Welcome to 'My PhD Chronicles' Notebook / Notepad


I will be here sharing with you on my PhD journey. I hope to hear from you as well on how you faring on as a PhD student, PhD candidate or as a Postgraduate student.

I have developed a nice little software notepad for all of us here called 'my PhD chronicles' where we can write down all that pertains to our PhD studies, research, projects and generally everything about postgraduate life.

Part of my PhD journey is to gather tuition, lab, travelling and research fees so that I can be allowed in class to finish coursework, gain access to computer labs and getting cleared by board of postgraduate studies to carry out my research project.

I plan to raise the above fees by giving every one of us ownership of 'my PhD chronicles' notepad for $4.99 US dollars only. If I can get about 2000 of us to order ' my PhD chronicles' I would be so grateful to have funded my PhD in Information Technology thru this simple concept. I would thereafter popularize and champion similar concepts among would be postgraduate students from developing countries to realize their dreams of pursuing postgraduate studies where postgraduate and research funds are hard to come by.

One of the forms that accompanied My PhD admission letter was a declaration form that required me to commit that either a sponsor or I myself will fully fund my PhD programme. I signed that I will fund my PhD studies! I did not have a sponsor and the onus was on my side to figure out how I would raise my PhD fees. So, here I am with rolled sleeves fresh from programming days on night ends this beautiful 'my PhD chtonicles' notepad and availing it here for us all to grab a copy.

I am delighted to have gotten admission into my choice of preferred PhD degree programme at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, one of the best technology universities in these sides of Africa and right now my mind is focussed all the way to the day of my viva. You guys are gonna teach me how to multitask between postgraduate studies and techpreneurship (...the norm has been that it cannot be done but I negate all that and call upon you all to help me prove to naysayers that it can be done).
