Isn't it true that until recently all your vlog videos used a common video format and codec (coding/decoding algorithm)? If so, it means that the amount of data recorded per minute of play would be approximately constant. Look at one (or more) video(s) to compute this data rate (MB/minute). Then look at the size of the server directory which holds ALL your vlogs (or have your server tech do it.) Finally, do a single division to guestimate the total run time of ALL your vlogs.

You're welcome!

It's even easier if you let Windows do all the calculations:
Open the Windows Explorer, go into the folder holding the video logs, choose the Details view, sort by file type, mark all the video files based on the file type (Click on the first, shift-click on the last), right click on the selection and select "Properties" in the context menu. On the Details tab of the properties Windows Explorer will calculate the running time of all selected videos combined.

I'm getting 52:35:22 in WMVs and 7:11:29 in MP4s, totaling in 59:46:51 playing time for all video logs. (That's just short of 2 1/2 days of constant videos.)

Calculating the play time of other video categories like Professional or Candid is a bit more difficult, as the single scenes exist in multiple files with different quality.

Hello Danielle.

I'm a Spanish fan of you.

Will you visit Europe one day and come to Spain?

Hey Dani the Bookworm,

My question: Have you already noticed that the famous Internet Archive now lends out books still protected by copyright, as e-book copies, and for FREE?

It's true!!! You just need to sign up for a free account and then search for titles at its Books to Borrow collection here. It holds the lion's share of a MILLION books, the overwhelming majority of which can be borrowed at once.

Books and other text materials out of copyright now make up another SIXTEEN MILLION titles, all of which you can access for FREE here. This way, you'll even be able to check out who were the hot guys on campus back in the day at your sometime-Alma Mater - and alleged "party school", ASU, see here.

More seriously, as an independent artist working in the Post-Napster Age, you might find it of inspirational and practical value to read the following book, which you can borrow for free from the Internet Archive at its page here.

I know you once hit a bookstore with Miyu and flashed, but have you ever roamed some forgotten warren of lonely stacks, searching for a book, when you stumbled upon a hot guy and landed up doing the deed? And if so, were the cameras rolling?

Best,
RtL

Hello Dani,

Some years ago when you were getting into heavy anal play and reported you were shoving some enormous objects up your a$$, I became rather concerned that you were on the road to a serious injury. I encouraged you to invest some time and money consulting with a porn player enjoying medical credentials, such as Nina Hartley, RN, to make sure that the activities you undertook could be as safe and healthy as possible.

You never replied to my entreaty, but now I have run across and viewed a sex ed video on anal play by Nina Hartley herself, published by Adam & Eve in the mid-1990s. I think it was the DVD described here.

At the end of said video, Nurse Hartley offers wholehearted endorsement of a book, whose latest version today is called Anal Pleasure and Health: A Guide for Men, Women and Couples, 4th edition (Down There Press, 2011). Find its Amazon page here. The Kindle product only costs 10 bucks.

I hope you find some time to obtain and read this book. And since this is a question thread, allow me to ask: How well are you taking care of your precious a$$ today?

Best,
RtL

Hey Dani,

Today I discover that the author of the aforementioned book on anal play wrote a previous book on erotic pleasure. I surely haven't had time to review it, but what is written about it appears to be of potential value to you.

The title is With Pleasure: Thoughts on the Nature of Human Sexuality, Amazon page here.

The brief Kirkus review of it in part writes this:

...while contemplating the elegance of the equation Attraction + Obstacles = Excitement, [the author] had a sudden insight: that eroticism has four cornerstones--longing and anticipation, violating prohibitions, searching for power, and overcoming ambivalence.

Most of what you sell is erotic pleasure. So it is obvious to ask if you embrace any theories about its nature and how best to create it. Have you read any books about it, such as the one above? Does anyone try to teach a class about it, either locally or online? Do you study industry products to extract such insights, rather than pick up random practical tips?

How much more business might you acquire (with proper marketing) if you found a better scheme to create sexual excitement and gratification among your clients?

Best,
RtL

Danielle, what's your politics?

Moderator's note: One of our Forum policies is not to discuss politics. It's too polarizing and almost always leads to heated discussions with people calling each other names.
I've got to admit, though, that some heat would do our Forum some good, having cooled down to almost absolute zero. (A)
