Here is the vlog that I spoke about in my shortest ever vlog. In this one vlog I am chatting about all the work I have done to since website in last last of weeks. Reminding everyone that I am on facebook and twitter. Also about some gay films that I would recommend everyone to see.
New vlog soon :)
Just saying that a new vlog, I recorded before this one, will be on-line after this one… Since it’s so big, it’s like 530 MB, so that’s a over night upload…
Dream Boy and other gay films…
I now have my very own copy of Dream Boy, which I rented from LOVEFiLM.COM last week. It was so good, I had to get my very own copy. Think the cover says it all “Like Brokeback Mountain set in high school.” it’s now been added to my list of must see gay films…
Here is my top six gay films to watch.
A list of other gay films can be found my about me page.
Website down time and other stuff…
Sorry about this website being off-line for a good 4 hours today, it was due to a DDoS (distributed denial of service) attack against the people that host this website. The down time started at around 11:50am to around 4:30pm GMT. Want to read about about this problem then check out status.34sp.com.
Now onto some other stuff. At long last, I sorted myself out another hard drive, so I can backup at all main files. I use to be very good at backing everything up, till I got so much stuff even copying it all on to DVDs was taken 2 long. So I got myself a Western Digital 250GB Passport Portable USB 2.0 hard drive, from dabs.com, which set me back £34.99. Spent lots of day backing up data. So far 23.2 GB (19,130 photos) and now doing all my SD videos, which is a 52.3 GB which is going to take a wee while…
Also and also starting to fun job of redoing another one of my website. Lucky this time it’s one that I run with a friend, so hello Mark. It’s about the village that we both live in. So old (still live) version of the website can be found at www.thebythams.org.uk and the new version (not live) we’re working on can be found at www.thebythams.org.uk/thebythams/.
Oh and big thank-you to everyone that’s said good things about this new look website so far :). Still got a lot to do, but it’s getting there 🙂

Channel 4 HD coming to Freesat :)
Sorry about posting a blog about this, but it made my day when I read it on the Join Freesat website. Means from April Freesat will have 4 HD channels, all free of course. BBC 1 HD, BBC HD, ITV1 HD and now CH4 HD. Why people pay so much for $ky HD, I have no idea, when you get the best HD channel for free. Well that’s if you like like sport that is…
Freesat also got the BBC iPlayer, with the ITV player coming very soon. Does $ky have them? Mmmm think’s think NO!

Dream Boy
Just got around to watching a film called “Dream Boy” that I rented from LOVEFiLM.COM last week. If your into your gay films, then it’s sure one for your list. It’s about two gay teenagers who fall in love in the rural South of America during the 1970s. Not going to say much else about it, just in case you have never watched it I would give it 8.5/10.
