Changing the sites path

Hey guys,

So I’ve done some research and found that people seem to love the film creation tips i post :) so from now on I think I’m going to create film tutorials tips etc maybe on editing :D

I’l do videos + step by step tutorials.

Based on these things:

Search Terms
shot list
shotlist
shotliste
camera production
schedule icon

These were the most popular search terms!!!

So watch out world film tips away!

STOP Sopa, Wait… CISPA?

I’ts been a few months since SOPA was ‘about’, There’s been a few new names for the same policy (Kind of). CISPA which is The CYBER INTELLIGENCE SHARING AND PROTECTION ACT.

There is a difference however, CISPA allows the US Government to hold all information you own from sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+. All this information will be shared with the CIA and National Security Agency, I know, It’s bloody rude!

Mike Rogers, The sponsored rep said an amended version of the bill would only enable companies and intelligence agencies to share information which is related to the follow:

  1. Cyber Security Purposes
  2. Investigation and Prosecution of cyber security crimes
  3. Protection of individuals from death and bodily harm (Threats etc I suppose)
  4. Child Pornography
  5. Protection of the national Security of the United States.

Now I completely agree with the Child Pornography and Protection of the national Security of the United States, These two sub-laws are completely understandable!

However, What if the US cocks up like they seem to usually do? I mean they are only human… What if they raid a 12 year olds house because they went on Hackforums?
Protection of individuals from death and/or bodily harm is a tough one to be honest, I mean what if the person brings it upon themselves? What if someone threatens someone else and shit hits the fan?

Also what constitutes a Cyber Security Threat? Booting a US server is hardly a threat.. it’s just an inconvenience. What about the case where the US Databases got hacked by a teenager?

Ok, Ok I understand the internet is a bit too ‘free’ in terms of dangers than can come from it. But what gives the US the right to monitor me? A British citizen. I’m not allowed to vote in their country so how is that fair?

It’s fairly unclear what’s going on at the moment but I do know this will pass…

 

Why I haven’t posted lately

Going to keep this short. I haven’t posted lately due to a certain website called

http://villavu.com/

This site has allowed me to learn A LOT of Pascal.

Snippet:

Procedure Antiban;
var
I: Integer;
CurrentCompassDegree: Extended;
begin
I := Random(1000);
case (I) of
0..99 :
begin
GameTab(tab_Stats);
HoverSkill(‘ccWoodcutting’, False);
GameTab(28);
end;
100..200 :
begin
SleepAndMoveMouse(7000 + Random(500));
MakeCompass(CurrentCompassDegree-18+Random(32));
end;
200..210 :
begin
GameTab(Tab_Stats);
MakeCompass(CurrentCompassDegree-2+Random(34));
Wait(3000 + Random(500));
GameTab(28);
end;
211..220 :
begin
BoredHuman;
MakeCompass(‘N’);
end;
221..300 :
begin
GameTab(Tab_Stats);
Wait(100 + Random(1000));
end;
end;
end;

Now what this little script does is choose a random number inbetween 1 and 1000 (Random everytime).
However, each of the functions it does has set numbers. For example, If it chooses a number between 0 or 99 it will begin that sequence.
Same for 100…200, I stopped at 300 because that means that for anything above 300 there isn’t antiban, Making it look more human like.

I can use 221…300+Random(Numberhere)) :

This will choose a variable between 221…300 AND a Random Number. Inside Numberhere I will insert the MAXIMUM Variable. For example: If I chose 50 it would be a random number between 1-50.

Google… Why you so dumb

So I tried starting a YouTube channel again. Google decided it would be wise to automatically add a Google + Account… now I thought this… is weird.

 

Not only am I refused to make the name custom but I am also refused to make a nickname and use that on my youtube channel… so my channel is to be called “Bradly Spicer”.
It’s a really annoying issue. Why can’t Google let me get on with it?

Other sites

I haven’t really spoken about my other websites… So I’m going to give a briefing now!

