The Entertainment Man Talk Show and a Few Site Updates....

Ok, I know there's been questions why The Entertainment Man Talk Show isn't currently active in the rotation of the videos.... Well first thing you might think... Did we give up on it? Well the answer is no, we just put it on the back burner as we have other things going on right now, so you can say we put it on the back burner, taking a hiatus from it for 7 months... When we return, we will return bigger and better, we have made some changes, hoping we get a good reception from you guys when we start posting up episodes again! We have gotten quite a ton of preparation finished, just waiting on script.

Now my website is the definition of dysfunctional... The downtime because of the security is one thing, but for my site to go down entirely is another thing. Content on my site wasn't deleted, just a message saying site is up and running and the usual blah blah if your going to break the TOS B.S. So I took off all my content and deleted my site from the 000webhost server. They say 99.9% up time but its been down an entire week. I understand it takes a while to fix stuff but would be nice answers. Support of theirs is done and I'm banned from their fan page for complaining/reporting a problem? Kind of power hungry. Their support their client tell not ban then.  So what does this mean for my site? Well currently my good buddy set my wix.com site until I buy a domain which will be this morning. Please be a little more patient with me and also my team, we are hoping to be online by 1 pm this afternoon.

Sorry for the long post, had to get this off my chest,

Update On Not being About to Edit ChrisBOnTheWeb.Comli.com

Here is what 000webhost is saying for the security breach issue they are having: 

We have witnessed a database breach on our main server. A hacker used an exploit in old PHP version of the website gaining access to our systems.

We became aware of this issue on the 27th of October and since then our team started to troubleshoot and resolve this issue immediately. We will get back to providing the service to our users soon.

In an effort to protect our users we have temporarily blocked all access to systems affected by this security flaw. We will re-enable access to affected systems after an investigation and once all security issues have been resolved. We advise our customers to change their passwords and use different passwords for other services.

Little Notice of Change Until Further Notice

As you guys know, I am limited with what I can and cannot do for the website, as you guys know, the Chat page is there for interaction on the air and off the air, and right now it is only available off air as my provider, 000webhost is still down under maintenance mode due to the security breach that went on 3 days ago. 

So with that, I am actually using the YouTube commenting system on YouTube.com under the link I will tweet out and post on my Facebook page. I believe there is a button on the video for the Q and A as well! 

Myself and my Staff apologize for the inconvenience, that has arisen the last few days, we are trying the best we can to not cancel any broadcasts with Everything About Reality TV and work around the situation. As stated above we are planning to use the comments on the link above until the website is editable once again.

Thank you again for your patience,

Chris

Recent Interview I Was In With my Staff for my Channel

As you guys know I was in an interview that was conducted by Larry Rieck, my assistant and very well conducted if I may say so. But anyways, it is no secret that The Entertainment Man Talk Show is close to wrapping up in the next several years and will be time to move on with life from long running projects such as that. 

Over the years, I've been to 2 special locations on the series, both the Town Hall of 1873 in Port Perry, Ontario and York-Durham Railway in Uxbridge, Ontario which are close together pretty much. Only took a month for the Town Hall of 1873 for planning and took about 3 years to planning the York-Durham Railway and what we wanted to film and talk about as their was a lot of aspects of the railway to talk about and to come up with which order to go in. But not only that we tried contacting them about 3 years ago and wasn't sucessful, however just last year (a year in June ago), we got a hold of them and we were underway with planning and scripting the series. We originally slated the season in September of 2014, but got pushed off for 10 months as the railway had a lot on their plate which we were fine with as it gave us more time to really prep and learn the script! Those two locations, I will never forget and will treasure it for the rest of my life. Was a once and a lifetime opportunity to film there and was a pleasure. Both the Town Hall of 1873, their Administrator was so amazing to us and kept in touch with us for years afterwards and myself and Dave Gowans went up to give her flowers and say thank you.  Also the coordinator or head person of YDHR was also so amazing and their team were so helpful for getting us underway with our little project. 

When this series is over, I will have nothing but good memories to remember for years to come and was the best series I've done on YouTube since 2008. With saying that, I am looking forward to the final years of this series and have been glad to share this series with you guys, and my adventure with not only you guys, my staff too as well!

Happy Tuesday!

So Much Going On...

Hey everyone!

It has been a while since I blogged on my blog here. I have been working non stop at my new, well now former job, for those who didn't know I ended up leaving the job as it wasn't working out for me. Anyways since that happened I have been so busy with planning things for the website, new features and so on. 

1) Royal Winter Fair, we have gotten media passes for filming at the Royal Winter Fair at Exhibition Place in Toronto, so that is uber exciting for both myself and my team. So we are planning on a few interviews as well.

2) New features being rolled out, such as new chat system, a subscription feature which is free obviously and will automatically notify you when I go live on the website as it will have a scheduling system in it, so I will be able to schedule the live Google Hangouts better and hopefully get more people tuned in to the new series LIVE on the AIRWAVES. 

3) I am back on Twitch here and there, when I can, the link is http://www.twitch.tv/cbotw so do make an account and join me. Streams are totally random at this point as I am a busy person.

