To upload videos to Youtube. Then when it's uploaded it takes another age for Youtube to 'process' it.

I've been sitting here infront of the computer for ages, it's time for bed (I'm 2hrs ahead of UK) and I've had to have two more beers while I'm waiting.

This crappy connection I have obviously the cause. And there's only one more beer in the fridge. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Can you believe I'm actually at work ?!

It's most likely your connection as you say, as I can upload dozens of pics and videos in minutes to photobucket, and I don't have a super fast connection here in rural Wilts

Youtube takes longer, but not hugely so.
 
No I'm not curently on the rig Petrolia although I did work on it for a few months many years ago, in the North Sea.

Currently on a land rig in Bulgaria and as my profile says I work in oil & gas exploration. Ie, I supervise the drilling operation.

My boat is called Petrolia because a) I liked that rig, b) oil is where I earned the money to buy her, c) Petrolia is also the name of a Canadian town where oil was discovered donkeys years ago.

As you say normaly I can't drink offshore but onshore, well the temptation is here. Actually at the moment we are waiting on equipment so I have nothing really to do.

Do I know you from the industry ?
 
What sort of a connection are you on? DSL varies

ADSL has high download, slow upload, mainly because DSL splits your line into 3 segments. Voice, Data up and data down. Data up has a much narrower frequency band than the download hence a lot slower.

Voice is from 0-4kHz, data goes from 6kHz to 1MHz (Forget the exact up freq eventhough I spat it out in an exam last week)

Also Youtube may have a max upload speed set
 
Beautiful song. Video not bad either !

I'm so thick I didn't know you could put videos on photobucket, so I opened a Youtube account.

Which is better / easier. Youtube or photobucket ?
 
I have no idea what kind of connection I've got. Bear in mind I'm in a caravan / office in the middle of bloody nowhere. There is a satelite dish thing on the roof and I don't think normall ISDN, ASDL type stuff applies.

Anyway I'm not complaining. Actually glad to have a connection at all. Had to type something while waiting for video to upload !

They're done now. Another boring video coming in a minute !
 
No idea, just went to photo bucket when tony. ( Boatone) closed his account for photo's. Before then we all used to use it.

With photobucket it's different. You have to pick the url from the side. Cant remember what it says, summate like the whole lot. Pick that. Tuthers dont work.
