Today I’m starting a series of blog post called thesis narratives. These narratives will be short stories about the thesis process. The narratives will be a mix of material based on text, image, video, and audio.They will be about processes and the outcome of processes.

I’m starting with a screenshot from my OneNote thesis notebook. It is a beginning of a personal faq (frequently asked questions). Recent time I have involuntarily been drawn into a Microsoft universe, much against my own will, even if this process is driven by my own agency. I have installed Windows 7 on two laptops, of one is a macbook pro. I have switched writing technology from Open Office & Freemind etc to Word & OneNote 2007. All these Microsoft ”infiltration” seems to be by chance, but I’m not completely sure of the forces behind all this. The main incentive might have been the need for a good and stable reference system in the thesis document. I found the one integrated in Word 2007. Simple, Stable, Functional.
