Tech Over Tea - Discord Is Trash - Tech Over Tea #9 - feat Cozza_23-
Episode Date: April 30, 2020On this weeks episode of Tech Over Tea I've finally realised that discord is trash because it decided to update about 4 times during the recording of this episode which makes for a fun recording exper...ience besides that we chat about how we met, some more ranting about uni nonsense and what it's been like for Corey to work remotely this and more coming up. ==========Guest Links========== Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coreylinford/ ==========Purchase My Gear========== ► Buy Anything: https://amzn.to/3eT3gsR ► Blue Yeti USB Microphone: https://amzn.to/34oj8P8 ► Logitech C920 Pro Webcam: https://amzn.to/2JUYiNL ► Neewer 176 LED Video Light: https://amzn.to/2xbK0Wu ==========Support The Channel========== ► Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/brodierobertson ► Paypal: https://www.paypal.me/BrodieRobertsonVideo ► BTC Wallet Address: 1Aokiv3pFQXUEmh2LbzZQAwxMvq6bpT2UN ► ETH Wallet Address: 0x80451867c86bdf08c3888d407c1e3fcb6add61ed ► LBC Wallet Address: bLRN9fm17sCexKfgbYqmMj5xskZF2ogpEh ==========Video Release========== 📚 LBRY: https://open.lbry.com/@TechOverTea:3 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBq5p-xOla8xhnrbhu8AIAg DISCLOSURE: Wherever possible I use referral links, which means if you click one of the links in this video or description and make a purchase we may receive a small commission or other compensation.

Welcome to episode, I think it's nine of Tech of Tea.
I am, as always, your host, Brodie Robertson, and it seems like OBS is dying right now,
so hopefully it's not actually a problem.
Welcome to the show, Corey.
Thank you.
I'm glad to be here.
I'm glad that I finally got someone else on the podcast.
After, what, two, three weeks?
No, last week was Connor.
Yeah, last week was Connor, but...
The last two before that was just you by yourself.
Yeah, well, I do enjoy the solo episodes,
but the problem is you haven't seen the one that's going to go up.
It was supposed to go up about half an hour ago,
but library's
thumbnail server is dying right now so it hasn't gone up yet okay but that that episode was a
complete mess it it was yeah i don't know what was going on in that episode for some reason it just
didn't work and i was just stumbling over everything I was trying to say And just constantly changing topics
But hopefully it's better this week
Especially because we actually have a time limit for once
Yeah, you'll be right
What is it you have to go do after this?
Is it an honours project meeting?
Just go to a mate's place actually
I thought you had something important to do
No, not really.
Oh, fuck it up.
Yeah, at 1.30, I've got a meeting with the CSIRO,
so I've got to go to that one.
Oh, sweet.
Nice.
So we're all going to be dealing with the fun of Zoom.
Actually, no, we're not using Zoom.
No, because they've got their own um their own video conferencing
thing which is yeah my place uses webex i don't know if you know them i think that's what we're
using as well yeah it's pretty much the same thing i haven't got a chance to use it because
i didn't realize you needed like an app to use it or the uh webex web extension plug-in yeah yeah
because it only works in chrome as well, by the way.
So don't use like Firefox, otherwise this won't work.
Oh yeah, I'm using Brave right now.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
But yeah, no one told me that.
They just sent me the link.
I was like, oh, join this.
Like, okay, well, maybe you should have, I don't know,
told me the fact that I would need something to actually join.
Yeah.
Pretty stupid, to be honest.
So I ended up missing that meeting, but...
I should...
I checked it out before they sent me the link early,
and it says I can actually join it, which is good,
because Reece had the exact same problem.
Okay.
But it should be better this week.
I don't know. Yeah This week, I don't know
Yeah, hopefully
I don't know
Once it gets working once, then it should be alright
I tried to fix up your audio on OBS
And this is nothing I can do about it
I'm probably going to chuck this through a compressor again
And mess up the audio
At least I know how to fix it this time
Yeah
Last week I was kind of just like
Weaning it, trying to understand
How to get it actually
working with um with connor's stuff but basically what i did is i chucked it into audacity and then
i could um that you can put it through a compressor and basically it'll raise up the noise floor so if
connor was basically being treated as part of the noise floor and it basically just raised him up
the problem is it made me clip as well a bit,
so it wasn't the best audio.
Hopefully, it's not as bad for this week, but...
Yeah.
If you just try to keep the mic near you, it should be fine.
It would be good.
If you...
I'll try and make it look natural.
Yeah, you could just like stick it to your face or something.
I thought you were going to try something there.
So how have you been, man?
I haven't spoken to you in a while.
Yeah, it's been good.
Isolation's fun, as always.
Oh, yeah?
Can you just bring your webcam down just a little bit
Even though they can't really see it through the pixels
Hey This is like 240p
What is your your down or your upload speed there?
I'm gonna say it's it's probably not very high,
if this is what I'm experiencing.
I'm on my phone hotspot,
because this room where I'm in is on the opposite end of my router,
so it doesn't really talk nicely.
Ah, yeah, yeah, makes sense.
So I think it might be worse on my wireless,
but it's doing the job, I guess.
I don't know.
The audio is fine.
It's just the video is garbage.
So go check out the audio podcast on Spotify, on Apple Podcasts, all that stuff.
Connor's actually...
Can I just plug?
Yeah, well, it's my podcast.
I can plug whatever I want.
Connor was actually really happy when he saw that his art was on Spotify.
I was like, mate,
it takes like five minutes to get it on Spotify.
It's not actually difficult.
That's so cool.
I want to have a look.
He's just going to check right now
in the middle of the podcast.
That's fine.
This is...
I don't make any money from this anyway.
They don't deserve quality content.
I guess I'll entertain people. They don't deserve quality content. Oh.
I guess I'll entertain people.
I wasn't actually planning to do this.
No, it's all good.
Yeah, I think it's on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts.
Pretty much everywhere you can find podcasts.
So, yeah, pretty much. That's actually cool.
I actually don't use Spotify or whatever. i've haven't had to do it before but um it's cool that you've got something on there which is
actually really sick yeah i did all that through there's a service that spotify has called um
anchor which is basically they'll set up an rss feed for you and they'll actually do the
application process for you joining Spotify
for joining Apple Podcasts and Google actually Google Podcasts you don't need to join you just
give them an RSS feed and they'll just put it up there yeah okay but Apple Podcasts you need
you actually need to have a um what what's the word um It's not verified.
You need to have an iTunes account that's actually made a purchase.
Oh.
And to do that, you also need to have an Apple device.
Okay.
So, yeah, you can't put any podcasts on Apple Podcasts without doing that,
and I don't know why.
I mean, I guess it's fair enough, kind of, but not really.
No, not really, because it's just a podcast.
It's not like I'm trying to put a... The thing is, I'm pretty sure through the official Apple podcasting app, you can just give them an RSS feed,
but you can't give them an rss feed from the creator's
side yeah that's stupid typical apple to be honest i think i completely cut you off before
what were you talking about something about isolation isolation yes yeah um trying to study
probably losing a bit too much motivation on it just because you
don't have to do anything, like lectures or go anywhere.
So typical days has been like waking up at midday, having lunch and then studying for
like five, six hours.
I don't know if that's healthy or not, but overall.
Welcome to my life.
This is what I've been doing the past couple of years.
I was doing the data web mining assignment yesterday.
That's a good one.
How's that one going?
Don't get you started on that.
Yeah, that one's a, that's a fun, fun assignment.
Has the back and forth on the forum been helping out with that?
Yes actually. I'm glad that you and a few others have actually questioned him on
his whole course structure and just how he does things.
