Lived - COMPLETE dates WITH age calculation! *A minimal scrub from Wikipedia appears to the right!* Willard Gibbs will play a role in the research I’m doing but…I’ll have to be adding in a LOT of little details for him as an Entity.įirst, and foremost to know, WHO WAS HE and…it was at that point that I - for the FIRST-TIME-EVER - decided to select his name and click Smart Lookup in Word. Well…so, there I was…slogging through my fine work when I cam upon the personage of none other than Josiah Willard Gibbs!īut, a FAMED American scientist who made significant theoretical contributions to physics, chemistry, and mathematics. (Can I use timeline as an adjective like that? : ) : ) Sometimes even forgetting the KEY point I had added the person into the timeline - is he German? Or, Prussian?Īnd, trying to go back and add in all the small details, for me, only scrambles the tenuous “time line-y” nature of the project. Disingenuously promising myself “I’ll fill them in later.” just so I can keep from having all the pieces I've arranged in my head from tumbling asunder.Ĭhallenge is…I’m dealing with LONG time spans and…after a while - Wow! The cast of Entities builds up so large that…I can hardly keep up. I find that as I am racing along trying to build a story in my head and need to add Entitites or Events, I will leave a lot of these fields blank. Born, died, country, notes… All of which will need to be done again when his Events occur. Here’s the reason why - there are soooooo many wee boxes to peer into. Working away in Word I realized that I was going to need to add an Entity to my timeline, who would start as an observer, later show up himself as an Event and then continue as a participant or observer in many others. So, there I was, doing the wee research that I do - and for which I am paid (to my constant surprise).
