Tiny Trotters on Film!

I FOUND A REALLY NICE MOBILE PHONE in the internet shop an hour before closing. So I sat with it and minded it, waiting for it to ring (hoping no-one would). Nobody rang and I wasn't up for handing it in for someone else to "appropriate". And one technical hitch aside, when I turned it on and off only to get demanded some crackpot security code (Googling Nokia instructions manuals told me the default code was 12345 and I got straight in) I am now the proud owner not only of a telephone registered in FRANCE but a two megapixel camera with videotastic features for filming furries! Which is just about all I have done with it since.

So enthusiastic has been my homemoviemaking with Baby Itchy as star that the batteries are so seriously low I'm about to be terminated.

I've got all sorts of furry film of her looking tiny as a ping-pong ball and half-heartedly doing her party trick where she vanishes inside the magic wand only to reappear looking surprised at the other end. Usually she would use this juncture to clamber out, but my having to film one-handedly made things awfully awkward and every time her pink nose appeared at the other end, followed by a kindly sniff-around, she promptly reversed up to re-appear fur brushed backwards looking like a fluffy furball with beady eyes on my hand.

Oh and of course all the background clutter really shows up on camera. A certain sign that I really really need to tidy up!!

If anyone can reveal to me how on earth I get to post these up on Youtube ~ bearing in mind I know NOTHING and have never used a USB cable in my life. In fact don't own them as I "inherited" said telephone... Also how do I post my own photographs on blogger? I've a lovely over-exposed one of Itchy rambling on my hand. She's so washed out by such major flash she looks blue.

And that's all I have to say on an otherwise killer-drab Sunday. I'm missing EastEnders' omnibus to post this so I hope y'all are happy!!

Laters, peeps ~ and take it easy:~~...

this has been going round and round in my head; it's got a real catchy "hook" this one...

  1. I'm guessing you would have to purchase both a charger and an interface cord for the phone. Once you plug the phone into the computer, I'm guessing a box will pop up asking what you want to do. To upload to the blog, you would just click on either the photo graphic or the film graphic accordingly, and do what it says.

  2. If the phone gets internet, you should be able to get onto blogger, and log in. Once done, I'm pretty sure you can upload a photo like you usually would. You could also get into your e-mail, and e-mail the photos to yourself. It's just like using a regular computer, except, instead of a mouse, you have to select the links by scrawling up or down with the arrows.

    I hope that helps... maybe?

  3. Yep the girls are right you can email the pic or plug it directly into your PC but you need to 'appropriate' the cable, then just click on the photo box in blogger as usual. As for You Tube, just get an account by following the prompts and you can upload in much the same way.

  4. If the phone has a removable memory card, you can use any computer with a memory card slot reader to get the files off without needing the phone. You will likely need an adapter for the card slot reader if it is a micro SD card like in my celly. If not, you can transfer files using bluetooth if the phone is a bluetooth capable phone. The computer has to have a bluetooth card as well. What is bluetooth you ask? You're right. Bad idea. It would take too long to explain on the blogger thingy. Maybe somebody in the internet cafe could help you?

  5. Pretty woman in your video...

    I wonder why people buy Cameras these days, unless they're photography buffs.

    Same goes for Calculators. and Calendars. and a lot of things.

    Won't be long before we have an all purpose Communications wristwatch.
