Nothing much to see here, really, just a test.
Live. If there's a slight, there we go. we're live I Think we're live folks. sorry for uh, that was a uh pebcak moment.
Oh no. that was interesting. Problem exists between keyboard and shair. Right when that went live, my um, my hangout screen popped up a warning that says Dave Jones has just started broadcasting the stream exit Now Yes or no, right? And what happens if you didn't press yes? does it not put you on until you press yes I No I ignored it and it just went away.
Oh so that was my fair warning to get out of here. So if I wanted to, yeah, got it and that and that's why the countdown. So you probably had the 10 seconds right? Oh I need to mute myself again. There we go.
Oh much better. All right. Hello to everyone out there watching my Live Ustream We are doing this. We just just discovered this magic.
Um I'm here with uh John thank you. How do you pronounce your last name Shook Shook John Shook I Always thought it was such or something like so did you find the chat thing on on YouTube yeah uh yes, hang on No, it's different. No. I've got yet another different silly window here.
Let me try the address on its own. There we go. Right now it had something appended to the end of the URL and that was causing the chat window not to show up so I can actually so this is. well, this is our second test because we were playing around with the first test and this is our first.
T wanted to see, wanted to see where all the comments went. All the comments went and we figured out that all of the comments in the live hang on I'm going to Tweet this this is the direct link to my live stream now on YouTube Boom Excellent. So yeah. um so apparently there's a if you go to the direct video address which is Youtube.com/watch Markv equals blah blah blah blah blah.
then you'll see a chat window on the right side and like a live comment. but it's actually not a chat window. it's a live comment window where all of the comments will appear on the saved video later which is comments as as comments. and if you do an hour show, there could be thousands of them.
Um, oh, you'll have to go back and edit those right? And I can pop out the chat window too. I can pop out as a separate, uh, separate little pop out that's handy. Now how's the video quality? Can anyone who's live in the YouTube watching on YouTube as opposed to Google Plus Because we're actually using Google+ here? that is the mechanism. but then it feeds it.
Um, somehow I've been given the uh, the honor of uh, being able to live broadcast my YouTube my Google+ feeds onto my or hangouts onto my YouTube channel. It's too many buzzwords here. Can't keep up. Oh man, what's the Ti? 3:52 I Was supposed to be home after lunch I Can't believe nobody else has jumped in here.
Yeah on the Google on the Google Plus Yeah because apparently you can just join I don't even have a say in it I you just join up to I think they still have a maximum of 10? Yeah, but you made it public, You made it public. Oh okay, right. if you if you make it private, you have to invite individually who's allowed to join it. Got it? Trap for young players shows I haven't used uh Google+ much hang out much but yeah this is. this is cool. So not only are we live on Google hang out, we're live on my YouTube like front page my YouTube channel page and it's really and it's recording there and it's recording there so it opens up a whole new dimension. So but the quality I don't quality is not as good as you stream I don't think so on YouTube Yeah, it's not as good as you stream, but it's a damn site better than what I'm seeing on the hangout window. Yes, it is better.
Yeah it's better than Google Hangout but it's very block like the frame rate. Like if I just sit still then the quality is actually quite good. But the frame rate is terrible. So if you move the camera then it all starts starts to uh go all pixelated because um it's you know because it it has to fit the video in the bandwidth so it compresses it more and goes all pixelated.
and but when I sit still it's quite sharp so it's quite neat. and so what are you going to use this for? I I don't know I Finally just discovered it. Well I was going to do a 300th live show on Monday morning my time um and I was going to do it using Ustream but now I've discovered my it's like I could potentially get a lot more people viewing it I've got a massive YouTube audience who just watch my YouTube channel like they don't know my you know my blog exists, my Forum exists and my, you know, live other my Ustream account exists and all that sort of stuff so they would presumably get a message. um, as soon as I start live, if they're subscribed to my channel, And subscribe to my YouTube uh updates then they should I presume, get an instant message.
Um, that's why as soon as I upload a new video to YouTube within like a second of it finished with upload and being like broadcasting it out, people start watching it. like within 10 seconds there's like 50 people who are watching it and I can see the count just go up bang bang bang because these people are subscribed to my uh YouTube channel list so they a message. Well the YouTube may not broadcast that new video message until you stop broadcasting and it saves it and does the conversion right. That could be the case.
Um, so there's another test you'll have to do. Yep, but you could Twitter it you could tweet it I mean oh yeah yeah, I could. but not everyone listens to my tweets so wellam yeah uh I Thought this had told us how many people were viewing. Uh, six people have liked it.
Six six people who have liked the live video. So it looks like you can like it live. that's there I liked it. Oh excellent.
I haven't seen the update yet. Somebody just I joined the last one because I saw it on my YouTube homepage. Mark Lee said oh right. So they did get the announcement. Where was that comment? It's on the YouTube page. Ah, the the live comment. You got to pay attention. D Oh, hang on.
I I didn't have the automatic update thing on I didn't have auto updates on so it wasn't be. Someone says beautiful Tristan says beautiful quality on YouTube someone else says 480p quality. Yeah, well. if I move the camera, there's lag here.
But if I I'm just going to continually move the camera and I think you'll find that the quality drops now. I'm started. there's about 10 second lag there now. I Can see the live update on YouTube of me panning but think the quality is not that great if you put movement into it.
But uh I can't judge mine because the light is horrible I wasn't I wasn't expecting to do this. so you get what you get. um someone's yeah. other people said the V video quality is great in Arlington Texas you YouTube stream is good.
