 What are you all doing? Good morning, good evening, or whatever it is wherever you are. Michael, hi Paul, hi Matt. Great to see you here. It is indeed just starting, Paul. Well, two hours in actually, to be totally correct about it. But yeah, it is just starting. Hi Michael. And yeah, Matt, I know you're there as well. Hi Matt. Yeah, no comments appear in ECAM that happened before I actually clicked live. So anyone who was there before I actually started, I don't get your comments in here, but I can still see them on my phone. Yeah, I have been up for two hours, but I've been having these late nights. Well, they're not late night really, are they? It's every Friday I have a Zoom call that's basically from half past my bedtime until one and a half hours past my bedtime. So half past eight until half past nine. Hi Michael. Nice to another Michael. We've got another Michael on the call. So yeah, I've been having these things. So going to bed at a little bit later than my normal time. Having a Zoom call that finishes at 9.30 in the evening, I always find I normally like a bit of time to sort of wind down as well after sort of anything sort of work related. So it just means that yeah, these Fridays I feel like I'm going to bed later than I should be. It's probably still early for most people, you know, finishing a call at 9.30 and going to bed at 10. But there you go. It is indeed the weekend. To be honest with you though, I've got to say, I don't really notice the difference between weekends and days. I suppose it's helpful if you love what you're doing and then I just feel it all blends into one. So I guess I'm pretty lucky in that way. But hi Greg. So I'll just get straight on into my little update and we'll take it from there. So my usual update 365 days, we're on day 120. I've done 121 videos. This is my 122nd. So I'm getting a little bit ahead again, which is what I want because when I did the first 100 videos, it was quite nice to have a bit of a buffer. So I'm trying to build that up. If I do like eight videos a week for the next few weeks, then I'll be I'll be a bit ahead. Hey Steve, great to see you here as well. So yeah, 121 videos, 382 subscribers. So that's I think last week I think was on 352 was our 353. So yeah, basically it's another 30, isn't it? So that's probably actually thinking about it. That's the greatest sort of week on week increase that I've seen. But that's to be expected I suppose, isn't it? You know, you're expecting it to sort of go up in a bit of a curve shape. The total watch hours 1.9,000 1900 and 19,000. The interesting thing about these these figures for the hours and the views is that I've noticed is every week, the number of views seems exactly 10 times more than the hours. And you might think that that sounds, you know, normal because they're going to be sort of linked together. But actually, there's nothing to say that those two would be so closely linked. And it's literally every week is the same. And what it means is that basically the the average watch time of my videos is basically six minutes, because if the number of hours is basically a 10th of the number of views, then it's a 10th of an hour per view. So it's it's six minutes. So that's just an interesting little thing. I get I like things like that little mathematical anomalies or not anomalies, but to coincidences is the word. But what I've done as well is I've I've got a little somewhere here. Where is it these graphs? So this is basically the graphs that show my channel since it started. So it started on the 15th of May. And then you can see these are daily views. And then obviously, just the overall arc of it. So you can see how the number of daily views is increasing. And which makes sense, because you obviously got more content. So people are finding it through watching, you know, new people are finding all of the old content as well. So yeah, but just look at those numbers, it's 19,273, and 1925. So, you know, pretty much the first three digits are exactly the same. It's just quite a coincidence that is and yeah, probably gone on about it enough. But it just it just I just found that quite interesting. Hey, Chris, good to see you here as well. I hope you've enjoyed the keyboard Maestro videos this week. I'll talk about those in a minute as well. So yeah, that's that's where we are really. That's the update on the the actual sort of channel thing. Then obviously, the other thing that I've been doing this week is the the great cycle challenge. And I'm going to go on about this a little bit because so it's day 10 of 30. And I've done I set originally last week I set myself the goal of 200 miles. But I've actually I kind of felt after I started doing it because I hadn't ridden for three years, I thought well, maybe I'll be a bit a bit rusty. But it turns out riding a bike is a lot like riding a bike, you never really forget. So I hope that to 400 miles. And I think that's probably a good target for the month because as you can see, I'm on day 10. And I've done basically just less than a third of it. So a third of the way in and just less than a third. So it's going to be a bit of a challenge or squeezing that in I think. And by the way, the actual 365 day videos in a year, I'm kind of thinking I need to up the number of videos in a year to be honest, because I'm feeling like that doesn't feel too much like a challenge, not like the first 100 videos really felt like a challenge because I'd obviously never done it. Whereas now I seem like I've just got into such a routine of it that it's just become sort of part of my daily routine or at least weekly routine because I don't make one every day. In fact, that might be a better challenge actually is to actually release a video every day. So I'm not necessarily doing that some days are released to some days non. So that might be a bit of a better way of doing it. But anyway, I'll get back to the cycling because although you can see that I'm up to a about a third of the way towards my goal a third of the way in, we're still