Yeah I'm honestly thinking of just rewriting the assignment spec and just posting
it on the forum, like here
I'll accept payment in Bitcoin
Yeah
I've only done the first question
that's not too bad
First question was K-means clustering
That was association rule
Yeah, right, no, yeah, it was a priori
wasn't it, yeah, and the second one would have been decision tree.
Third was K-Games.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
So you understand everything as you would expect to?
Yeah.
Teaching him less to myself because his resources is useless.
My suggestion is to find the uh there's a a channel run by like wake up wake
up university and all of the wakey stuff he's just stolen from them but i think i saw that
yesterday i think like another student posted that in one of the discussion forum i think yeah
it makes it way easier if you go over that stuff. Also, a lot of his other stuff he stole from some other lecturers,
so you can find that online as well.
So nothing's original?
No.
Oh, God.
But if you...
I don't know if you're watching the lectures,
but they're not worth it.
In week six, he finally realised
that he has to stand near the microphone when he's
recording oh really because he's been doing what he does during the uh because all the lectures he
gave were just lecture recordings so he didn't actually redo any lectures because all of the
lectures this year are really lazy and not actually doing any work um but basically what he did was he uploaded those lectures where he would walk halfway across
the room without a mic yep i think i watching week four's lecture and just like come really
close and almost like scream in your ears and then you walk away and you wouldn't be able to hear any
decision true it's like in a constant battle turning up up and down
your volume yeah no and when it gets to a point it um it you just can't understand a word he's
saying and not just because there's an accent just because he's like five meters away from a mic
that's built into his macbook and they're not designed to be recording like that. Yeah. Hmm. Ow. I guess the content's interesting
enough, I guess. Yeah, if you can understand what he's saying, it's definitely interesting.
But yeah, the way it's delivered is not the best, to say the least. Yeah, that's one way to put it. Reminds me of, what was it, Database for the Enterprise, a little bit.
At least that one, I feel like the course structure pretty much made sense.
I wasn't actually questioning what the spec was.
That's true, yeah.
You couldn't understand a word the lecturer was saying, but...
Yeah.
At least no one was like, okay, so, what does this spec even mean? I don't remember anything from that course, to be honest.
XML, that's all.
XML, game.
Lots of XML.
Have you had much dealings with XML?
No. No? Never? Not really. Have you had much dealings with XML?
No.
No?
Never?
Not really.
Also, I think last time I talked to you, you were talking, when I ran into you and
Jai at the Maccas, you were saying you were doing a, well last time I saw you outside
of uni I guess.
Yeah, yeah.
You were talking about how you had a dev job at the time, didn't you?
Yes.
How's that going?
Still going?
Working at home?
Yes, it is still going.
I guess one part of it is I work for a winery.
And because of the whole coronavirus thing, their business isn't doing so well.
So they're losing a lot of money um like there's like a rough chance that they might i might lose my job because of it um
they talk about the possibility of like paying me not in money but with like wine bottles and stuff
which is a bit... It's kind of
useless for someone who doesn't drink wine.
Kind of sketch, I would say.
Yeah.
So that's that.
But I do have
another job that
is still paying me.
Better rate and consistent work.
Other than
the winery.
Yeah, it's going good.
Do you still live at home, or do you move out? Yes. Okay. I'm planning on moving out, I think,
um, if you have a job. Yeah, um, because, yeah, um, Jai, his girlfriend Jasmine and Jai's sister and myself.
The thing of moving out into like a house together.
Um, Jai hasn't talked to the bank yet about it, but um, hello doc.
Um, he just talked to the bank about it, but we've been looking at really cool houses.
Um, so yeah, hopefully.
His budget might be a bit too high.
Yeah, well, yeah, it is Jai.
600,000 maybe.
Woo!
Yeah!
Jai, what the f- what are you doing?
He's trying to find his dream house now, sort of thing, which might be a bit unrealistic,
but- It's not the worst time to be honest
considering the housing market is going to collapse arguably almost the best time but like
i don't know if his savings or income strength can suffice it enough for the bank to say
go for it yeah that's that's the biggest thing.
Because I was talking to my sister the other day,
and she was like,
oh, today's,
it's now a great time to buy a house.
Like, mate,
I barely make a grand a month.
I'm not buying a house.
Oh.
Yeah.
If it does go through,
it'd be really cool. Like, yeah, it'd be really cool like yeah it'd be really fun i hope yeah that would
be cool and then you realize you actually hate jai when you start living with him
that's typically how it goes yeah hopefully not hopefully not but yeah i mean i hope we have like
enough space so we do have a bit of um time away from each
other i hope you have enough space if you're spending 600 grand on a house yeah he's thinking
at least like four bedrooms two stories yeah right this is jai i forgot yeah um he's already bought a doormat he got that yesterday okay sure yep yeah so that's
good yeah jai is the big flex jai will be paying most of the bills yeah oh i still need to get him
on the podcast i i haven't spoken to him again about it. Yeah, I saw him yesterday because we ordered some clothes
and I picked my shirt.
I said to him that I was on the podcast of Tomorrow Being today.
Because I remember you told me he cancelled.
Yeah, he was busy with work and I just didn't get back to him about it.
So hopefully, it'll be interesting to see if you can get him on.
Well, I'm...
Sorry.
Really cool.
No, you're good.
I've got another guy coming on, should be next week.
I'm not sure at this stage.
He's waiting for a new mic to come up
because he would be recording off his laptop mic.
He doesn't particularly want to do that because he would be recording off his laptop mic he doesn't particularly
want to do that because he actually does make content online so he can kind of uh he's already
got a camera so um yeah but yeah i'll bring tamor on next week then i've got some uh linux guys i
talk to from time to time that i could probably bring on oh cool but yeah i do need to get back to jai about bringing him on as well because that would be fun that'd be really fun um because i've been helping um
deeds a lot with snapchat lenses and stuff um have you been getting us any of that or not
uh i really want to but i just don't really have the time, to be honest. Fair call, yeah. Yeah. I don't know how he does it.
He just works constantly,
every day, because he works
at StudyLink in the city.
He works
for Snapchat, oh, I guess
with slash for Snapchat.
So just, when he's not
working for his
main job, he's just smashing out lenses at home.
And then...
I'll just see him just like playing Overwatch or something on Discord, I'm like,
Well yeah!
When do you have time to do this?
I feel like he doesn't sleep properly.
Nah, I don't think it does either. Last night we got off at like 2am, because I was playing Overwatch with him.
I don't know if he's awake now, probably might be, but I don't know.
Because yesterday he worked from the city, your city job i just get up for like a meeting at 9 30 so if he's
um if he's going to bed like 3 a.m getting up say at 9 for a 9 30 meeting it's not really
no no that's that's that uh elon musk mindset where you're just I'm the CEO of three companies. I'm getting going to never stop working
Yeah, wait, is it three or what does he have here SpaceX Tesla?
The solar one
Yeah
I'm not sure
But still I feel like I feel like it's three there might be another one there as well
Oh, and then he'll just do things like,
whenever there's a natural disaster,
he's like, I'm going to start boring a hole in the ground.
Or, oh, what company's doing the underground rail?
Or the rail system?
Doesn't matter.
Elon Musk does too much work. And Jaiai is he's got the same sort of mindset yeah like definitely worth it in the end but I don't know if I'd be willing to be working
like 20 hours a day every day well for me I do I've mentioned this on the podcast before, but I do...
What?
So we've got seven videos a week on the main channel.
Then we've got the podcast once a week.
That takes about an hour to two or so...
An hour to three, sorry, to record.
Then I do podcast clips.
So I do about, what, 13 or so videos a week.
And that's already enough work for me.
Plus I'm doing uni and working right now as well.
Yeah, yeah.
And I'm like, well, I know I have time to do other stuff,
but I'm like, I don't want to.
I just want to relax for a bit.
