Working at night in a campsite. It is a little bit boring but the job has to be done. It's a 12 hour shift and I shall be very glad to get back to my bed when I get home. It is very difficult to change from a daytime routine into a night routine I've got two nights here working at the weekend. The picture that I have included is from a snapshot of the Wonders of Life by Brian Cox. Excellent Television programme

Yet another social network to look after.

My day alone in the house and a chat about wild boar in the forest and snakes on the door step.

Video going viral because it is silly

I have a chainsaw which I really must get and sell because it is sitting in the garage doing nothing. The only trouble is is that it is very difficult to actually start and I wished I hadn't bought in the first place. The electric one that I bought to replace this one is so much easier to deal with. My mom tells me she's going to buy herself an iPad mini and I'm saying that she might be as well to wait until April. There is a chance that Apple will come out with a version 2 of the device in April or May. I make a mention of the crazy Americans and their love for guns and shooting people and how I wouldn't like to live in a post-apocalyptic zombified America.

My dog likes to eat roasted car shit. My car battery is on its last legs and I need to shopping for bread. Editing a manuscript needs an app that tracks changes. Pages does a good job of that task.

I got a new car radio for my birthday and it was easy to install. I also talk about ArtRage which is a good paint app for iPad. Not a bad day today, when the sun is shining !

Richard Briers was a really good comedy actor and in fact a good actor all around, including Shakespeare and other hard dramas. He died yesterday and I will always remember him being here in the comedy she is called "The Good Life". I have been making videos over the weekend for YouTube for the Wizardgold channel. I made one video which was about how to use Amadeus Pro to record audio from your Mac which was in response to a question from a viewer. I made another one about how to use gestures in the application ArtStudio and also had to make a custom brush. That should be a really useful video because the documentation for the application is sadly lacking in terms of telling you how to make a custom brush. I also mention that I use services such as scoop .it and story to promote my videos. What you can do is to bring in other sources to put together with your videos and tweets and web articles. I submitted the feed for this Audioboo to iTunes so hopefully my fans will be able to follow this macro pod

I am on a trip to get provisions for the week. Chat about shops closing and the app Nisus Writer Pro with regard to editing books. Five minutes of waffling about my stuff. I also mentioned lemons and preserving them in salt in a jar.

A classroom of kids doing the Harlem Shake in Girona. Talking about adding custom brushes in ArtStudio on the iPad.

I will be in school tomorrow being an actor with the tourism students. I will have to pretend to be unhappy with some aspects of a hotel and they will have to sort me out. I mention Valentines day because there will be activities based on the theme. Today I am testing Drafts which looks like it might be a useful app after all. I can use it to create text files in drop box by using special actions. Works alright, amazingly.

When you have been without your Internet for most of the day, you can understand why some people would say that having Internet is a basic human right. I thought at first the problem was due to a virtual private network that I was using that was not functioning properly. I spent at least an hour fiddling and twiddling with the settings for the VPN. It was when I checked the phone and the phone was also not working that confirmed the problem was elsewhere. So I took the dog out for a walk and went to find the technical guys of the telegraph pole to ask them when they would get it working again for me. It took a couple of hours and a second visit to them to get the job fixed and finished. Now I have Internet again and I can smile once more.

Talking about the application procreate and making videos. Also talking about how I'm having difficulty with my computer and in particular the Drobo. Made a mention of the big news for the delay which is that the Pope is quitting probably got fed up with having to apologise for all those bad priests and what they have been doing to children. The bloke looks like a snotty little weasel and has been in the Hitler youth is not a good thing and there will be someone else just as deluded to take his place.

On being let down by hardware and software.

Saw the movie 'Flight' with Denzel as the drunk. Great acting! So talking about being teetotal. Drawing on the iPad using Procreate and ArtStudio

Walking the dog as per usual. Talking about people that tell porkies with their avatars. Women and men too using photos about 10 yrs out of date. Mentioned Bambuser and Stickam.

I made a carrot soup and a carrot cake in between learning about keywords in Final Cut Pro

I have been watching too much TV and enjoying the stories of Silent Witness and Ripper Street. Pinnacle is great for editing video on iPad