Video quality is good. Everyone says it's good, not good, but not great. I would say good Yeah I would say absolutely acceptable. Okay, but uh Zar who was in the uh Ustream one says it's the the update rate's not great, the frame rate's slow.
so yeah well you know it's a get it's a you get what you pay for it kind of. Yeah right system. You can buy really really good frame rate. my maybe if I um head on over to the local Google uh headquarters here in Sydney I can uh there you go open yeah I I can sit outside and hack into the Wi-Fi in the building I've I've been to their building a couple of times.
yeah, see somebody just messed. Same thing. video quality you stream great YouTube good Google Hangout Poo yeah I'd say it I wouldn't watch this hangout video. No that that would be aggravating.
but um, it'll be interesting when I actually play this back because I haven't you know I haven't played back one of these recordings yet. So I suspect uh oh I'm still playing it back I'm playing back the First Recording we have in a window there should shut that down. That's dumb. So has that showing up on my video list yet? Let's have a look.
Yes, it has. It's showing up. Yeah, that's oh okay. It's got like 20 pages of comments on the bottom of it or something.
Yeah. I See in my manager here: I See, it's got 99 comments. 15 thumbs up, 156 views and it went for 29 minutes and 12 seconds. There you go.
So that's what. Uh, because there's the numbers in my I'll probably have to hold it there for 10 seconds if you can see it. but there's the there's the numbers. yeah.
B you know I gotta wait for YouTube to catch up because there's no way I could read that on the hangout right to blocky Bang there. now I can read it on the YouTube side. right? So there there's your absolute test. Yeah, all right.
so the hangout video. You can't read it at all. Well that that's probably acceptable because hang out you would want. um, you would want you know as fast an update rate as possible so you can see people talking. You know you can see their lips live and you know. So so if so, if we're got a hangout with 10 people and you're because I'm I'm not talking to the live audience. If you're doing a hangout, you're talking to the other hangout e right? The circle? That's the circle, right? Buzzword: Wank. Word of the day.
Oh yeah, yep and there's an embed Button as well on the YouTube hangout streen. Wonder what that does? Maybe I shouldn't touch it? We've got 50 viewers. Oops, just dropped a 49. There we go.
Okay, Zer says you could use a Ioc chat channel on the side. yeah I don't think Dave likes IC I do have one which is tied into my Ustream account. So technically I think you can actually log in Via IRC to my Ustream and I can call up my Ustream account which is on my web page if you go to E Blog.com um slash live. there is actually a the live Ustream chat box there.
So technically I could uh without using C I could talk to people through that chat I wish a couple more people had join the The Hangout So the hangout? Yeah, no one's joined so we can see it with more videos in there. Hang on back in a sec. Okay so I'm looking at Google+ and Kelly Coleman says how do I join I there is. Just when I got on there it says Dave Jones started a hangout.
Join this Hangout and I clicked it now I I ass I assume if you're watching this, you have Dave in one of your Google your G+ circles. I'm back I Don't I don't know if Dave has me in a circle Yes I do I think you're Yes, you are. You're in one of my circles somewhere I think I Don't even know how to bloody see that I I don't use Google Uh plus I yeah I don't use it that much I Just went back because you mentioned the hangout but I just went back now and Kelly Coleman says how do I join now he's just saying I see a Dave Jones post that says live eev YouTube Hangout test number two and a blue join this hangout button to click Oh so that's all I did right both times. so well I'm pretty sure John you are in one of my circles when I first joined uh Google+ I you know created this some Circles of you know other bloggers and things and various categories and I'm pretty sure I added you to something.
yeah stupid. Yanks maybe that' be that' be most of my viewers. Yeah, that's all gonna come back and bite you one day. Dave but from me, not from me.
Ah good to see most people have a sense of humor. Um yeah. well I don't know what to do on Monday now because I want I was going to like, um put a blog post up saying you know advertising that I'm going to have a 3 100th live show and uh, okay Dave yep if you go to G+ yeah, oh where the heck is it? If you look at comments under where it says you started the hangout, do you? There's a comment from Kelly Coleman Who says she can't see button and somebody else says you got to be a circle So put Kelly in some circle you got and see if she sees the button? All right? H on yeah, it does. Oh bloody hell got to pop up H It'd be better if I knew how to use Google Plus Um I Oh yes, yes I I I see Kelly okay, spelled rather strangely. K W L E y um and how would I okay, yeah I see I can add Kelly to a I'll and add her to bloggers. Yep, she is now a member I Think a member of my bloggers Circle Okay Kelly she's listening. Refresh the page or do something and see if you can see a join button. That would be crazy.
If you have to have everybody you want to be able to join in a circle, you're G to end up with thousands of people in a circle. Yeah, you're have to make a special Circle for that a Spam Circle You know? Uh, so I assume she's added. how do I even list them in alphabetical? Oh man, this is just I so don't know how to use this? Uh yeah, no, she is. definitely it's popped up.
She's definitely in my blogger Circle So yeah, and she must have you and hers or she never would have seen the notice correct. So we're presuming she should see a join button now. Yep, you would think so. Um boy yeah, we're just fumbling around here.
we have no clue what we're yeah, this is yeah. Sorry for all my all my regular viewers who are watching this because we we had I had no intention of doing this I going Live on YouTube and and actually saving it and uh, saving it to my channel. So uh but we just discovered that we had the capability because I always wanted it and I thought you had to be a special invite or something like that to to be able to go live on your own YouTube channel Um well that's what I thought too. That's why I was surprised you're able to do this at all.
So but it does open up some great possibilities. I mean uh and if and if the quality is decent I can you know it automatically saves it to my YouTube Channel which is great I don't have to save it local and then edit it and then and then uh well that's a double-edged sword. Well there may be stuff you don't want on there and you can't go. edit it up I can't all I can do is hit the delete button and uh well.
I know actually maybe there is a way to download it I can download Yeah I can uh there is a way for me to yes Here here we go. Yes, I can download the MP4 of the video that's been uploaded to to my YouTube channel. so I'd have to download it, delete it, edit it, re-upload. Um, because yeah, that's GNA happen.