Yeah, exactly.
But I guess if you're making as much as Jai does from the Snapchat stuff,
then you're probably going to change your mind.
Yeah, he's working on a land
like a big company, he can easily get like
10, 20k
for the entire team.
Which is still like a lot
of money. Oh yeah.
That's technically like a side
thing for him, but it's also like a main thing
in the same um if i
got paid 20 grand that's more than my yearly salary so yeah i'll just give up there um so yeah
it's not bad no he's making his own personal lenders that he doesn't get paid for um well yeah that's to build up like his his
credibility so he can get those big uh big projects yeah so he's worked for like for huge
like companies like i guess sports bet in australia um mcdonald's yeah i know about the
mcdonald's one that was that was ridiculous it's still pretty right pretty sick though oh no i would absolutely take
that mcdonald's money oh absolutely yeah um hit me up raid i'll take your money um
be at sick really cool um we're planning on going to america at the end of the year
good luck with that the looks best but I don't think that's going to happen, really.
No.
Not with what their numbers are doing.
No way.
We've pretty much slowed down at this point.
But America, I think, is still going for gold.
I think they are gold.
I think.
I think they overtook Italy
They did overtake Italy a while back
I don't know how much
How much they're at now
Last time I checked
There was like 300,000
Or something ridiculous
Yeah
At least Adelaide
I think yesterday
They had like two new cases
But
The days before
They had just zero
Yeah
Very steady decline.
I think that's also helping with the panic buying as well,
which is good and also bad,
because it's bad because I don't get hours at work.
Oh, yeah.
I've got three hours this week, which is great.
So if I wasn't doing this as well, I wouldn't be paying my bills.
Yeah, jeez.
Because, yeah, fortunate that we can work from home. I wouldn't be paying my bills. Yeah. Jeez. Cause yeah.
Um,
fortunate that we can work from home,
but people like you,
or I guess even tradies or whatever,
um,
they have to go on site for work.
Yeah.
It's not sustainable really.
Like three hours a week is
yeah
well it's three hours for this week but
we don't really know what's happening
as time goes on
because last night's load
was 500 cartons which
is 10 hours
of work basically
so basically you just need the manager there
and one other person
actually no yesterday was Tuesday basically. Damn. So basically you just need the manager there and one other person. Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Actually, no, yesterday was Tuesday,
so they don't count the stock that goes on the ends as part of loads.
So they would have had the manager, one other person,
and then two people doing the ends.
But I don't know if you've walked into a Poles or a Woolies recently,
but basically the ends now are just like pallets of just whatever
because they just don't really have
much else to put out there.
Plus they're not really doing specials
right now.
Yeah.
Yeah. I hope this all
blows over kind of quickly, at least for
us and Adelaide.
Yeah, Adelaide probably will,
but I don't know how long
it's going to take for stuff to get back to normal. That's the thing.
Yeah.
Because I've read a thing
and once it does
pass over, people aren't going to be ready to go back
outside again, like, immediately.
Some people might not be used to
sunlight or
just driving in the city for
parking or something
exercise don't sit inside all day you can still go walking just cross the street when you come
near someone um but yeah i've i've been outside fairly recently regularly because our ICT project kind of needs it. They aren't really...
they're trying to set up remotely, like remote access. They are having
bit of complications with that. Wait, you guys don't already have remote
access? No, so the weeks up until about now have just been preparation work.
It's like choosing a framework, choosing a language to work with slash in.
And then like the past week or two, they've been configuring our access to the building.
Right.
And this Friday, we're like starting our first day at work.
Oh. Oh.
Oh.
Discord just crashed.
Oh. Why? Okay.
I'm running Discord Canary right now
and it decided that it wanted to just install an update
in the middle of...
Just in the middle of a recording
happening I don't know why oh and now my webcam is a mess okay I'll fix that I
I don't know, okay, is my webcam gonna fix itself? No?
Okay, I will stop the recording and cut this back.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah, Discord, I was just saying to Corey off-camera that Discord decided to update literally in the middle of a recording.
Don't know why. And then then obs decided to die as well
so we're back now um is your webcam on oh no i don't have it on here we go there you go now you
should be able to see me there we go okay cool back to back to the show. That'll make quality content.
Anyway, you were saying?
Um, it was an ICT project.
So this Friday, we're having our first actual day of work, from like 9 till 5, working on
the thing we need to do.
So yeah, good to get that started. Six weeks of prep and stuff
has been a bit lengthy because you had to write an entire document for the language
professor and stuff.
Oh, you had to do some stuff like that?
Yeah.
Ours has been like a complete mess. Ours is very much a research project so they're and the thing is they're basically doing
all the stuff all the hard stuff for us we're just doing the implementation so we're basically
just interns really like it's not even really a proper ict project we just have to document the
stuff uh in like the stuff that we have to do for assessment. And that's pretty much all we're doing on the documentation side.
Damn.
Is it easy?
I haven't actually done any dev work yet.
That's the thing, because I haven't had a computer to do it.
Okay.
I've been doing the systems design document the past couple of weeks.
Right.
Yeah.
Which means I have to retroactively document a codebase with zero documentation.
Oh, jeez.
So we have this massive Unity project with tens of thousands of lines and tons of classes without any comments.
And I have to go back and document it.
Bruh.
I'm not documenting their codebase.
I'm just going to document it in the system design document.
For sure.
Yeah.
I'm just gonna document it in the system design document. For sure. Yeah.
But this is the good part about having a really high GPA. They give you a project that
they pretend is difficult, but not really. Ours is barely even one semester of work.
It can kind of be...
Ours is... Oh, sorry. Okay. It can kind of be...
Oh, sorry.
You go.
It can kind of be just as much work as we want it to be.
They'll give us some features to implement and we implement however many features
we need to implement, really.
Ours is just like a web application, pretty much.
It's like the foundation
and just building on top of that.
Even they said it's just just building on top of that.
Even they said it's just, it's not really that.
Because we're there for the full year,
but no way that foundation framework is going to take a semester even.
So you're going to fill up the remaining time with just like little projects to build on top of it for them.
Yeah.
Second semester mainly focuses on doing a research
paper though so what you're probably going to be doing is some sort of case study or something with
the tool you built yeah that should be all right though i hope at least yeah well depending on
whether how you're going to have to conduct it, that's the problem. If we're allowed to actually do proper case studies or if we have to do some sort of remote case study.
Yeah.
I wonder what's going to happen with our exams as well.
I don't know. That's the question.
Surely they can't monitor everyone at home.
Not easily.
There's two ways they could do it one, they just accept that
everybody's going to cheat
two, they get you to install
some spyware on your computer
to force you to
yeah, but you can still cheat and just have
your notes off to the side
because data web mining is closed book
but everyone's going to the side yeah because data web mining is closed book but everyone's gonna cheat 100
because last year when um like jai dej manik were in america um giant monique had to do the cloud
programming exam while they're over there i think what james got them to do was just record like the room they
were in um so they that allowed for no one to like walk in them to walk out that sort of stuff yeah
um and then just send off the recording to him afterwards that was a bit of a special case though
because that was a small group you can't yeah exactly you can't really scale that up to a hundred people yeah so it's hopefully just don't get an
exam just like get a non graded pass or something I don't know and that would be
nice I really don't want to do data web mining exam yeah cuz that's good I think
you said it's easy but nonetheless it's a closed book exam, though, so he's going to do something stupid with it.
He'll expect you to remember formulas and stuff.
Yeah.
I've never understood the purpose of a closed book exam.
Test your memory, I guess.
Yeah, that's the only thing, really.
Because in industry or whatever,
you're always going to have the resources there to help you
if you don't know a formula or whatever.
Yeah, pretty much.
So this is like the only case where that's not the case.
