tfw a goofy goober with the mental capacity of terry davis's bird tries to make writeups on the internet
I can't tell you how many times I've thought about good ideas for things, whether it be writeups or even videos for that matter, but then when I go to the computer I've already forgotten what I wanted to do. It's like my mind not only draws a blank, but its almost as if some glowie secretly living in my brain that I don't know about is deleting thoughts from my head just to mess with me. Huh, maybe I should consider making a journal too, or have a way to quickly note things down when I'm on the move (yes i already tried deleting the glowie, thanks for asking). That way I can reremember things!
So oddly enough, I actually started this site to showcase the stuff I was already making on Vidlii. For those who don't know, Vidlii is an old youtube clone. There are many like it but Vidlii is my favorite so far. I knew going into this I'd want to do more than just that, but initially I wasn't so sure what I'd want to do going forward. I kinda just winged it and figured the rest will follow. Thing is even when I do figure out what ideas I want and what to do with them, it may be easier said than done to put them into action. For instance, I've never made flash animations before. I know they would be shit when I start out, but I don't mind that. What I do find kind of annoying is now I'm going to have to deal with WINE because I use GNU/Linux and I refuse to install Windows after not touching it with a 10 foot pole since about 2019. Maybe Flash 8 will be easy to setup in WINE. According to cidoku, someone I met on vidlii, it is.
A direct quote from the site: I recommend Macromedia Flash 8 (the one I use) and earlier versions because they run perfectly on Wine and older computers, are very light on resources and look nice, can be activated cleanly offline, have many powerful features without being bloat, and have almost two decades of support from the community.
Well that sounds promising. I'll have to give that a shot and see if I can whip up something cool with this some day. Anyways, its my goal to improve my writing and video skills. I think I can take this site pretty far if I really want to, but if some bird ideas is the best I can do, thats okay with me. It's my site after all.
