Chig's Blog (61)

I figure this probably won't be seen by anyone... unless I push it out through the mail system... but I was thinking about in a year period no longer paying for the Ark.  It seems that some folks have moved on, some folks are not getting along, some folks grew up, and some folks are smarter than the guy keeping a candle lit. 

My plan was to send out notification to everyone that the Ark has a  year,  I've actually been practicing with AI software to convert and upscale old videos to…

Here is a story about a web video hosting service we all once knew:

How Google had a hand in what happened:

Here’s to a year in which we can laugh at the silliness we are while on our journeys. Here’s to finding light and being able to admit when we don’t possess all the answers. Here’s to recognizing the brevity of time we have and being able to utilize it in the most meaningful and fulfilling ways. Here is to being and doing all we hope and expect from others. Here’s to the rewarding of empathy and effort we see in each other with the same, even when we don’t see it in the same light. Here’s to…

Please remember to be sensitive to those in other countries who may not celebrate the American holiday.

Thank you,

The management.…

I think this was the same user from Vloggerheads named Phantom Vision, but I can't be sure.   If anyone has knowledge as to what lead to a suspension on the Ark, please message me.   It is a question asked to which I don't have an answer.

Thanks

Chig.

I am still seeing some issues with The Ark regarding permissions.   It would appear NIng is still buggy since migrating some of there server info.   So sorry guys.   You may notice that not logging into the Ark may get you a slightly different experience than being logged in.   This is not by Syd's  design, and I have not altered any permissions or setting from the way Syd set up the Ark. I promise you.

Let me know of any issues that really hinder your ability to share on this…

Hi all.

We had a video and comments go missing recently.   Anyone know anything about it?   Just trying to determine if there are site issues in the code, or just some fat fingering.

Stay warm and toasty mis amigos.

Let's kick 2017 off with some new videos.   :-)

It seems to have taken Ning a better part of a week to get some site issues fixed.   I am not sure they have been communicative though with the creators of the various sites.   I get that, because when at work I was involved in upgrade or downtime.. you worked the problem / plan  first then communicated once everything that happened was understood, and a root cause analysis or summation of downtime was underway following the event.   As a forewarning was lacking, I am guessing this was not a…

I think this is good news....

The company which bought Ning out a few years back... (probably around the time that Ning development ceased and support started to flounder)  has closed its doors abruptly.

Here is the article:

Mode Media shuts down.

After several hours having taken Ning down, Ning came back, and…

The old boat seems sturdy and continues to float here on Ning... so no worries (breathe easy) ,   However as Captain, I have  responsibility for the safety of the crew and  of the crew's quarters.   I am looking around for the life boats should we run into any rough / choppy waters.   Anyone know anything about the following sites, or any other suggestions?…

Ahoy!  Just an update... The process to keep the Ark afloat is underway.   I haven't told the current captain this yet, but I am going to throw the leg irons on her to make sure she doesn't jump overboard.  I hope she will stay on as an administrator.    Thought I might start with a request to maybe change the motto from "Whatever floats your boat..." to something new to reflect our current struggles.   Something like "I think we are gonna need a smaller boat".  LOL.

Post your motto…

I love this woman's voice.    I love Portishead.   So I love when she covers portishead.  BTW this Friday Lisa Hannigan has a new CD out.   YAY!   later this fall in Berlin, both She and Damien Rice will be performing at the same 5 day event.  I am so hoping they might bury the hatchet and do one or two songs together.   But I wont hold my breath.

Tobie2 found this artist.  Thought I would share a little Christmas awww from her.

I just stumbled across that Felix Baumgartner doesn't hold the record for highest free fall anymore.

Score one for the Amerian nerds.   Sorry Austrian athletes.

... I thought I would give y'all some extra time to pull the vids together.

Imagine that there is a video playing at your funeral  or wake  in the future.  You edit it.   How would you edit  or want to be remembered?   

Send Jose some love if you are on youtube....

Never heard this combination before.... pretty cool.

Sorry to be scarce as of late.   Lots of things happening on my end.

Anyhow, I can't quite speak on this at the moment but I lost one of my furry children today.
