My haircut calamity from Andy Bailey on Vimeo.
So, did you want to hear about my haircut? This video blogging lark is all new to me so I don’t really know what you’re expecting when you visit FiddyP. Care to share your thoughts in the comments?
Maybe a more tips/advice kind of way instead of telling you the banal events of my life. It is fun though, being able to speak instead of type is more my style anyway. I tend to get carried away with typing and then have to keep revising what I’ve written whereas, doing a video post kind of makes it more personal. It’s just a shame I have bugger all interesting to talk about!
If you think I should go back to text entry or stop blartin on about haircuts and get down to some serious stuff, please let me know!
(and that mark on my t-shirt? that’s a splash of tea!)

Andy,
Your a legend, I have been at Tristan’s all week trying to move databases onto new server. At about 3 this morning we were going nuts, attaching the wrong domains to the wrong servers.
After a quick coffee break, and re watching your last video we were rocking once again. Keep up the entertainment, and love the new cut.
PS no nodding dog impression this time???

Glad you got the site sorted. Always be sure to wait for long enough when changing nameservers. I had mad troubles with a server move once!.
i always seem to have trouble clicking stop on the video, that’s why I end up nodding!

Andy, I think you should do whatever the heck you want to do! I enjoy reading all types of blogs, but my favorites are the ones where the blogger is being authentic aka true to themselves. I may be in the minority but I say do what YOU want and to hades with the masses if they don’t like it!
That said, I think it’s a fun idea. If I were you I wouldn’t make every post a video post, but that’s just me. There are a lot of female readers who may not want their significant others to come in the room and say, “Hey, why are you watching a video of some strange man? Who’s THAT guy?” and get the wrong idea. Not that you’re strange – but you know what I mean. Nice haircut!

Wow, this brings back some memories of the not so good kind..
I visit your blog every once in a while. So I wanted to say, adding video’s is a very appealing option for many. These are especially useful if they add value to your blog and are on topic.
Wish you the best in 09.

Heather: I agree with you on keeping it real, it’s why I like the idea of video blogging. can’t hide behind yourself!
I suppose I will be doing a mix of text and video posts, now I have video i can make posts about something when normally it wouldn’t have warranted a text entry.
thanks for your feedback!
Boris: thanks for saying so. hope to see you in the comments again soon!

One thing I picked up from that amusing video post is don’t jump the queue or you’ll end up getting a haircut from a plumber. LOL.
If all your video posts are as hilarious as this one and I absolutely have to choose between a text and a video post , I would choose the latter.
Great work on this one and I think the haircut looks good.

It made me laugh so much that almost every time you mentioned the ginger haired guy you said ginga in a tourette’s voice.
Mousing over the heart does not yield the profile in a timely fashion. Is that part of what your geek sqad is sorting out?

Hey Andy! I am digging the video posts and as far as I’m concerned I am equally entertained no matter what you want to talk about. I think the mix of the video and text posts is a great idea.
Keep it all comin’! (And I like the new cut!)

I do pretty much all of my blog reading at work and can’t access video, so i guess that’s all I have to say about that one.

1. You are getting better at it. Just keep at it.
2. The fun is not in expecting something and you have not yet disappointed!

Nicole: great, glad you liked it. I hope it can get better!

Haha. At least you have hair to cut. I keep mine buzzed.
Good lesson on what happens when someone ignores proper British queue etiquette.

You know something, you’re a pretty good storyteller. I really enjoyed your video. Ginger! haha.
Yes I think video is preferable for when you want to ramble.. I mean tell a story. But honestly, I did enjoy this.
until next time, don’t eat the yellow snow.
