Starting Point

I wanted to get this Blog started on Monday, but I've been actually writing stuff. Just to explain this is intended to be kind of an online research diary. I hope it will help me to keep track of what I am managing to get done, and also be a place where I can put ideas and questions. If all goes well then all those helping me to finish this thesis will be able to see how I'm doing, and will be able to comment on ideas and will hopefully be able to help out with my questions.
Any suggestions willingly entertained.
