A Website. Holy crap.

This should be a blog post. But see this first.:


Yes. that is progress on an actual effing website you see there, friends. Right now I have it almost ready to go live, I just need to figure out GitLab Pages and get it live. And then write a script to actually put content on there. But details, am I right? LOL. This is progress, and that's more than can be said for the what, 2 years ...

WTF is 4M Linux?

4M is an interesting little independent distro. I'm not kind to it until the end, so if you want some positivity, skip the last 10 minuts or so. Half this video is me being an idiot and not noticing that there was more to the menu than I originally thought.

Early Access Update

So I haven't done a very good job of releasing videos early lately, for that I apologize. That being said, I plan on doing better. Right now I have three videos recorded and I'm about to record another. So some time in the next week or so, I should be able to get EA back up and running on a much more consistent basis.

I also plan on doing a better job of releasing my weekly blog post on topics that aren't announcements, that should start next week. 

Thanks everyone for your c...

Kensington Expert

So I've been using a trackball now for a few months, but the Logitech one that I got, is kinda trash. The ball slows down all the time for no reason. So I decided to try another one. Using a rec from DT, I bought the Kensington Expert. 

First off, it's huge. Way bigger than I was expecting. Also, the wrist rest is shit, like utter garbage. Cheap and smaller than it should be. 

That would be fine if it didn't suck as a trackball. Now, you're never going to get the accurac...

Patron Exclusive! - Most Under Rated Distro

So, the podcast this week is going to come out on Saturday. This right here is a solo podcast that I recorded this week when Tyler had some issues. The problem is I then had my own issues where I deleted the FUCKING video of the solo pod. So, you guys get this, mostly unedited, podcast. It will never be uploaded anywhere else. I'm also giving it to all levels of patrons as a thank you for being awesome!

Have a good weekend,

Thoughts on 5000

Reached 5k subs this week. A year into this and I honestly can't believe how well this has gone. There have been times when I make a video that flops or views go down or there has been a terrible comment, that I've wondered why I keep going. But overall, it has been a very good experience.

I've been on social media since 2004 when I joined Facebook (back when it was just a social media network for college students, you even needed a .edu email). I've never really been successful at it. ...

Early Access ... sad face

I just wanted to give a brief update on what's going on. I know that I have not done a good job this last week or so getting videos up early. Real life has just been kicking my ass, so I've not gotten ahead like I normally do. Hopefully I can do a couple early access videos this upcoming week (for sure there will be a pod on Thursday). 

In the meantime, thanks for being patient and for your continued support.

Hope everyone has a great week,


Matt