Really? Yeah. YouTube's really annoying it. it doesn't let you re-upload a video over the same video you know? So so if you're making so if I make a goof in a video I've got to delete it and then I lose all the hype I use I lose the URL to it I use lose all my stats comments everything. you know it's just it's hopeless.
Yeah, that would be pretty lousy, but I can understand why they do it I Think they do it so that you can't circumvent the uh, the automated copyright check. You know, because when you upload a video YouTube have all these super duper secret algorithms that check the video and the audio if it's got any copyrighted content. and right, these very smart algorithms and uh, presumably um, you can. uh oh, somebody said you can edit on YouTube yes you can, but I don't think you can chop out bits. um thought you could just do overlays and you can do overlays and you can touch up change the contrast and yeah, I I tried it once. that was horrible I tried it with one of my walk time rant videos and uh I set the image Shake I turned on the image Shake thing. oh yeah I'll I'll try it you know and uh and it it it was crap. it, didn't work and apparently you've only got like 24 hours to change your mind and revert back.
After that it, you can't revert back to the old edit. it just locks it in there. So now I've got this video on YouTube that has this horrible zoomed in automated. AE Shake Thing YouTube It's history.
it's archive. Yeah, you don't want to be a revisionist. Now that's right. You haven't done a a walking thing in quite a while, have you? no I haven't No.
I've been meaning to. Um, I've had a few things in mind of what I wanted to yap on about. but yeah, I don't know. I'm too lazy.
Um, now the Google Plus is pretty good. I mean as far as the lag goes on the Google+ window, that's one of its positives. Is that? Yeah, probably like a half half half second lag or something. but when you do something in the The Hangout screen, it's like three to four seconds before I See it over on the YouTube stream.
Yeah, it's I I Think mine's about, mine's closer to 10 seconds or something. and uh, well, that makes sense. It's got to come all the way over here, then go all the way back there to you Exactly. Got to: I I Don't know how there's enough bandwidth on this planet? I Really don't you know? Well, you listen to a lot of them talk that we're not even using a fraction of what's actually in the infrastructure, right? Amazing.
Because from this whole country, we've only got like a dozen fibers going out or something. You know we, we don't have that many going out to the rest of the world. It's uh, it certainly isn't thousands of fibers. it's You know, it's only like a dozen or so.
I think we've got two or three main trunk lines running out of this country. One to you know, seever, two to several parts of Asia one to somewhere else and and each one's got like, you know, half a dozen fibers in it or something. I Would have guessed the fair amount of the traffic with satellite to down there. Um, yeah, satellite satellite's not as quick though.
Satellite is very slow. Um, you satellite's much slower than the direct fiberlink. Well, I guess that makes sense. Mil miles are Miles Yep, they just add up.
well. I'm guessing that we did not facilitate Kelly getting connected. No, that's that was a fail. Uh I don't even know if she can hear us or not. Oh yeah, I can tell you that what doesn't work? having both Google and YouTube open so can can she hear us? Yes, she says. alas, Kelly is unable to connect. Okay, I know what you mean Kelly I have hangout over there and YouTube over here and it's pretty distracting. Yeah, so yeah, no one else is going to join I don't know whether or not.
hey, there's Jeff Kaisa. Maybe he'll join us. He's on live. No, no, he's he's busy.
He'd be working at. uh, he'd be busy working at Valve now. Well I don't know. it's 11 o'clock Friday night is that? uh West Coast Uh, Well, actually it'll be 10:00 over there.
I'm in Arizona so one time zone over. Ah, right. so it's 10:15 pm at Valve right now. I think I'm sure they're still working or playing.
Yeah, they're doing beer research at this point. I'm sure. Yeah. I Think it's um, everyone's prediction that they won't produce squat in the next couple of years.
They'll just be too, because that's what happens in these. because I've worked at you know, company which of course shall remain nameless that where had a similar sort of culture. You know you didn't have to, Uh, you know it had no no management, You know, no, no reporting, no adult supervision and uh, you could just do anything you wanted and nothing got out the door because there was no one there cracking the whip. To you know, say well, you know you've done 90% of the work.
Now we have to do the other 10% to get the thing out the door. and uh, there. no one around pushing you to do that. So yeah, well, the whole Valve thing I I just can't fit in my head how it will would all work, you know? Well everybody's even okay.
What if somebody's got to get fired, How does that work? If okay, somebody gets sexually harassed at work and they're going to sue somebody whose name goes on the longest of you. You know there's just a thousand weird little things that how does that work? you know I know I'm I'm I'm sure it's a fun, fun place though. but yeah, there are logistic. There are you know.
issues. There are, really, um, those company issues that not everything about management is a bad thing. There are lots of bad things with management, but they make sure your paycheck comes every other week. You know that's right.
they the lights are turned on and the toilet's clean. so hang on. Um, somebody just tweeted uh, add public to your hangout you crazy Aussie under invite more. So maybe that was the problem, but that doesn't explain Kelly Who's in a circle? So how hang on? Where do I go? Invite more? Okay, invite invite.
Here we go. Uh oh, maybe I can invite Kelly Hang on. Uh, well, seems we've been talking about her for half an hour. You yeah? All right.
Uh yes. I've invited Kelly All right. it just popped up. Another warning window that you have invited people to this hangout, right? Just in case you don't like him, you can exit stage left I Guess I can keep tabs on you from over here. That's good. Oh boy, what's going on here? All right? Uh Oh there's a public no. there's a little button or notice down the button that says public I guess that means we're broadcasting public maybe H uh well, not on the Google not on the hangout side public in the because I'm not. Well I actually shouldn't say that because I don't know.
