Dr. Who?

This is a brand new blog, but I’m not new to blogging. So if you are not familiar with my past, you might want to know: who is Dr. Smetty and what is this blog about.

Smetty is my nickname (online and offline). A lot off people I first met online, don’t even know my real name. Besides a nickname, Smetty is also my online identity. So when I was thinking about a name for my English weblog, it had to be something with ‘smetty’ in it. Being a Ph.D. student at the moment, I came up with the idea to call this blog Dr. Smetty. In real life, I would never grant myself a title I don’t own. But, hey, this is the internet, and my online identity decided to blog as Dr. Smetty.

The content of this blog will be my thoughts in English, with a special focus on education and the road to my Ph.D.

hallo C,

net van Nicola Avery opgevangen dat jij ook in Gent woont en ik lees dat je in het Engels een education/ICT phd voorbereidt. Langs deze weg dus een warm hallo en misschien eens kennis maken.

Succes trouwens!

groetjes,
Inge
