Hello. Welcome to Daily(ish four) Thursday, August 11. It's, 17 degrees. No wind chill. It's a humid day, I think.
Speaker 1:I don't know. I haven't been outside yet. I work in a basement. What do I go outside for? This episode of Daily is brought to you by FeedPress.

Speaker 1:So thanks to them. And also possibly Patreon supporters such as yourself, patreon.com/ichris is where you can check out how you can support my podcasting efforts indirectly. I always say directly, but how about indirectly this time? Indirectly with a dollar or two months. It's probably gonna not proper use of English, but that's how you get people's attention.
Speaker 1:Right? The sponsorship reads and stuff and it's just something different indirectly instead of directly. Patreon.com/ichris. In a couple episodes last episode was the one with my kids, boring you to tears with, talk about their robots and stuff, transformers and things, and, and genuine generally being, you know, cute and and all that kind of stuff. So that's great.
Speaker 1:That's episode one seventy nine. In episode one seventy eight, I sent out, and asked for some feedback. Just a quick like, hey, when would you ideally like me to be publishing Daily ish and that you'd like to be listening to it? And I sent out the episode, all was good, and then shortly thereafter the form site broke and broke hard and broke for the whole weekend well into the next week, this this next week. And apparently someone changed their DNS settings on their server or something like that and so that's why the whole thing was down for everybody in the world, which if your business is all about forms and that's all you do and yours the free version is basically to allow you to demo.
Speaker 1:It wasn't the great first impression for me. I'd used it years ago, or a couple years ago anyways, and it is great and neat how you as far as making a quick form. But this was a terrible, use case for example, I guess, of of how it works. So anyways, a couple folks got to submit stuff. It is working again, so I'll include the link in the show notes.
Speaker 1:Basically, just asking what day of the week, daily ish coming out would be awesome for you. Never mind whether it's working for me. The folks that did get to submit so far Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and weekends are are all chosen. So if you didn't get to chance to submit it last time or send in a a response, please do so on the link in the show notes at goodstuff.fm/daily(ish)/18zero. Hundredandeighty,20 more until two hundred.
Speaker 1:And, yeah, Wednesday, Friday fans, you gotta get your votes in there, guess, because otherwise, I'll just stop doing it on Wednesdays and Fridays, which is sad for Wednesdays and Fridays. So but yeah, it's back up and that's honestly all I had for this episode. I we've been hard at work. I I'll talk about this in more detail in the future but my brother-in-law and I have been hard at work on a thing. So actually that's what I'll mention.
Speaker 1:He's got a new YouTube video out if you're ever I'm sure you're sitting there and wondering how can I make a pirate happen hat in the style of Jack Sparrow and that kind of thing? How can I make that, And so I have the answer for you? My brother-in-law, Chris, you're asking the wrong Chris actually, but my brother-in-law, Chris, has a tutorial video how to make it. Go watch it on YouTube. It's even if you don't know don't want to make the stuff that he puts out, which I don't often want to make it, but the videos are entertaining and funny and, creative, enough that makes me wanna watch them no matter what.
Speaker 1:And so he is currently at, 59,000 subscribers, so we could push him over 60,000 pretty soon if, every one of you subscribed a few times over on different accounts. But anyways, check it out. How to make a tricorn pirate hat from foam DIY Jack Sparrow is the title. But anyways, he and I are working together on a project that can't really release details on, but it's really fun working on something has to do with video and audio and stuff obviously both of our interests combined kind of thing and, but it's really fun to work together with someone on a project like this that's not a client project where they're paying me to do work for them but we're working together. I don't have a lot of those.
Speaker 1:Good stuff itself is is one of those projects, I guess. But it's been it's been fun working together and figuring out how as family we can work together on this thing while still, you know, like anytime we get together, it'd be fun to like if we want to hang out with family, but we also wanna like meet and, you know, conduct air quotes business y things. And so you're kind of pulling away from family time to do that and how to balance that a bit because he lives closer now but still you know good eight hours by car, probably fifty some hours by foot. I'm not sure how fast the segue goes. Anyways, lives quite a ways away so it's not just a quick jaunt over but, you know, technology being what it is it's easy enough to chat over over the old Internets and YouTubes and stuff.
Speaker 1:But, at any rate, very shortly hopefully we'll have a landing page set up that you can sign up for information about what we're doing and, and then yeah, more details to be released and determine as they are determined. So hope you're enjoying the Olympics. We've been watching a little bit of it, as a cord cutting folks. We don't have regular cable. It's interesting to watch and sort of explain it to our kids what the different events are when you're just kind of reliant on, yeah, on different there's a CBC Olympics app basically that we're reliant on for whatever they decide to show, but it's been fun to watch and get excited about.
Speaker 1:Canada's not doing amazing, but, I think we're up to five or six medals so far. So, anyways, winter's our specialty. Right? Winter's coming. Few more months, and we'll be back into the glorious beautiful winter.
Speaker 1:Alright. Have a good day. Thank you for listening. Bye.