Well I'm I'm looking at my hangout window here and down the bottom left corner is a little next to the people. uh tab is a little public. Yeah so I can't click on that. It doesn't do anything.
it's just a like a notice I guess to say that we're going live and I can screen share of course I can do my here we Oh I can screen share individual programs like I can screen share tweet deck I can screen share my desktop I can screen share minicam see look I'll screen share my minam program share selected window There we go. that's me live in my mini cam window which is what I'm using to split the well I was using it to split the video up before. So how do I unscreen share I just disconnect it. There we go.
Nice. Oh I could do the same thing. Yeah, you you would be able to do that. Yeah those those tabs up the top so you can actually play a YouTube video.
You can share a Google Document so we can. This is the whole online collaboration thing you know we can like actually work on designs together, share documents all in a live video window. we can share YouTube we can share YouTube videos. Yeah, there we go You, you've popped up all right.
I'm going to choose you as full screen. There we go. So that's your desktop. Wow How big's your desktop there? You can see that's the hangout on the left and the YouTube on the right.
right? Sweet. This is so powerful I mean there's got to be so much can do with this. Wow, This? yeah and somebody. uh the guy tweeted again where there's a I should go to my invite screen and then there's a thing that says public.
Well, there's not I'm afraid. Uh oh. Public? Okay right. Yes.
duh. All right. Sharing this hangout with the public will allow anyone on Google Plus to join. There we go.
All right, hang out Tada Oh I get I clicked the button. All right. Inviting. Okay, it is now publicly accessible.
This Google+ window use TW tweet deck Don't you? Yes, which is is cuz I keep hearing it beeping in my headphones and thinking I get a tweet but it's yours All right? No, it's me. Yeah oh boy. oh tweet dicks. It started out being good, but it's really annoying.
It hangs up all the time on me and all sorts of stuff. It's pain in the ass I' I've just noticed I'm miss tweets on it I mean I I I have a tweet app on my smartphone and it was just yesterday I Noticed that there were tweets listed in on my smartphone that weren't on tweet deck. Wow so it's like tweet deck just missed them. Completely miss the stuff. Nasty. Yeah! I gave up using tweet deck on my phone. it was giving me two I couldn't post it was it was hopeless. So I'm now using just the HTC app or something.
Um yeah yeah I don't use tweet deck I use some other thing thing I don't remember what it's called but it's a nice little app. mine actually uh, mine is the general. uh mine is the official Twitter app. I think for Android or something something like that.
it's like the official app. so fair. Well well nobody's going to join us. Oh here we go.
Yes! Kelly Yay we have. We have three. It's a world record it is. Hey how are you That was insane I Couldn't believe how hard that was to figure out.
did you already have the software loaded? No. I didn't and there was a little notice that came up that I completely missed because it was off my window I'm like what what's going on so it was it. If anybody else having a problem it's it was down below the window I was watching with the with Dave in the in the video. so yeah the same when I clicked it it's like oh well here you have to download this whole application before you can get a hangout.
Exactly. Oh oh love it. These things that make me feel like an idiot. trust me.
I'm a bigger one I I didn't ever even though I had this capability I've probably had it for 12 months and I've been tweeting all sorts of mentioning on the Forum that oh when am I going to get access to this live you YouTube stuff you know I've probably had it for ages I didn't even know I could do this till I saw a commercial on it the other day like oh wow this looks kind of cool. Well I knew the capacity was coming I just didn't think regular PE well maybe regular people aren't Dave is a special case so well I'm a YouTube Partner but apart from that I'm pretty small fry in the scheme of scheme of YouTube oh I don't know I I think you're in the the upper tiers yeah I think there there there's the people that have like like me that have like three followers and then there's the people that have couple of hundred and then there's everybody else that you know. Yeah! I think my my YouTube page I have 17 people subscribed to it I'm yeah I'm rocking it compared to Dave right exactly how many subscribers you have now Me: yeah oh I had 23,500 something my gosh oh small here we go. I I'll I'll I'll share my screen hang on as much as we do like looking at Kelly it's much better looking than us us guys I shall share here we go screen share and I will screen share my desktop share selected window.
oh I've got to click on me there I am and I'll going into hang on where are you YouTube channel and this is my YouTube channel. So if I go into uh yeah, where is it my channel how many have I got there we go I don't know if you can read that but I've got 23,26 subscribers. You are a rockstar compared to some others. I I watched they've got like a million subscribers. You found your Niche That's what's important. Very true. Yeah. I'm up to Dave Here's what: I'm curious.
Here's what: I'm curious about: how many YouTube channels do you subscribe to? Ah good question. um not. uh Pro: at least a few dozen few dozen maybe I could uh go in there subscriptions? you know? do you have shimo? That's Ao no Who the hell no idea. I there is.
Probably. Oh yeah. I've probably got you know 20 in there 30 maybe? so you got a fot? Yeah and uh could probably go and video manager. let's have a look at how many people have uh watched the latest video.
We're up to 27 views on that. 19 thumbs up. 104 comments on that previous video we but um YouTube uh, stats are notoriously bad. They like stop at 300 for for a day or two and then they jump up and they're uh, they they sort of race to 300 in know about 10 minutes of me uploading a video and then it hangs there and uh, well, there were all those other people on G+ saying they wanted to join.
I'm not seeing anybody pop in, there's nothing stopping them so may maybe they all just figured out. Oh I have to load this application to make this work right? Yeah, it wasn't just some magic web HTML thing. I'm very trusting so uh I'll download anything here we go I think I've got up the YouTube video editor now have I where's my yeah, my hangout window I'm in the oh, you're still viewing the SC holy crap that's that's cool infinity window so in in the video I can't uh oh oh I'm playing a video. so I'm playing a video in a screen capture in a live broad hang which is going back into YouTube That's insane.
