Good morning, it’s 9am, the heater is whirring away in the background doing a fantastic job of heating the van today, we are no longer chilly and cold, dayle is out doing her yoga as part one of her december yoga thing and I’m trying to wrap my head around what I’m going to work on today, I’m currently reformatting the keynote templates and I’m probably going to jump directly into them today, try and pull a course together ideally, which might lead up to working back on the OBS template. Who knows, feeling a bit of a dead zone right now with everything.
I’m pulling together a little tutorial this morning using pushover, pullover and ifttt as well which I should be able to do in a one take kinda situation because it’s fairly simple, I could wrap it together as a course but it feels more like a tip then anything else so I think I’m just gonna do a screen record and move through the different parts as I’m setting it up — I need it myself for checking on jobs for me while I’m working on other things and it used to work but it seems the RSS feeds were broken for some strange reasons so I’ve gotta go in and fix it anyway.
Checking on my skillshare that’s up this month which I’m pumped about and I can slowly see the udemy needle moving a little bit upwards, the next target for that is to get the monthly into three figures, once we hit four figure months that’s when I can really start to change everything up here, until then, it’s head down and keep cranking.
need to improve my video setup camera and green screen wise that will need a bit of an investment on my part which right now seems pretty impossible so I need to make sure I can get the resolution as sharp as possible on the output files.
Talking of files I’ve been downloading my 750+ files from bambuser and was really struggling to get the big zip file to download, it had reached to 14gb before my connection died out so I’m currently grabbing in bits which on 4g connection can take a long time as you can imagine. So far I’ve got a 15gb and a 9gb file and this file this morning is always 7gb and still downloading.
I’m gonna need to host these in the cloud somewhere or purchase another backup drive to decompression them on, you really don’t realise the file size of these things until your presented with them head on — I’ll probably put then in amazon glacier cold storage or something until I’ve got time to play with and edit them.
Still super hazy of how approach today, waiting on funds to arrive to be able to put them into the ledger and knock some of that down for the month, know I’ve got a good skillshare and udemy month coming in but it’s not enough, considering going back to doing some manual labour work for the christmas month, I’m guessing a number of places out there need people this time of year and especially going into january to cover, maybe that’s a move I need to make?
