Episode Date: May 2, 2025

I learned That I need an Industrial Grade Compact Flash that the Legacy Computer sees as a Fixed Disk when doing IDE to Compact Flash as a Hard Drive.

Good morning everyone. It is now 6 20 a.m. And it's May 2nd 2025 So today is gonna be oh although I think it's stormy. I think I heard last night Or really this rib very early this morning some thunderstorms Luckily here in Rhode Island. we hardly ever get any really crazy weather but actually this morning it sounded like the whole work the whole ground was shaking so I'm not sure what that was about we have had tornadoes in Rhode Island last year I think we had eight of them so although not extremely

that's not that's not normal but so we did hear some some thunder and boom in a little bit didn't last long But it woke me up on I was like, what the heck is that? I get nervous for a minute there But then it then it went away. So that's cool We're also near the coast. So that makes the storms a little bit harder to stay active but a mid State like in the middle of Rhode Island upper an upper, North Rhode Island That's where most of the tornadoes and things can happen more than so down here in westerly We're on the coast a little bit, but never know you never know what can happen So yesterday we did oh

I spent the day outside again. I'm working on a project, so I didn't think I did any videos yesterday, no I didn't. So some days there's going to be gaps where there's no videos for the afternoon, just because I'm trying to, I've got to get stuff done outside now. I'm running out of time, so. But I'm working on a room right now, and I've already put a lot of time into getting it cleaned up, and then we're going to lot of time into getting it cleaned up and then we're gonna it's gonna be set up I got some freezers that we keep stuff in so

we're gonna make that into a freezer an area for my mother trying to make it she's getting old I'm trying to make everything around her easier to access as possible she's still very mobile and independent, which is great. But it could change it any time, so I'm trying to get ready for that. Always preparing for the next step here, because it would be a major one for me if I ended up completely on my own. As I talked about it before, I don't think I'd be able to afford where I live but the way Here the way I am now, although I'm not really spending any money in that anymore. I buy little things here and there

But YouTube I was what would pay off to offset but it hasn't happened yet But looking the way rent and everything is out there and the rest of the world that I couldn't afford it that way either But so I don't know it's a big major thing, but we just keep doing what we're doing for now Figure out what I'm gonna do at that point. All right, so let's go on the news here. I Didn't watch any of the last of us too. I always see that it's the last of us This now I can watch both series at all once So it's actually better to wait till the second or third season comes out of something And then you can watch it all but I can tell you what I was a huge fan of the

The other one there I can think of it Let's see, I'm checking through the news here. Raspberry Pi explained, world's most popular mini-computer. I'm a big, big fan of Raspberry Pi. I use it every night for my project Journeyman. My buddy helps me code. Well, he does the coding, really. I just get the ideas and we work together and then he comes out with something. But I have a couple of new things coming out. I ordered it. It'll be here. It's coming from China of course and

20 extra bucks for its feedback but I'm significantly hopefully going to upgrade my experience for the Nightly Project Journeyman overnight. for the nightly project journeyman overnight so we'll see when that comes in, of course I'll talk about it and we'll explain what I'm doing the direction we're going Etsy maybe I have an order that would be exciting it's been quiet let's see I have an offer order

Sega Genesis model 1631 bottom case with screws and spacer Okay, I can renew that list and I have more of those Okay, pretty cool I can do that All right, so that's one order so we get for every Alright, so that's one order. So we get for every two or three hundred orders on eBay, I get one on Etsy. So I call it my side quest because it's very small. I did add more stuff and I need to add some more. But we'll just kinda leave it at that for now.

Alright, so let's go on to my RSS feed. Although I do these every morning. Routine is very key for me, as I always say. And I like to do them in the morning, because it kind of helps me wake up. I have no problem. As soon as I wake up, I'm up. I don't have any really druggie or anything like that.

I'm ready to go. For me, as soon as I get out of my loft bed there my shop is open soon as I turn my computer on and I'm doing both YouTube stuff and podcasting quickly in the morning and get my eBay stats for the night oh we had one download so we had somebody yay, I'm gonna download a few days was excited when I get one The Czech Republic Prague pretty awesome Manila awesome Ashburn, so we had a couple so I'd like to see the red dots I have a map that I can see the Czech Republic. I can see where the chair check

It doesn't show me any of the any of the the actual Countries or states or anything just has the map as a blank white map and then red dots from where people download so it's pretty awesome it's my message in a bottle over the internet ocean as I call it so exciting I wish I had a lot of them but I will go back to at some point start doing some mid-afternoon podcasts with some gaming systems break them down I was doing pretty my Downloads were a lot more when I was doing those. It's just really hard to keep doing a lots of stuff all the time click

So YouTube I've been pretty quiet for my overnight nightly project journey man, but a few views who keep it up I Have any handy I only had a few so for my subscribers I have 34,000 660 In the last 28 days of added 4,000 342 subscribers pretty cool Do you go outside to them? Let's see My revenue is $26.39 we had one this is the egress Joan I have no idea. I believe this is a someone's asking about these egresses on the house down the street.

I have no idea. up for emergency exits only it's just the weirdest thing that's why I make sure I've been chronicling since the house burned down a couple years ago down it was a really old and yucky looking house now it's really nice and fancy Mmm, I believe that firm set up for emergency exits only so this is to like these exits that have domes on them They're pretty weird looking All right, let's see. So we had that one Let's see we had one Let's see, we had one. So if you notice, subscribers, I can never really tell how many subscribers I have, but if I see I'll add anybody that I can see for a subscriber, I will subscribe to them, because

it seems the logical thing to do, but I can't see a lot of them because they're hidden. People hide their subscription for whatever reason so that's pretty cool I saw I just add new if I see new ones I can click on subscribe alright so let's see what we got going here alright so let's go to eBay that's usually where my day really gets going then I can see what we got going on you never know what I'm gonna wake up to everything happens overnight so most of my sales I did start I did start some new discounts and stuff so let's see oh let's look at just one order. Disco feedback.

