Little Rich did a great vlog about having his gas boiler serviced and the comments led me to say. I don't think I would like that guy servicing my boiler and I doubt she would let him anyway! This is the reaction wqhen I told my wife what I had said!

Three truths and one lie

Here are four statements about me. Three of them are true and one is a lie can you figure out which one is the false one?

Bathing baby Digs.

My daughter Holly came up with the idea for this video.She also told me where to position the camera, which doors to go into and when to come out and directed the final "scene"

I've found an interesting new video web site.

I have just been uploading some of my videos to a new (to me) web site where I can earn revenue from them straight away. No longer will I need to wait to become a partner on You-Tube to earn from my hard work. OK so I imagine the number of people who actually get to see my vid's. will be a lot less but at least I will be earning from every view.

On You-Tube I am averaging around the 75 - 100 hits per video but it doesn't get me anywhere, where as on this site that number of views could possibly allow me to be a full time video maker and do what I enjoy doing the most.

I think this will give me the incentive to create more videos and/or vlogs about my life and also allow me to make editing software tutorials, which are currently done to death on You-Tube.

By having the ability to link my page/channel or whatever it's called to Facebook, You-Tube and lots of other places then it will be easy for my friends to find me and follow my work on here.

So what is this amazing site called?

BlipTV.

It's free to join, there are no view counters on the videos (so there is none of the YT style snobbery) You can't "rate" videos so this stops the same kind of thing and I'm hoping it will take my work to a new audience who will appreciate it and not just hate or troll for the sake of it.

Come and check me out at

http://iandigs.blip.tv

So I've hit a creative dead end!

As it says in the title.

It's been almost four weeks since I last made a "proper" video! OK so I've done a few little test bits and an edit of someone else's work but I really have hit that "wall". Everyone says it happens to us all and it won't last but you know, when you're going through it, it feels like you've reached the end of the road and you will never be able to make another video or vlog again. It can be really scary to think that something you have done so easily, something that has been so natural can suddenly just stop!

Capt Jac.

Even Capt. Jac has abandoned me

In his own words: "It seems old Digs's brains have mutinied against him. In my opinion there's a bit to much space in the old treasure chest, if you get my meaning. If I had my way I'd make him walk the plank, I would".

"He brought me here from my ship and now he leaves me like an old sea dog with nothing more to do than a cast off on some God forsaken island".

Prof. Noel Sallat

Professor Noel Sallot Has his own theories

"I do believe that is a simple case of Long Over obscured Neuro Invicular Exercise or L.O.O.N.I.E. for short. In my opinion Mr Digs has for some time now suffered from Inactive Desire In Operational Tendencies or I.D.I.O.T. as I like to call it".

Neil, of course, has his own ideas!

Neil

"Hey man just chill out, Come and share one of my herbal ciggies. They always make me feel much calmer and happier! 

Yeah man".

Ozzy

Ozzy only has one word to say about it!

Shaaaaaarrrrrooooooooonn!

So there you have it.

It seems I can still come up with the usual rubbish but to actually get it on to video is something else.

Take care,

Ian ;~)

My latest video

This is my latest video uploaded to You-Tube.