lacking a little bit on the donations. So yeah, if if anybody has found any value in anything that I've done in my previous 120 videos, I'm not really good at sort of self promotion in terms of, you know, my buying me a coffee or things like that, although I do have my little link up there on my live streams, but I don't really push it much in my videos. But I will push this one because if anybody has found any value at all in what I've been doing, then a great way to show your appreciation for all of the content would be to actually go and support this course because I don't think you need to say much about it, do you? It's for kids cancer. And I can't think, you know, having three young kids myself, I do can't think of anything worse as a parent than to have something like this happen to your children. And it seems like I mean, there's loads of terrible things in the world and cancer is a terrible thing for anybody, but there's just something that seems so cruel and unfair about it happening to young, innocent children who have got their lives ahead of them. And yeah, it's just such a great cause. So yeah, if you've found anything useful in anything I've ever said, even whether it's a dollar's worth of value, then just head over to takeonetech.io slash ride and you can make a donation there because that would be that would really make my day that would. So let me just take this off. So this will take you through, although it's a Take One Tech link, it's just redirecting you to the Great Cycle Challenge website. And here you can see that this is where you can track my, you can see my rides, actually. So those are all the rides that I've been doing. I did another 20 miles yesterday. By the way, it's been, I'm really pleased to be doing this again because getting back on my bike, because as I say, I haven't done it for three years and I'm already noticing that I'm getting back into the routine of it and it's less fatiguing now. So this 20 mile ride that I did yesterday was a lot less tiring than the first 20 mile ride I did on day one. So yeah, it's getting, it's getting easier. And it's not just me as well. I have always got to thank Greg for even getting me into this because not just for the cause, but it's going to help me personally as well with my fitness, which had been lacking a little bit. So I am part of the team and let's have a little look at this. How the team's doing because the team's doing better than me with fundraising overall, I have to say. So we've got obviously Matt and Greg in the in the chat. They're both doing it as well. And so far, with our overall team goal, we are at nine hundred and eighty five dollars of a thousand. And I've got to say most of that. It's been down to Randy and India, who have both been doing great. And then there we go. We've got Greg in there as well. And Matt and then that's Keith Pelzer, James Hicks as well. So yeah, it's a great, great cause. Like I say, I'll put my little lower third up with my little scrolling ticker and it'll have the link in there. But it's a great, a great thing to support. So let's have a little look. I'll skip over the ones of Chris saying that I'm brilliant. I'll note them down, though, and I'll put them in my my CV later. I had no time. All right. Yeah, it is tricky to where's your comment gone and put it in there. Yeah, it is a bit, a bit tricky to sort of schedule it, isn't it? To be honest, that's the that's the reason why I hadn't done it for, I'm being on my bike for three years. I'd always found other things that we're getting in the seemingly getting in the way. But I've I've actually started doing some of my videos in the afternoon now, sort of late afternoons or five, six o'clock, something like that. Because I've been, I've been doing some of my cycling in the morning. So the, yeah, it gets quite hot here in the day. So it's not ideal time for, although yesterday my ride was at 2pm, something like that. So or 3pm. So it was a pretty, pretty hot here. So the best time for me to cycle is either in the evening or just first thing in the morning when there's just the sun's just coming up and the tarmac, the road surface, surface hasn't become like a radiated radiating up heat. The other thing about going in the middle of the day is there's loads of dogs here and they, they're free to roam wherever they want. You know, people don't have, always have like sort of fences and things like that. And the dogs are in the yard or in the garden or whatever. They just, they just go where they want really, which is fine. And but where they like to sleep in the daytime in the hot day sun, for some reason, they like to just come out into the road and just sleep like on the edge of the road. So they become a bit of a hazard for cyclists in the daytime. And then in the evening they get quite territorial. If you're on like the back roads, then you either have to watch for them, you know, sort of darting out of the yards or the houses, because they stay in the yard in the night time, but then they'll come flying out if they hear a cyclist go past. So they're a hazard either way, either jumping up and barking at you as you ride past if it's in the evening or morning, but then in the daytime, yeah, just lying in the road and don't quite understand that. So now Greg's saying refresh. Now I'm not sure what's that, is that referring to the, let me have a look, is that referring to the stats, I wonder. Ah, it is. Oh, hang on a minute. Let me come back. Let me come back for a minute. Thank you, Greg. Well, that is brilliant, isn't it? Well, that is brilliant. Thank you very much. I'll have to just come into here a minute. Oh, thank you, Paul. Thank you, Greg. Thank you, Chris. That is absolutely brilliant. And thank you, Michael. You know what? That has absolutely made my day. Thank you very, very much. That really does mean a huge amount that does. That's brilliant. So we've officially hit our team's goal. So it's now time to raise the team's goal, obviously, isn't it? Thank you very much, everybody. Much, much, much