With that in mind I thought I would interview myself:

Have you learned anything new about yourself? No.

Have you changed? Yes.

Are you going to tell the nice people how you have changed? No, it is a personal thing. Let’s just say I am more human.

Do you enjoy Twitter? When it works, yes. I did not like it when they changed the @reply system and I still do not like the lack of seeing all conversations.

How would you make Twitter better? I would invest in the stability of the product before prettying up the site. Functionality is more important than looks in this case.

Are you selling anything on Twitter? No

Well if you are not selling anything why are you using Twitter? I am using Twitter to converse with folk and learn from them. I originally just wanted to use Twitter in a professional way, just for my IT tech stuff. You know ask IT related questions and share ideas. But that soon became secondary. Why? Well I enjoyed the conversations more than the geekery. Connecting with another human half way across the world is awesome. Connecting with a person halfway across the world and sharing the same ideas and views or debating even more awesome.

Do you think you will be on Twitter in 5 years time? Not to the extent I am these days. I may use other products that feed into Twitter but I am not sure. Those who know me know I have a constant struggle balancing the online offline stuff. I really should unhook more and go off and exercise. Also the benefit of unhooking means when you return you have something to talk about. So my future plans for me and Twitter are up in the air. I could leave tomorrow and not come back, who knows.

What was your first Twitter Avavtar? This one (pictured below)

What is your current Twitter Avatar? This one (pictured below) I changed it from red to yellow because I think it looks cleaner.

I just want to say a big thank you to those who have put up with me. I know earlier in the year I had lots of ups and downs, there were reasons for that and those reasons were in an earlier blog post called “Hell” I think I have seen the back of that now.

I am also really excited to be working with Steph on doodurls without Twitter we would never have met. So thank you Twitter for that.

But I really mean it thank you to all those who still follow, I hate the term follow so I shall say a huge thank you to those who have remained my friend through this year that I have been on Twitter. You do mean a great deal to me.

Why did you not vlog this? I did not vlog this as my first blog was a written one so it seemed fitting that this one should be.

A truck driver sees a girl about to jump of a bridge so he stops “What are you doing?” he says. “I’m trying to commit suicide” she says. “well before you jump give me a blowjob” the truck driver says. So she does. After she has finished the truck driver says “Wow that’s a wasted talent, why are you committing suicide?” She replies “Cause my parents don’t like me dressing up like a girl”

Tweet Me

Well I started getting very high up in the CurseBird standings, so instead of swearing like a trooper I made #BSFAW.

Oh it means Bollocks Shit Fuck And Wank and I shout each word out as I type #BSFAW

Tweet Me on Twitter

Now for the sad news. My iPhone is running the current version of OS 3.0 BETA the Skype app does not work with this OS. I have managed to do one successful test call, when played back sounded ropey.

When trying to make calls the app just hangs so you have to close the app, but after you close the app the iPhone makes a very odd ticking sound.

Ah the woes of BETA software, but I know users running OS 2.2.1 are having some difficulties too. Maybe the app has been rushed or maybe the iPhone OS is not ready.

Please also note that the Skype app does not work on Jailbroken iPhones, the app opens then closes on these iPhones. The latest news is that if you update the Mobile Substrate this improves the stability of the of the Skype app.

I do find it hard to understand how an app like Nimbuzz manages to do Skype perfectly on all iPhone OS and Skype themselves cannot. I am not entertaining Fring as a Skype app as the call quality is shockingly poor.

Looks like I and maybe a few others will be sticking with Nimbuzz to make our Skype calls, till Skype and the iPhone OS see eye to eye.

I auditioned for a part in Angel Between The Lines. Angel Between The Lines is brought to you by the same people who brought you Buffy Between The Lines.

I did a video of me trying to audition. I know I look like a tit and to be honest I do not care. I wanted to try living a bit of life. I hope you enjoy the video and look out for my world class Sean Bean impersonation LOL.

I scoured the iTunes App Store and thought I was loosing my mind. I could hear all the “wow Kindle is amazing” chatter flowing through Twitter and the web, but could I find it? No.

One very good reason I could not find Kindle. Once again the iTunes App Store have released a product to some parts of the world and not to others. This quite frankly sucks.

Yes I know about national trademarks and international commerce borders. I would have thought in this day and age the internet would be exempt of that. After all I can have a .com webpage even though I live in the UK. I can also purchase items from American websites, I would be more than happy to by my Kindle books the same way. But I can’t because UK has been left out of the Kindle revolution.

Well this picture made me laugh