It's multitasking at its finest. I was saying in the previous video that I had five video streams going at once I had three sorry, two, two outgoing video streams plus three incoming video streams on my Uh Channel which was on on my Um internet connection here which is crazy but so you were using. you were using eight of those uh 12 fiber cables going into a right Yeah, that's it. Boom.
Screen share is gone but uh, this is really cool. We can share Google documents and we can add an app. What What sort of apps can we add? What's hangout? lower third. Oh if you have a look at the Uh apps tab along along the top of the thing there actually I will what I will do Kaku that sounds uh, dirty or something I don't know right? Hang on.
let me cancel that and I will screen share my this is neat. Let's see if I can screen share my own. Google+ hangout window here we go. So I'm screen sharing my now we've got the multiple all right.
So I'll go into to add app and now I can't see it but everyone else oh yeah I can in a little window. These are the different apps we've got. Ace What's AC's hangout? Text them, hold them poker. Yeah, that's what we want Kco for Hangouts Scoot and Doodle slid share and hang out by Bravo What? eh lame. that's hopeless. So and we can do the Google effects with which we played with before. Wow, there's that ever diminishing window. It's going off to infinity or one pixel as that's neat.
All right. I'll kill screen share. There we go. Let's put Kelly back up.
She's much better to look at. Oh no no no no no, how do you pronounce your name? You said it right. It's Kelly It's Kelly but it's actually got the extra E in there. Yes, there's a there's a story behind that but I'm sure you're not interested right? Oh well, no, why not.
It's my it's a family name. it's my my maternal grandparents uh, family name surname and it's Irish and there you go. I think the ey uh is Protestant So that's what I've been told. anyway.
so you hijacked a last name for a first name just like I did for San There you go. Well my, my my parents hijacked it. but yes I well sorry, yes, you didn't have much say in it I didn't time the these earbud things really hurt they I don't like see I don't like those either I I just got. that's why I have real headphones.
Yeah well. I've got real headphones but they look oh they're Le they're soft and spongy aren't they? Yeah, those are much better. Bless you thank you. Ah dust in the lab gez I was like I told the wife I'd be home at like yeah sometime after lunch I'm just gonna few things yeah where in Houston no I'm in Denver Denver so so it looks like on the Google Docs thing it you can't put a dock into the video.
oh oh maybe you can Dave All right, okay maybe I can. Well I don't want everyone to see my Google Docs so I'm gonna kill that. So I've got private Google Docs I don't want everyone to I Clicked on it and picked up opened one of my public ones and I see it on the top half of the screen right? but I don't imagine you can see it? Uh well yeah I can see it. Yes it's popped up where I don't see it you got click Google Docs at the top of the oh yes yes I can see it.
but I guess our live audience can't see it right? No. I uh. Wireless mesh Network Time server Yep, that's it. Yeah yeah, I can see it and it is top quality too.
It's not like it's like use the plugin directly from Google Docs or something to give you like the best quality. it's It's not like converting it to video and then streaming it. it's it's an actual link to the Google Doc Yeah, you see the actual PDF you yeah, you see the actual file which is that's really quite neat. But I presume I can't I mean I can see it I'm scrolling it.
Is it moving for you? or do you have to scroll it yourself? No I I scroll it on my own right? Okay, yeah, so you can share a document through this you can't broad I don't see anywhere I can click to say put this out on the streen no I can't see that either I can click on your I bet that's what your screen share is for. Oh right, yeah, you'd have to screen share it. Okay if you wanted to actually broadcast it but that so we can share documents in the background secretly while uh yeah, everyone else is oblivious. Oh oh no, she's found the uh oh dear. She found the effects button. Found the effects button. Ah there are buttons that must be pushed. Sorry you have been warn it is very bad.
It's tragic. some of them are terrible. Well you know Dave if you were doing a show on this, you could have all your show notes in a Google doc and everybody on video could see them document back there. Yeah oh yeah, that could be handy I'm liking this so I'm still haven't decided what I'm going to do on Monday That was the whole idea of coming here today was to uh make sure my Ustream worked.
um and I was going to just do the Ustream thing again. but should I just do? Should I do a live should I risk it and do a live uh uh YouTube thing instead fre or 300 Yeah! but then again I do like how you stream I can capture the chat window in real time and then I can get the video and then I can edit I can overlay, edit them and then upload to you to YouTube later then everyone can see the the the live chat stuff so that's uh that's a big plus for you stream but YouTube doesn't have any of that I don't know too hard. Maybe I'll just do the Ustream thing. it's lower risk maybe.
or I could always try and do both at the same time. This could totally freak people out opening up one of your videos and hearing somebody other than you saying something, right? Yeah, there you are on my YouTube Channel full screen. You have very few other people on any of your videos I Very true. Well there you go.
you're now featured. You have the con as they say in the Milit. what about you have you had the guy that was helping you build your 3D printer? yeah I've had yeah the history. the history guy I can't um the one who built the kits and the magazines? yes yes I interviewed him down in Melbourne uh Colin Mitchell I've had brother-in-law Phil on a couple of times um I've had Roger who I'm doing the Canyon Copter with.
he's been on once or twice. um but yeah Doug Ford my mate Doug's been on a video but yeah, there's not. There's not too many people. so oh boy.
Well I think Cate to celebrate your uh, your video anniversary. everyone should go back and watch Eev blog Number One One: Oh no please don't. it's tragic. Jeez I my current videos let alone my first one I'm My Own Worst Critic: everyone is yeah, but you know you.
You go back and watch that number one number two. uh EV blogs. You really get some perspective about how far you've come. Yeah, very true.
and now I do this full time I Can't believe it. You know yeah like I don't actually work for a living. It's amazing. Well yeah I know how that feels Dave so oh boy yeah it feel it feels like I don't actually have a real job. you know it's it's bizarre, but you have lots of cool gadgets so it doesn't matter. Yeah, you want to see my latest cool Gadget I Still, it's still in the box. sorry I've already got the box. He's going to get a box.