appreciated. I don't want to say thank you. That is genuinely made my day. That is great. Starting to communicate on your Facebook. So presumably that's about the cycling challenge. That's great. Yeah. So I've posted it online as well. I made a video about it, actually, and posted it on the channel. But I didn't know how to sort of tag it or anything like that. I haven't had as many views as normal things because it's obviously just people seeing it in their streams. But that's actually thrown me, to be honest. I've been put off my stride now because that has genuinely, genuinely, genuinely moved me that has. Thank you very much, everyone. It's like I say, it's just it's one of these things that, you know, if you think about it, it's just so, so horrible and anything we can do to help. I've also had an email through today talking about they've got some backers that are basically going to be matching donations as well. So that's that's coming at some point for, you know, anything that's been being raised, they'll be they'll be matching it. So I'll be making a sort of separate post and announcement about that at the at the time. But yeah, I've genuinely lost my train of thought now. Well, I'll come back to cycling because there is another part of this which is is to also help with my fitness. So I'm not going to labour the point about my fitness, but I'm also doing tweet one tweet 100. So we're on day 10 of that. Actually, I think I'm on day 11. But there you go. So follow me on Twitter at twitter.com slash take one tech underscore. Can you see what happened there? I set up my website, I set up my YouTube channel and I set up everything else only to find that there was actually another take one tech. It's actually a Japanese thing is a company in Japan. I can't remember now. But they it's like they sell a couple of different products. They're like a seller of a couple of products. So somebody had already taken take one tech and I didn't realise until it shows a bit of a lack of research on my part that does doesn't it. But anyway, someone had already got it. So there you go. But yeah, the within that 100 days. I'm also aiming to ride 1600 miles, basically because that's what it was a thousand. But then Greg mentioned, I think it's 1600, you'll have to correct me if I'm wrong, Greg. But you mentioned that it was 1600, you had to go until the end of the year, I think. Can't remember now. But anyway, so that's where that 1600 came from that sounds a little bit arbitrary. So yeah, and I'm also looking to reduce my my weight. Basically, I need to lose 20% of my body weight. Although I've only set a target of 84 kilos instead of 80. But ultimately, I want to get down to 80. But I thought, well, by the end of the year, or within 100 days, if I get down to 84, I'll feel a lot better about myself. And I also have a lot of extra energy as well, which is what it's all about. More energy to play with the kids and run around in the garden with them. Because it is it's a bit it is a bit bad when the kids are pestering you to play with you. And you're saying I hang on a minute, I just need to need a moment for a breath. Yeah, it is 1600. Great. That is what I thought. I thought I thought I remember that right. And are you doing 80 miles tomorrow? That is great. I'm not sure I'll meet. I'm not sure much that my next one, I think is going to be 60. So after the live stream last week, I just went out and got the kids up and then went straight out on the bike for was it 40 miles something like that. So 40 my next one will be 60. And then and then after that, I'll ramp up. I definitely want to be doing 100 miles though. Before the end of the well, certainly before the end of the year, I'm not sure I'll do 100 miler before the end of this month. But I'll probably do 60 this weekend. And then 80. We'll see. I'm not sure I'm ramping this up at the right pace. There's probably a much more gradual and easier way to do this. But yeah, that's, that's typically me that is I sort of added five kilometers, five miles, then 10 miles, then 20 miles, then 40. And it was actually my mom said, you're not supposed to increase it exponentially. But there you go, doubling it every time. So that is that is where we are with that. I also this week. So there's one thing that I'm basically hoping that somebody might be able to answer this question for me, because I'm setting up a new YouTube channel. And this was came about because of it was actually Matt thinking about it that mentioned that he had got a channel that he's using just for YouTube shorts. And I obviously did the TikTok thing. And as I mentioned before, I sort of fell flat on my face with it because I didn't really have a proper plan with it. And I hadn't spent any time sort of figuring out a strategy to it. So I am going to get that up and running again and start producing some short form content. But I'm also figured, well, I'll set up a separate channel for my YouTube shorts as well, so that it doesn't screw up all of my stats and things like that. Not that I care about them, but I'm very interested in them. So I went through the process of setting up a new channel. And there was something that was a bit different in the way that it appeared. So let me just show you what it looks like. I've got the right one. So this is in YouTube Studio. And this is for my this channel, my current channel. And if you come down to settings down here, where is it? Click there. And then the channel settings. And then when you go to feature eligibility, this is what I see in my current channel. So I've basically got two options here, the default features and features that require phone verification. So the default features is what you just get when you sign up for your channel. But then there's features that require phone verification, which is basically to be able to upload videos longer than 15 minutes, create custom thumbnails, do live streaming and appealing content ID claims. So there's no real hassle in doing it. You just have to verify a phone number