Does that make sense?
Yeah.
Which is more or less pointless, really.
Yeah.
We'll see what it ends up being hopefully he gives us a practice exam but
i can't hopefully i can't see him doing it probably just base the exam on the pracs and
just expect us to do all the pracs and stuff again yeah i haven't done it oh you mean tutorials
sorry it was pracs yeah yeah i haven't done a single one as tutorials
i did the first week's one but then quit my my usual well what i'm probably going to do is
after the assignments uh after the assignment submitted then i'll go back and do a couple
yeah but right now it's like i want to focus on getting this other stuff done then i'll deal with
you later yeah pretty much because like after the assignments due have like three or four weeks i
believe afterward where we just don't do anything i'm still learning content but nothing examinable
or assignment wise it might be examinable or assignment-wise.
It might be examinable, but it won't be an assignment, yeah. I don't think...
I've been learning R in the last few weeks,
but I don't know if that'll be examinable.
God, I hope not.
That would be stupid.
So go do some R programming in...
I thought this was an R course.
That's the reason I decided to pick it up.
It should be.
It should be, not Waker.
Yeah.
In one of the recent lectures,
he talked about some of the achievements
that came out of Australia and the Australia region,
and he listed Waker as one of the achievements.
It's like, mate, Waker,
you can't even do a five-number summary.
It's actually a piece of garbage.
It's not a good data web mining tool. It's actually
useless.
Do you know of any other
ones that we could
have done that might be better?
Just doing stuff manually in R probably would have
been easier. Much easier.
A lot of the tutorials online and stuff are in R probably would have been easier. Much easier. Because a lot of the tutorials online and stuff are either in R or Python, but it just...
Oh, you could have used the IPython notebook then.
Yeah, exactly.
Just streamlining the entire process, really.
One thing I did want to ask you about was that video you were in on Connor's channel.
Oh, don't ask that.
That was such a good video.
So it was our goal.
He wanted me to do another video.
I don't know if it might have been like a cooking one or something, but something fell through with that.
So he wanted just to make, I guess like a lore video that ties in now with a video that you may have seen, like the detective one, recent one.
I can't recall. I might have seen it.
That's basically him investigating the man being me in the previous video that you're referencing.
So pretty much, I found an old DJ Hero turntable at home.
He has like a keyboard, like a launch pad, and obviously his Mac.
And we just made up the entire storyline on this.
Like someone walks in, asks for beats, and just like storms in,
pulls like instruments from nowhere apparently,
and just does, like, stupid shit.
How many takes did that
actually take?
Not as many as you'd think.
It only took, like, maybe an hour or two
to do. Wow, I would've fucking
lost the entire time.
It's pretty funny.
But yeah, I'm actually kind of happy how it turned out because I'm... You're cutting out a bit.
Oh, I'll cut a bit.
No, I mean like, your connection seems to be cutting out.
Or maybe it's mine. No, Or maybe it's mine.
No, I think it's mine. Is that better? Your webcam's completely frozen, you're
just like looking off to the ceiling right now.
Um, that should be... my connection says it's all good. Is that
better?
Maybe turn your webcam off and start it again.
Yeah.
Oh, there we go. Now I get to see my glowing face.
Hello.
Okay, cool. You're back now. Lovely. What was I saying? Yeah, I'm happy how it turned out because i'm not
um typically like an on-camera person um but i just kind of got rid of that sort of
i know yeah anxiety whatever yeah um and just had fun really um and yeah got a
from everyone i've talked to,
they just love the video.
I found it really funny.
I feel like it was one of Connor's best videos.
Aw, I appreciate that.
But yeah, I actually have no idea
what he's going to do with that content,
like lore or backstory-wise.
But yeah,
his videos in general are just really interesting not only because of the video itself
because it's entertaining as heck but um have you done the puzzles related to them
what there's puzzles i have no idea what you're talking about so in every thumbnail or at least
most thumbnails there's like a binary code.
Wait, what is that?
And then you translate the binary and it gives you like a sentence or like a statement or something.
And typically that might be the answer
or you have to translate it further down until you get like a clue.
I did not know about this.
In the description as well, he usually gives like a hex number or
even some more binary. You have to, sometimes you have to like link the thumbnail and the
description stuff together to make something. But yeah, it's gone hard recently. Like,
Kenley and I have been working together.
We couldn't quite figure it out.
I didn't know this was even a thing.
I need to ask him about this next time I bring him on.
If you have a look at his videos, you'll see, like, it's not obvious,
but it's there.
Like, just a string of numbers.
And, yeah, have fun. This channel is even more artsy than i
thought it was it's so good honestly he deserves way more subscribers than he has he really does
yeah um not only because the quality but also like just the variety it was like the rap videos he does cooking like the sloth ones as
well um and just other random ones um such as my music man one that might tie in but
um as of now it's kind of like a standalone as well yeah um but yeah it's it definitely like he's one of
the channels where if i if he uploads i'll be like the one to watch it almost immediately um
but yeah it's good it's good i don't know if you saw it i I forgot to put it up on YouTube. I'll do that after this is over.
But it was in the episode with Connor, the soup wrap.
Soup wrap.
Oh, you haven't seen the soup wrap yet?
I don't think so.
Okay, I'll put it on YouTube as soon as this is over and you can watch the soup wrap.
Oh, God.
Because it is amazing. I can't believe I forgot to put that up
I think I've just been forgetting
ever since I had to build the new computer
which is off down here actually
yeah I saw it on your Instagram
yeah ever since I built that
I've kind of been behind on stuff
yeah
but there is something about
this computer. I had...
It's supposed to have a 3900X
in it. It has a 3600X
in it. Oh,
God. Because I killed the 3900X.
How'd you kill it?
I got thermal paste on the pins.
Oh, bro. I put too much
on the thing. I tried to get it
off, and then I got some on the pins and that obviously
killed it
so I'm just going to wait till the
4000 series comes out and then replace it
yeah
which is supposed to be September
what I've heard, it's supposed to be September
but I'm not sure
and it's also supposed to work with existing
existing X570 motherboards or X590, whatever it is It's supposed to be September, but I'm not sure. And it's also supposed to work with existing
Existing x570 motherboards or x590 whatever it is. Oh sweet. Yeah. Yeah, which is nice
Didn't you also buy two motherboards? Yes I did also buy two motherboards
Yeah, I bought a
Z Z whatever the Intel one, Z390 or whatever it is yeah yeah and that was
that's an intel board and then i was meant to buy the x570 which is the amd board right and i'm a
moron basically if you haven't if you haven't noticed i'm actually like i'm not actually smart i just work hard i'm actually a moron um yeah so it's all working now
so we had the the best of the worst case scenario the worst case scenario was that i've also fried
the motherboard and the reason that would be really bad is because uh x570 motherboards are
sold out everywhere because everyone's spying up computer parts right now right yeah that makes sense so the reason you're still seeing me as a ghost is because i tried to
get a new webcam and you can't buy webcams right now really at all oh you can but you can't because
you'd get them off ebay yeah increased zoom webx. So what people are doing,
this webcam I'm using on the actual recording
is a Logitech C920.
And they are about $120, $150 Australian.
They're selling for $300 on eBay.
Really?
Yeah, so I should have...
Screw buying crypto.
I should have bought up some webcams
before all of this went down.
Oh, actually.
You make mad bank.
Absolutely.
Because everyone's now using Zoom,
so what happened was
a lot of companies started buying them
for their employees.
Then it started going out of stock
because of that.
And then other people were like,
oh, they're going out of stock.
Buy more up.
And now people are selling them.
But no one's talking about it. This is, like,
everyone's price gouging on webcams
and there isn't a single word about it.
Yeah.
Because the thing that's catching more people's attention is
the fact that people are price gouging on, like, food
and on toilet paper and stuff.
