Because it’s something I think about from time to time.
Every now and then, I’ll remember that I used to have a streaming channel on a platform called uStream, and made several attempts at using it on a regular basis. That lasted from perhaps 2009 to 2015 or so, when that platform got bought by IBM and became something I’d have to pay to use, and for my commitment to it at the time, I couldn’t justify it.
My usual content at the time was just me talking about whatever was on my mind and maybe a news item or two that had stuck out that week. Between it being dated and my relative lack of experience at it, I really didn’t bother saving any of that when uStream switched to a limited number of past recordings that it would keep on free accounts. In fact, I think I only ever did one thing that was an event sort of thing, and eventually put it on YouTube for the sake of putting it there, really. I’ll embed it here, for the same reason:
This is basically me trying to be Linkara and failing at it as I try to read and review the first issue of the Sonic X comic that I’d had in a filing cabinet for years. Even though I only managed it this once, that I can remember, I’d intended to do more stuff like it and just never managed it. Most of the time, I think that might be for the best, but there are moments when I wonder what might have come of the idea if I’d put more time and effort into it.
I’m sharing this now because it came through my Facebook memories recently, and I still consider trying to get back into streaming somehow. At the same time, I remember how much work even that was, and remember that the YT stuff I do is enough for me most of the time, considering what I’ve actually got to work with, so perhaps trying to do regular streaming again might not be such a great idea for me.
At any rate, I’d better wrap this up here and get on with other stuff. See you next time.
