Theme Change

Tom — Sun, 06 Feb 2011 15:22:38 +0000

You may have noticed that the blog looks somewhat different. It’s just because Iv changed the theme. Times change so there… i got bored with the old one to be honest.

Peace out,

Oh, thanks YouTube… not!

I’m quite annoyed at youtube at the moment. As you may or may not have noticed, non of my youtube video’s are working due to copyright infringement. Well surely that’s your fault Tom? I hear you ask. Well let me tell you what happened…

Sky 1 emailed me with video’s of Karl Pilkington’s An Idiot Abroad, to upload to my youtube account. I’m pretty sure it was Sky for reasons I wish not to discuss, but then for some reason, my videos got blocked and my account suspended for copyright infringement!

Very Annoyed, will see what I can do and keep you posted…

Im in 2nd year?! Already!

Tom — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 18:43:27 +0000

It’s been 4 weeks since i’v started back at college, and I have to say, its been great (minus the week when everybody, including myself, seemed to be ill!)

I can’t beleived i’m a 2nd year already! First year when super fast. but im enjoying 2nd year a lot more than 1st year! Probably because we get to pick all our own options n stuff

We all got free tickets to watch the Les Mis 25th Anniversary Concert at the 02 a couplke of weeks back and I have to say it was the best show i’v ever seen! I think Cameron Mackintosh is some sort of patron of the college, so thats why we got free tickets, Im not quite sure if that was right, but I think everyone was very grateful to have witnessed such a spectacular event!

I have now received a copy of the film, Boy Keeps Swinging, in which I played the lead role, so if anybody want to watch it let me know. I might be travelling to France in January to a film festival, which would be cool

Well done to the guys from studios who performed on x factor on Sunday!

Peace x

Laziness … or convenience? (New Videos)

Tom — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 13:43:18 +0000

OK, I’ll admit it, Iv become really lazy in the past couple of weeks. Or am i just doing what’s more convenient to me? I don’t know, I’ll let you decide… (its probably a bit of both to be honest!)

For my last couple of videos, I haven’t gone through the rigmarole of recording each take, cut it the video, re shooting, editing, adding background music etc etc, I just been using youtube’s record from web cam feature, its a lot easier! Also, I don’t have to go through the confusion of video sizes as it automatically sets your camera to fill the dimensions of the player. I find it a lot easier, even if i have to shoot the whole video about 15 times to get it right! The thing is, its not really a problem because you can easily refresh the page and start again if you mess up! I suppose the disadvantages of it are that its not as sharp or funky as it would be with lots of quick edits, but i don’t mind that!

I think in that case, its using what’s convenient, but I think the fact i haven’t posted a video, or on my blog for days its definitely laziness. So here are my 2 latest videos… (p.s. i currently have 99 subscribers, please help me get to 100!)

Developing sites for a younger audience

Tom — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:22:29 +0000

Let me apologize now for not posting for a while. As you may, or most likely not, know, I am currently developing the next release of Stage Door Mag (re-launching Sept 4th)!

I haven’t had time to sleep, never mind blog posting. Anyways, I recently sent an e-mail to web celeb Chris Pirillo and I didn’t really get an answer, so and I want to see what your opinion is on the same topic…

I am currently developing a community site for young performers. In a business meeting recently, we got onto a conversation of how much the site should be moderated, let me give you an example…

I don’t want people joining with rude usernames, posting rude pictures and content etc. because the website is aimed at younger people.

But then I don’t want the hassle of having to approve users, comments etc. before they are live on the site for 2 reasons…

1) Because the user experience would be sluggish
2) The time taken to sit and approve every comment and user and picture would take up too much time

How would you address the situation?

If you have read on this far, thanks

The New Google Images – What do you think?

Tom — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 13:30:25 +0000

So Google have rolled out yet another update for their google image search, and I have to say, I’m really impressed!

Images seem to, on the whole, load faster, and the whole process seems much more intuitive.

I especially enjoy the fact that they show 18 PAGES PER PAGE! If you don’t know what I mean, check it out yourself!

So… what do you think, like it or not, would love to get your opinions.

Peace x