Hand sanitizer.
Oh, by the way, that stuff actually
is coming back.
Yeah. My store's got some toilet paper, it stuff actually is coming back. Yeah.
My store's got some toilet paper.
It's got some sand sanitizer as well.
Yeah, that's good.
So I think by now at least the rush has kind of died down.
Yeah. People are kind of used to it now.
So hopefully there isn't still like that sort of mentality
that just grab everything you can
and leave other people in the dark sort of thing.
Yeah, well, even when I was buying up a lot of stuff, I wasn't emptying the shelf.
Yeah, exactly.
So I've got 10 kilos of rice in my cupboard right now, which i was an asian uh that wouldn't even be that
much like there's a there's a girl at work who just on a normal day i asked her how much rice
she has she's like oh i have like 65 kilos like i'm sorry how much do you have no way because if
you eat rice or if you have a a family of like four people and you all eat rice with every meal
you're gonna go through it pretty quickly yeah but still it
lasts a couple of months um that's a lot of rice yeah well anyway i was saying um i bought up that
10 kilos over there and i went to like a little iga and they had two bags there this was when
there was a two bag limit so like you know i'll just buy one because i know like a lot of like
old people go to that store so like, someone else can buy the other one.
And then I found another bag at another store anyway.
I was like, okay, well, that works.
Yeah.
That's the sensible way to do it.
Don't just empty the shelves everywhere you go.
Like, those people early on who were, like, buying 20 rolls of toilet paper, then going to the next store buying another 20.
It's like, what are you doing?
Like, what are you doing?
Yeah.
Like, my mum was lucky enough to find, like, there was small bottles
of hand sanitiser in, like, a petrol station.
Mm. Like, midway through the rush,
so we've been using that.
Um, I think...
I think we had enough toilet paper
before it all
happened. Um...
So, we're lucky in that sense, but but like, not everyone was in the same boat.
Oh, lovely!
It's a liter bottle of hand sanitizer.
Yo, sell that shit.
That's not the worst idea.
But yeah.
I'm glad it's all kind of settling right now.
It's still pretty shit, obviously,
because we can't have any freedom, almost.
But it's definitely getting better,
as you've seen with the new case numbers and stuff.
And judging by just being an essential worker,
people are slowing down
yeah exactly they're starting to i think the reason the case numbers are going down is because
a lot of people are now staying inside more often they're not going to the shops every single day
yeah yeah and that definitely helps a lot definitely um but yeah zoom meetings are fun like before beforehand i had no experience with like any web meetings like no skype no zoom
and then almost like every second or third day now, I'm having a meeting with my boss or pretty much just for work, really.
I think you'll fit in perfectly on this podcast.
That was my level of segue.
Yeah.
Just like, fuck it.
No segue.
Whatever.
It's fine.
That was even on my list of stuff I was going to talk about anyway.
Yeah.
Anyway, yeah.
Zoom is garbage.
Go on. Yeah. some stuff i was going to talk about anyway yeah anyway yeah zoom is garbage go on uh yeah i thought that zoom before all of this i thought zoom was just some random piece of software that
only our uni used i didn't know it was like i haven't even heard of it before to be honest
no one had and then it just booms um so i guess they're like one of the only companies that have
made money out of this situation uh netflix is doing really well i know that that's that all
the um i guess homey stuff housey stuff yeah, Apple TV isn't. They're the only one that's not.
Really?
Yeah, so they've, what they've had to do, because Netflix is also doing really well.
Yeah.
They're giving away like 10 free shows for every single person who has like a Apple device.
Oh, sick.
And I think they also give you like a free month or something.
So that's enticing all the Apple users Just to go over to Netflix rather than
I guess their native
No that's for Apple TV
Oh I see I see
Netflix is just doing business as usual
Yeah yeah yeah
How's Stan going?
I'm assuming they'll be doing okay as well
I don't know presumably they'll be doing okay as well. I don't know, presumably they're doing okay.
Yeah. But I heard that Virgin Airlines has gone under. Or at least...
Wait, what?
About to be.
I didn't hear this.
Yeah, they kinda gone.
Yeah, I don't know many details about it, but Ryan, he told me about it. They're pretty much screwed.
Fuck.
And then even my work, for an example, we're...
I would...
Still selling wine, obviously, but, like, we still have, like, a restaurant,
like, bed and breakfast sort of services that just aren't getting any traffic
obviously yeah um that's just a lot of revenue gone unfortunately um but yeah i've been saying
this to a lot of people but the virus isn't going to be the worst thing about the virus it's going
to be the the knock-on effects after all of this happens. Exactly, yeah. I know there's already a couple of movie theatres in the US that are
that have already gone under
or are very close to going under
and if Virgin goes, that's a
massive hit. That's huge.
Yeah. So I wonder how
Hoyt is still alive.
I doubt that'd be open at all.
No, all movie theatres are gone right now.
Yeah, exactly. I don't know be open at all. No, all movie theaters are gone right now. Yeah, exactly.
So, I don't know.
That's ridiculous.
Hoyt's also does have their expensive lounge,
so they probably have more money from that and stuff.
Luxe, I think.
How much are Luxe tickets normally?
Two months.
Like $30 or $40, I think.
Yeah. our lux tickets normally two months like 30 or 40 dollars i think yeah but yeah we'll see what happens after all of this because we're only just now starting to see what's gonna happen yeah
yeah with every everyone going under or people obviously um i wonder how those services will be replaced like if a new business was born
that will kind of um see like kind of integrate with what we have now but then provide the same
things what under businesses have done or like do you know what i mean i'm not sure what you mean
like with the business going under and stuff,
I wonder if there'll be like a kind of semi-boom
with new businesses trying to replace the ones that went under.
Right.
Yeah, I don't know.
I think it'll...
Well, we have to get back to the point where people are willing to spend money again.
Yeah.
And the problem with that is if no one has a job,
then no one's willing to spend money anywhere anywhere near as much yeah for sure because i um i heard like australia post is just
way too backlogged at the moment because everyone's ordering stuff from online
um i've been pretty good with them but they have been a bit slower than i would expect
yeah because i ordered some stickers from my friends,
because she's an artist.
She lives, I'd say, like, at least 20 minutes from me.
Like, I sort of teach her a gully sort of area.
Yeah.
I think.
That was three weeks ago, and I still haven't got them.
You just got them in person.
Yeah.
Yeah, she's thinking that she might just,
because she, I was the first. Yeah. Yeah, she's thinking that she might just, because she, all the first ones are all of them,
so she, like, drew up, like, a special exclusive one for me.
Oh, yeah?
So we're thinking that she might draw, like, a new one up
and then made in person or something.
Yeah.
Like you say.
Because that would just alleviate just the waiting time and stuff.
Like, yesterday, my mom got her phone bill from uh
whichever company she has um and the due date was yesterday as well um yes um
so yeah like even the government sort of not government services but um
like even the government sort of not government services but um
phone companies and like all that sort of stuff are also getting backlogged
people can't pay their bills as they usually would as well which is a bit weird i want to see what happens during tax season because we've already seen the um mygov website go down so it's going
to get real bad during tax season when everyone's trying to do it online.
Because normally you'd have some people
who just go to a tax agent or something like that.
But having everyone doing it online
is going to be interesting.
Yeah.
It's going to be another census DDoS.
Also known as we didn't buy enough server space.
The same thing happened
to Centrelink as well.
They're like,
oh, we got DDoS.
Like, no, you didn't.
You just didn't buy enough server racks.
Legit.
Oh, God.
I guess technically
people using your service
is a DDoS.
I just got a message from my boss.
Okay.
You're surprised what?
It was just, you're not working anymore this week, basically.