CheapSeo4u is an image I use on various forums to show that I have an understanding of how being professional can boost sales! On many forums such as Digitalpoint. I usually advertise my services with that logo on each page.
People will trust a image more than a person.

Lizardguru is a website my girlfriend owns, She works in a reptile shop part time and has a love for these creatures. So I decided to build her a website, something of a stress relief. She loves it. However it has started to decline due to school.

Halo 4 – What to expect

343 have just released a trailer for Halo 4. Not only is this FANTASTIC but what makes it even better is that they are deterring further away from ODST. It’s back to the Masterchief himself!

“trying to make every aspect of it bigger and better,”

Halo 4 was announced at last years E3 convention, but not much was said about it. Why? It could be because 343 had issues with bungie? or something along those lines. But what’s definitely certain is that they are looking for something different!

So what is going to happen in Halo 4? Well from what I’ve seen and heard theres a story behind the multiplayer now. Red Vs Blue has a story which isn’t about Rosterteeth! Weird to think about :)

Halo 4 is mostly about Master Chief, who is he? Whats his motive? Where’s he from?

“a threat that is beyond anything Master Chief has faced before.”

There has been much speculation as to if 343 can produce Halo 4 as amazing as the previous titles (Excluding ODST :P )
Halo 4 is set DIRECTLY after Halo 3 where Mastercheif confronts an ancient threat which threatens the universe. We thought the covenant were bad!

Multiplayer 

Halo 4 has branched back into the past, evading the ODST league and the halo wars game it has gone back to the original Battle Rifle which everybody grew to love.

There are rumours that the old Halo:CE (Halo 1) pistol has come back to, proving that multiplayer might be ‘rigged’ to some point.

They also have 2 new maps, one of which works in a clockwise direction making everything flow properly maybe helping creating the battle scenario? different areas having focused points.

 

Search Engine Optimisation – From Start to Finish

Basics

Ever wondered how this website maintains a constant flow of traffic?
Mostly through SEO and content. Bradsblog was announced on the Minecraft Forums to have been the easiest blog to read about ‘everything’ due to it’s simplicity.

Now, I guess what you really want to know is why is SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is important. Well it’s not. What’s important is that you create good quality content. Unique. Different. Not copied from another media form.
However once you have the good content, Appealing website and a reason for people to come back why would anyone visit it?

SEO allows the user to search a term in Google and find a well related site/link which uses the Google algorithm (Which can change). This basically means you need to use key terms inside your content. For example this blog post I will be using the key words: SEO, Search Engine Optimisation, Unique, Content, Different Content, Rank, Google, Number 1, #1

 

 

 

Social Networking

Social Networking is growing with popularity not only with the communication as it’s main purpose but with advertising in mind. Many companies like to advertise on Facebook because of the activity feed, for example: If Mr. Smith liked my Facebook page, everybody on his friends list would see this too.

Google + has this to, one thing we can’t forget is that Google +1 is not Google +

Similar to Facebook like and Facebook, they are linked however they are not the same thing.

Lots of business’ rush ahead and create pages etc without thinking ahead. They need to specify their niche, they also need to remind themselves constantly who their target audience is. Remember I don’t want to Offer SEO to a 12 year old who is interested in the next First Person Shooter.

However, I’m going to link you into a little secret. I originally made this website for personal use however when I started blogging about SOPA a few months ago I received next to no views. Then the media blew up the SOPA issue and it’s been a constant flow. So although I don’t Target directly to the haters and lovers of Government acts they still valued my other content. If your an SEO company and you have a spare bit of time making other content which can some how relate to SEO would be great! make a game teaching basic SEO? Kids don’t care about SEO but if the game is fun you will get views. Google will notice this and moving you higher in the rankings.

So are sites such as Google +, Facebook and Twitter all copies of each other?

