 I know. I know. Hey, Elf. How are you down there? Up here, I'm okay. It's a little cold. Just a bit cold. It's a little cold. Are you driving today? Are you driving? Um, y'all try it. Let's go. How's everybody doing? I'm excited. I'm excited. Yeah. I don't even think I have, I kept waking up because I was excited about, oh, I gotta be there for the kickoff. Do you guys know what you're going to work on? Do you have a plan? Yep. I've got a plan. Yeah. I've got, I've got relatives I've found. Actually, I've, relatives I've found because of the, the connection combat. Oh, nice. Awesome. I'm going to use that at my jumping off point. That's a good idea. Should we start with a little, a live, a live pin cam? Yes. Please. Finnegan, look here. Oh, look at Finnegan. And he's got a new, he's wearing his new duds. Maybe in a month. Maybe sure. Check out my pedigree on wikietree.com. So cute. Such a sweetie. Adorable. What are you doing? What a great way to start the morning. He's headed on for like 10 minutes. And look, he's already shedding. I mean, that's okay. We love you. Now that I've, now that I figured out the technology, we might have a few live pin, pin cams throughout the. We love Team Finnegan. We've got 82 people watching so far from pretty much everywhere. That's amazing. And it seems like it's, it seems like it's cold everywhere, but here. So I'm not going to complain about the weather because everyone knows. Don't cry. I guess we don't have any Aussies or New Zealanders on yet. It'd be warm there. Check out, we have a newbie. Oh. Nice. Welcome. You're going to love it. You're going to get addicted. Yeah, and they know doctor can cure this. You were the, like the second oldest profession in the world, right? I'm not going to say what the first one was, but you kind of know. Not attorney. No. Oh, there she is. There's some Australians. She's Anne. Fear, fear, fear. Wow. Name. Okay. There's one guy at a time. I was expecting John. I'm a friend of mine. I'm a friend of mine. I was expecting John. I was expecting John to chime in. Trying to. See if I can grab everybody. Alabama. We do have somebody. We do have an. It looks like. For them. through wiki tree about our shared mackamoyles. Guess what I'm going to take and have her do. We're meeting for coffee so hopefully she won't have a coffee before I get there. If she's watching, I doubt she is. If she's watching, guess what? Yeah, I agree with that on wiki tree. I'm going to do that as well. Yeah. Yeah, we're watching it too. I'm torn. I've been pumping for 49ers and I'm a big Packers fan so I'm torn. That's right. You know, that's the thing about wiki tree livecast. You can come in and do as much or as little as you want. You can contribute your time and you can stay up all night and not eat or have your spousal unit bring you food or whatever you have to do or you can relax and just enjoy your time doing it. For sure. No worries about that. There's no wrong way. That's right. I was chatting up at the destroyer channel. This morning about the first source of thought and how we were doing it. But everyone who's participating was also crazy. I think Lucy Lavelle had three half hour nap stream that weekend. Wow. Her husband was feeding her. He was feeding her. Well, you can do almost anything for 72 hours. Go. Yeah. People are saying they're going to listen to the live chat but what we're doing right now is reading the comments. Sorry folks. 104 people already joined us. I'm properly I've got my tartis and coffee. Just about one-seventh of everyone who's connecting. What was it? 762? That's a big number. Wow. That's a big number. Very nice. Is it a special number? What can you do with that, Greg? 762? 762. Well, only half of the people in chat already added some profiles. We are at 57 active users right now. Wow. You guys are so cool. Another person with mushroom coffee. Yeah, now I have to find out what this is. What is mushroom coffee? There we go. Patty, what is mushroom coffee? We know what ready to go means but I'm trying to catch up all the people that are saying hello. I have a special plan. I'm going to work on my Appalachian macamoils and they're all from just on the edge of Appalachia in an area called what's in the upstate of South Carolina and I'm going to be connecting though with family here in Canada that's just south of me by about an hour and the person who let me know there was something odd about this family here in Canada is that she sent me a note through WikiTree. She's not a WikiTree yet. She sent me a note through WikiTree saying hey, what do you think about this and I started looking at it and there's certainly something very strange going on and I'm meeting her for coffee in about at 1.30 today. So that'll be fun. Very cool. Great. We don't have name tags. We just assume everybody knows who we are but they always put the name tag down. I know they're not there. It's weird. That is weird. It should be automatic. One more thing. There they are. If you take away the comment. There we go. I never noticed that before. I don't know. We are doing something. I just learned what mushroom coffee is. Oh, we did. I should write it up. It's it's organic coffee made from