unbuilding a duck punt - the seven day wonder

[dylanwinter]

As an experiment I decided to take my duck punt apart

That's a hell of a powerful paint stripper you're brushing onto it there

it would be great if we could remove paint that easily - but then if we could - so could nature

I decided to make the film when I was scolling through the boat building film and noticed some of the things we do look pretty weird when viewed backwards

Hi Dylan,
There was a gunpunt rowing to the slip just opposite Emsworth Yacht Harbour entrance last Saturday, all complete with gun, painted light duck egg gray green in the best Peter Scott 'Grey Goose' style all over.

I loved that especially the sawing. The sailing at the start made feel a a bit pondsick!

You aren't getting Amazon credits for youTube hits now by any chance are you?

No redemption in the world of google

You aren't getting Amazon credits for youTube hits now by any chance are you?

sorry to talk shop....but you did ask


and on the basis that the pressures on KTL also have an impact on the other sailing websites such as this one which we all use. Most of the adverts on here are now for IPC magazines as opposed to cars or insurance.

there is no possible redemption in the algorhythm driven world of google/ youtube

not possible to contact a human being

so no revenue from the 25 million hit trucking site

and of course nothing much from the KTL website

but ktl DVD sales now outstripping subcriptions

and they have held up fantastically well after Christmas - most of the people who bought or were given one have ordered the others

the films look much better on a telly than they do on a computer screen and they will be free of adverts

so I am slowly shifting all the films onto youtube and blip where they will be available for free to those who don't want to pay but are happy to live with the adverts - with all the youtube advertising revenue going to google

people who want to download the HD to watch on their expensive media enabled HD TVs will have to pay a contribution towards the bandwidth costs.

Incidentally one of their algorythms decided I was a spammer so my 1000 sailor mailing list now has to go out in batches of 50

but these are mere bumps in the road on my slow and immensely enjoyable journey around the UK.

The duck punt has been a great distraction from Jill writing the escort off - she and the other driver are both unharmed so it is just bent metal. Now looking for a replacement vehicle

meantime the duck punt moves around on the roof of the polo

Still annoyed with your terrible youtube/google experience, highlights dangers of their monstrous monopoly, most irritatingly, to top it all off, theyre deriving advertising revenue off your work!

Couldn't you remove all videos from youtube, pass the copyright onto someone else, say a wife who might then benefit from the revenue sharing system, and get back in that way?

it was my fault

it was my fault for not reading the contract properly -

I tried to correct my mistakes once I realised what was going on

but they got me later

they are too big and do not use humans to manage the humans who make money for them

the bloke for the holiday review website was on you and yours talking about his algorhyms and how they have to keep them secret

it is not just a case of one rule for them and another for you but you do not even know what the rules are.

could not move the trucks as hits get hits - the sailing films - at around 5000 hits a year each would earn about $5 a year - although I guess once I have all 250 back on youtube that would be worth $1000 a year.

They have tracking algorhythms that track your ISP - so I would have to use a different ISP from a different house.

selling DVDs of beautiful boats sailing on beautiful rivers seems a lot simpler
