Yeah I hear the videos are a right money maker. Do you do those on the products @China Man ?

4 years ago when you leave reviews on amazon they rank you based on how many helpful button you get. I was ranked 250 when they send me an invite to the VINE program. I was top 3 in UK when they remove the rank system. Not sure how you get in now as it is an invitation, you get an email and asked if you want to join and get free stuff
I think I got a random email once asking me to review something, I binned it thinking it was spam/scam. lol

Kids now a days all want to be influencer and YouTuber, money is there but competition is fierce.
I do make money from reviews, Amazon affiliate, Google ad sense (YouTube) and direct sponsors sometimes. Still doing my day job to keep my pension going but reviews are side line.

I remember that system, I managed to get a ranking of just over 1000 but no invite4 years ago when you leave reviews on amazon they rank you based on how many helpful button you get.

Then Amazon removed two of my reviews claiming I was (effectively) in the pocket of the seller! Nothing could be further from the truth and in response I stopped adding reviews for a couple of years. I still add the odd review now if I have something interesting to say - usually a 1-star lol!

Cheap multi-function meter from Aliexpress. Not bad for the money (£80).

Not Vine but I miss the days when brands that I bought a load of stuff from would send free stuff, especially around Christmas, I dunno if Amazon made changes to stop it. Got a load of things like beanie hats and USB chargers, etc.

Need to change Greenland to Orangeland.
New indoor bike. Kickr Bike Shift. Replaces the Decathlon one i bought last month that i had multiple issues with. Have also brought it into the spare room where it can live until we have guests again. Hopefully a little better conditions as the Naya was glass and so got really cold/hot depending on time of day!
Not quite as quiet as the Decathlon one or as quiet as i was expecting which is annoying, but maybe that'll get better in time.

Went shopping. Did I need any of it? No. Am I happy I went shopping? Hell yeah!

One of my first jobs will be printing some https://www.multiboard.io/ and various accessories for my office to try and tidy everything up a bit. Obviously I could have just bought some pegboard for 50 quid but this looked like like much more fun!
While that is chugging away I will continue to learn Fusion 360 so I can start designing and printing my own custom bits and pieces.

After bad foot pain snowboarding in Norway at xmas (I'm a little bit, ahem, 'bigger', since I last boarding), went to Snow and Rock for a boot fitting. I was looking at step ons but after trying everything in the store couldn't find any that were a good fit (have pronation, wide feet, odd bones). Burton Ruler in wide at half a size bigger than existing boots were the nicest so settle on those. Got them heat moulded and used my existing Sidas inserts and will pop some Remind Cush insoles in when they've packed out a little. Really, really pleased with the fit and 2 hours on the slope were a delight compared to old boots.
I was also pondering upgrading from old Burton Clash board / Freestyle bindings to something stiffer and they has a factory second Instigator that they did a REALLY good deal on - just had a bit of a gouge along one edge but nothing major - just cosmetic. Grabbed some Mission bindings that they did me a good deal on as well. That's board, boots and bindings all a little stiffer so should allow for some progression.
So that's me set up for the next few years - let's hope I can find some step on boots that fit next time!

I ordered two of these on Tuesday. I had a dispatch email saying seven had been sent.
Four turned up on Wednesday.
Another four turned up yesterday.
I contacted the company and they said that they've only sent me two so I had no qualms in setting them up. I've got them in Apple Home, in the Tapo app and now need to drag them into Home Assistant.
