I know I have not updated this blog in a while..

Sorry about that, all will change once I move and hopefully get 100/40 fiber :D 

Funny how internet speed can drastically alter workflow.. Examples being, it currently takes on adverage 12 hours to upload a 350mb video, keep in mind that this is during "off peak" (between 7pm and 7am).. 

I'm very excited that my home town now has fiber infastructure in place and as I said, I'll be maxing out my connection to get 100mbs down and 40mbs up.. Wow that speed (for me) is amazing, I am literally giddy with excitement, I never had internet as a kid, I had to wait until I moved out of home to use it (geographic location was the issue). 

Let's do some quick calculations..

My current upload is usually 800kbs meaning it takes me 1second to upload 100kilabytes :/ 

In ideal circumstances fiber will allow 40mbs upload, this means I can upload 5 megabytes per second! :D

A 500mb video would only take about 1 and a half minutes to upload, opposed to 12 hours for a 350mb video (remember my current connection is highly volatile and frequently drops out but thanks to the YouTube uploader it can resume after the network comes back online )..


Pretty neat huh? ;)