We don't know why. we don't know why. that's just what Dave does. because it's Dave that's why.
T There it is. you got a mantis Vision Engineering that is a mantis Elite microscope sold microscope still in the box. It's not very exciting I'm sorry, but uh, it's you know. fragile.
it's glass. Be very careful because don't drop it. Put my headphones back in. Um, have you have you used those before? Yeah.
I've used them ex. I've used them at every company I've been at I've yeah, um every every lab I set up I First thing I'd buy is one of these mantis Scopes They're great and yeah we had them in Motorola they're incredible. Yeah they are. They're bloody expensive which is why why I haven't bought one for the lab but they uh, emailed me the other week and said, would you like one? Hell yeah, you know they didn't have to ask you twice.
No, no, that's okay. so I don't really want to open it now I was going to sort of like like it I was going to because I I have to do some sort of review of it I guess so. um, maybe open sure you appropriate music in the background as you're opening it. you know, like some real symphonic.
Kind of exciting, right? I So should I edit that in or should I try and do it all live and mix in the audio live and play it here Live While I'm recording edit it in it dramatic. it'll be exactly oh I Hate editing I Love uh I love just doing everything in camera. You know it's great Chris Just tweeted he reestablished that he hates editing too. Oh, he's um, he's awake.
is he? maybe he can join us? Well, that was a few hours ago. Ah, right. Okay, yeah. okay, let me see 11 12.
It's either quarter of one or quarter of two for Chris right now. Okay, yeah it would be yeah. I Don't see him live on the I don't see him on my Google uh uh Chat thing. So thing is that the the scientific name for it? Yeah thing thing thing.
m Is that A Is that what you guys say in the Us thing? yeah we say that yeah okay I don't say do doy oh you don't Are you a Yankee Is that a southern thing? Maybe that's a southern thing I think it is man I I Do so want to open this because this is so cool and uh well. I I think you owe him a very high quality video, unboxing and review. Yeah I think I probably do CU Yeah I know what those damn things cost? So yeah, expensive they're They're even more expensive in Australia So yes I I don't know like I'm I don't know if it's even going to fit like I've got to drill a hole in my bench over there and um to mount the pole? Yeah yeah, to mount the you know. I've got a oh the good thing is now I've now got a 5 meter cable attached to my webcam so I can go all the way down the other end of my bench. so yeah, like a so I I don't know I can't see the screen but I've got to like drill a hole in the bench there somewhere and kind of I don't know, do something with it. Yeah to do this all the way down my bench here and I'm still still going. still going and oh you got one of those uh you got a 3D printer did I see printer? okay Dave he do he do have his headset on? Yeah it's really annoying not being able to hear when you're walking around, but yeah it's great. Five Five Met cable I can take the camera anywhere.
The really annoying thing though with these webcams is it's on a little well. I can't really get a shot of itself I need a mirror? um but it's on what of these little tall stand things and the and the cable is so you know heavy compared to the stand that if you know it just pulls the thing over just Falls over. if you don't anchor the uh, anchor the cable down somewhere. it's really annoying.
so well all they're moving around has totally pixelized pixelized your your hangout screen. y it's a mess. It's a awful quality isn't it? It's just terrible. So I I think it's okay.
it's not fabulous but I can I can make out that you have eyes? Well, it's good enough for the purposes of just chatting to someone. It seems to be better quality on the YouTube recording which is good so sacrificing resolution to make it as real time as they can, right? Yeah, dude. Dave message You have to invite us on the plus for it to work well. Yeah.
I set it public. They tell them they have to download the software to look below where the uh uh uh the window and Google+ where um the video is below that there's another box and that's where it says Uh there's a button there to download the software. There you go, you've been told and they may actually have to reload the the Google+ page right to to get that video status up. I Was in and out several times so it did finally show up.
Yeah right. I don't know. but uh, but yeah because I I added I had to add you Kelly So I don't know whether or not that's the essential requirement I hope not if if you're trying to try to, it's public. Yeah I mean it said so I'm sure it said that.
you know you can you, you can now anyone can now join your you know I do feel like one of the cool kids but uh, you know I would hate for you to have to have to do that Ro Roy Alam Just messaged that you have to invite them even if they have the software. making it public doesn't work. Oh no, but it said it did. well.
You invited Kelly right? You invited Kelly Yeah well maybe I can invite Roy I think he's part of my uh Roy aen. Yes, he's in my uh list as well. So I'm going to invite him there. We go.
He's I think he's invited. Hang on. How does ah hang out there? We go. Oh okay, yeah, you're right there. It's actually red. It says unable to invite public. Yep, it it says unable to invite public or extended Circle right? So it's put It there. it's allowed me to do it.
but then it's telling me it can't which is stupid. but at least it does show up red like d Now I know what red means Okay, so that means well. how the hell did it let me in? Because you're you're in one of my circles. Oh okay you, you were already in one of my circles.
Yes, Wow. so that's going to be a pain for you I mean well, maybe yes, maybe no, you can't just have this wide open. Well no because then you get people instantly joining and then they Moon the camera and they you know and it's all going live and you know go for it. John uh no oh boy.
I'm not even going there. Oh oh boy, this is yeah. But anyway I invited Roy I'm not sure if he's going to show up, but uh, he was invited. so I it's not too bad.
I mean you know you can't just have any old Tom Dick and Harry jumping in here I think I Think it's better if you can can restrict it to people you know you need to vet them. You need to First Yep, that's right, Somebody says Dave what time zone will The Real Thing be on? be in it be will the real be in I was going to do like a 900 a. Sydney Time on Monday which I believe is like 400 p.m. is like afternoon-ish Sunday New York time or something like that I haven't I'll have to go to the time and Dat.com website and yeah I'll missed that I'm sorry.
oh that's a right. You've already been on a like you know on here for half an hour and it oh by the way, if you don't it does automatically get recorded and uploaded to my YouTube channel. Oh no yeah so you and I are famous. we're the first guests there you are.
