Snoopy & Full version of November 2024 with the Lovelocks video. Can anyone NOT see it ?

[Robin Lovelock on robin@gpss.co.uk]

Hi Guys. I've just updated Snoopy's "Blog11" on www.gpss.co.uk/rbblog11.htm with the latest (full) "November 2024 with the Lovelocks" video below, but it's significance is wider than Snoopy's Trans-Atlantic Robot Boat and Microtransat. For those who have problems scrolling down big pages, here is a relevant extract >>

Tuesday 3rd December 2024: Another 10 days & no change to above. Play latest (Full) November 2024 with the Lovelocks Video for more detail and "the bigger picture" ;-) Please tell Robin if it doesn't play in your country, due to Youtube blocking based on copyright of music playing at Blenheim Palace Christmas lights event. Robin can always use alternatives to Youtube, as he did before Youtube was created ;-)

Pictures and videos have been a valuable means of communication for many decades, but I dislike the recent habit to block a whole video, rather than just mute the music or sound on affected bits, in particular countries - particularly if we don't know which country :-| It seems that the owner of the music copyright has this power - whether they know it or not. Wars have never ended, be they economic or bloody. So if someone cannot play this video, but can earlier ones, please tell me. Then I will raise the priority of my exploiting competing video platforms - there are plenty these days ! ;-) However, since it is a relatively simple matter ( sound rather than video ), maybe Youtube will soon find a better fix. e.g. modify or mute the sound on the relevant bits :-)

Here is that video, with it's description ...

https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ok2RlGI8TNo?si=daxxXdgLz8jJlsuV is a 1 hour 22 minute video with the trails of photos shot between Saturday 1st until Saturday 30th November 2024. This is the FULL version, ref nov24b.mp4, that includes those important last two days: the Police PCSO meeting, and the trip to Blenheim Palace for the Christmas lights. Unknown Problems with Robin's Samsung Pocket camera means some material was shot with a different camera, with old 4:3 aspect ratio. Also, some days, there were no photos. But you will see that Robin now spends most of his days in Sunninghill village, in places like cafes, restaurants, and the Comrades Club ! :-) The video starts with a short title clip, then Robin's usual amusing introduction, shot on Friday 29th November, walking down their front drive at 22 Armitage Court in Sunninghill. Robin shows you Snoopy's Robot Boat in the front garden, on 24/7 Static Test, researching improving solar power. Not yet done. The boat should soon be ready for a Bray Lake Test, before a 2024 Atlantic Attempt. Photo trails show how, with the right help, they might get the house and garden back to what they were several decades ago.  This, and earlier videos, have important detail for potential helpers in "property maintenance" ;-) They need plenty of experience and "common sense" ;-) After the photo trails, Robin wraps up with video shot in July 2023: prophetic words of James Lovelock about Global Warming, and Robin's suggestions about the DVLA. He still has not received his driving licence. Most guys would be annoyed, but Robin is often amused by incompetence - so long as it does not result in suffering, pain, or death. It has been very "inconvenient", with more load put on June, coping brilliantly with her health problems. She had a blood test: no problems seen, but no diagnosis. The latest letter to the DVLA appeared in earlier videos, but is dealt with more clearly on Robin's PRESS and DVLA pages ;-) e.g. Julie Lennard, head of the DVLA, left that job to head the CPS :-) Yes, as can be expected, from Robin's career, then hobby interests, there are plenty of examples of people, GPS Tracking, and technology being exploited. e.g. wildlife and people caught on CCTV; Sunninghill Comrades Club; Pub Lunches ;-) The automatic subtitles/captions may soon be available, with translation into any language. Well Done Youtube Guys, whoever and wherever you are ! ;-) Footnote: Youtube used to give a choice of three images, for the "title picture" - and now just one. Often a good choice - even better if not me in it :-) I might do it myself - not an image bigger than 2 MB ! Not difficult with old Paint. Copyright of music playing in background a problem: block the sound clips, rather than the whole video in some countries ? Google and Youtube things change - fewer people to employ and pay ? Bring back people, simply aided by A.I.  ! :-)

That's the Youtube description above.

So who has managed to read this far ? ;-)