mushrooms. Wow. Really? Yeah. I'm going to have to pass on that for many reasons but mostly I don't like mushrooms. Derek, Patty just explained it. Oh, okay. Oh my word. Sorry. I did that to you, Greg. Stop. I'm trying to close mine. Mushroom coffee has six mushrooms for energy stress, focus, immune support and digestion and it helps enhance brain function. I have a question. Is this mushroom coffee from a regulated place on the corner down here? Is there something magic about it? Yeah. Is there something magic about it? I would try it. All those benefits sound good. Those sound great benefits for a source or connectathon. I like mushrooms and coffee so I do like mushrooms. The question is does it taste like coffee? Yeah. Does it have coffee in it? Sounds like tea. Sounds like a tea. My spousal unit drinks dandelion coffee. We now have exactly 383. We have a palindrome for the number of profiles we've already been added. Have a look at how many John did. 114 in 10 minutes. What? In 10 minutes? No. He's working on the edge of being locked out. Really thin line there. That's a very thin line. Don't end up in the penalty box. Now we know why June's always so happy. Sorry, June. There is coffee. Okay. Taste like coffee. I'm going to have to try it. Me too. You've added the team names and the user profile page too. I love that. Thanks, Alesha. What are you talking about, Greg? I'm on the stats page and the user page it used to just give all the users from top to bottom but now Alesha's added that on the previous tone. Was it done the last time? I didn't do that today. I added just the division this time. Okay. It's also on the histogram now as well. That's very good. That opens up a whole new possibility for stats. Okay. So June not only has given us her ideas on this coffee she's posted a picture of the package I'm assuming in our picture chat do we have the link for that? Yeah, well I found it. The company is RYZE and I just googled Rise Mushroom Coffee as we have our photo already. The connecting selfies, you mean? Yeah, the people doing connecting the selfies. That post is already up in the description of the video. Description of the video, guys. Down here, down underneath. Right next to the like button. Yeah. While you're there. Yeah. So we talked whether we've talked mushrooms. We've talked how many people are here. We've talked all the people that are adding stuff. We've talked June. Yeah. Right, yes. We've talked as has anybody said the word biscuits out loud because that's important? I think we have. And you're wearing it. Biscuit. Yeah. Sandy said it very quickly. Yeah. And I I could go and get biscuits after this, but they wouldn't be southern biscuits or Appalachian biscuits. They'd be Canadian biscuits, but you know what? It's almost as good. But they're not open until later. Question, we have a question. Oh, when adding a new profile, I need I know I need to have at least one source. Do I have to also include a bio? That's a good question. I say yes, only because a lot of times if you do something and you want to come back to it, it's harder to come back to it than to put something brief up immediately. That's my take on it. And the sorcerer will actually build a a bit of a blurb with your so you're brand new. Do you know about the sorcerer? The WikiTree source. Yeah. The WikiTree browser extension or the source extension. So if you go up to apps. Is it in the apps? Is it in the apps? Yeah, it's in the apps. If you go up to the right hand side of the top of your screen and go down to apps and then scroll down to the sorcerer. What's it called? It's not called sorcerer. It's called the WikiTree sorcerer. So upper right of your screen far over to the right. Click on find then apps and then scroll all the way to the bottom to WikiTree sorcerer and activate it. You have to have edge or chrome. Is it on Safari yet? Yep, you can use it with Safari as well. So there's your answer. Look at that. And what I'm planning to do is immediately when we finish the fun on Monday morning, I'm going to look at my contributions and a list of all the profiles I created over the weekend. And then I'm going to start using those for the Dash of Love challenge that we have going. What's a Dash of Love challenge? The Dash of Love is where we're taking a profile that needs some love and making it over and fleshing out the bio adding stickers and photos. Nice. Another comment. Is it too late to sign up? Unfortunately it is. You need to sign up by Wednesday evening at midnight. Eastern standard time. So you could try and plead your case but I don't know if that will help. I can give you some personal emails if you'd like. For a slight charge. Alice the big thing is is that you can participate you just won't have the points added to your team. So please even if you didn't sign up in time jump in and get yourself done. I missed a simple answer was given to the question about whether a bio is required. No. No. There's your official word from and recommended not required. That was the point was that I often times will do a bunch of work on a bunch of profiles intending having the best intentions and then forgetting to go back around and doing what I intended to do. So sometimes just in