On Page SEO:

On page SEO is the hardest bit in my opinion, Finding out your keywords for your niche is going to be difficult, there’s so much competition out there. Google has a tool to check the diversity of keywords etc : adwords.google.com

TO BE CONTINUED

 

Google Against SOPA

Yesterday was tough. But we pulled through 13 congressmen ended up pulling out because they were good enough for their woman

Everyone else is going to be a father to the WORST bill ever made. SOPA as has changed a lot of time and I personally believe until 18/01/2012 it was a DEFINITE losing battle, but now theres some light. All we need to do is have one more push. Spam their twitters. Call your government. It’s not a lost cause.

Google gets 4.5 million people to sign petition.

Google. The ‘Largest’ search engine online has announced it’s hatred for SOPA many times. Proving it would not only ruin the internet but many peoples lives.

on 18/01/2012 I wrote an article about SOPA and received over 300 views an hour. The same day Wikipedia and Reddit blacked out. Google asked its users to sign a petition in aid to stop SOPA and a lot of college kids spent all day getting angry at this. This is why the bill will be passed if it does. Because college kids lack the intelligence knower day’s to get a grasp on the good and the bad.

 

Google Petition Against SOPA

I guess what it is important is that SOPA and PIPA were proven to be ineffective by Google. It’s almost as if the government is listening for once!

“There’s no need to make American social networks, blogs and search engines censor the Internet or undermine the existing laws that have enabled the Web to thrive, creating millions of U.S. jobs,” the petition reads. “Too much is at stake -– please vote NO on PIPA and SOPA.”

on 18/01/2012 we shaped the internet.
the White House Blogged reports that 103,785 people signed petitions through the We The People website asking the president to protect a free and open Internet.

Will SOPA and PIPA mean anything to the UK

Do you live in the UK? YES? Well don’t think SOPA won’t affect you.

 

Let me explain it a little bit. You have a job in internet marketing and a lot of the sales are made from viral networking (The Use of Viral adverts on Social networks) Such as Youtube videos on Facebook, Wikipedia and Twitter. Now with SOPA in Effect you will stop having the ability to use these sites to advertise. Thus cutting JOBS.

So we have one thing for sure. SOPA and PIPA will end jobs. I thought the US wanted to create more jobs?

Next up is a little bit of trivia for you. The act was only made when somebody with a LOT of money stepped forward and wanted to invest it. Thus the band wagon started. All the Senators were thinking “Hmm if I get in on this, I can have that promotion + a split of the money earned”. Another Corrupt system eh?

What about Disney… they are backing SOPA. But why? It’s simple. Disney owns CNet one of many download sites which allows you to direct download from mirror sites rather than paying for the product, much like a torrent site minus the cloaking etc. Why can they do this? Because it is Disney.

Aren’t they suing themselves then? Technically yes. They will probably lose CNet if this bill passes,  However. Part of the bill states that any company suing for copyright will have the US Government and PIPA Bill support them with funds. Allowing Disney to not only transfer all money from CNet over to one company but have the government pay for everything AND then keep the rest of the ‘grant’ given to them by the US government.

So HOW DOES THIS EFFECT THE UK?

Well. Once jobs start going we will be at a loss, that’s quite obvious. But what really concerns me is that if a big organisation like Facebook and Twitter can be taken down by SOPA (Resulting in a worldwide closure). Why can’t one from the UK? if you link to any other site which is taken down you are liable to have your website taken down. whether or not you posted the content yourself.

Remember a lot of the web hosts + big companies are hosted in the US. This will effect you

Sites like Wikipedia have decided to blackout today. In protest to stop SOPA. However members have been addingStop SOPA Wikipedia Protest extensions to the URL’s to get by the block and in doing so allowing them to bypass the blocking.

The problem with this is that Wikipedia is fighting to keep the site running and members doing this are ruining the chance to stop SOPA.

SOPA – What’s going to happen?

So with the release of Cobalt…

So it’s new year.. I’m busier than ever.. lots of work to do. Planning a short film based around a Post-Apocalyptic world. Maybe a YouTube Series.. I’m not to sure. The editing will play a big part, I plan on editing it in Adobe After Effects…
Minimum special effects will be used as for props I’m going with a futuristic cowbow look… possibly slightly steam punk.

