I feel a post coming on!!

Hello 2011 - I would have liked to have blogged about you before - I have just been that busy, you would n't believe it!!

Anyway, things are progressing quite nicely. I have now finished my MSc and I am actively trying to get some papers published.

My main endeavour is to get a paper published about consciousness in relation to language. I would like to point out that the absence of the word consciousness from language before 1650 (or so) does not mean that the idea did not exist in people before that time, something that the author Wilkes would disagree with, evidently.

Suffice it to say, the pressure is currently on to finish the article re-drafting (preferably by the end of today) with a view to getting published this week! Hooray!!
