General stuff Hmm, was just on my twitter page and it wasn’t showing my update total, so naturally i took a screen shot.
However they seem to be back now! yay! (at presenter i have tweeted 1,413 times.
And im sure theres a lot more to come!
So in true blogger style of self promotion.
I don’t usually comment much about twitter, although i really should talk more about it. Particularly as it is fast becoming a very big part of mine and thousands of other peoples daily Internet lives, twittering every thought, meeting and encounter. It really is rather interesting how things like this can completely change people daily lives and out looks at the world around them… and the rest of us by simply sharing what we do with the world.
Also i am sure people have noticed that the few posts i have done in the past couple of months have been me having a rant about YouTube which mainly is because YouTube is a big part of my online life and where i am getting a lot of my content both news, and entertainment from, as well of as course all my news feeds on my iPod which has increased my news consumption ten fold since getting it, i love it.
I have also started a new project online, which i won’t talk about much hear as i plan on devoting a whole post to it, hopefully will be fun, and already it seems pretty cool ^^.
Now to talk about the main topic of this post!
Vlogging every day in April
vlogging every day in April, I thought i would give it ago, so seen a few people talking about the challenge of making a vlog everyday in April, and as i want to make more YouTube videos it sounds like a plan, so i hope to be interesting…
Check out my YouTube Channel at http://youtube.com/user/dansgalaxyand also don’t forget to check out the collab channel i started a while ago – http://youtube.com/user/fiveawesomewebgeeks
Its all good, and definitely a bit of fun, that’s life i suppose.
Night all, or should that be morning?

General stuff So quite a few things have changed recently from my birthday, thats right I am now 17 and it seems like at a bit of a turning point…
College in a lot of ways I need to get on top of college to be able to progress with other things. The end of my first college year is in sight and summer is getting ever closer, I have always had problems getting head down when I am with others, far to distracting for my liking and the choice of just sitting in the corner and ripping my nose to pieces on a metaphorical grind stone takes a lot of will power not to mention trying to maintain the balance of being social to peers and friends bit getting the work done. Maybe I should try alternating every other lesson I am unspcialable and try and catch with some of my coursework. We shall see I guess.
Just a mention most of this post was written on a cool little app on my iPod on way home from college, always wanted to be able to write, well touch some posts and maybe this will mean I can start knocking more posts out. 
A lot of the projects which I do are up in the air at the minute some clients are obviously being hit by the recession and are putting payments off, which is disappointing and then of course we have the radio station I do some stuff at which currently I am not really doing much with at the moment which is quite disappointing… And now it appears I will be resting from the Saturday evening show, not quite sure what people are thinking but hey! O well, each unto their own. Also been told I will be training others and currently waiting to have a meeting with couple of people so will see if anything materializes from this.

General stuff Playing with my ipod touch which I am getting for birthday I want to have it now but mum wants it back till my birthday doh LOL. Currently writing this using a cool little wordpress app I install and I am very suprised how good the autocorrect feature is makes things a bit easy when using the stupid touch pad key thing. Overall I am quite impressed with it seems great LOL will post soon hopefully and will probably doing a lot more tweeting and mini blogging on here with this so big woop!!

General stuff Admittedly i am a little late posting this, all the hard core bloggers got this out on the day.
So yesturday someone at google made a “human error”…
Unfortunately (and here’s the human error), the URL of ‘/’ was mistakenly checked in as a value to the file and ‘/’ expands to all URLs.
Okay i will explain a little, most people at some point or another when searching google came across a site which said this site is harmful and on click you are shown a google page telling you the following site may contain malware, well google works with StopBadware.org to keep this list of “badware” sites, but someone messed up when they were changing the location of said list and ended up with every site being marked as bad.
I wont go into masses of detail because I’m sure there are already a lot of blogs which have done the same, including the Google Blog i will stick some pingbacks and links to some good posts about it below…
Now i have a sort of mixed view on this, on one hand i think, hehe this is great it shows humans still work at google and it isn’t perfect, on the other i think… this is google for god sakes! how could this happen?! Although i am sure while it hasn’t been done publicly I’m sure the “human error” would have had a good telling off…

General stuff Okay, so as you can see my last post was a rather poorly worded rant because my post about YouTube turn down the lights feature was totally removed from google. But now its back… and its 3rd position!!
So yay… Thanks Google… still would like to know why it totally vanished for a day :s
Will hopefully be making video tomorrow for 5awg so watch it
