Jobs, attitude changes, and iPhones
What a couple of weeks it's been. A few things have happened, which I'd like to share with you. But first, apologies for not having written anything these past weeks. I've been a little pre-occupied with a few things, which I'll be sharing with you below.
I've been once again having some challenges finding another contract to move on to. I think there's a few factors at play there, including a slow contracting market at the moment, due to changes in how the new government wants to do things. This makes it a little bit more difficult for contractors, as this government town has a bit of a freeze on hiring new contractors. And then there's the fact that I'm aiming my applications at an area I haven't had a lot of experience or background in, so starting a new career path at the same time has its own share of difficulties.

Having trouble understanding the value of Twitter?
If you’re like the average person out there, Twitter might be something that you just don’t get.
“I just don’t get it,” I hear you cry out every day. Well, I’ve explained the value for average users over here – Twitter for the average user – so I recommend you read it. And then follow me on Twitter. 
But what about if you’re a blogger? Or if you have a website that you want to promote? How can Twitter be of value for you?
I’ve created a special Twitter page on this blog which is only accessible from the link I’ve created in my Twitter bio, and is especially for all those that come to my blog via Twitter (but you can also view it here). There’s nowhere else in my blog that links to it, so the only people that can come to it are from those browsing Twitter profiles and following links.
