In seven days from now I will be in Cyprus. To be more exact Kristoffer and I will head for Limassol and hopefully we will find a nice apartment there. I don’t really know how long we will stay. Time will show.

I have never been to Cyprus before, so it will be interesting to see if its as big a disaster as my trip to Alexandria in Egypt was in march.

Oh well.

As time passes by – and new clients and cases come in I realize it’s getteng harder and harder to actually spend time blogging. Although I like blogging and sharing stuff from my life, I have come to the conclusion that there is only 24 hours available pr. day, and I have to spend most of my available time dealing with clients. 

So – for now there will not be much updates here. 

What is actually easier updating is Twitter. Add me there, and you will at least be able to follow me a bit.

Diving into the social networks

Okay. As those who knows me well knows, I’m a guy that gets easily bored. Working with our clints regarding getting them to the top of the search engines for their desired keywords is fine and dandy, but mostly this kind of work is more or less routines – and it’s rather technical. What I have missed in all that is the people-side of things.

So – a while back (a few months) I started playing with Twitter, and later stumbled by Jaiku (now owned by Google). Another service I just started testing out is Pownce. 

The whole point with these social networks is to use them as a simple and quick way to keep your contacts posted about what you are doing, blog posts and ask about their opinions. They are also called mini-blogs because usually they have a limit of 140 letters for each posting. So, in many ways they can be compared to sending a SMS.

I actually like a lot the fact that I only have 140 chars available. It means I have to be to the point right away since it’s so limited what I can actually write there. 

By the way – you will soon enough find it hard to make a descision on what network to consentrate on – so you might want to check out a little piece of software that let’s you post to most of the social networking sites at once. It’s called Posty and is a little AdobeAir application that runs quite smoothly. 

When I have some more experience with all this social network thingie, I’ll make a post about my experiences with it, and how I think it might fit into the marketing mix. So far I like it though.

Jaiku as Google Desktop widget please!

Dear whoever good at programming widgets for Google Desktop.

I ask you kindly: Could you please make a Jaiku widget for Google Desktop so all the rest of us that hates having to have a program running to use the service can get a good solution?

Please?

Anyone?

Hm. I can’t imagine this has not already been made, so if you know where to get it from please leave a comment with the url. I am dying here..

By the way: Jaiku is now open for public registrations – as of yesterday that is. If you are tired of constantly getting error mesages from Twitter, Jaiku is probably what you want to move on to. I know I have not regreted a second since I left Twitter.

Looking for activity partner in Szczecin – Stettin

Oder River in SzczecinImage via Wikipedia

September 1. I will be living in Szczecin (Stettin) in Poland and I am looking for someone to play squash or badminton with there a couple times a month or weekly – whatever we figure out.

I am not really “into” sports, but it is nice to play a bit to do something besides working and going out from time to time.

So, it does not really matter what level you are, as long as you find it funny to hit a ball :)

Contact me here or by SMS if you are interested. I’m sure we’ll figure out where to play.

Looking for apartment in Szczecin

September 1st 2008 is the first day of being without an apartment here in Gorzow. That means that I have to have found a new apartment in Szczecin by then and I really hope I will find a descent place to live in Szczecin.

Ania has already signed an agreement for an apartment to rent there, so now it is only me left. The apartment she found there is really nice and cosy – and it would be ideal to find something similar if I can just find something a bit bigger than 50 square meters.

If you know about someone renting out an apartment bigger than 50 square meters in a central area of Szczecin I am very interested in hearing about it.I am looking for an apartment of high standard in a secure area of the town. It should be pretty close to Galaxy or the castle. No trams passing by and not too close to the cathedral.

We are also looking for office space in centrum of Szczecin for Devenia as well. We need two rooms at least.

Give me a call or comment below if you have something to offer.

Sitting at the hostel Terminus in Palma de Mallorca

So we finally got here to Mallorca. I say finally bacause we actually managed to miss our originally booked flight and had to take the next one. Lost 160 Euro on that bummer. Oh well.

Our first night here was spent getting some place to live (Terminus Hostel) so we at least have some place to stay for the first couple day’s. Sunday we are going to look for something more suitable as we don’t even have a shower on the room here. But there are four showers on the floor we live.

This hostel is located on the main street of Palma De Mallorca, so it is obviously quite noicy here. The traffic larm from outside our window is “niticable” to put it mildly.

I will try to publish some pictures from our trip here if I get the time.

Hola! from Spain :)