So what I already knew.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm very happy to have a second source of income right now.
I wish it was a bit further along,
but I can always push some more stuff on library.
That'd be the easiest way to increase that.
Definitely.
Yeah, at least you've got that backup plan as well.
Yeah.
If you just worked for Coles
and you didn't have the content
creation on the side then it wouldn't be a fun situation to say the least like not earning
any money for like at least a month now almost like three weeks three hours a week well i'm not sure what my my hours are going to be last week i
had nine this week i have three so it's a bit variable yeah usually i'm sitting on like 12 to
15 so it is lower than normal but yeah but i also have a subscriber who has way too much fucking money.
I got... Did you donate?
Yeah.
Dude, I got a PayPal donation for 300 euros the other day.
Really?
I was like, I'm sorry, what?
Are you sure you didn't put another zero on this?
And he was like, because I have...
He was bothered by the fact that I have this on my desk.
Oh, God. And he was like by the fact that I have this on my desk. Oh God.
Uh,
and he was like,
you should buy some real whiskey.
And he wanted me to buy like an 18 year old bottle of Highland Park or
something,
which is about $300.
Oh my.
You're not going to use that money for that,
are you?
No,
I'm going to put it in my bank account.
Cause I don't have enough fucking money right now.
Exactly. Maybe in a couple of months I'll buy my expensive whiskey
but not right now when I don't know how much money I'm making
yeah legit
well I know
I know how much I'm getting from content creation
that's sitting at about
at this stage
360 a month or so.
That's pretty good, actually.
Yeah, well, YouTube is...
That's sort of a side job.
It kind of is, yeah.
YouTube, kind of, not even the biggest part of that.
That's only like 120 or so a month.
Yeah.
Most of it's from library, which I wasn't planning to sell,
but if I have to, then I have to.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Because I was just going library, which I wasn't planning to sell, but if I have to, then I have to. Yeah,
exactly.
Yeah.
Cause I was just going to hold it until prices go up.
Cause I want my crypto Lambo.
I was talking to my friend the other day,
just about streaming in general or content creation.
Like some of the huge streamers,
they get like donations of ups like 20,
30,000 USDd like it's ridiculous
i don't know how people have that much money to spare for a donation to a stream they don't
personally know i assume unless you're like mr beast and you're doing it for content i don't i
don't get it yeah because at least the streamer i watch, his name's Shroud. I'm sure people know about him.
Yeah, the name rings a bell.
Yeah, just a really good first-person shooter-based streamer,
like ex-CS player.
Yeah.
But yeah, he moves to Mixer, actually.
Almost unfortunately, Mixer's nowhere near as good.
Oh. Um, almost unfortunately, Mix's nowhere near as good. Um...
Oh!
Oh, it died again.
What is going on? Why is Discord dying so much right now?
What is going on with Discord today?
What happened?
This time it just crashed for no reason.
Bruh.
I need to stop using this laptop.
Next week's episode will be on the new desktop.
I just... I'm still in the process of setting it up,
so I didn't have my recording set up working just yet.
Yo, I remember your first podcast with connor that was
named technical difficulties yeah this one's um real technical
oh anyway you're saying mixer is shit yes um but yeah nonetheless like
not only him but the donations that they get are just ridiculous.
Like, if you have a good stream, you get, I don't know, $10,000, $20,000 from a donation.
Then you have all the subscriptions with that, which is $5 each, at least for base subscription.
And then, at least on Twitch, you got bits as well um that's like a lot of money flooding into
your channel um well if you just look at how much some of the higher end creators make like
uh h3h3 for example has like a fucking 10 million dollar mansion
yeah like that's insane. Yeah it's ridiculous.
Hmm. I might start streaming at some point. I'll do like, I don't know, I might do like Q&A streams
or something but right now I think I have the ability to turn on super chats. Yeah, I don't know.
Maybe when I'm not busy with uni stuff as well because i'd want to
actually do a proper link stream i don't want to do like a half hour hour stream i kind of want to
do like a couple of hours exactly yeah and right now because the honors project is actually about
to start getting really busy then can't really justify doing that yeah you can even do like a
arch linux installation on stream
fuck off I'm not doing an Arch Linux fucking installation
video
why not
actually I might have to do it
because the developers of Arch
decided to fucking break the installation
process
so
basically what you're used to do is pretty much the only part of Arch Linux that
actually is really installing Arch is running Packstrap. So the earlier stuff is setting up
like your time zone, your language, your petitions, things like that. That's all pretty much the same
stuff on whatever distro you do. The only thing you do to actually really install Arch
is run Packstrap and then where you want to install
all of your programs to and then what you want to install.
The way you used to do that was just run Packstrap slash MNT
and then install Base.
Because what Base did is what...
Base had your basic editor.
It still has an editor, just not a good one.
It had the Linux kernel.
It had your firmware.
It had fucking man pages.
Now it doesn't.
Now Base, literally what Base does is it installs some basic Gadoo utils,
and you don't actually get a Linux kernel with it.
So you have to go and install the Linux kernel separately,
and also the Linux firmware separately, and also man pages separately.
Is there a reason? No. Well the reason that people are theorizing in my Discord is they did it to basically break all of the existing Arch installation videos, so that people would
have to use the wiki. Oh really? That's
the only reason I can think of. But then people are just gonna make it with a new
process and just upload them again. Yeah that's that's what I'm I'm thinking of
doing an Arch video but we'll see. I also might do one with UEFI because fucking UEFI is a pain.
Also, I forgot to put my webcam on.
There you go.
Oh, yes.
Yeah, UEFI is an absolute pain.
Yeah.
If you ever want to install Arch Linux, do it through legacy BIOS mode.
Okay.
Because when you do UEFI, you have to do a bunch of extra work with grub to make sure
it can even recognise your Linux partition.
So that's just a pain in the arse.
Also WiFi is hell.
I hate WiFi.
WiFi is actually the bane of my existence.
Just shit to set up?
Yeah, it doesn't work.
It straight up doesn't work.
I don't know how to get it to work through the command line.
Basically, what I do is I will set up Network Manager,
then I'll install a GUI, install a little applet that is in my status bar,
and then just let that deal with it. Because I don't know how to do it through terminal it doesn't work that's stupid but once it works it works fine it's just getting it to the point
that it works that's the only problem yeah yeah I've been wanting to install
Linux I don't know if it's a specific distribution,
but Linux in general for a while,
but I just haven't done it yet.
In the end, it really doesn't matter what you installed.
Yeah.
Like some people... Sorry?
Sorry.
I think it'd just be more of a fun thing.
I don't know if I use it just for a work thing or whatever,
but just to explore explore um and get experience
with that sort of configuration process yeah but yeah yeah really it doesn't like some people will
say oh it's really important you install this or this or this like no it doesn't really matter in
the end if all you want to do is experiment with linux sure there are better distros with um default configurations but you could turn like i i know a dude who um
he installed ubuntu and then decided to replace the ubuntu kernel and also the ubuntu package
manager with the stuff from arch so he basically turned ubuntu into Arch, just for the lols. And it works perfectly fine.
It's Arch Linux now.
But, yeah, he started with Ubuntu for no reason.
Pretty cool.
It is cool that you can do stuff like that, for sure.
Yeah, exactly.
A lot of, like, customizability, almost.
A lot of freedom, you know.
Maybe sometimes too much freedom.
Okay.
Because if you i guess the problem is this is the problem i had when i was first thing you're switching i didn't know what distro to pick because i wasn't
sure like what the differences were or anything like that i didn't realize it just didn't really
matter and then when you get from that point and you have a distro like okay
well do i want a window manager or a desktop environment which one do i want a lot of decisions
it's so easy to switch between them it doesn't really matter like if you install kde for example
it takes like five minutes to switch over to something like gnomeome or XFCE. Okay.