This video is probably an hour over an hour long. I don't think people are G to watch I have no idea. Well it's almost 5 o' in the afternoon here syney time. this is crazy.
there goes the whole day. I Promised the wife that I wouldn't be long. you know Dave they never believe it. Yeah I know I I I Expect the phone to ring any minute.
you know when are you coming home? Oh boy. I So want to play with my mantis scope? Can't believe it's sitting here in a box that's depressing. You're like my two boys before. Christmas yeah I know Dad I know what's in it I can now.
but then I I know I want to record it I I do want to record the opening of it and oh boy I've already I'm now starting to, uh, backlog my videos I'm now starting to sort of actually record them and actually record a couple of them and then have them in a backlog of videos to edit. Um, that's the first time I've done that for. well, it's first time I've pretty much done it ever I think um, whereas before I would film something and then I'd go home. edit and upload straight away I couldn't I just couldn't help myself.
but I'm kind of liking this idea of um, you know, just you know, spending a whole day just shooting a couple of videos and then uh, and then having them on on tap. So I can um, have days off later to do something else so that I can you know that makes a lot more sense? Yeah, yeah it does. I just I just haven't had the patience. You know it's there like I've got to I've got to upload it now now you know I can't help myself. but here's where you're going to see on on: G+ where this is what the hangout is posted. There's over 50 comments already W Okay, half of them are Kelly Yeah, okay, sorry. well you go down there. There's three, four, five, Invite me.
Invite me. Invite me. And actually, if you just Mouse over that name, you can add them to a circle real quick if you wanted to. if you wanted to.
Yeah, that's that's how I added Kelly I Just hovered over her name in the in the chat window and it popped up with a thing saying add to Circle and yep, Bang! So that's quite neat. We've got 63 viewers I Don't know if your hangout screen is telling you up the top top right there that we got 62. Oh, someone dropped off Uh. viewers.
Okay, maybe it only tells me. Tell me at all. Okay, 61 viewers you're the hangout owner. I'm the hangout master I am the dictator.
It works. All this democracy rubbish doesn't work. You've got to have a dictatorship. See anything that work? Absolutely, that's right, will fail that.
and social. That's right. Valve valve will fail. You think John will fail, you know? I C I Can imagine software doing just fine with that organization.
but yeah, having been in an Hardware engineering organization, yeah, you know if if you don't have somebody up there driving the bus, it crashes y you know? yeah? I Wish him the best and a lot of the people going over there I really respect and I hope it works. and maybe I'm just too old and been too corporate for too long, but I just can't y I can't see how a hardware Engineering Group can work that way. Yeah, me too. I Can't see how anything will get out the door, but we could be wrong.
We'll find out. you know with you know if it has any chance at all having Jerry and the other guys that have moved over there. Yeah, that the best chance it's got. It's exactly so y That's Just but I've I've been there though I've had that exact experience Where at the company which shall remain nameless.
Um where there was no adult supervision, no management and we worked on a ton of stuff which never made it out the door. You know, because there was no one there to push us to finish it off. You know. Oh, we get 80% there.
we build a prototype and it's almost there. It's ready to produce, it's almost ready for production. and no we will just get you know either say hey, let's work on this new cool thing or or just uh, you know it's just nothing. Ever got out the door.
and I'm talking dozens and dozens of boards so you know and ideas and products and yeah, what you say made it Hardware Engineers are notorious for that is you're all gungho for the first four fifths of a project. last 20% is hell and left to their own devices. It never gets done. That's right, that's not just just Hardware I I'm a project manager at in the government no less. Everything's like that right? Anyway, I Hope it works. Hey, speaking of production, it looks like your Micr crews are flying off the bloody shelves that ate a fruit. Oh there was only 25 of them so it's not. Yeah, but you.
you announced it and I went back the next day and they didn't have any. All right. Okay, well I sent them another 20. they they asked for another 25.
they they didn't go. oh so was popular. We'll order 50 or 100 they ordered another 25. So I've set those.
they they should be like set those on. Monday So they should be there like you know today. not blue are they? No, they're not blue? no I just thought I'd muck around I had one of those blue boxes I tweeted a photo of it. yeah, it's pretty sick looking.
Yeah I didn't vote but I don't like the blue. All right. Oh boy. Well yeah, I've still got it here.
but yeah, they're fine. I guess they're flying off the shelves. We'll see what the next 25 do, but it's got to hit. It's got to hit that, you know.
saturation. Point Eventually where every one of my viewers has bought one you know, or everyone who wants to or everyone who wants to buy one has bought one, you know. I I haven't sold 15,000 yet. but gez I think everyone who's bought one has has definitely had a fair.
a fair fair. Go at it at buying one. So I don't know? Well, you know I need to pick one up when they have them back and for a reason you've never mentioned talking about what's that is. Um, well when I'm doing accurate stuff at my bench I've got a you know, a big eight digigit? um Voltmeter.
Really accurate monster voltmeter up that it doesn't do current. Oh, it only does voltage well with a microcurrent. It now will be a current meter too. up to what 200 milliamps or something? Which it goes up to about 200 milliamps.
yeah, which is pretty much limited by the uh switch. really the little tiny switches I use on it. That's pretty much the upper current limit. Yeah, really? Yeah.
yeah. if you yeah, if you download the data sheet for the switch used in it, it's that's what it says. You know, switch rating is like 200 Mill or it might be like 300. but I lowered the spec or something just to you know.