Most of it will be shot in fields.

As for a second project. I’m getting a new desktop and will be creating a sidescroller. Survival. But EPIC is the main idea.. explosions.. particle effects.. the lot ;) and BIG guns

 

 

This Year – 2012

So this year will be quite a busy one, I won’t be posting as much until the end of the month because I have work to do, I am also writing 2 new films. Which WILL be posted on Facebook =]

Hope everyone is well! Tutorials soon as I have my new headset.

Peace

Happy New Year

Happy New year everybody, It’s been a good one… I think.

Happy new year

And remember if you haven’t checked it out the steam offers are still on!

So I bought a copy of Cobalt Today…

Being a huge supporter of Mojang I bought a copy of Cobalt today. (I’m not a huge supporter?? What? Why don’t you check where those links in the previous post lead… That’s what I thought haha)

So I purchased Cobalt and am yet to play it :) I also downloaded TF2 but my laptop refuses to boot it past the intro for Valve xD

Anyway Cobalt, I may post some videos here. Unless you don’t want me to? I’ve also had a rising number of views lately for the blog… it seems I’ve tapped a market ;)

Anyway it’s Christmas .. close enough so I am going out to socialise! maybe I should organise my twitter so you can follow me? Ciao!

My Favourite Art

Today I am going to bring you a little snippet into one of my hobbies ^.^.

Which happens to be… Looking at other peoples art! For a few years now I’ve dabbled in photography, Graphical editing, Film making and I have to say I personally learn more looking at other peoples art work and trying to figure out how to do it. For example, my partner Melissa does amazing Photo Manipulation, but both our techniques which come out with the same result are completely different. That doesn’t make either method a particularly bad choice but still, different.

For our First picture I have Tectonic by *Blaizethewolf. I think this as a project is coming along quite well, it very much reminds me of Clouds bike in Final Fantasy. Minus the sword holders.

Secondly we have Just Jane by NamelessFaithlessgOD. Now I don’t know if this is some amazing photo manipulation or if it’s a genuine photo with certain colours picked out but I love it. It has a weird vibe to it, not that there is a half naked woman but mostly because it speaks about the use of women iconography itself, why do pilots use woman on a bomb as apposed to an icon of a big strong man carrying bombs like he isn’t struggling? Surely that would be more ‘uplifting’. However this seems to speak for itself, Kudos to NamelessFaithlessgOD

and Lastly Wild Rose by TheGreatGigInTheSky, whom I have been following on Deviantart for a few years. Photo manipulation seems to be her area of expertise and I love every single part of it. I seriously recommend checking out her art. It is pretty much the idea of saying this is me, yes I ran infront of a timed camera and posed so what? AND THEN she edits the hell out of it! I’m sorry but that takes skill, balls and will power. Keep it up!

Sopa – Episode IV – A new Hope?

The fight against Online Piracy or against Free Will?

 

So it’s clear now. They have no Idea what they are talking about, alot of them even trying to justify their answers with “I’m not a nerd, BUT…”

I’m sorry but this is highly unprofessional, they have literally just said that everyone who uses the internet to make money is a nerd. To top this off, THEY DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY’RE SAYING “I’m not very good with technology or the internet..”

It’s getting ridiculous. I refuse to let the USA get this sort of treatment. I thought the government in the UK was bad. But Geez. This is stupid.

A New Hope? I Think not.

BUT once again there is something else among us. Maybe we have a Jedi to fight this sith? :P Cheesy pun I know.

 

Ben Hawkers Photos

So I was wondering around some forums today and someone posted up their ‘portfolio’ you could say :P and I have to say, I really really enjoyed looking at it. Simple. Yet effective.

I have to say well done Ben Hawkers, I really do admire your art work.
I may contact you in the future ;)

Good luck with your future.

SOPA – What’s going to happen?

So I’ve been watching the live stream of the new bill/Change of bill being proposed in the USA. Primarily to stop ‘piracy’ from sites such a Piratebay and uTorrent. There is a few problems though.

