Well… To avoid having a whole month go by without updates, I’ll try to summarize the main reasons why this happened:

1. Switched ISPs (Clix > Meo) and that left me sometime without internet.
2. When I had internet again, I had to pack stuff… (read on)
3. On September, 6th I officially moved to the US: Porto > Frankfurt > Chicago > Des Moines on plane and Des Moines > Ames by car. Yes, I now officially live in Ames, Iowa, US. (check the Google Maps links ;))
4. I couldn’t bring my PC tower (my hand-picked one… FOR SALE as of now… contact me for details!), so besides my work computer (Apple iMac G5) I’m somewhat offline.
5. I’m not in the US with a work visa as I’m not getting my paycheck from here. I’ll be in training and will do some work, but I’ll be paid from Portugal. This situation my change in the future depending on… might happen. (updates on this later on, along with details of my current… errr… “job description”)
6. I won’t buy my next computer, a Macbook Pro, until OS X Leopard comes out… And I hope no rumors of MBP updates come out by then… or I might just have to wait!! :/
7. To ease my wait until then, I will buy an Apple iPhone… There, I’ve said it! :)
8. I will now try to update this a LOT more often (3 times a week is my personal minimum goal average).
9. Even though I haven’t been updating here, I have been trying to keep my Twitter somewhat updated… And oh, I did upload some pictures of where I’m staying to my Flickr! :)
10. Thank for reading this. I know it’s personal stuff, but after all that’s what makes blogging such a social part of life. :)

PS: Yes, I always wanted to make a “10-item-list” blog post… ;)
PS2: I’m getting the iPhone tomorrow :D YEY (had it sent on next day shipping! ;))
PS3: I just (09/23 2am) edited this post to get the links working again… Safari 3 beta is acting very weird with the wordpress editor… And FF had some issues aswell… Edited on Camino 1.5.1 with no problems ;) (I’m loving it so far… If I can only get some of my FF extensions here… ;))
