I know that it isn't really all that important but I just wanted to mention that I've started working on the AMV clip again after not really doing that much. For the last few weeks I got sick for a while and tried to catch up on an online Linux course I'm taking (which I only have a limited time access to) so I have been distracted. I almost have enough stuff to present a clip but I need just a little more time before I can do that.

I just hope that the members of the forum that I promised that I would have something to show them don't think I have given up and forgotten about it...

Cool. Do you have a YouTube channel? Ill subscribe to it if you do.

Im starting some new projects as well. One of the Sites that I was posting on (Niume) is ending its Monitization program at the end of the Month. So Ill be out of there soon

Can you clue me in on as to what this clip will be about ???

No panic, take your time...

Hey DC!
Good to see you, was wondering what happened to you.
You've taken on a lot, and there's a learning curve with it... believe me, I understand.

Hi! Be well and take it one day at a time.

I have no clue on how to use or run Linux, I have heard that it is a really secure OS.

I guess I should mention that I still want to create a blog and start posting stuff, but I realized there was a little more leg work to it then I realized..even sometimes in just making one post. Perhaps I should check out other peoples blogs and try communicating with them before worrying about doing too much on a blog myself. :D

I will create a Youtube channel when I have something to upload, although now that I think about it I could just create one and add my favorites to it in the meantime.

It's kind of like an AMV, anime music video, except I take various video game, movie, anime clips and mix them together.

To get some idea here is a link to a video done for Skrillex which is one of the sources of inspiration for me to do my own. However I should mention since I have little to no experience in this so I can't promise mine will be anywhere as good as it:

'Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites' by Skrillex

Thanks. Thanks.

As a person with ADHD I should know better by now than to have too many pots on the stove, but usually I try to plan to do too many things in order to force myself to at LEAST try and get a few of them done. Of course even this doesn't guarantee that the really important stuff will get done in time or even ever...

Luckily I have had some experience with Linux before but studying for one of their certifications is another issue. Sometimes I wish I could have specialized in just ONE thing and been able to do just that instead of trying to be the generalist that I have become. However when I use to be a specialist was that once the work was no longer available it was much harder to find another job or type of work to do. I guess if one could be a specialist in one thing without that problem it would be a good thing.

I have a backup computer with Ubuntu on it I use when traveling, I really like it, but I can't use it all the time as I have some old specialty programs that only work in IE Don't ask

Some supply chain logistics stuff from the late 90's? I thought everyone had moved away from those explorer based programs.

leg work is right!
i was offered twice to have a forum of my own and they would run it for me...
but im incredibly lazy and had no interest in doing that.
some days i dont even feel like talking or typing.
just reading.

so what is AMV anyway?

Linux is an operating system that is based off of Unix (an OS that was created at AT&T in the 60s or 70s I believe) and between Unix/Linux, they are I believe the main operating systems used by anything other than Microsoft Windows. In a nutshell anything other than personal computer and some server computers supporting those desktop computers, nearly everything else is Linux/Unix and/or networking devices such as the ones made by Cisco. The reason many people don't know about Unix or Linux is that they mostly just interact with desktop./personal computers and/or don't even know they device they are using uses a flavor of Linux. I believe kindle/android devices operate using a type of Linux as well as well as many other tablets and smart phones.