This legislation will impact everyone, sites such as Facebook, Reddit and Tumblr will be taken down. Why? Simple. Because somebody uploaded content which didn’t belong to them, overall they didn’t have the rights to upload it.

As of yet the live stream seems to be everyone complaining why we should go through with this, but also as to why people should be allowed to download and use websites which allow commercial activity.
There is the typical idiot, sitting in the corner who fits in with a typical Hollywood character that everyone hates. He who shall not be named seems to feel it’s correct to stop people from having rights for freedom online.

I’m from the UK but I really do feel for the USA. They need to realise this bill will stop people from having jobs… Facebook could potentially go down… especially if YouTube or Google are targeted as well.

Now don’t flame me if I am wrong with some of this, I’m not an expert. But lets be honest. With this bill in place certain people such as Boogie2988, TotalHalibut, The YogsCast and OMFGCata, what will happen to them. It’s pretty much a day job. They all live off this, yes we envy them. But they’re amazing, they are idols for many young YouTubers out there. Even the 12 yeart olds playing COD :P

Anyway to conclude I want to add I am not in favour of this Bill, why not make ISP’s focus more on looking for illegal downloaders?

Peace out!

More updates!

Hey again!

Another update. This is another personal one. The design of the site has been kicked up a Notch. Now we have some funky buttons up top! Why?? Simple :-) So you can read about everything I do! haha. Not that I’m interesting :(

I might link my internetaware twitter at the top of the page, however there is a feed to your right.
Not that my Twitter is interesting, it’s just all my activity.

Anyway I might be working on a new film, not my film this time ;) . It’s a Social Realism/Thriller. So ‘obviously’ British :P
Recorded in Ashford (I think) Next year. But I may have been picked to help regarding the websites and marketing. Hopefully all these odd jobs I do online rather than these projects :P will come together!
So from now I will finally be letting my creative juices flow. This is what I needed. A direction!

Design updates

Regarding the design of this website I think it’s fair to say we have come a long way from the boring standard layout. I don’t have much time at the moment for the cosmetics of this website but I have got some updates!

 

  • We are achieving around 100 views per day now ;)
  • YouTube has recontacted us. Working on some deal regarding Game Videos and Tutorials within them due to the new bill
  • The banner has been postponed as my artist Toby is busy at the moment
  • We will be starting a new series for YouTube called “I don’t even…” Which explores the indie games and how the more confusing ones can be conceived as the best… Or can they? Some examples are AssaultBox and Limbo

New project

So I’m working on a film with a pretty terrible setup. The camera’s suck. We have a short dead line. Bla bla bla. So here’s the rushed credit’s:

See, It was recorded on a camera which said it was ‘HD’ But it doesn’t render as HD properly so I re-rendered it up to 480.

:(

I did it! I passed!

So I passed my Driving theory!

Wasn’t as hard as I thought, even though I only just scraped by… Going to be doing some minecraft and Runescape videos soon :) as well as a tutorial to view the new youtube designs!

Peace out guys!

Updates:

  • Adding contact details
  • New video soon
  • Taking game requests!

Driving Theory!

Hey guys!

I have my driving theory test tomorrow at 8am. Scary stuff. I haven’t studied for it. Most definitely going to fail I think. I was meant to move it further on due to studies however they wouldn’t answer the phone.. So I have to do it tomorrow.

Will be doing a new video when I get a chance to get a new mic, Christmas etc though so it’s been a bit tough.

 

Peace out!

Internetaware – Big Decision.

IMPORTANT

Internetaware has taken a big choice today. We are moving to Gaming AND Tutorials ( and Gaming Tutorials ;) )

This choice was made because I have various channels on You Tube. As well as a lot of big projects. I will also be posting up films I have made (Due to school work). Most of which will be terrible until I get a new camera etc :)

I will be adding some In Real Life videos to, Showing what I do on my average day 5am-11pm working haha.

Hope everyone is ok!!
