So … Agile Messenger … lets see what that means in an amusing way. According to thefreedictionary.com The word "Agile" is defined as:

1. Characterized by quickness, lightness, and ease of movement; nimble.
2. Mentally quick or alert: an agile mind.

So how do I match up/fare with those definitions when considering this self portrait photo I tried to take outside St Mark's Basilica, Venice, Italy

1 … yes well … maybe I was a little too agile, quickness – a little too quick? lightness – guess I should learn to hold my iPhone still, but it is a nice light device; ease of movement – maybe I moved a little too easily before the image was captured
2. Mentally quick or alert … and an agile mind – based on the size of my forehead in the photo I think I qualify there.

Just incase it wasn't clear, I moved my iPhone by mistake as I took the picture, thus the slightly blurred picture and my massive looking forehead.

Thanks Agile Messenger for being such a great app !!!

So, with all that said, having a one stop shop for all my local, national and international communication needs would make my life so much easier.

P.S. Would this also reduce the amount of times people change their numbers and forget to tell me I wonder? For some reason that happens all the time. I can't imagine why!

P.P.S. Note to self, by stocks in companies that make string. With this economic downturn I could be onto something here.

P.P.P.S. Speak to therapist about squirrel, sister, string, bike, wall issue, there may be some residual emotions still outstanding.

THE END

Moving on, (something else that my therapist often tells me to do), so I have many people all over the world to keep in touch with, I know this isn't a popularity contest, so why am I bringing this up? Well, all these friends, family, colleagues and acquaintances of mine are on different networks or use different platforms and I don't want to have to use all of them, I want a 1 stop shop that caters for them all. That’s where Agile Messenger would come in, see, I told you it was relevant.

There was a time when I thought all of my family and friends could hook up an elaborate setup of yogurt pots and string to keep communication costs down, but after a nasty incident involving a squirrel, my sister, a bike, the fore mentioned string and a wall we had to scrap that idea. Not to mention moving to American would have required an awfully long piece of string!

After 35 years of living in England I up'd sticks and moved to Ponca City, OK. Now how is this relevant to this competition you may ask, and rightly so. Well, as you can imagine, being a popular person, as I am, well at least that's what my therapist tells me, I have many people to keep in touch with. Some are here in Ponca City, (wife and children, and yes, I do like to keep in touch with my wife), some on the East & West coast of this fair land, (is it just me or are these time-zones confusing?), many back 'over the pond', (OK so the Atlantic is slightly bigger than a pond and I don't know many ponds with aircraft at the bottom of them but us Brits are kooky like that and like to refer to the Atlantic as a pond), and now with my new job I also have to communicate with Indians, (not the Native American variety that are found in considerable numbers around here in Oklahoma, but the ones living in India where there night is our day and vice-versa.)

…to be continued…

I use Agile Messenger on my iPhone for all my instant messaging needs, freeing me of the need to run it on one of my two monitors, which are already busy doing other things. In a way, it's almost a third monitor.
