The next office vlog update is here, and the long of the short is, streaming works and I want to make it better!
This is an early version of the video that I'm going to cut down a lot more before release and hasn't been fully color corrected yet. But there are going to be more musings in this version than the final one that I'll drop to make it a more reasonable length f...

Hello, I haven't had an office vlog ready in a while and wanted to do a quick update video on some of the projects I've been working on that will eventually make their way into some. There's just been a lot of things I've needed to do preliminary tests with before I could start making bigger plans and some other in-progress projects that are still ...

Hello! This is not the video I've been spending most of my time on recently. I've been working on a number of bigger projects around the office that haven't finished yet but I think I can make a check in video on one of them, I'm going to starting putting a video together on that next and ...
A few days ago I decided to quickly test doing some live streaming from the office while I was putting together the shelves people sent. It worked out very well and I just thought I would put up the recording from it.
Getting to try out the real-time interaction with people while working was so much more fun than I expected and I'm really looking forward to doing my more elaborate plans now!

In the process of creating the office vlogs there have been a few times I have recorded a vlog and then thrown out the video because I've had problems or was held back by something preventing me from finishing it and I've just tossed the video and moved on. But I had a couple of big things here that didn't turn out quite as I planned and I was going to chuck the footage but the...
I've got the trimmed down version of 0x08 done now! This one was much more difficult to edit than the others and with all the holiday stuff going on it just kinda dragged on. I have 0x09 filmed already and will be editing it next. Hopefully that one goes smoother.
Still making progress though!
Here is an early cut of office vlog 0x08, it's going to have to be heavily trimmed because there is just too much talking while I think things through.
I talk a lot about what is going to happen with the Data Generals and how they dictate the layout of the space because working on them is going to be quite the challenge.
Hello! This is a different thing that I figured I would post about here. I've been spending the last couple weeks working on this off and on and decided to just push through it the last few days until it was done.
This is a program that will let me automate *everything* I do with my footage files now! To help convey the significance of that to me, a little history about the channel and how I have worked with my videos from the beginning may be useful. I started out filming with a Nikon...
This took a long time to edit and I think you'll see why as it goes on. But this was an interesting one being the first full video with the Gopro and trying to make it work out.
The middle of this video was a turning point for me where I decided to just change my focus to ending the storage as soon as possible. The date for renewing it was coming up and I wanted to shut it down this billing cycle. So it doesn't get any big centerpieces done, but I make a lot of progress.

This is a special supporter only episode of the Office Vlog series! I got a new camera just for the office vlogs because everyone has been enjoying them so much! (and hating my shaky phone footage). I needed to do a test run of the camera to get a feel for it and how to best use it so this is an experimental mini-vlog of sorts that let me run through the whole process with less pres...

Double prizes! I had filmed these videos back to back and edited them in one go to see how that would work out. I'm not sure if I'll do it again but here's yet another office vlog now!
In this one I get my huge storage shelves into the office now and move a lot of the more substantial items in from my collection. This one really started to make it feel more real to me.

The next office vlog is here! In this one I get to continue making use of the new bookshelves and I move my server rack in!

I'm making more progress and FINALLY got my hands on some proper bookshelves! I also had a chance I couldn't pass on to get some new HP test gear to add to my electronics bench! This is a bit simpler of a video with the tasks for the day but I was too excited and just wanted to go into more detail on them.

The construction is finally done and I have the all clear to start moving in to my entire office space! Now things are going to get really real as I start figuring out much bigger picture things!
I'm not sure when I want to release this video because I want to give the New XP video some more time as the front runner for my channel. But I'm just going to get started on th...

I'm going to be releasing this video earlier than expected today because I want to get weekend views on it and because someone else apparently copied my idea. I'll be releasing it as soon as I can get the subtitles finished on it.
But here it is! The all new windows XP build! It's so nice to have actually got it done in time to release. I co...

Next up I struggled to find just a single bookshelf after spending way too much time trying to get one. But it will be worth if for the project I need it for, trust me.
I also finally got all the stuff needed to do the hardcopy printouts back together and did some initial testing on how I'm going to print out the labels for the physical supporters! I've never mentioned how I d...

