Status report

Hey everyone! Thank you all again for your support so far! I'd like to take some time to give you all an update on what's been going on over the past month.

First, the PC build stream. I realize now that there was a lot more that could go wrong in setting up for it than I initially expected; I had tested the individual components of the stream, but did not do a test stream prior to starting, so that ended up taking longer than expected. In addition, streaming to Discord turned out to be a mistake. The reason I did it that way was so that everyone from every platform would have access to it, not just YouTube members. I will be using a different venue going forward - possibly a private YouTube stream with a URL I'll share to members on Patreon and Ko-Fi as well as YouTube.

Second, I've had some trouble with my new workstation that has prevented me from pressing forward with video production, and troubleshooting and working around it has taken a lot longer than anticipated (I do not want to see memtest86 again for a long time if I can help it). At this point, everything seems stable enough, so I'll be able to continue from this point on. I want to sincerely apologize for the long delay; I knew that starting from scratch would be difficult, but I had hoped that things would be more reliable than they turned out to be.

In order to prioritize getting a new video out sooner, I'm planning for the next video to not be related to the new workstation as planned, but instead an alternative "TechQuickie" style topic that I can get out quickly, and may follow that up with the Bluetooth audio video I teased in the channel intro. Once I get some momentum going, I'll come back to the workstation, because I think there's a lot more to talk about there than I originally expected.

I'm planning to have something out in the next week or so - For those of you who stuck around, I once again would like to sincerely thank you for your support! And if you haven't already joined, the Discord turned out to be a great little community, and I try to be active there whenever I can!
