Future plans
Yeh, I know, I haven't written anything for a couple of weeks. I've been spending a lot of time and energy on finishing up my work and looking for another contract to move on to. I haven't got anything yet, but I'm enjoying the free time I have right now. It'll end soon, when I get another role and will become busy again.
One of the issues about contracting is the time between contracts, which can be a little frustrating, so I'm going to do some focusing on full time work instead of just contracting. Bring on some stability. 
With more changes in my life, I've changed the blog template again. I'm after the perfect template, but I haven't found it yet. When I do, you'll know.
Blogging from my phone
I decided to add a Wordpress app to my iPhone and then discovered my blog was too old… So I upgraded Wordpress from 2.3 to 2.6. That was a bit of a mission… And then I discovered my theme was incompatible!
So I managed to find a nice theme that I liked (incredible!), upgraded that and some of the plugins, and here I am, 2 hours later…
But at least I can blog via the iPhone now…
This thing is getting better the more I use it. I can take photos, blog, twitter… all from my 'phone'. The little keyboard still takes some getting used to though.
Oh… I can even make phone calls with it! Wonders will never cease…
My friend Alex and I blogged about a day in our life recently. Now he wants to do the same thing, but in photos. So starting tomorrow I'll be using this to take photos of my life over a 24 hour period.
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.
Eyes On The World cancelled… again
According to you, the reader, politics is one of your favourite topics in this blog. Since you comment on political and news posts in here, but you don't (or rarely) comment in my Eyes On The World blog, and since I said I was going to do more posts in here on what you seem to like, I'm cancelling Eyes On The World. Again. But at least I'm not stopping the political commentary. Instead, I'll continue with it in this blog, keeping 'life through my eyes' focused in here, rather than spread across a couple of blogs.
If you don't like reading politics, just ignore those posts. You know the drill.
Blog Review: mimi in NY
Title: mimi in NY
Description: 40 countries, 12 boats, 37 flights, 46 assholes and 6 months later… Writing for The Village Voice, avoiding Bill O'Reilly and campaigning for immigrants whilst musing on anal sex and pissing off the religious right.
Mimi, as the author of this blog calls herself, is an illegal immigrant in the US, having come over from the UK. She's been trying to find ways of legalising her stay in America, becoming a citizen. It hasn't been going according to plan. While she's been there and doing this, she's been writing about her 'adventures'. And what adventures they are.
Not just with her beaureacratic adventures around immigration, but also her adventures in life. She's a writer, and so she's done a bit of travelling around; around the world, and around America. She's used her writing skills to relate her experiences concerning travel, immigration, sex, stripping and exotic dancing.
