says:
Yes, the latest plan is they want me to use the HSAR
Andy Turner says:
More work...
belinda says:
Feeling like playing God, eh?
Andy Turner says:
It basically is just slightly worse data that's all...
Andy Turner says:
Hmmm
Andy Turner says:
God
belinda says:
I remembered that you raised the issue of the smapling size, but Mark thinks that's next concern.
Andy Turner says:
I think we can use a mix in the end
Andy Turner says:
It is a good idea to use HSAR, but we need to monitor things closely
belinda says:
Probably for the best!
belinda says:
Yes, I agree.
Andy Turner says:
I would prefer to do it one way well rather than continually change...
belinda says:
Yeh, but maybe some minor changes are inevitable...
Andy Turner says:
Yeah...
belinda says:
Sounds like you have a lot of changes to make in your system.
Andy Turner says:
I want you to have a better web page 
belinda says:
But do not think it will change much from my side.
belinda says:
Are you encouraging me to keep a blog?
Andy Turner says:
Patrick's just come in to open his coffee, he says hello
belinda says:
Hello to hime as well!
Andy Turner says:
Yes, but more important are your other web pages. If you use a blog these will develop content more organically
belinda says:
I'm guilty as charged, need to update my webpages.
Andy Turner says:
Will say hi to patrick, I'm going for some of that coffee shortly!
Andy Turner says:
I was also thinking of making a new sign for our door...
Andy Turner says:
Could I use a picture of you?
belinda says:
I'm a bit concerned with the energy and time. You know having a full time job, doing a part time PhD and raising a toddler is not easy!
Andy Turner says:
There is not one on your web page...
belinda says:
Yes!
belinda says:
I'll dig out one and send it to you!
belinda says:
I missed all the photo sessions!
Andy Turner says:
Yep, I appreciate that you have a lot on... However I feel like a blog saves me more time in the long run...
belinda says:
Pity they never had one when I was in Leeds!
Andy Turner says:
On that subject, how about coming across early next month?
belinda says:
En, I guess that may be true. You never know, I may start blogging sometime!
belinda says:
Yes, I'm in on 8th of June.
belinda says:
Lots of meetings
belinda says:
Reviewing the teleworking, project, PhD... I need to get the new keys to the office, too!
belinda says:
I'm still having the keys to now Phil's door!
Andy Turner says:
OK, lot's too many meetings if you ask me, when do they expect us to do the work? My personal feeling is that you should not be spending much of your precious time flying to Leeds for meetings and that these others learn how to use technology! 
Andy Turner says:
Haha
Andy Turner says:
I think the teleworking would work better if you were blogging, but if you want support then you can come to me.
belinda says:
Yes, I agree!
Andy Turner says:
I am happy with you teleworking although I miss you and there is a lot that goes on. For MoSeS it is good as you are not diverted, but I worry that you miss out...
belinda says:
Blogging just requires more updating than normal pages, I think. I have maintained the web for my previous research group for 3 years...
Andy Turner says:
Oh, BTW, can I link to our conversation from my blog?
belinda says:
I know! Sometimes I do feel that I missed out all the opportunities to communicate with the colleagues etc...
belinda says:
 I know that is coming...
belinda says:
Yep!
Andy Turner says:
I am keeping a blog for MoSeS too now
Andy Turner says:
Thanks
Andy Turner says:
http://www.geog.leeds.ac.uk/people/a.turner/projects/MoSeS/documentation/meetings/
belinda says:
That's really useful. well done, Andy!
Andy Turner says:
Can I link to it in that page too?
belinda says:
Of course you can.
Andy Turner says:
 I need to dig out my old paper records from earlier meetings
Andy Turner says:
When these are on line we are really shining as e-Social Science demonstrator me thinks 
belinda says:
Remembering your filing system, I'd say that is not easy!
belinda says:
To find all the bits, I mean...
Andy Turner says:
I have copies of the word documents and so on that you have developed, but I have not linked to these
Andy Turner says:
Haha
Andy Turner says:
I want you to do that.
belinda says:
What?
Andy Turner says:
Think of it as putting your filesystem online...
Andy Turner says:
Just MoSeS abstract/drafts and so on....
belinda says:
Yeah, would be a good idea. But still thinks that blog can take too much time...
Andy Turner says:
OK, no worries...
belinda says:
I'll update my web pages first, including the publication, presentation etc...
belinda says:
Then maybe start blogging sometime...
Andy Turner says:
 You're great! I want us to focus on the goals. I want to help you organise, but I don't have to have you do it my way. I am not big on micro management, but I am big on openess and honesty. I want others to appreciate what you do and the easiest way is the web.
belinda says:
I'm aware of the benefit, but it is just to find the time and get around to it...
Andy Turner says:
So, let's get on now. This has been a good chat. If you want me to do anything just shout. In the meantime I will be nose to the gridstone...
belinda says:
Wow, it seems a quite lengthy conversation now- will look good on your blog!
Andy Turner says:
It will just be a link... I expect only you and I will ever refer to it!
belinda says:
OK, bye for now...
Andy Turner says:
Bye
belinda says:
bye1