basically. So that is what I see in my current channel. And that is what I thought it looked like all of the time for everybody. However, when I went to set it up on my other channel, let me get this one out of the way. There we go. So the one down below here, this is what I see on the new channel. So the top two, instead of saying default features, it says standard features. And by the way, these are exactly the same. And then we've got intermediate features, which is exactly the same as features that require phone verification on this one. But then there's this advanced features one. And what you have to do for that is basically upload an ID. So I did this yesterday. I haven't researched this. There may be an easy answer out there on Google, but I'm just mentioning it because I'm not time to do that. And I thought, well, it may be that there's other people who don't know that there's some potential difference here either. So I'd be interested to hear. And this one, basically, if you look in this advanced features, it says create more live streams daily. Well, I only create one a week. So I've never run into any issues with that. So I don't know what the current limit is. So I'd be interested to learn about that. And also upload more videos daily. Now interestingly, the reason why I sort of cartened on to this was because I was uploading, I just had 30 shorts that I'd done for TikTok. So I basically just dragged them all into YouTube to upload them all and figured well, I'll just get them in there and then I can figure out what I'm going to do with them later. And it hit an upload limit basically saying you can't upload more than 10 videos in a day. And that's what sort of prompted me to go through this process. So then the the other thing is embed live streams. So that's something I've never actually tried to do, but it would be good to just embed them on my, my website. So I don't know about that. And then also eligible to apply for monetization. Well, you're eligible to apply even in the this this one anyway. So and yeah, Matt, so it is the exact same email. So I've just got my my Google email that I use for my YouTube channel and I've created another YouTube channel within that. So basically, if I just come to this other screen sharing for a moment, where is it this one? So all I've done is in here where you can change channel. So I have got different user accounts as well. But this is basically this one. So there's there's my this is my root email. And then I've got take one tech and take one tech shorts. I do have other channels as well with different Google accounts. But these two channels are basically the exact same user account. And then I've got these sort of underneath that. So my take one tech and the take one tech shorts is they may well have done Paul, they may well have figured out my witness protection. My ideas invalid. So yeah, it was just interesting that was I don't know. So so what? So yeah, Matt, what does it show in your channel? Do you have the one where it shows three different options? Or do you have the one where it shows two options? So if I come back into this a minute. That's what I'm and that's what I'm interested to to learn actually is which which one of these two come back to this one. And go to there. So what is the the the the usual? Is it the so OK, so I might have got two options as well. I will indeed, Michael, no problem. Yeah, so well, we'll have to wait and see. I will do some more research and I will report back. You have to go through the same thing when you set up. So I wonder if it is just like a sort of new feature then. But what? Yeah, both are set to exactly the same, exactly the same everything. In fact, so I did literally everything exactly the same almost like the description of the same. It's it's everything's identical, both with the same email address, both set to the same location and everything as well. So that's interesting. You have two options, but it's with a different address. Okey dokey. Right, well, it looks like I'll have to do a bit more digging around and then I'll report back. So yeah, just coming back to Michael's question, what are YouTube shorts? Basically, YouTube shorts are videos that are less than a minute. They have to be less than a minute. And they're vertical as well. So rather than having it's designed basically for people watching on the phone. And sometimes if you go into YouTube, you'll see at the I think it's at the top, they have like a little scrolling thing at the top that's got basically you've got all your videos and thumbnails going down in a list. But at the top, sometimes they've got a separate one that you can sort of scroll left to right, which is just all YouTube shorts. And they're just supposed to be short form videos a bit like you would get on TikTok, which is just a pure short form video platform. And the way that you create them is the video has to be less than a minute. And then all you do is you put hashtag shorts either in the description at the beginning of the description or in the title. And then YouTube just figures it out that they're they're shorts. They tend to get different sort of viewing sort of characteristics than standard videos, which is why I don't want to put them in with my main videos. So I'm just going to do it as a separate channel. And then, you know, basically directing people to the main channel, but they will be sort of a standalone thing on their own as well. And that's what the plan was with TikTok as well. So that one had links to my main channel. So it's kind of like a another way you can get some that gets a lot more views. So for example, my TikTok videos, I only did 30 of them in five days. But basically, with those ones, they would, you know, like the first video did got something like 600 views or something like that. Well, I never normally do that many views on my main channel. So it's a way to sort of get potentially more views to then sort of direct people in. So that was my reason. Hey, Heather, great to see you here. Loving that the