I’ve a fair amount of links collected in the past two years and most are listed in this research site.
Posting the IETF datatracker site here to remind me to check out their activities.

Back posting on an event in September 2015…
In reviewing literature, I came across a Conference – the ICG3S – that was due to be hosted just in my neighbourhood on 15th September 2015. I signed up at the very last minute and attended the Conference.
Just for my own record, the URLs for the live broadcast:

Someone told me long time ago that learning boring stuff is what makes life ‘easy’ and/or a ‘safe’ bet.
My PhD is focusing on pretty boring stuff which I will have to somehow find a novel way of looking at the problem and solution domains.
Here’s a site – TERENA Incident Taxonomy and Description Working Group which has tons of ‘boring stuff’, but I guess they are damn important for folks who are into such matters. The problem is there are so many such ‘boring stuff’ and I will have to navigate my way through all these ‘important, boring stuff’ to do my PhD (groan!).

I am now into the start of my 3rd year of PhD, and I’m still reviewing literature and discussing my research aims/objectives etc. with yet another lot of new supervisors.
To keep it short, I nearly ‘quit’ (and/or forced out from!) the PhD due to circumstances, which could have been avoided with regular and ‘keen’ interaction with the supervisor. Another contributing factor was that my research topic, involving Eastern Theory and approaches, was totally ‘alien’ and was viewed as ‘high risk’.

So here I’m re-starting on a new topic, which hopefully is considered ‘safe’ enough for Westerners.
I could write a Thesis just on my PhD experience so far!
