That's alright! Thank you for continuing to interview with me here, and I am glad to have you participating on the small fish games! Don't let me keep you from anything, I can totally understand that you have other, important things to do!
If you ever do have time again, what additional tools are you using for steem? Do you use something like steemnow.com?
I primarily use steemworld.org
I'm almost gone now - though GINAbot makes sure I stay connected, lol.
I've done a good job curating today, taking my VP back down to almost 75% (below my 0.02 cutoff, anyway) - Daily Sneak coming up next.
Chat more later. I'm on Discord as well.

I love the daily sneak! I even put out an advertisement for it in the Thank you Economy Conest but it doesn't seem like there are that many people willing to put in the work!
Do you prefer chatting by comments or chatting by discord?

I think it's silly that people aren't willing to do the Daily Sneak. I can't think of an easier way to 5 SBD, honestly! Okay, a little more work than the PIFC, I guess, but for a minnow like myself with an entirely earned account, this bonus is huge! It's also the only way I can afford to keep using Minnowbooster since I can't be curied every week!
Regular chatting I prefer on Discord. Steem-related chat is perfectly suited to comments for the most part.

I totally agree! It is a great boost - I think you might be a redfish! But that's okay, they are just words made up by someone anyway.
And I agree, I do like to try not to spend so many words typing into discord, when I could be locking my conversations into the blockchain! Future anthropologists may study this conversation!
Hey where does your name, Viking Ventures, come from? Sounds like an interesting story!

What defines a redfish anyway? These rankings are still fairly weird and incongruous.
Future anthropologists are going to have psychiatric problems if they have to go through everything on the blockchain!
Viking - for my Viking heritage. My mom's side of the family is more-or-less 100% Scandinavian... Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and even some Finnish, mostly in that order. I've always felt closer to that part of my ancestry (less than 100 years ago, after all) than my other European ancestors.
I've been using Viking as my user names for probably 20 years or more (my ebay user name was one of the first.)
Ventures because I was developing a brand name that I could use for everything I ever want to do - from Viking Visual (photography and graphic art) and A'mara Books to anything else I want to do.
Not really super exciting, but it works and the Viking part especially has sort of become me...

Very cool story behind your name! It suits you ;p
I like the idea of a name to fit everything, now I try to use this username for everything. Apparently not everyone can pronounce it though, lots of people see e-coin and stumble from there.
I believe that the original definitions were done in vests, so it might hace shifted the sp amounts, but redfish are users from 50-499 sp. When you get that slider you become a minnow! Then I think its pretty straightforward, dolphin at 5000+, orca at 50,000+ and whale at 500,000+.
I like the ventures, is A'mara books your publishing company?

Eco-instant makes more sense to me... Is that how you pronounce it?
Oh, okay - so redfish before minnow. Okay. Most people seem to just skip the redfish part.
I tend to see Ventures as the over-company...
A'mara Books handles the fiction (though there will be some things that don't fit into the A'mara category, and I'm not sure where those will go yet...)
Aileron Books (not yet published) will handle non-fiction. I have several project in mind there.
But at the end of the day, it's all me.

That is so cool! I actually have a legal conglomerate forming as well, isn't it great to be independent?! I love your ideas and confidence :)
I think they do skip redfish since minnow seems pretty small, plankton comes before redfish ;p
And you have the pronunciation right!
What are your plans for today sunday my viking friend?
