after exercising and the drop off we consumed the blackcurrant whisky.

There are always benefits of living in the countryside.

Mental health, tighter community in that you know who does what and who can help with this and that, plus if you look you can always find the guy who makes infused seasonal berries with whisky! ;)

Woke with a slightly buzzed head this morning, in between patches of rain, today is gonna be a rainy kinda day — I’ve gotta do the usual chores today and I’m very keen at ticking off three things of my list today especially while the steem price is up, I need to get some life logistics done.

I spent far too many hours last night gaming, I guess it comes with the drinking and holding onto as many hours as possible, it’s probably time to crank out the really good coffee too — tomorrow will be another town trip to pick up supplies again and sort out the rent for the month.

I’d like to get a screencast done for a client as well, I could do with the fiat funds for that, seems weird to say fiat funds but when you are converting digital value into analog fiat eventually you realise how far down the digital worker hole you have descended.

I’m going to be working on normalising that in the next ‘utility belt’ 3hr+ course and it will be a perfect compliment to the existing course and I hope easier for people to get started with the steem blockchain.

It must be really confusing to people to visualise that their are many different blockchains, that they run on different algorithms in the way they process the ledger information contained on them — after all, when did you ever care how VISA did what they did, you just want your money out of the ATM no matter where in the world you are.

Funny that, the apathy of not caring how it works, just that your plastic card goes in the slot and spits out money, rarely we care how the system works and so we live in an assumed state that it will work and that the brand, in most cases VISA or MASTERCARD will give us access to our funds.

I’m thankful that blockchain and ledgers, especially the transferring and ownership parts have made me more accountable to what I have, how I have access to it, what I do with it, how I can make it create me more value rather than being apathetical about my relationship with it.

I’ve got four ‘work’ things on my list for today.

  1. Video for Client
  2. Video for @dlive
  3. Blog for the day (I’m writing it)
  4. Steemhunt theme and posts

I think I can do that small list, I tend to break things down to the minimum now and then work up from there — I’m more excited to work on the steemhunt theme but I have to go through the client video first (because that’s real life fiat money!) and then onto the @dlive video which should be easy because it’s about delegation links to use in your videos today.

The steemhunt theme is probably going to be my entry way to setup and start a show on another platform to help with our regular audience engagement now that I know you can use OBS with it — this opens up the ability for me to stream to twitch, youtube, dlive and the host platform.

Right now streaming to @dlive requires that you have people that are actively following your blog and KNOW you are streaming - most of the time people can’t watch your live stream as they are busy working or simply don’t know about it, don’t get notifications etc.

I’m going to be working on the notifications and awareness part of the audience development, the biggest problem is making people aware of the schedule and have them checking in on it so I want to work on that from an email alert perspective, push notifications and maybe even some kind of standalone simple interface, I think the new hive mind will help with this kind of discovery as well — excited to learn some python and js stuff ;)

I am moving to a similar little community soon. I must hunt down the seasonal berry whisky man 😂 I like the way you break down to fewer focused goals. I have been doing this more of late. It seems to get me less done but a higher quality of work.

awesome! hope that goes well. the berry whisky was 'different' kinda quite sickly actually but it still got drank. fewer daily goals then if spare creative energy after i can play and experiment.
