Its February 29th 2012 and its a blog day..

Yes, its a blog day, soon to be a video day I think :-)  just got one in the edit; and I think its a great fun little program to play with - my opinions of course. This is a little different as I am mostly blogging from work but today was so busy (ish) that have resorted to blogging from home; well least I get to do it from my new kewl keyboard unlike the crappy one I have to deal with at work.

So, how has/is everyones day going/been today? Mine was busy with some kewl bits in it. And some less good bits although a meeting I wanted to have today was postponed. On a plus point I have a new venture launched - just hope it goes somewhere ...

So to give you a heads up. For a number of blogs now I have talked about working from home and all that. I was alluding to the fact that I wanted to work from home and have been trying to discover the best solution for that. I came up with one business idea that may or may not work.. I won't go into the details of it but will say TechnologistPR. Simple as that hehe. Now this isn't a full time role for me at the moment; its an attempt at building up something to move into a full time role and to get paid for something I do at the moment... i.e. product reviews.

It is something I enjoy and think I am good at (and co-starter too).But as part of my journey I will take you along for the ride - for those thinking of starting up something. I will say one thing and that is this is not the only WFH I plan to start. Once one if off the ground and running there is a second one I also want to pursue. Both of these are passions of mine and so will be enjoyable - but to make success I believe you need to have more than one business running.

On another note. I have something special in for review at the moment. Its from Autodesk (go look up what they do if don't know already) and is quite expensive to buy. I have a 3 year license review copy and once figured out I will be creating and editing a nice video. It may work out to a series of vids just like want to do with Reason and Studio One. So just watch this space.

O, let me load a quick first attempt animation done with it for you to view - its of my second channel and blog in name :


Well, I think that maybe it for today - well unless I get that video cut..

MicroBlog - Well almost

Two in one day, kind of a record for me. But these are my own opinions and I sometimes feel the need to write them down, inflicting them on you, the readers :-)

Just a thought that has been rattling round in my head for some time now. Its to do with what I want to call microblogs - so things like status updates on facebook, twitter, etc. Now if your like me you may update your facebook status once every 6 months.. Maybe couple twitter messages in a day, or less. So these could not contribute to a full blog.

However, are you one of these that write 50 twitter messages a day? Change your status at least once a day on facebook? So do you contribute to a blog? Combine all those updates and what you have produce may look like a blog.. Go on, you know you want to do it; you can post as a reply to this blog entry hehe.

Personally I do love to read a good blog from time and I do love to write one; though some may have difference in opinion on if mine is good or not. but I must say I do love a good video blog or vlog too. Quick delivery of content and some can be interesting. Add bit of background music, few effects and hooked.

You will see that a number of my entries are videos I have created on my YouTube channels; mainly reviews. I have 2 channels I use now which are Netroman28 (like this blog) and TheGeekFiles. This latter one I decided to create to do reviews, techie vids and the like. It means that Netroman28 maybe left open to blog hehe. sure subscribers will like that hehe.

Personally I love it. Wither it be a written blog, like this, or vlog. Why? Because it allows us into a strangers life for just mere moments. To get insight into them; and ourselves as we may find we're not the only one that thinks that way...

So there we have it, my thoughts. Vlogs are good, blogs are good. Insight into yourself is good. Tech reviews, products and the like are excellent. And so says the blog of Netroman hehe.

If you want to show support or want to get in on the techie stuff please do go check out my channels on YouTube Netroman28 and TheGeekFiles. Maybe we can all have a bit of fun together
