Starting a new blog

Im still starting new blogs, (i may have a problem) This one is complete fiction. I am writing a kind of supernatural investigation blog story. Why? Well i want the challeneg and I think it will be fun, I am writting losts of posts at the moment, not publishing them yet, gonna hold off for a bit.

Who am I?

I thought maybe I should let people know a little about me. I'm 24 I work as a community youth worker I'm a SRE worker And I am an amateur fish keeper I have a growing interest in changing tech trends. I have no official web or IT qualification and know pitiful amount about some topics and too much detail on others, as I all i know is self taught and therefore doesn't follow any logical order. Well that is a very brief outline about me. Any body who reads this and wants to know more, please leave a comment

Brainstorming web app

Found this today bubbl.us It's an online app for doing a mindmap/brainstorm. You can create a basic mind map in minutes, save it, export it into an image, save it (with one of the quickest sign ups I've ever done) and share it. You control where the boxes go, colours, font sizes and links. In fact so far it has down everything I wanted. It's great, free and very useful. Have a look

multimedia-stock

Quick blog to share a new site I have just found, it contains loads of free images, sounds, vector drawings, fonts and other stuff. It looks very similiar to sxc.hu but with a wider selection of mediums (not yet as many images). I think the site is newish and I am hoping it will soon start growing. It looks great but needs more content! anyway have a look at multimedia-stock

New Pets

I want some more aquatic pets, I love my blind cave fish with a passion but i want some new pets. One tank just isn't enough for me. On the practical fishkeeping forum they sometimes refer to someone suffering from MTS (multiple tank syndrome) and I think I am in danger of contracting it. But I have a plan. Instead of paying lots of money for an entire new tank full of fish, I cant add any more to my main tank its full, instead I'm going to buy some Triops probably from Argos . These little amazing creatures grow from freeze dried eggs like sea monkey but get A LOT bigger then sea monkeys and i think if I can grow some on to become quite big I reckon i could put one or two into my main tank. They only live for a few months and my Bichir my have a bite of them but I really wanna give it a try. They way they reproduce means that one kit may be able to be used again and again if they lay me some lovely eggs. I think i will try and buy some this week.

Megafish

OK i must put my hand up and admit i have always been interested in big odd fish. You know the types that need massive home aquariums cost loads and have special diets. But even the biggest fish you could buy for your home aquarium are tiny little minnows compared to the fish that the National Geographic are show casing. Please click on this link and have a look at these Megafish

My Fish

Just short blog to show what tropical fish I have. I have one tropical fish tank set up and running. It is around 60 litres and houses 8 Blind Cave Fish (who inspired the name of these blogs) a juvenile plec that is growing up in this small tank before being rehoused and an albino Senegal Bichir. The all get on very well with each other at the moment and the Blind Cave Fish are very active and provide constant amusement.