nature in life it's better to do things right there while you're at it. And there is an auto bio button when you're in the edit screen and now after you've created a new profile it automatically puts you back in edit mode right. So it'd be easy to just click on that edit auto bio and then it would generate a bio for you and you can just leave it that question I don't see the twisted thistles on a connect-a-thon teams when looking at the number of profiles by team sheet. Lesh the only show well they didn't at any profiles yet most likely. If the team doesn't show up there's one they've got one. They heard you. They're on now. Ask about that link for us for the wiki tree love January challenge. Thank you as so that's 30 teams already on the board how many teams altogether do we have 37 37 and we have divisions again this year. We do. We love you to death. Thank you for letting us know you uploaded a selfie. Oh team Italy's on the board. This isn't Italy Hey Betsy. Yes. Kathy Bauer says she keeps a spreadsheet and goes back to work on the bios later. Do you have a a quick tip for her to get her to see what she's contributed. Yeah you can you can go to your me on the spot there. Sorry. To clean we should give her a title of wiki tree baby wiki tree. I don't know we got to come up. Okay. I believe what you would do am I sharing my screen. Yes. We'll also be possible to search profiles that were added added during the tone after that's right. On wiki tree plus. Okay. So when you're on your profile you can go to your contributions and then you can we've done this before show pair contributions profile creations only or am I in the wrong place maybe this is not the place to do it there's a way where you can profile creation maybe it's under activity feed my menu family activity feed there we go okay so you have to have the wiki tree browser extension for this but then you'll have this special menu and you go oh no there must be another way to get to family activity feed without the it's on the main menu yeah yeah I just have a bookmark because it's so handy and then you can show only profile creation contributions only profile creation and it's not showing me what I want how about I work that out you know wiki there's so many great ways to do so many different things on wiki tree yeah hard sometimes to figure out and Betsy truly you know giving her of being the babysitter or whatever on wiki tree or the newbie person is she's so good about explaining how to do things and get things done and Kathy says thank you very much for that um see I wanted to there was a question ah how often alash are the team and user statistics updated um it's in it says in the last column so camera in five minutes intervals and some other hourly thank you very much at the top of the page where it's gonna say update frequency just check out all the statistical information page on the right update frequency there yes ayo and there's a lot of different stuff going on with this whole keeping track of stuff since we started in it I know it's cool though thanks alash we had finger counting going on crazy manual adding it seems that John edit all the profiles he intended or was locked out because after that I think I saw him say in discord that he had a hundred profiles ready to go aha okay so but he was using sources and he I checked because I was curious and he's got bios and he's got multiple sources in him so so does that mean like he had a hundred windows all open and he's just hitting ready to just hit submit I'm kind of thinking maybe something like that wow you could have loaded up his clipboard with the you know you can't be that fast because that means every five six seconds six seconds for a profile that's just you can't enter paste a few fields because you have to add dates and everything yeah I think he prepared to the last final save and then just open do we give a winky button for the first person to have the most in the very first five seconds yeah Greg do you see that Melissa good night I'll be working on my cc7 this time ah and she has a great answer um to the question that um I coughed on to Benzy you can filter your watch list with biocheck to see empty profiles too oh yes the biocheck app that's very useful so that's another app up there in the far right hand corner under find apps did anybody notice she said she was in Utah no I noticed yes I did actually notice that nice oh my goodness look at Lisa Gervais she's doing the same thing ready to connect nice that's very nice good stuff all right let's wrap this up so people can get to doing their connecting looking forward to it but I want to stay and look at the chat the rest of the day you have to go get a DNA test from your new friend no that's at 1.30 that's after the 12 o'clock which speaking of the devil we'll be back some of us all of us will be back at 12 p.m. eastern daylight or standard time to wow you with our lack of speaking to each other or anyone else it's hard it's hard because there's so much going on in the chat that we all want to watch the chat it is hard not to just stare at the chat we just stare at the chat we just come in you can watch our facial expressions great all right take us away see ya