So so you could go higher. Um, but well if you lowered it, they probably lowered it so it's actually a half an amp. Yeah, it could probably do half an app. Yeah, exactly.
So oh man, we' have lost Kelly Oh oh no, she is back taking care of Family Matter here taking care of business. Go to bed. Go go to bed. That's exactly what I'm about to do. Yeah Me: I better head home too. I think we better call it quits. it's 5 o' here if I don't head home I'm in trouble. yeah you are in trouble.
Yeah there. another day gone cuz I've got a you know usually I'm not allowed weekends usually weekends are um you know is is family time. That was part of the deal of you know work Doing this gig full time was that and get in the office and all that was that. You know I wasn't supposed to work after hours or weekends anymore.
it was. You know I would get my life back that that was in exchange for not having to do a real job. What's the hand up? So Dave one of the reasons I started watching you is because I'm new into Electronics Yeah oh uh John there's a off on and off button in the upper right so if you need to for video and audio you need to use that. Okay so Dave what? um oh that's cool.
yeah oh there is T yeah um So Lisa had to run past and absolutely did not want to be in the video. Um so I have a like a stupid newbie question um shoot Well I'm not ready to do it right now U but but I thought I might do it as like a because it has to do with my multimeter because I'm so new I don't even know what it what I'm supposed to do so I thought I'd film it and send it to you. Is that okay? would you have time to take a look at that sometime? Sure, take a look at it. Okay, send it on over.
Okay, I'll do that or even better if you upload it to the Forum to what the uh Forum oh that's scary y you don't know about my EV Forum no I don't I I found on YouTube like two weeks ago Dave Oh right, well throw her in the Forum well there's not many girls in the Forum she'll be very popular I'm so innocent and and delicate. Well actually I have shot um a couple of days ago haven't was one of my backlog videos I shot because there's so many people like you who um who don't know anything. they just watch me on YouTube they don't know anything about my blog, they don't know anything. my blog channel.
they don't know anything about my uh, my merchandise, my shop, my Forum my you know anything like they don't know about Twitter nothing and um so I shot a video um like a screen capture thing just going through all of you know all of my stuff. you know all of my online stuff and where to find. so I I could have all Dave all the time is what you're saying. Yes, you can I tweet regularly you know, 10 times a day.
Awesome! and now with this live Ustream thing, it's going to be like a maybe it'll just be live E blog 247 oh boy I just need to know what to do with these stupid LED things to figure out if they're good or not I don't know. Oh okay. well I can tell you that now. just use the Doo test T function.
but if your multimeter doesn't have a high enough output voltage on the diode test function, you won't be able to turn on the Uh leads. So yep, you have to tell us what sort of multimeter you got too. Well see it in the video of course. But yes, I'll take care of it. But yeah, if so, use, use the Diode test mode. So if put around to Di test mode, put the lead both ways and the leads should light up. If they don't, that means your multimeter is not capable of um of uh, it hasn't got the output voltage required to turn on an LED Are they white? LEDs because they got a higher voltage drop than tried all I I have red ones Yellow Ones white ones It's very rare that a multimeter won't light up a red lead. It's very rare.
Yeah, okay, true. I'll show you what I'm doing I'll show you what I'm doing and um hopefully you can help me. Yep, no worries. but the white are it's It's quite common for a multimer not to White up light up a white lead cuz they only turn on at like you know 2 point they they well they have a voltage drop I Don't want to use the wrong terminology and confuse you because you know they they don't Leads are current driven.
they're not voltage driven so they you lost me at voltage so that's how new I am Great Oh boy. All right so please please send it to me and I'll have a look at it all right? You know what you need to do Dave what's that that? the wall behind you where that Simpson meter is. Yep, you need to get a big banner with yourh Twitter yeah you do back in the in the back but I but I don't think that shows up in my normal videos. I I don't think that wall shows up above the I can't remember I'd have to play one of my you need a green screen behind you where you can no more editing.
That's what I need. You don't need a life right? No I don't need a life No no yeah that was one of the uh. One of the conditions was that I got my life back when I went full-time the what are you doing in the office on Saturday it's well. well I told her that I had a few things to do and I'll only be a couple of hours.
you know sh Anyway, oh boy no I'm just playing one of my videos and no you can't see the wall but you can see in between the uh you can see sort of in between the you know you can see these ones in between there so you can see like down in there. so maybe I could have something down in there. but I get comments all the time like you know. Oh I didn't know about your Forum but if you actually watch the end of my video, it's at the end of every video there it is EV Blog.com EV Blog.com Forum it's all there.
You mean like credits at theend it's in, it's in the credits at the end. Yeah well then you need you need to do what they started doing in Hollywood where you put like extra stuff at the end after the credit so people will sit through it right? No? Well I do I do occasionally I do occasionally as a test I I put like an outtake or something. very occasionally I'll put like an outtake or something at the after the credits and most people shut off and they don't watch it. So too bad. So now everyone has to go back through all of my 300 something videos and scroll to the end. I'm was going to go shopping tomorrow now I Have to watch all your videos. Oh boy. start with number one.
It's a ho. It's a good one. It's a classic. Oh boy that was so embarrassing that number one it was like like I sat there and going I like I've never been on camera before like am I supposed to talk like this Am I supposed to try and act Am I you know it was.
It was really quite monotonic is the word. I guess I thinking well you know really to see the difference is you watch number One. then you watch one of your drive times. Oh right, yeah, where it's kind of unstructured.
you're just going off on whatever the hell it was you're talking about. It's yep and know anyway it's 5 o' We better call it quits. she is. Oh yeah, good meeting you Kelly and good talking to you Dave Thanks guys! Can't wait till next time.
All right take see you Bye bye bye.
And kelly! ๐
Jhon!, well done ๐
"you have to pay attention, dave!" XD
