U.S. VISA

Back in May last year, thats 2010 for any time travellers that might be reading this, or incase you missed the time stamp. I applied for a visa, from the Visa Bureau so i could take a holiday (Vacation for you Americans) to California in June of last year, wait did i mention it was last year already............. i did..........ok.


Anyway, this visa was something like £30 (thats about $45 for you Americans) and i needed it from June 21st to the 28th, of June (For you people who are clearly not paying attention to this blog, you know who you are).


So, i receive an eMail, from the visa bureau, actually i get one every month saying the same thing but it only accord to me to write this blog now, just after i deleted the eMail that i received earlier today.


If i ramble, please let me know so i can ignore you.


Anyway, i read the eMail again, before i pressed 'Command/Shift and Backspace' (On a Mac) (Mac's RULE) doing that removes the eMail from the serves completely, so if you have any eMails you want rid of forever and own a Mac and use the Mail app, then do that, if you have a PC, running 'cough' Windows 'cough' then your pretty much screwed, oh well happy days.


Wow, i went really off topic, *Shakes fist at Microsoft* sorry, back on track, anyway i read this eMail again and its telling that my Visa, which i used to go to California last year (2010 for you time travellers) is still valid??? sure ok, wow a £30 ($45) goes a long way, but get this, its valid until May, next year, thats May 2012 for the time travellers.


Man you time travellers need a calendar or something, or a watch with date and time functions, even better if it changes the channel on your TV, oh wait they don't have TV's in the future, apparently they don't last beyond the mid-21st century. Its true, so says Captain Jean Luc Picard (#StarTrek #TNG #NerdsUnite) of the USS Enterprise NCC 1701-D/E.


Where was i.............?


Hold on, i need to read my own blog to figure out where i was going with this thing, hang on..........


Oh yeah thats right, a £30 ($45) Visa to visit the USA for a week, is still fucking valid, DUDE if i'd of known i would have stayed, and pretended to be an Australian backpacker.

Safari and iTunes to merge?

Just read this on www.macrumors.com;

"Three Guys and a Podcast claims that Apple is working to merge its iTunes application into its Safari browser later this year, creating a single application for browsing web and media content.
Apple may be preparing a massive move that will propel Safari from niche browser to market leader. The move to merge Safari and iTunes into one software solution appears long in the works, which may arrive this fall at Apple's usual iPod special event.
According to the report, one reason for the push is to boost Safari's market share among Internet browsers, where Apple has yet to crack the 5% mark. Tying iTunes into Safari, it is argued, would likely bring a significant boost to the company's share of the browser market as consumers turn to the integrated environment.
It is believed that Safari will be the only browser able to access iTunes, as iTunes is built into the browser itself. "Moving iTunes organizational side-bar into Safari isn't a monumental task" claimed a source, adding "Safari would skyrocket in use as a result of integrating the software titles together."
We are highly skeptical of the claim for a number of reasons, including significant reservations due to the rumor's source, which has in the past appeared to base its claims on significant amounts of speculation."






Ok, all i have to say on this is this, first Safari is glitchy as it is, and iTunes takes forever these days to boot up because my iMac is at least 4 years old, so if they merge both these apps together i'm not sure i'll ever be able to use either app properly again.


iTunes is so bloated that a Mac as old as mine take forever to load, even switching from Home to films or TV shows and apps takes ages, do i really want my web browser to slow down as well?


I've only been using Mac's a about 5 years, but i do know that Apple seem to test all the new App's and iOS firmware's on the newest products, so the older, slower products suffer, and so do their users.


As a VLogger i use Final Cut Express to edit and finish my videos, but i can't export a video and and have more then 2 apps open at a time, god forbid using iTunes, but i might not be able to use Safari if this is true, All i can really do on my Mac is surf and send and receive eMails,even watching videos on Youtube is bad, even once the videos have completely buffered or streamed, they still stutter when i watch them, that is if i'm exporting a video, which is something that i do every day.


Plus, exporting videos does take about 4 to 5 hours these days, and these videos are only 10'ish minutes long.


So, Apple, if you merge Safari and iTunes. I'm screwed, so thanks for thinking about your users who have older equipment, yea, thanks a butch.


I am trying to get an brand new iMac, full spec, but thats a long way off, seeing as i'm unemployed right now, and my first priority once i'm working again is to clear my fucking credit card (HSBC are evil).


So i guess i've had my rant, nighty night.

WTF............

I've been trying to sort out my websites blog crap out for the last few days and now i'm about ready to give up.


I wanted to have full control and not be on yet another Google platform, but it doesn't seem like i have much of a choice.


So here i am writing in a blog that no ones reads.


Not that people actually visited my website mind.........


But hey, at least here i can embed my youtube videos.


And update from my iPhone.


So i guess i'll be here, yet again, and maybe just give up altogether on the whole daily updates on my own site :(  


I'll be using my site www.fiskfilm.co.uk to simply embed my videos then.


BULLOCKS




But again, i have to say, it might be a better idea staying here, will, at least until something better comes along.........


That i can afford.......


But at least my updates are getting better...



You see, in 2008 i made two blogs

In 2009 12,