community, by the way, they just create more. Look at this. There we go. I've even got an overlay for it. And I've cunningly redirected using my my affiliate link there as well. So you know that people have come from me. So yeah, that's what that's what YouTube shorts are anyway, Michael. And it's just like I say, I did start doing it in the with with TikTok. And then basically just didn't have a proper strategy for it. So I sort of let that fall by the wayside for the past few weeks. But I'm going to just sort of spend a bit of time just getting everything all set up so I can be doing them on YouTube on TikTok and then also on Instagram as well. So that's well be posting that sort of that sort of stuff. But if anybody does fancy jumping on, then do feel free to use the usual link. I still haven't made your stinger, by the way, Greg. I almost got around to it. I got around to starting it, but I didn't I didn't finish it off. So we might have to wait for another week if you if you did fancy joining. Oh, there we go. It's Matt. One second. Just Matt in. It's just loading up. There we go. Guest one. Hey, Matt, how you doing? Oh, I haven't got your sound at the moment. I'm not sure if that's me. Guest has muted themselves. Let me have a little look tonight. It may be muted in the actual in the browser, Matt. It says guest has muted themselves. Oh, and we've got Greg as well. Hey, Greg, how are you doing? What's up? Good, good, good. I should have left the my little names up from last week. I should have guessed. How's everything going for you this week, Greg? It's been busy, you know, a lot of things going on. Fund raising is starting up for the company. So we're just kind of busy. Cool, cool. Hey, Heather. It looks like you had our stream as well. We had a last minute cancellation. So we swapped in a panel of people. It was an affair. A ride. Hey, Greg, how are you? How are you, Matt? How are you been? Very good. I was not on the bike for a week. You didn't get any riding in this week. In fact, I'm just waiting the the weekend to accumulate all the cycling at once. You're just going to go for the go for one big long bike ride. That's what I'm doing. Actually, I didn't ride this week either, because um, see the bike behind. Oh, yeah, cool. Nice. Nice. Yeah, same thing. I have I'm doing my 80 mile ride. So I try to do about 100 a week. And so I didn't want to like exhaust myself before like a big, big ride. So Oh, by the way, that the ride you did where you had two punctures. What was it? Six hours in the end? Six hours to do 16 miles. It was terrible. I really felt for you when I read that. Yeah. Yeah, that was horrible. I don't even know where I'm going to ride 80 miles tomorrow. I haven't figured out how to actually do an 80 mile loop. Right. Will be my taper week. And then the Saturday after that is my race. I'm doing 100 mile race. So Oh, that's right. Right. So that what is that the last last weekend in September than that one? I think so the 25th. Right, right. Yeah. So I'm not sure I'm not sure we have 100 miles. I've also never ridden 80 miles. So we'll see. I'm not sure that I can ride 100 miles. I mean, maybe it will take me two days to do it. Hey, I'll just I'll just quickly tell Heather. So we're basically doing this thing. Let me just cover myself up for a moment. It's the great cycle challenge. And it's for every day in September. And we're basically raising money for kids cancer. So it's a big organized thing. And yeah, we've got a little team going. So if Tom is a rider and fancies putting his riding miles into action in another way, then if you follow this link, take one tech.io slash ride, this will take you through to this page, basically, whoops, not this page, it'll take you to this page, which is my page on the great cycle challenge. But then just come down here. And there is my team. And then you can basically just join the team. So you can sign up to to start being in the the the cycle challenge as well. But then click on View my team. And then you can just go and join the team from there as well. And you'll see when it loads up. Look at that. That's very slow, isn't it? What's going on? Here we go. So there's Greg, Matt, me and then a few other people India, who I'm sure you know, India and James Hicks, Keith Pelzer, I know you know Keith and Randy Wilburn. So that's our team. Yeah, it'd be great if Tom is a regular cyclist and you in fact, then it'd be great to have you in the in the team as well. So we were aiming to raise $1,000. But we've actually just today, thanks to some very kind donations from the people on this stream, we've just pushed that over to 1100. So we're going to have to reassess our goal, I think, aren't we? But that is that is why we're talking about cycling on this this stream. So that's what that is, Heather. Oh, tell Tom that does he track it in an app if he joins the the team? I believe all the credit he will get credit for the the miles over. That's right. Yeah, it will. Yeah. Yeah. So anything that is because I'm using Strava, but if he's using anything else as well, then yeah, you can also manually add rights if they don't import. So it can be backdated. Yeah. We'll easily do a thousand miles. That's no problem. Oh, yeah, definitely. Yeah. Yeah. So so yeah, we're both on is your target 400 as well? Great. Mine is currently 400. But yeah, I will try because of the race, I've been pacing myself as opposed to trying to exert myself too much. So I'm not sure if I'm going to go past it much. But yeah, I'll try to get it to 500 at least. Yeah. I'm a very small contributor. Well, it's all it's all relatively every mile and dollar counts, the totally totally. Yeah. Yeah. That's been very, very, very difficult. I'm telling you because it's the same as Alec. I stopped for maybe one year or more. And last weekend, I said OK, that's for the kids. I jump on the on the bicycle and I was like, I was adding kilometers after kilometers. Yeah, it's a good motivator, isn't it? I find it. I would have turned around a lot sooner on some of