Thesis-o-meter

Since Mar 11, 2009, I am officially in thesis writing mode. The plan is to have the thesis writen by end June 2009. I usually find peer pressure to be very effective for keeping me motivated when I work on not too engaging stuff. I 've put together this page to monitor my progress towards the tight deadline.

Feel free to drop me a line to encourage my progress or critisize the lack of it!

The thesis-o-meter is not not my invention; several other researchers have tried this before and this letter explains why and how the thesis-o-meter works. However, my thesis-o-meter is the first to use the Google Chart API instead of gnuplot to draw the plots. I guess I can call it the first Web 2.0 thesis-o-meter :-)
