last will & testament

death, internet, social media, wills

Remember when I was wondering what would happen to all my online stuff when I die?

Well, Lisa over at Cybercoven took it further and actually wrote up a will protecting her writing. She downloaded Neil Gaiman’s simple will for creative people, made a few changes, and now has all her stuff in order.

So I am now going to do the same. I don’t really have any intellectual property to protect, but I would like to know that my blogs and social media stuff won’t just be left stuck out there. I’ve already had an offer from someone willing to take care of Sevilla Tapas. For the rest I’ll mostly need someone to either maintain or delete accounts. Feels weird to be doing this but I think it’s better to deal with it while I am still well & healthy.

How about you – have you made a will?

social media, work

And loving it!

I’m working on the laptops even more than before and the time flies by. In between I get to the gym for yoga and also do my far-too-few English classes. Getting this new job doing the social media thang has really changed my life! In the sense that I am doing work that I am really enjoying, and I feel a lot more focused. Guys, this is just the break I’ve been needing. Especially as this fits into the category of “work that is exactly what I’d want to do anyhow when I get out of bed in the morning” … which is something I’ve been looking for all my life.

But it’s also important to me that I don’t stop my daily posts here. Doing this was something that really kept me going while I was sick after ops and on chemo. My personal scrapbook. My home. And it’s also where I get to visit with you guys. So, hasta mañana!

the week that was

cats, internet, social media, tapas, work

Since last Sunday’s multi-tasking az post lots has been going on. The best news is that I’ve been hired for that part-time social media job I told you about, and I am so thrilled about that. We had a four-hour meeting on Friday and got a lot done. My new client is happy with my work and this is very good news indeed.

Other news is a bit up & down. One of my four students has told me they have to stop classes mid-May because of work obligations. Nog has managed to at least pay his share of the rent this month, but I’ll have to pay for the bills and food. I sure hope things pick up for him next month. Then what was supposed to be a quick vaccination job at the vet’s  on Friday ended up costing 100 euros!  Okay, part of that was stocking up on Azar’s special prescription diet food. But it turned out that Loki’s feline herpes is acting up again, which meant getting some very expensive medicated eye gel for him. But that should be it now until he gets his balls cut off in July. For the record, Loki gets just as hysterical in the cat cage as Azar does. Go figure.

The happy news of the week was Azar’s 15th birthday. He’s been enjoying eating asparagus ever since (tis the season) and is looking very fit. Other great news is that I booked my first tapas tour! Well, the first paid one – god knows I’ve been doing them for years. So that’ll happen in a couple of weeks. Oh, and Manolo (of Málaga apt fame) called to tell me about a seminar being put on by the chamber of commerce about marketing online next Thursday and asked if I wanted to go with him – reckon that should be very interesting and will fit right in with my new job. Seems like I am making connections all over the place these days, so who knows? Maybe those five jobs will start coming together after all. It certainly feels like things are opening up at last.

How was your week?

death, internet, social media

… whither goest my online persona?

Yesterday my Twitter pal Nicchick posted a link to this article, which asked the question – “What happens to all my social networking information when I die?”.  And Nicola said it was something she hadn’t thought about before. Well I have! Quite a lot, actually. And when I told Nicola about this she suggested I write something about it. So here we go…

facebook, social media

On the left is my Sevilla Tapas Facebook page.
On the right is my Sevilla Tapas Facebook Fan page.

Can you tell the difference? No? Well, neither can I.

And I also have no idea about how to manage either of these pages. Seriously. I set up the Sevilla Tapas Facebook account because it’s supposed to be important for people trying to get their biz stuff “out there” using social media … then I saw that most businesses also had Fan Pages, so I got one of those. But I have no idea what the difference is between the two, and whether I should actually have two (or even one!) of these pages … and I especially don’t understand why I can’t access my f*cking Fan Page from my freakin FP Page. Or why I can’t dump the FP and just stick with the Fan Page. It’s both frustrating and infuriating.

So if there is anyone out there who can give me a basic explanation (please type slowly and clearly) about what the difference between these two types of pages is and how the hell I should be using them … well, that would be great.

Meanwhile, I am convinced that Facebook is a bad joke and is not worth my time or energy – and that the joke’s on me for continuing to try to make any sense of it. And I suspect that everyone else on Facebook feels the same but just doesn’t want to admit it.