the rides that I've done this month. It's yeah, but it's like, I've got to keep going. That that was amazing. I mean, like, honestly, it was giving me some additional. I said, OK, I will stop at 25 kilometers. Sorry, I'm talking in kilometers, not in miles. Yeah. And I was like, continuing 25. OK, five more, five more in this conversation, kilometers. So that was that's really motivating. Yeah. Oh, I've just got to put Keely's comment up. Let's let's take a screenshot of that one, guys. Hi, Keely. I don't have any red, though. I feel bad. We've we've let Keely down. We have some more. Haven't we yet? Yeah. We'll have to adjust that for next time. Oh, hi, Rich, as well. Yeah, that is typical. Tom overachieving, as always. Yeah, it's yeah, it's been that being great to get back into the cycling. Whoops, wrong comment. Whoops. I am moving. I don't know about you. I have to leave at six a.m. to get my ride in like and it's 60 degrees out Fahrenheit. Right, right. Yeah, that's that's pretty pretty hot. We have a similar heat issue over here as well. But it's like, he's OK. Yeah. But by midday, let me let me check. I think it'll be it's going to probably take me six hours to do 80 miles. So by the time I come back, it's 99 right now. It's 100 degrees Fahrenheit here. Right, right. In Denver. Let's see. By noon, it'll be ninety one. Woo. It's a 30 30 degree gain. Yeah, you better bring a lot of water. I am. Yeah, I've got two water bottles. I don't know, you know, there's here, you don't have to ride on the roads, actually. It's great in Colorado. We have trails everywhere. Oh, cool, cool. So so even when I did my 60 mile, my 70 mile, five mile ride, I didn't go on the roads at all. I was on trails the whole time. So that helps make it a little safer. In terms of just, you know, not getting on the roads. But also usually means you can pull off and find some water or stop. And I don't drink a lot. I don't know. I never even finished my two bottles on the in the five, six hour ride. All right, right. Oh, yeah, I'm drinking right. See, my problem is I don't have to pee. So yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't know. You don't you don't have any shoe like cramps or like recovering because. That's I mean, desideration is kind of like the enemy of the cyclist, you know. Yeah, I haven't, you know, not going to have an experience that too much. So last time I had two bottles of water and I stopped and I had a coffee, actually. So. And I had about a thousand calories because I'm actually still actually cutting down for a show as well. Right, right. So I'm going to balance the two things there in a very odd spot where I don't want to eat too much because I'm managing my calories. But I had about a thousand calories on that ride. But it's at Strava said I only burned like sixteen, seventeen hundred. So I don't know. I don't know if Strava is really accurate in calculating the calories. It depends on people's, you know, bodies and and type of effort. I mean, like they are doing this calculation, but I don't think he's really accurate. You do your best, right? I mean, if you're tracking what you're eating, then you at least relatively know. So, you know, everything with with with people, everything is just directional, right? Like am I going in the right direction? Exactly. I've got I've got breaking news. We've now got Tom on the team. Very fast. We're we're we're in business. That's right. Thank you. That's good. Yeah, Keely, I do. I know dehydration well, but way better than Paul may understand. That's awesome. I'm really psyched up. Tom's on the team now, too. Yeah, yeah. It's got some miles in now and then some dollars. Yeah, yeah. That's good. And maybe I like you can share the video that you have. I mean, share. I mean, like put in the chat or somewhere, the video you have done. Yeah. That would be good for those who are watching the replay if there is any is watching the replay. So at least they have the link there. Yeah, yeah, I will do. I'll drop by him. So like this is it's good, you know, that that will support the calls and in fact, is my wife also was kicking my ass. Sorry for that, but she was like pushing me like said, you have to do it. You have to. And it's true. This week was crazy for me. I mean, on my nine to five job, you know, and that was a crazy week. And she was like, you have to do it. You have to get back on, you know, on the bicycle, you know, you have to do it for the kids and so on. And it's true that he's giving me like this extra. That's why I was showing you this bike is just waiting for me and it's ready for my seven a.m. right in two hours. Cool stuff is after after the thing on the just create more community as well. Are you going to the camera thing? Yeah. Yeah, I'm going to head over there as well. What's the camera thing? There's a every excuse me every two weeks now, I think it is they're doing the thing for basically like camera tips and things like that for people who are setting up. This is in the there we go. I'm going to have to join this. Yeah, it's great, man. It's it's great. And it's like, um, rather than being just I'm using Heather's referral code. No, just kidding. How dare you get off my stream? Yeah, it's really it's really great. It's like it's the first time I've used this sort of thing that's kind of like a I forget where it's going now. Mighty Networks. So it's like a self-contained self-contained community that doesn't necessarily Yeah. So that's the link. It's just create.com. But yeah. Take one tech.io slash create is the referral link. I think the boss is going to know who referred you because I think so. I think I've used also I've used the Alec referral link. So yeah. Chris is over there as well. I'm telling lots of people about it. Yes. I don't know if I can abide by these community guidelines. No profanity. No, I'm out. I'm out. Like right before I go off this stream, I'm just going to blur out a bunch of curses to get ready. Yeah. That's a great platform, by the way. And they have a mobile app as