I am reducing the amount of communities I am a member of online. I just don’t have time for them and find my being a part of them useless. For example, Gaia Online. It is just riddled with trolls, spammers and general idiots. I’m unable to have an intelligent conversation with anybody due to the anonymity. With people being just about anonymous on the Internet, they act like fools. I can’t delete my account there, so I just have to leave it.
The community that I will be remaining a member of is the wonderful Quilting Bee. Since a chatroom has been created for the club, I have been more active than ever. I have been inspired by the lovely people I have spoken to. They are really nice guys, there has not been any drama there so far. There is always somebody to talk to and to help you out with anything (web design, personal problems, etc.). We’re looking for more male members, so if you’re male and have a website/blog and fit the requirements, then please consider joining us. We’re all a nice bunch of people from different walks of life. We all share two interests - websites and making friends. If you’re female, then still consider joining. 
That’s the shameless plugging/lip service of the club over and done with. Check it out!
Oh by the way, I have changed my Quilting Bee quilt design, too!

My mobile/cell phone contract was due to end next month, so I went on the network’s website yesterday to see what options I had concerning free upgrades and renewal discounts. I decided to upgrade my phone since my previous one didn’t seem to be charging properly. I ordered the upgrade and was notified that I would not receive it until Monday due to the weekend coming up. I was up early today, thankfully. I got a knock on the door at around 9am, my phone had arrived. It was quite a surprise since it was stated that mobiles were not delivered during the weekend. For once I get a package early rather than late!
The phone I ordered was a Sony Ericsson k660i. I decided to go with Sony Ericsson since Sean always goes for them and is very pleased with the brand. I used to own one of their phones years ago, which I found quite decent. So far, the phone seems fine. It is easy to use, has a nice big screen and I managed to import my contacts without a hitch. I was concerned about the buttons when I first saw them, I thought they were too small and were going to be fiddly. However, I tried texting and the buttons are alright for me. The phone has a whole new bunch of features, too many to name. I suggest you check out the link above to find out more.
I’m not much of a mobile fanatic, as long as I am able to make and take phone calls and send text messages, I am fine, but I reckon I’m going to have some fun messing around with this phone. I want to make the most out of it. It would be a waste to not take full advantage of the features it offers. Once I’ve had a play around with it I will probably update you on what I think.
