Nine hours in the library, editing the paper on Facebook’s personalisation algorithm and its impact on user satisfaction. After spending exactly an hour and a half on disentangling one single comparative statistic (and why the comparison is not valid), I think my brain is about to explode. Still – this is much closer to how I imagined my sabbatical to be: stuck in a library doing stuff that I wouldn’t normally have the time to do while teaching etc.
The weather is finally turning colder, especially at night, but the sunshine is still brilliant.