well. Yeah. That's where I use it as well. So it's quite. Yeah. It's good just the way it's all structured and different. Yeah. Just really, really well thought out. I'm not. I've just realized I'm not just saying that because you're here, Heather. That's what I said to everyone. Yes. Yeah. It's a great one. And there is great people as well and sharing like very good tips. And that's that's that's a. And also it's a way for creator who are alone. They don't feel alone anymore. Yeah. Yeah. They join on the same boats and sharing, you know, informations and and feedbacks and honest feedback. Sorry. And very good criticized. Yes. Which is great. Which which link is that Keely, the please post that link. Which one is it? Is that the just create more link? Is it or I guess it's just great more. I just realized with them you come live when you're going through restream, then the little thing to post in the chat window is only there if you if you're going directly to just YouTube. Whereas if you are in the. If you're doing through restream, then you can't comment. So I'll have to just post it somewhere else. You see what I mean? I can't post it on the on the the chat if you want. Cool. I just signed up. What do I do? What should I go? I need to mess up. Well, if you so if you if you've just joined up, then if you go to the events, then there is one there starting in 14 minutes. So that's my countdown started. Which is for. Yeah. How do you use your camera? I don't know how to do it either. That's a good idea. That's the one. Yeah, but it's good because it's just sort of general general questions and stuff like that. So yeah, I occasionally turn turn a knob and I'm like, crap, how do I get out of this mode? Now's the chance to get those questions answered. Yeah. But there's lots of other events in there as well. Yeah. It's take one tech.com slash life. There you go. There you go. Take one tech.io slash create. I am sorry. Take one tech.io. But yeah, it's it's good. We were talking about other sort of like zoom calls and things like that that we can do other events that we can do within the community. So there's been a few good ideas about that. I'm going to do one at some point. I've got to just actually get around to scheduling it. I did ask if anybody wanted me to do one about just in e-cam in general or something like that. So I could do that. And someone had mentioned one about stream deck as well. So yeah, it's just all the community coming together and creating like events for each other as well. So it's I mean it's great. We've got things like obviously the e-cam community and stuff like that, but that's quite large, isn't it? There's something about having a nice little smaller community. I'm not sure it won't be small for long. There's new people signing up every day, obviously, but yeah, it's really, really great. Yeah, I'll happy to do that as a maybe like even like a recurring thing, get your questions answered, that sort of thing, get every couple of weeks or maybe I'll I'll get my ass into gear and set that up. So yeah, and speaking of which, we've got 12 minutes to go until that thing is starting. So you were well, to be honest, one of the things that one of the things that I was going to do after my 100 days on YouTube thing was actually spend some time and update all of my overlays and stuff like that as well, but I still haven't quite got around to it either. I have a question for you. Yeah, cool. Why do the comment bubbles seem to need to be adjusted constantly? Well, technically, if they all come in at the same place, but what it doesn't do, if you've if you're on the the beta then if you've got different profiles, then they'll remember where they are. But I don't normally have this little ticker running. So I'd got it set so that basically these were now moving the wrong thing. Is the coordinate system from the top left? Like is that 00? I don't know technically how they do it, but it should come in at the same place every time. The other thing is that's a bit strange is well, it's not strange. But if you have got your scene locked, then the same when you add in any overlay, it will appear in the show in all windows. So if I lock the scene a minute. Right. If I lock the scene and I add a comment in like that and then I change to a different view. So say this one, for example, you see the comment still stays there. Whereas if I unlock the scene and then I add a comment in. So, well, welcome James. Good to see you. So now if I go over, so this scene's unlocked, it's added this overlay into the actual scene itself. So when I change scene, it disappears. So it should actually remember the the location of them. But it's just if I've played around with stuff, like there was a Keely's one, for example, there was a big long one from Keely. Where was that? And when that came up because it was just a much bigger thing when I put it up, I realized like this, it it was a bit too big. So that needed to realize people are adjusting it. Okay. Cause I know like, I've seen many people like adjusting that thing. And I'm like, why is it not where you want it? If people could just keep their comments to one line or less. It would be perfect. I do have, I have another question and I threatened that I was going to get to answer, but now I'm going to make you answer. Yeah, go on. So today I have a scene. Yeah. And I'm using this, this thing that Tom did or that Tom mentioned with the invisible timer. And it says go to the next scene. Yeah. Right after the next scene, I have a folder with two camera views in them or two scenes in them, but it always skips over that folder and goes to the one after it. Yeah. So it will, it will just go to the next scene. What you'd need to do is you'd need to have that scene within the folder. Cause then you could have it just, so if you've got, if you've got a folder with multiple scenes and you say go to next scene, it will cycle through them and actually return back to the first scene in that folder. That's thanks cause that's my intro. So, I got