Super fast shipping. A plus. Thanks. Exactly as described. Arrived quickly and packed well. So let's try to do my best but it's hard to be perfect all the time. I just had an issue where I had to send another heat sink to an order that I got damaged during shipping which is not usual are you correct this is oh yeah yeah no yes he was looking for for Sega Saturn, no no Sega CD rather but the double stacked one. I didn't realize

that's what he's talking about when he was asking for motherboards for Sega CD I'm like yeah I have some of those but it's the other one he wants the one that's really really hard to find on the tender Wii U game pad I really don't want to do that I'll have to take it though. I just gotta take some orders now. So, alright, so I ordered a bunch of little thingies coming here and there. I only had a couple orders overnight. Actually just one order really.

Message from eBay. orders overnight actually just one order really message for me bear oh I missed something there we go power video RF switches tried to apply the listing I don't know. This guy is asking about a code, sorry. All I can do is set up the coupon. to anything else with it with it once live There is also about a coupon also 10% 10% Off as a sale Yeah, I don't know he wants to ask me how he can fix a coupon. I don't know. He wants to ask me how he can fix a coupon. I don't know. It says set me out but you set me out but it doesn't seem to be valid. It's definitely valid. I have to see what my coupon is. Unless the coupon is not valid for some reason I'm not

see what my coupon is. Unless the coupon is not valid for some reason, I'm not sure why. I think I'm still on the negative here. Oh no, I made it to a dollar. I thought I did cover that anyway. I had two orders. I'll send some, and then I send another 5% so it's 25% total. Let me get those boards up. Let's see what else we got going on here.

So in somebody or I have one return for two of the spindles for a Nintendo GameCube I would have shipped and working so he said not one of the both them doesn't work. So either Whatever laser board he was testing them on that doesn't work or I may get back different ones that don't work I don't know I never know what I'm gonna get back because although you think no nobody does that but sometimes I'll get back things that have nothing to do with what I shipped it my favorite one that was our favorite but my one Is the one when I go back a giant screw? That looks really fun. I wish I had the time.

This guy was showing me his Xbox 360 all lit up with LED lights and all that. I wish I had the time or knowledge Which To do things Like that that'd be fun if I could sit down modify stuff, but just not in my cards I Just sell parts. Just it's just easier what people can make And have so many 360s it's got all LED lights on it it's pretty cool they probably sell for a lot of that poltergeist pretty fun so that's the guy actually I had to send him a new heat

sink it's cuz one got damaged and I think I've been partied over on those only guy have any more heat sinks left oh no I have one one more set of heat sinks so we got two orders let's see what else we got going on here this morning so let's check the feedback again like look through my feedback oh another thing I didn't check is I didn't have any orders. If I go back to Etsy here They change things up a little bit. Are you Things were always changing. You got to figure out where things are dashboard

So it's my dashboard one order shipped And I changed that oh recently active there is a recent so you see who purchased any feedback on Etsy I haven't seen any I hope the last one I had was five stars which is awesome power button cable so that's pretty cool and then a five star from my original Xbox o one through all five no liner as a guy that's been buying from me from while that's pretty neat

uh... so let's see and then you to be here let's see my stats i cut out so stats views seven point six k in the last forty eight hours forty four views shorts one point fivek in the last... My average duration is always 40 seconds so that's always been my bugaboo of not getting any revenue at all because nobody really hangs around. But I pretty much have done everything I could possibly think of to add new stuff other than well I do overnight now and I do lots of things but I cut my feet off early last night or cut off on its own I'm not sure.

But we got some new ideas we'll add to it and I just keep plugging my head in. Something new and fun to do I Think I have a actually I've got about 30 40 of these now 30 something But it's gonna get really really hot at night. So it's gonna be really hard to have a mask on and do it all but I May cut it down just once a week or something Not that it really gets really that popular or anything. It started out pretty good,

and then it kinda fizzled out on me. But it's just a simple, it's just that at that 12 hours at night that I had, that I wanted to decide that I wanted to do something. And it's a way to kinda like chronicle my life, but my sleeping life. I call it sleeping art. And you never know what you might find.

I'm still looking for something supernatural. I need to go back to my last three overnights and put some, I call them session feed imprints. The marks, I haven't marked those the last three nights. So we're gonna do that today. And we'll keep doing it, of of course as I do all my stuff once I get in a routine I like to keep it going it's fun never know where it could go today I'll try to get some videos I was planning on some my desktop computers and I ran into oh I ran into a problem yesterday I

didn't know doing I got a couple of the kits IDEs to compact flash kits but I didn't realize that you had to have a certain kind of compact flash that only the computer recognizes as a fixed fixed disc and not a removable disc so I had set up XP on one of my computers the EVO 510 and I went to load it yesterday and it just got stuck at Windows I didn't know why because asked my buddy Zippy and the compact flash I have is Just a commercial one. It's not yet. It's an on industrial

So the computer sees it as a removable disk disc therefore doesn't boot to it for XP so I ran into that problem I didn't know so now I have to get other compact flashes down the road so it's kind of a bummer so I didn't I learned something new yesterday that I didn't know so compact flash has to be industrial and it's got to mark as the computer has to see it as a fixed disk so Something I'm gonna work on Let's see alright, so that should be it for this morning I want a couple of orders to do I gotta go out and back

But we'll we'll look at my I pulled out all my desktops and we'll talk about The compact flash issue that I ran into seems like something fun to share. I never knew about it, but That's what we're gonna do. So you guys have a good day and Stop by it. I'll do some videos today and We'll talk to you tomorrow. All right. Bye
