Prof: Do you have it in a format easier to read than a txt file?

This data is a collection of 75 Facebook posts with Markdown headers containing date and name for each post.

This hours after he sent me an email saying that that data would probably be useless for my dissertation.

I don't get it. I really don't. Headers aside — and those can very safely be ignored without consequence — none of it is my own content. What formatting can I possibly do?

Replied and told him to open it in Word if that made it easier for him to read.

I suspect it opened in a text editor with a monospace font and he got…confused. The poor soul.

Sigh.

In a strange way I do quite enjoy extreme heat.

Provided I wear only linen.

It's got me too!

@thrrgilag Maybe could collaborate with the drones…

@thrrgilag Oh! That's been around for a while.

I don't see a coffee button :o

Which button is this? :o

It's not anger, it's determination (to shoot down everyone in their path)

Tonight's dissertation work involves restructuring, with a little bit of content creation.

A real exercise in short-term memory, but also very peaceful.

I don't know if we're allowed acknowledgement/thanks pages, but if we are, I'm certainly crediting BBEdit (it has its shortcomings, but it's the best editor I've found so far), because doing something on this scale in The Word Processor Which Shall Not Be Named would be frustrating enough to make me abandon the project. White (and green, pink, orange, etc.) text on a black background is relaxing. The only formatting I have to worry about is tab stops.

@height8 Sounds great! Remember to tread carefully so you don't get dragged by the ear to the mothership, cables and all :P
