Blog - Innovation & Insanity

A personal blog of Richard Anderson, aka TheRooster. Do you know me from somewhere? Have I offended you? Try not to take what I say to heart. This is the place where I will (try to) spill the beans and be a little more selfish than I already am... and talk about myself :D

New You Tube Segment

So one of the biggest problems I've had with my You Tube accoutn was finding material... well... thanks to a conversation I had earlier today... I have found it...

Here's the intro... not acutally made the first video yet

Brit Dictionary For Beginners

Too many times have I sat in a conversation only to have someone say "huh?" at a word... so here is my attempt to explain some common British terms and thier usage. The segment will no doubt contain inappropriate language at times... but often that may be required (an appropriate warning will be displayed on offending videos)


Thats it for now... hope to bring you more cool stuff soon

All Quiet on the Western Front

or is it? Well those of you, and I hate to draw attention to it, but those of you who read the forums... specifically the TrekUnited 07 Meet in Europe this year will know that Tim has done the un-imaginable... and broken a sacred silence...


QUOTE
And we will have some other interesting and very cool news coming within the next couple of weeks that I am sure you will all find pretty cool.. I know I do... I am really excited about it to be honest..



Swiftly followed by Bill

This is the stuff that gets you in trouble, Tim, do we have to gag you?



Well people... I am here to tell you... it is absolutly true.... Tim is opening up a used car dealership on the south of Florida, and hopes you'll buy his cars...

But seriously... it is far from quiet on the western front...

We're currently in the process of arranging our next members meeting, which unfortunatly is having to suffer from our own schedules. Specifically... mine It is important for us to hold a general staff meeting before we hold the next members meeting... but after the last one... and unfortuantly the times best for our members are while I work So it looks like we're shaping up for the 12th of May... though the other staff dont know that yet... cos I havent told them

Projects is slowly pulling together... not as fast as we'd like though... but this cannot be helped. For now we're going to focus on getting SE focused as best we can. People don't realise how difficult a task that is when everyone demands better ideas than letter writing... and when everyone demands that these ideas and everything else for the campaign comes from the staff of TrekUnited. This has never been the way the campaign has been run. Frankly, this upsets me... SaveEnterprise has always been a member driven initiative... Even the massive Fund the Future effort was member driven. All the ideas and plans and work came from the members. Yes you heard about it from the on high staff... but the members were the ones doing the work... and it saddens me when people forget this. [/frankness]

Sorry for the mini rant there

SciFiUnited front is coming along slowly... it's new site is almost finished... and we hope to bring that to you soon.

SciFiStudios - Not forgotten about I know... it's been a little slower than any of us wanted... the site doesn't completely work... and I can only apologise... over and over and over. It's a tough industry... but we continue to herald support from different sources, which is more than encouraging... the site is being worked on, and we hope to bring you a fully working site when it's done. We have a team of people working on it... as well as a team of people lined up to keep it active... which I think has been the problem with the current site... inactivity. The site is CSS and XHTML compliant too... which I can only presume is a good thing?


AND FINALLY... well... for TU updates anyway... What was Tim talking about? Let me assure you... it isn't SciFiStudios Take 2... and by that I mean a project that will take longer to get off the ground than anyone hoped... It's an exciting project... and something a little more immediate... some might say too immediate... and Tim says within the next couple of weeks... Personally... I would feel better if we had a "within a few days" projection... In fact... I'd feel even better if we had a "Keep an eye on us on Monday"... but I won't say anything... the boss said a couple of weeks... which is much safer than saying Monday... or within a few days... so couple of weeks it is.


AND NOW... REALLY FINALLY... I had a few people contact me recently and say "NOOOO... DONT STOP DOING THE VIDEOS"... I looked at them like they might have some kinda wierd fetish involving my videos... but regardless... I did assure them that I wouldn't be stopping them entirly... they just wont be arriving as fast as I'd necessarily like....



So that's it for now... I hope to bring you more updates as soon as I can.

Ciao for Now... and have a clucking good day (See what I did there )
