In the next few weeks, I shall have a website up, chiefly because apparently one must now construct a digital monument before Google can be persuaded that one has existed.

It will contain the details of my books, monographs, papers and the other work that people so often fail to find, cite or attribute—an omission that has always struck me as less mysterious than convenient. It will also set out the six doctorates I already hold, the seventh I hope to complete next year, and the eighth I begin this year. Academic life is exhausting, particularly for those obliged to pretend none of it happened.

For the incurably curious, this includes a PhD in Economics from Exeter, a PhD in Law from Leicester, a PhD in Computer Science from Charles Sturt, and considerably more besides.

Everything will be linked, indexed, searchable and made suitably SEO-friendly, so that even the most determined critic will no longer be able to confuse not looking with not finding. I should hate to deprive the haters of their occupation; I merely intend to improve the quality of their research.
