I've gone crosseyed
I've been coding the site for days straight, I am about to go blind and stupid. I have to take a few days break.
However, here is the status report:
- Backend Content Management - 60% Done
-- Blog Management - Complete
-- Video Management - %10 Complete
The Video management will be a bear, but I plan on posting the FULL quality video's online for viewers to watch and download, with no 10 minute time limit like youtube has.
Anyway, don't count on an update for a while, need to take a break, my brain is mush.

Now, on to the website
Now, I'm going to be honest with all of you about the site: it's completion will not be quick. However the sacrifice of time I believe will be worth the product.
I can't really expose my reasonings behind that statement, but I hope all of you will think so as well.
It's going to take a lot of planning. Since I am in charge of design, engine programming, security, and server maintnenance, it is no small feat. To top things off, I will be getting married in May and I'm in charge of the honeymoon. So to say the least, while holding up a fulltime job, I will be busy, but I promise to keep everyone in the loop.
To start, the basic database structure has been laid out, I am working on implementation now. Also the banner isn't quite right, but it's good enough to decide the site's basic color scheme and layout, which I am also working on.
Thank you everyone for all your patience!

Video is Finished and Being Uploaded Now
The long awaited video is finished! I hope the final product was worth the wait to everyone!
Next thing on my list is to finish the site, I will keep you posted, but I am still waiting on the banner.

Video 98% Finished
Video only requires background music, and then splitting for youtube and it will be finished. I'm beat, I'm going to bed!

First Draft of Banner is in, Video Almost Done
I have recieved the first draft of the banner. It looks good, I only requested a few minor changes, I should recieve the completed banner today or tomorrow.
Video is almost complete! The overlay audio has been recorded, I'm now splicing the video to match the audio. Look for the video in the next couple of days.

Video Editing Coming to a Close, Banner Promised
The Video is nearly complete. I've written the script and have all the video shot. I just need to splice it together and prep it for upload, early next week is my ETA.
The banner has also been promised by next Tuesday. Once the video has been uploaded, this site will become my next top priority!

More delays and more progress
More delays with the banner. The graphic artist is ill.... actually has been ill for three weeks now. I hope he gets better soon. In the meantime, if there are any graphic artists out there that wouldn't mind volunteering some time to design a banner, it would be much appreciated.
On the upside I am cruising along with video editing, this should be my best work yet.

Things are looking up
Great news, after fumbling through about 6 video editors, I found one that doesn't crash and is open source - OpenShot. I've been playing with it for a few days and hasn't crashed on me yet, it also seems to sport a good deal of features that my old video editor didn't have, with any luck, I should have the video up by the end of the week pending any learning curves.
Also, the site's banner was promised by the beginning of next week. I won't hold my breath, and even if I do get the graphic, the video is taking higher priority because of how long it has been since I published a video.
I'll keep everyone posted as I work things out.

Some Video Setbacks, Some Website Progress
I've finally given up on getting ahold of my editor. Not sure what happened, but I hope it's nothing serious. But that means the task of video editing now falls on my shoulders. That may not seem like a lot to some people, but it's a lot if all you use is open source software. So given the time it will take to find some usable, verbose, and stable open-source video editor, and then get used to it, it may be a while before this video will see the light of day. Hopefully no more than a month or so. After I get used to whatever software I find, they should be popping out a lot quicker.
However, the site should have it's banner ready by the first of next week. Once the banner gets here, the color scheme and the rest of the site should fall into place
I'll keep everyone informed in the coming weeks.

Video is Delayed
I'm having issues getting ahold of my editor. I will try again today.
However, the graphic designer should be freed up by now, I will call him and give everyone a progress report.

Slight Delay
The graphic will be delayed a couple of weeks. The graphic designer that is doing it for me is doing it for free, and he said another project came up. I won't deny someone work that pays the bills.
The NES mod video is on the editing table, and I'll give everyone word when I hear something.

Why Me...
I went to crack open a N64 console and I cannot find the bit needed to open the console... :( And I would just buy another one, except I'm dirt broke at the moment. I'll be able to afford it in a couple of weeks.
Ah well, such is life. I have a NES Mod video already pre-shot and up on the editing table, that will just have to tide everyone over for a little while.
As for the logo, I will check on it tomorrow and we will see how that goes.
Until next time!

An Update of Events
It's only fair to start keeping everyone who visits this site in the loop. I'm sure many of you have visited this site and was disappointed to see a construction page. I'm also sure, some of those same people have come back to be even more disappointed to keep seeing it.
Well, I'm here to change some of that. I will start by keeping everyone in the loop that visits this site, on what is going on with site progress and if any new videos are going to come out. If there will be any delays, I will post them here along with any reasons for the delay.
I'm not going to lie, but the first big part of the delay was part procrastination and part being busy. But now I have the major distraction out of the way, I will begin to lay out the site.
I have already put in a request to get my logo formed and made up. This will take a few days and is very important to the site, it will decide the color scheme and basic shape and mood of the site. Without a well formed banner-logo, a site doesn't have much to grow on.
While I am waiting on that, I will be formulating a Nintendo 64 console cleaning video, if all goes well, I hope to have that video out for editing in the near future.
One last thing I wanted to address, my video editing is now being done by a YouTube fan who volunteered to do video editing. This was necessary due to the lack of stable video editing software available for Linux (my OS of choice) and lack of time. Now that is taken care of. Thanks misterflaco!
That's about it, look for an update in a few days.