Yeah.
That's good in that sense then.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, definitely something I might do,
I would say in the holidays,
but holidays are about to end.
Probably end of year
once we're all done.
Just as like a little project
or whatever.
What are your plans after uni?
I applied for a graduate thing at Lockheed Martin.
I went to the Careers Expo.
I talked to them and it sounded really cool.
I had an interview with them three weeks ago.
They said they'd call me the week after but they still
haven't called me so I don't know you're not gonna get coal but my friend he
referred me so that's why I kind of got straight into the interview process like
almost straight away yeah he said it could be a good thing because they're
still interviewing people but it was so it might be a good thing because they're still interviewing people but it also just might be a bad thing that they just ignored me almost yeah um
but yeah nonetheless i got like good experience out of like a
a video interview like sort of questions i'd ask or whatever yeah so not all hope is lost
but it'd just be kind of unfortunate if
That just be kind of rude to be honest just a
Nor someone in the application
Yeah, that's uh, there are some companies that will do that
I don't know whether they're a company that does it frequently, but yeah
I know that when I was applying for a lot of my first jobs,
they wouldn't respond back for a couple of months.
It's like, come on, guys, what are you doing?
Sheesh.
Yeah.
But, yeah.
But, like, other than the interview process,
there was, like, an online quiz you had to do.
Mm-hmm.
It started off fairly easy, I guess,
but then it bumped up really hard in difficulty.
At the end of that, I got above average, which is actually quite surprising.
So the interview process isn't the only deciding factor on whether they pick me.
Right.
So I don't know what's happening I
Think I know book what they said that let you know in May
But we'll have to see I guess just waiting on the call. Yeah
If that doesn't go through I might just apply for other positions. At least get a year minimum under my belt before I either move into the full-time position in the company
or just use that experience in my resume.
It's like an actual career somewhere else.
But yeah, see how we go.
Honestly, at this point for me, I don't even know what I'm doing.
That's the thing.
Like, yeah.
Like, I'm enjoying content creation so much.
I don't really want to even, I want to finish off this degree, but I don't want to even
go and do development work at this point as like a development.
Well, I love programming, but I don't want to really do it for someone else.
Yeah.
So.
Just do it for yourself and then for your content.
Because you've already got a good subscriber base.
From someone who started in the short term.
Or in the, I guess, big picture, actually.
Barely recently.
They're getting a lot of subscribers. At least in the past month or two definitely yeah i went up a thousand last month
yeah that's ridiculous but um i was gonna say that i've got a mate who does a lot of um
startup stuff so he'll yeah he'll just make a random startup application like okay is this gonna make me some
money nope next one yeah yeah so i might go and do something like that that does sound like fun
um yeah but yeah because honestly i i don't once you have that uh that uh i guess a taste of working
by yourself you're like i don't want to work for someone that sounds horrible yeah like i can do it's fine working at a supermarket because that's not like
as long as you're doing your job you're just putting boxes on shelves not really
any way someone can tell you to do it better or anything like that um but if it's some sort of creative work, then I don't,
I don't know if that would even,
if I'd be able to even still enjoy that.
Obviously,
if there was a company that I really believed in their project,
that would be different.
But,
but the thing with uni at this point is I'm three years in or three,
almost three and a half now.
And I just want to get this done.
Legit.
Yeah.
Cause I'm looking at like giant done. Legit. Yeah, because I'm looking at, like, Jaya and Connor, for example.
And they're just chilling at home doing, either working like Jaya.
I'm not sure if Connor has something in line.
But I think he's been doing side projects for people.
Which is really cool.
Even you, for example, make channel art and all that.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know what he's doing besides his artwork.
Yeah.
Last I spoke to him, he said he didn't have a job, so.
Yeah.
Even Monique, like, she's finishing halfway through the year.
Just because the way she structured her own program sort of thing.
She's still finishing earlier than us for example. Yeah
But yeah, I don't know I
Probably looking back on it. I probably would have done this software
Development stream. Mm-hmm. Just because of one less year don't have to do as much ICT stuff. Um, I
Don't know if they had to do AI either.
I think they did.
I don't recall.
I don't remember Jai saying he had...
No, he did, he did, he did.
Because he did the HCA star algorithm.
At least like half of it in a couple hours,
which is annoying because the rest of us are struggling with it
I couldn't even work that one out. Wait, no, no windowed I couldn't work out
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah HCA star was fine as the windowed one whatever that's called windowed
That's a star or something. Yeah Which I could never work out.
Yeah, yeah.
Dream convinced he made up. 100% on, somehow.
I don't know how he did that.
That assignment was a complete mess as well.
Yeah.
But I don't think he had to do systems architecture,
as an example.
Yeah, maybe that.
Yeah. But yeah, cut off an entire year um definitely a benefit i think yeah well how are you even feeling about uni at this point
do you feel like it was worth it or do you think maybe you should have done like a co boot camp or something like that um because a lot of the stuff we learned is already out of date exactly plus and it was out of date
when we learned it yeah again using data web mining as an example we're teaching ourselves for 90% of it. Because his lecture slides are bland.
His resources are not useful, to say the least.
So you've got the YouTube channel that you mentioned,
and then other websites will just condense all of that into a package
that actually makes sense, and you learn from it a lot faster.
Plus you just learn, you learn obviously all the concepts from programming for whichever language.
That's only half of it until you actually start almost like screwing up and debugging.
That's where I can really learn which yeah for sure you don't
inherently do through a uni course that's just through experience um yeah so i feel like doing
a more proper ict project like you're doing probably does have a lot of benefit yeah because
mine's more like as i said before mine's more of an
internship really yeah but like here's some tasks do the tasks yeah because i think kenley and
matri is one um i think their final deliverable is a research page oh geez so um that's a bit
it sucks for them because,
or even with research methods, that's just,
why is that an IT degree in general?
Because they want, well, yeah, it shouldn't be here.
It should be in the master's course. Software engineering should,
it should be about building up a good software engineer,
but no, it's about building up someone
who's good to go into research.
That's why you do things like Python and things like that.
That's why you still use Waterfall
because all this stuff is still being used
behind the scenes in research.
Yeah.
That's something I've talked about with Reese a lot.
The fact that this,
the project is structured as a waterfall project, like the way they want you to do the assessment pieces,
it's all structured as a waterfall project.
It doesn't work during agile,
even though they talk about how important agile actually is.
And it's especially the case with,
cause we're doing a very heavy research assignment during that,
um,
that first meeting
when we had to explain what the project was,
we couldn't, like, they asked us, like,
oh, have you got the data yet?
And, like, no, because we just don't know
what the data is at this point.
Or what's your timeline like?
We have literally no idea
because, like, we don't have a timeline yet.
Yeah. Like, it's still in the research phase. literally no idea because like we have we don't have a timeline yet yeah like
it's still in the research phase like you can't map my course on to a
waterfall structure yeah it was Kenley's again his supervisors on leave I think
it's Bruce oh yeah Bruce is back now yeah and i think they don't i don't think they've actually
like really done much of it just because the client and suppliers have just been busy or away
do you know who the client is no i don't know is it andrew I'm not sure because I know Bruce was
Bruce is my
client and Andrew is my
supervisor and I think they were talking about how
they weren't sure who was going to do what
on what project
I think that might be the case with that one then
yeah
they're just kind of
in the dark at the moment
unfortunately
yeah we should Um, they're just kind of in the dark at the moment, um, unfortunately.
Um.
Yeah, we should be a bit better very soon,
because Andrew is supposed to get the list this week.
I don't trust him, though.
Yeah.
See, I probably shouldn't say that,
because I know Andrew actually watches one of my channels.
Andrew, I love you, don't, don't hate me.
