Furthermore, they all want to have something that lies in between a workshop and a coaching project.

Learning what it means to be online all the time

I have had my iPhone for a while now. One thing I discovered is that it has some kind of profound influence when I am online all the time. For example, the meebo apps allow me to manage everything: my ICQ, MSN, facebook account. Thus I get a lot of notifications in my iPhone.

Everyone saw that I am always online. They message me and I don’t reply because I thought it will show when I’m not there. I also thought that after some time, the status will revert to offline. However, that was actually not the case. I did communicate to other people, but I frustrated some people whom I was unable to reply to.

I got 10 of these huge Twitter wall agendas, and I’m really not going to use more than 2, so I’d be happy to swap or give it away for free. If you are a twitter fan and you want one of those just leave a comment.

However I am not going to send them via post, you will need to get them in Kranenburg or Nijmegen.

It’s really quite handy & beautiful too…
