I still have an unstarted Christmas Cake. I might take it along to my piano group on Friday. I don't have anything to play so may as well take some sustenance to share! Or will they all be on diets by now?

The diets have probably been and gone by now, so I shouldn't worry about tempting people. It is only polite to share cake and if they ain't got no will power that's not your problem (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I use facebook in a semi-professional capacity and it has brought me a lot of fantastic contacts and even some direct business. I follow galleries, other artists, exhibitions, collectors etc instead of people who post about what they had for breakfast (soooo boring so I've 'dropped' them). I log into facebook about four times a day for updates on work-related things.

I just feel I have to defend facebook because a lot of people are unaware of the fantastic networking tool it can be for businesses like mine that are quite physically isolated. But I do also stay in touch with friends and hobbies and interests I have outside work. The trick with facebook is to make sure you are using it to your advantage and not as a mindless gossip rag (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)


edit: If anyone wants to join me on facebook and see my latest work just drop me a PM for the details.

lottie, I'm with you when it comes to Facebook. I think it's all in how you use it, I have many friends and relatives abroad and it's so nice for me to be able to keep up with them - who is where, who had another child, what new baby's name is, etc. It's lovely for sharing photos when used right- provides very granular access lists so i can specify exactly who can see my stuff. I also won't friend anyone whom I don't know in real life and anyone who regularly posts rubbish (I am particularly annoyed by people who invite everybody on their list to dubious events halfway across the world) gets removed.

However, if you don't know how to use that level of access control it's a real pain - and it is not necessarily simple to figure out - and they keep changing how things work so I can't blame people for just saying, hang it already, I'm getting off Facebook.

We've just had a (very small) earthquake here! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)
The desk shook for a couple of seconds - very scary. Now trying to find out whether it was a small local one or a big one a long way off...

Edit: 5.1 magnitude epicentre near Parma.

It's great that facebook works for you and many others and I hope it continues to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

However, I've also seen the damage it can do.

For me it's time to get rid, simple as (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

No gravy. Just salt and pepper and a couple of bashed cloves of garlic.