I've got the second Office Vlog done! I need to space these out more, I planned on trying to do daily videos but I was so wrecked this day I filmed after moving all the games, filming, and editing the video in one day. So I'll probably have to make them every other day to make this less stressful.
A few of my objectives didn't work out in th...
It's time for the first real video in the office! I'm going to try doing a bit of a Vlog style thing as I get the place set up so I can get some videos out while I'm busy. I'm going to try and make as many as I can as I go along so you can see the process. This is the first one on getting my PC game shelves in and set up for an A-Roll set! I'll be releasing this today in a bit and am going to see if I can do daily videos for a little bit while I get settled in. No promised though since this i...

I've got my office! Yesterday I got the keys and will be starting to move some stuff in! It's going to be a little bumpy to get started for reasons I mention in the video but at least I can get back to filming!
2021-10-07 12:46:12 +0000 UTC View PostI signed a lease for an incredible office space today! The landlord needs to do some construction on it before I can start moving in but the process has begun now!
I can't thank you all enough for making this possible. With my situation because of the move I wasn't really sure how filming was going to be possible. But this space much more than just acceptable is going to open up so many more possibilities and will give me way more space to actually have concurrent projects. I've alread...
Hello, things have been more of a challenge for the move than I was anticipating and I've been doing nothing but getting things done for that over the last two weeks. I'm still in the process of moving which has been a lot of work because I am moving in with family which required moving some of their stuff first. I'm in the home stretch now but I don't see there being any time I can set aside to get a video edited between now and the end of the month when I have to be out if this house. So I ...

This is one of the pre-recorded videos before I started packing. I'm really glad I recorded some videos in advance because between packing, searching for offices, and some other things I barely had time to get this finished.
This is a video I've wanted to do for SO LONG and it's such a simple concept. But it has been fraught with issues ever...
A brief update on what's going on, I'm still putting as much time as I can into moving at the moment. I was hoping to have enough time this week to edit a video but it just didn't happen with everything going on. I'm going to be setting aside some time to get that done as soon as I can though.
I'm going to be working out how to do the physical hardcopy tier as well and may make a short livestream out of writing some software to automate labeling. I wanted to also use this as a moment t...
Hello all, I'm seriously looking at getting an office space for filming now. What I'm seeing online seems like I could get something around 600sqft for $1/sqft/month which would be doable for me and possibly large enough for me to not need a storage unit so the total cost change would be even less than it seems.
I'm going to start calling some places soon to see what the costs are and what restrictions there may be. But I was curious if anyone has any experience with renting an office ...
This is the first pre-recorded video to cover me while moving. I've been meaning to do this for a while and finally got to a point where I knew there was no pending mail and... well I needed to start packing for moving so the boxes will be helpful.

This last weekend has been a lot physically. mentally, and emotionally and I just wanted to do a short update video on as much as I can and to say thank you because you all have really made a huge difference for me.
Hello, first off I have to say just how awesome you all are and how grateful I am for the response to my predicament. It's going to be immensely helpful.
I had to go through teespring's customer support to get my account re-activated because it's been so long since I've tried to do merch. But I got everything all done today and the designs are now available. They're up here: https://tech-tangents.creator-spri...

This video isn't really meant for everyone here (who have been overwhelmingly amazing and I can't thank you all enough!), this will be the public video to let everyone know what's going on. This experience has also been somewhat of a wake up call for me that I have been barely scraping by and need to double down on my efforts to make more from the effort I put into the videos. ...

UPDATE:
After some feedback I've added an additional $10 tier that is a raffle to win the hardcopy printout each month. There's information there on how I plan to do it for now but if anyone has any feedback on that or input on other or additional tiers I'm open to them.
UPDATE 2:
I was advised that patreon doesn't allow raffles for le...
I decided to tackle the failing buttons on my mouse for my Atari ST, but I didn't want to just just put the same terrible switches back in and have it become a problem later. So I came up with a way of putting better micro switches in instead!
This video ended up being a lot longer than I initially planned so I may go back and trim it down a bit. I made the whole thing a lot quicker than normal because I'm trying to build up a bit of a buffer right now for some other projects. So the p...