4) I have sent out emails to Liz and Julia Nolan from Big Brother US 17, Dan Gheesling to find out if there is anymore openings for it and checking in with Jordan Parhar about the one I was hoping to have with him.

Now I have been busy with set painting, scripts, planning, set designing, decorating the studio for Halloween and still working on uploading videos to YouTube. I am always keeping busy and so are my team. Hope all is well with you guys and I will talk to you very soon, I hope to post up again tomorrow.

Everything is coming together Nicely....

With the completion of The Entertainment Man Talk Show set, I can focus on the last and final thing which is the scripts, which actually I am planning to work on and finish up on Monday as it is Labor Day and as I have been working in the office this weekend and was suppose to close down for the holiday, but only time the team can be here to do their jobs. 

But all I can really say is, the set is finished! AND I AM PROUD of the outcome of the set and what it looks like after such a long process of building the set to what it looks like and the technical side of it in the rafters in the studio here. Having to have two rods, one which is still holding up the curtain and two the the other rod which hold the stars up on the curtain... might need a few adjustments tomorrow to make sure we can see the stars which isn't visible right now but it is a simple fix!

I can really now say it, my team has really gone to bat for me, they are indeed the best staff around that I ever have without Larry, Justin, Missy and Dave, I couldn't get the filming done or things around the studio.


Have a great night everyone!

Changes To Chris B On The Web is of the Essence

As you probably heard and seen that Missy is no longer on STAFF here at Chris B On The Web. She has left us just before the season started... I wont say why or if she got fired that will remain quiet. Her and I agreed on the decision and she has departed the STAFF here at Chris B On The Web. So what does that mean for the site? Well I do not at this time have an advisor for The Entertainment Man Talk Show, nor am planning to hire someone else for it. Eric Bunton has done a tad bit of advising for me, he had a bit of a hand in the decision withing my staff, him and I had a long talk today and gone through the staff who's doing well and Dave, yes Dave Gowans wants to still be involved, I told him hes on standby, so what does this mean? He will be helping me film with some other projects or in case Larry cant make it or Larry happens to move up north on us, Dave becomes the permanent camera man once again and Larry is downgraded to assistant. But Dave wants more involvement which is good! Means I will start finding him some projects to film with me a little more then usual. This is a good step my staff want to be more involved within the site. Production Team is always changing rapidly and fast! But change is good though. With Missy now departed from the team, she joins the ranks with Eric as The Entertainment Man Talk Show Alumni, along with Amy and Krissy who were part of the series between 2009 and 2010 until my hiatus from shooting the series for 2 years as I attended College for 2 years!

Any who, just wanted to let you guys know what is up and the changes that are in affect immediately. Reminder that  the shoot schedule is set and as follows:

The Entertainment Man Talk Show, Season 7:

Ep 1: September 23rd, 2015
Ep 2: September 24th, 2015
Ep 3: November 10th, 2015
Ep 4 & 5: November 29th, 2015
Ep 6 & 7 December 13th, 2015

Delegation/Communicating with Staff

As most of you know I've been through the ups and downs with my long now falling apart web series or web show The Entertainment Man Talk Show. I have recently figured out that the problem lies beneath no delegating enough to get what is asked. This could also be a communication issue too as well. It's not my just my staff frustrated its me. If I need to "delegate" or "communicate" my staff need to be able to receive the message and answer the request or the message. But I think my patience has run out as I am running in all directions right now with everything going on. So I am believe it's both sides that needs work on communication and delegating at this point before the 7th season begins.

Have a great night!

Mixed Feelings

With all the problems occuring with my production team, I'm kind of unsettled with The Entertainment Man Talk Show ending after everything I've been through over the years of running this series such a lengthy period of time. I know the series is on the cancellation block for June 2016, but don't mean it will happen. Time will only tell. I've had so many memories with the series and I've got one goal in mind: reach 200 Episodes... I would like to continue, so would Justin and Larry.

The Entertainment Man Talk Show Season 7 Jitters

As most of you know, The Entertainment Man Talk Show has had its ups and its downs last season and during its summer hiatus. I've tried everything I humanly could to make sure staff of the series shows me and other members of the production crew respect.

Just recently with the last ounce of dis respect thrown at me, I've drawn a fine line down the sand with it. With that I've questioned whether i should continue or not with the series. There's alot I'd wanna do with it such as 200 Episodes which has been in the back of my mind since the 100th episode Hype. What should I do guys? Email me you comments @  contact@chrisbontheweb.freeiz.com

Set Redesign plans underway for The Entertainment Man Talk Show

For those who already knew and speculated that my web series is indeed going to season 7 plans, you would like to know why I've been posting last minute pics on my fan page and Instagram with the words "probably last selfie with the old The Entertainment Man Talk Show background." Well the set is distractedly changing for season 7 and on. Times are changing and our space is limited, so we need to change the set entirely and it is time for some change. Larry (Co-Producer/Director/Camera Man) of the series, and lead set designer Justin Milner have told me "the board you have for the series is getting old, warped, and the imprint of the letters are viewable after many re paints over the years. So we are redesigning the set, we are retiring the old board which is most likely being torn to pieces and scrapped.

Have a great day guys!


P.S. I pulled the podcast too many technical issues.
