<\/a><\/p>\nI'm just checking out the iPhone WordPress app here really. I installed it several weeks ago but haven't had the opportunity till now, at 5:45 on a Saturday morning, to look at it.<\/p>\n
I should point out that I'm not getting up at 5:45 on a Saturday, but have of late developed a strange 'insomnia hour' habit. This comprises roughly one hour of unwanted wakefulness, inconveniently starting at around 5:30 each morning, and therefore ending just in time for me to catch an unsatisfying 30 minutes, or less, of light sleep before Radio 4 wakes me up for work.<\/p>\n
No such troubles today of course, and once I'm done with this somewhat bloated Twitter post I'll be back in the land of nod for a well overdue lie-in.<\/p>\n
The fact that now is the first opportunity I've had (yes, or created) for several months to actually write something is in all honesty a fair reflection of how ridiculously busy I've been. Busy to the point of unpleasantness really. Even the photography has been more than a little thin on the ground which is something that nags me constantly.<\/p>\n
I've mostly been behind a desk creating 'Flash stuff' for people, from 8 till late, six days a week.<\/p>\n
The problem is that - being a freelancer - I started the year full of Daily-Mail-style *Credit Crunch Fears*, and thus took on each and every piece of work (within reason) that landed on my desk. And those financial fears weren't helped by the fact that we had a large chunk of the back of the house rebuilt starting the first week in January. <\/p>\n
That's all done and nice and paid for now so maybe (definitely) it's time to become a little more selective about which jobs I take on.<\/p>\n
Despite the bags under my eyes I count myself very lucky in having this as an option - I know a few people who have been out of work. I guess it all depends on who your client's (or employer's) client's are, and whether or not they've gone into administration.<\/p>\n
But (I vaguely recall an English teacher telling me that one should never start a sentence with the word 'But') it's 6:30 now so sleep beckons again. I usually spend my insomnia hour browsing blogs in Google Reader on the phone (there's an excellent mobile web version) so thought it time I wrote something instead.<\/p>\n
With the latest project all but finished, and a trip to OFFF<\/a> in Lisbon next week, hopefully I'll have an actual *subject* to write about soon, and maybe even the time to do it. And at the very least I'll post some photos.<\/p>\nHave a nice weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