you. So I use it as my intro and then I have this camera group where I'm like, okay, just rotate these two cameras, you know. Yeah. And, but it, it skips that all the time and so can I tell it to go to a name scene or do I have to only go to the next scene? I put that in as a feature request already actually. So I definitely go into it and add it again as a request cause that would be ideal. I do that with my, with my, I do the same thing. So with my titles on my normal videos, it goes through from my titles, then it goes to a one that has just got my lower third separately. And then from that, once that little video is played, it goes through to my main scene. So then when I'm doing my live stream, it has the, I still use the same title. So I have the, I just basically move my, my sort of titles just above my, below my countdown timer. So I just have to move those around to do it. But yeah, that is, that is a bit tricky. We're just cursing at you in Latin. So don't put his comment on, and it's also more than one line. Thanks for that, Rich. I'm sorry, Keely. I didn't mean it. You know I didn't mean it. Don't be upset as well. Yeah, it should have a comment for formatting should switch between each scene with each scene. It should definitely, it does do it like I say with, with the profiles in the beta version. But yeah, it doesn't with each scene. It's one of these things though, if we all just go in and put it in a, in fact, I will add that on into the beta group today about the, the commenting because it would be good if it just remembers the formatting. The other thing is if you, if you, if you've got something where you haven't actually done any formatting before, you've created a new profile or something like that. But then you've gone in and created a, an invisible timer, for example, with some transparent text in it. Then if you go and create, if then add in a comment, it remembers the last formatting of the text. So I've had it before where I've set up something new and then gone in and I thought, why can't I see the comment? But it was just because I'd still got invisible text. Well, I had a question though. He's like, why is there a reason I couldn't put it the intro in the folder? The reason is that the last scene in the folder when it repeats goes back to the beginning. And so then it would technically play the, the intro again. What you could do is you could have What if I put a folder in a folder? Can I do that? You'd still have the same issue then where you're basically just moving everything down a folder level because you it wouldn't cycle back to it. The only way to do that would be to just have the intro and then your initial camera view. And then just actually I'd say, oh, you could do that camera. Multi action. Multi action, right? So, yeah. So the the way to do it is you have your you start in intro. You know how long that's going to be. Have that go to it might be safer to just have it go to a duplicate of your first camera angle. And then like leave a delay that's like longer than you, you know, you're going to need for your intro and stuff like that. And then after that the delay would take it to the first one in the folder and then it would just start cycling through the folder. Right. All right. I'll test that because I noticed it like three times. I'm like, what the heck? Why is it on the end screen now? And I'm like, oh, it's skipping this thing. Yeah. Yeah. Well, also because on my streams, most of the time I get impatient waiting for the countdown timer. So I stopped it. I stopped it anyway. So I never noticed that it wasn't doing it. Yeah. To be honest, I hate countdown timers. I mean, I'm always feeling like that on this one. It's only like three minutes or something, but I think I did it. I did the dancing video. Which one's that? She has a, today, I guess there, maybe she's on vacation, but she had a looping video of her dancing to the song. So people, I didn't realize it at first. I thought it was just her right. And everyone was laughing because she's doing all these weird scenes and acting out stuff. Got you. Right. Right. With the loop, so it definitely repeats. Yeah. Yeah. I need a body double and just record one dancing there for three minutes and then. We will definitely ask you to dance in 100 days. I mean less right 90 days We'll have the before and after dance right I'm shutting down the YouTube channel it's over Or you you choose like you choose like a very specific time frame where you know there is less audience Yeah, maybe you will have one or two viewers Normal time for you Midday time time Don't worry Matt will be there You're doing it as well man you suggest Every word has a purpose I Think you can we shut down the I don't know if they have this kind of filtering, you know Okay, guys Thank you very much. I will have to jump out Time to jump to the other everyone go to just create more. Yeah. Yeah, definitely Just got to say appreciate that Michael the rest of this comment was sent telepathically to ensure this was short If everyone could just do that in future that'd be great I'll see you in there just create Well, thank you everybody for for coming along Oh Good stuff Keeley you'll love it in there. It's brilliant more great people like like us and Yeah, thanks to everybody by the way for the the donations today for the cycling challenge It really really has made my day that has so Yeah, thanks. Thank you so much much appreciated. I'll still keep going on about it for the rest of September though Okey-dokey that is all for me today. I've lost my lost my train of thought now as well again So yeah, I'm going to sign out now and head over to just create more to go and join the zoom call Which is starting in about three minutes. So thank you all for coming I look forward to catching up with you all on the other side And if not then somewhere here in the next week or so. All right, I'll let catch you later and For those watching on the replay, there'll be some more videos coming up next. Have a great day everyone. Bye. Bye
