One of whom was actually at Birmingham (and I was surprised why I got so much mail from psychology students I'd never heard of before!). Meeting this guy was a weird experience.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I cannot remember where I wrote this. One of the dangers of blogging and commenting I guess; you lose track of where you picked up (and dropped) certain snippets of information.

My wife once wrote him an email telling him that he wasn't the real Dave Gunning. <BR/>I do occasionally Google the titles of articles I've written to see who's citing them / putting them on reading lists -- it's a good way of finding who is working on similar topics to me...Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10042136983718371047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080001070214449901.post-51107601176454909262009-02-11T11:29:00.000-08:002009-02-11T11:29:00.000-08:00Oh and something else I found out, a Monica Borg i...Oh and something else I found out, a Monica Borg is also some actress in a TV series called, Clodagh would you wont believe this, 'Caesar Hotel'Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01884717706545970024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080001070214449901.post-39931203045580392172009-02-11T11:27:00.000-08:002009-02-11T11:27:00.000-08:00Oh my God Tom!!!

My name is not that googlable either but upon googling 'monica borg birmingham' most hits brought up this book I had published with my supervisor. I wrote the critical edition to a collection of short stories. The whole book and my introduction is on google books, and also had a review in the International Fiction Review which describes it flatteringly as 'a labor of love'. I honestly did not think anyone had even remotely noticed that book. Fantastic Bill! Well done for this exercise!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01884717706545970024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080001070214449901.post-90479307750160134192009-02-11T00:16:00.000-08:002009-02-11T00:16:00.000-08:00Can't think which software you mean, Oliver ;) Act...Can't think which software you mean, Oliver ;) Actually, I'm waiting for google to allow us to collect our reader feeds in the gmail environment. My life would be complete.<BR/><BR/>Back to the post, though - wonderful! Thanks for the info about google alerts, Tom, that's a really creative use and I've just gone and set a couple up for myself (just google 'google alerts'). <BR/><BR/>"...for those less narcissistic than I seem to be..." - we're all narcissistic, aren't we? Anyway, you've sparked something here - a search on 'William Miller'brought me some Americans (preacher, publisher actor), on 'Bill Miller', financier, photographer, musician. But, not me...<BR/><BR/>Narrowed down to UK, with the addition of '+grimsby' also struck out - but... a search on 'bill miller +skills' gave me the second and third results googled 'bill miller +elearning' took me right to the top (even if the actual results are thoroughly uninspiring). Yaay! <BR/><BR/>Come on everybody - google yourself and post your findings in this discussion thread :-)BiluĊhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15194606495946091033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080001070214449901.post-6241423797711381832009-02-10T11:06:00.000-08:002009-02-10T11:06:00.000-08:00I should have known: you can get it as a feed!

Now if you could get those as rss in Google reader instead of as emails...<BR/><BR/>'Oliver Mason' is rather annoying: I used to get myself first, but now the top hits on google are some upstart actor, who even has his own Wikipedia entry. Not sure how I can push him off that top spot again!Oliver Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15470911924018335990noreply@blogger.com