I don't know if he watches the podcast.
Actually,
he knows about the channel.
I don't know if he watches it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Cause I,
I mentioned,
um,
like my lighting and stuff.
And I was like, Oh,
it's for my YouTube channel.
And he wanted some advice for lighting.
Cause this is actually crazy.
Okay.
He's a lecturer who wants to know how to record good video.
I know.
Crazy.
Yeah.
He's because he was going to go to China to do some lectures,
but obviously not happening.
That's definitely not happening.
Yeah.
So he was like,
Oh,
can you send me some links to what you use for lighting? I can do that that's cool sweet yeah I remember the last
lecture he actually had good recording
Adam my train back to Adam at least knows how to Well he actually uses his lapel mic
Some of them don't
The uni gives them all lapel mics
And some of them just don't use them
Yeah
Our favourite friend John
Actually I think he started using them in this year's lectures but last year's he didn't
and that's the one he uploaded have you told the story on the podcast about the infamous
microphone incident oh yeah i think straight after it happened i did talk about how uh
he went to the he went to the bathroom with the mic on still
yeah okay so for anyone who didn't hear that story because oh it's so cursed basically what
happened was uh the data web mining lecture or lecturer john jiong whatever his last i don't
know his last name is we're gonna call him john because that he accepts it he a lot of the okay one thing you need
to remember at uni sa is that all the lecturers have given themselves like if they're chinese
they've given themselves white names because no one can say their name otherwise so anyway yes
we're gonna call him john he accepts the name john um what he decided to do was during like
the lecture break he decided to go to the bathroom.
And through his big brain intelligence, he didn't take his mic off.
That's fine.
Most lecturers don't take their mic off.
But he also forgot to mute it.
And then we're all sitting there minding our own business. And we start hearing, we hear a door open.
I was like, okay, that was weird.
And then we hear a stream. Was it a was weird and then we hear a a stream dryer
no first we heard the stream and like wait yeah that's a blow dryer wait has he has he just left
the mic on when he's going to take a piss and everyone lost it and like okay maybe not and then
we hear the blow dryer i'm like okay that settles. He left the mic on when he went to go take a piss.
And then no one said a word about it.
We just let it happen and just moved on.
Sadly, though, he did have the recording muted.
Otherwise, or the recording paused.
Otherwise, that clip would be online.
That would have been hilarious.
Yeah.
I would absolutely put that online along with um
you know the soundcloud account that had all of the the jerry flips no oh ask jai about it there's
a soundcloud account out there that has a bunch of clips of jerry where he's saying like a square is not a circle and things like that jesus i look forward to
i don't know if it's still up i hope it is but it is it is amazing
yeah some even some of the clips that you've got from john classic i don't know what he's
saying half the time he really hates fat people as well.
Really?
Have you not noticed how every time he brings up an example of how statistics can be ruined,
he'll mention fat people and talk about, like, if a fat person comes onto the bus
and you try to take the average weight of the bus,
like, the fat person is the outlier.
It's like, I get the example.
But every time...
Like, I get why he does the example.
But every single time, it's fat people.
He doesn't use any other examples.
That's so stupid.
I love it. It's awesome.
Also, he loves this example of people who buy beer and diapers.
No shit, I've been seeing that online as well, so I think he stole it from someone.
Yeah, he did.
Yeah.
Half the courses don't even have their own original content anymore.
I think that's the biggest problem I've noticed with uh with my degree at least that
99 of the content is just content we could find online for free yeah it's the case like there's
not really many courses that it wasn't like that really obviously some of the lecturers structured
it well like you take adam's courses early on actually even the later ones he kind of structured them he took the content and then he structured it in a a lecture sort of format but then you
have people like john who literally just copied his lecture slides from someone else yeah or
actually wolfgang just yeah wolfgang stuff yeah textbook um slide concept descriptions He just deals with the textbook. Textbook. Slide. Concept descriptions.
Just puts them in the slides.
I think, no, one of the...
Whose course was it that they literally just used someone else's slides?
Like, these are the slides from someone else.
It might have been one of the CompSci courses.
Oh, it might have been, actually.
I remember that happening, though. Yeah. Yeah. Was it the second CompSci course? I think it might have been actually. I remember that happening though.
Yeah.
Was it the second comp sci course?
I think it might have been.
Yeah.
Um, course, yeah.
Comp sci for software engineers.
What even happened in that course?
I don't even remember.
We did, uh, what it means?
Like the circles.
Um, what are they called?
Like the, remember like the circle diagrams?
Um, automata.
That's right.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. circles um what are they called like the remember like the circle diagrams
um automata that's right yeah oh yeah that's it right and we also whenever things like chomsky
normal form and things like that oh yeah dude i i said i would do a video on chomsky normal form
and then i forgot about it I remember just cramming like
three days before the exam not knowing much and then knowing pretty much everything.
I've kind of felt like that with data web mining really. I didn't understand
half the stuff early on but now that I've gone back like oh wait that's what
he was trying to say. Yeah because like for indecision trees, for example, it doesn't exactly tell you what entropy and
information gain are.
Yeah.
Conceptually, he just says, this is how you calculate it.
Yeah.
Then I found a, it might have been, I think it was just a website or whatever.
It actually explains why they're important and what the values actually mean.
explains why they're important and what the values actually mean
which
is almost
more important
than the actual calculation itself
and he just completely
skips over it
Speaking of things he
skips over
you know how he said you now know everything
to do the assignment?
Yeah that's a load of shit
that's absolute bullshit um i'll send you a link afterwards but he'd never explain what conviction
is so you have to explain what lift leverage and conviction is but doesn't explain it in the
lecture slides he gave the thing for lift yeah um but he's he referenced a paper just learn more about it and then in that
paper it said um we don't explain lift here go find it yourself essentially um so that didn't
help at all he also he mentioned leverage but then didn't explain why leverage was useful
yeah he's like here's the formula for it. Why is this useful?
That's your job.
Yeah, I was doing the calculation for the things yesterday.
I got lift and leverage perfectly.
But conviction's strange because the formula that,
at least I found online,
it doesn't calculate the same conviction as what Weka gives you.
And then in his forum, someone asked the question,
and he says, normally, this formula is used,
which gives the impression that there's multiple formulas that can be used.
So, and then, because I was working with Kenley and matri at the time just trying to research
about it and we found like almost two or three different conviction formulas um that no one knows
which one weka actually uses right um so i've just said like I'll include an example calculation with the formula that I've found
and just like lose a mark or two
I don't think he wanted you to do
an example calculation
doesn't he?
maybe he does
I think he said in a thing
explain lift etc
and then show
an example calculation
from the rules that you did
in part C or B.
Oh, maybe I missed one then.
Okay.
Maybe.
Cause I just included the formulas and didn't actually include a example, but
I'll go back and do that.
It shouldn't be too difficult.
Lift and leverage are fine.
Um, but conviction is a bit weird yeah that's one
way to put it yeah um but i was hoping to start this is in trees part probably tomorrow um oh
good luck on the feature selection by the way another thing he doesn't teach apparently no he
uh well waker does teach the w Wicado thing does teach it.
But what he wants is he wants 10 features selected,
but he doesn't tell you how to do 10 features selected.
Huh.
And he's like, oh, well, feature selection is like an attribute you can set.
And he's wrong.
There's no way you can set it to select 10 attributes.
Okay.
So what I... I posted on the forum about it, and he was like, no, that's wrong you there's no way you can set it to select 10 attributes so what i i posted on the
forum about he was like no that's wrong it's like no you don't know what the software is actually
doing because there is no attribute to set 10 features um basically the way i did it was i used
a j48 tree which is the basic decision tree um I think I set it to best first search and I think I had it on like five fold or
something and that gave me 10 features.
Okay.
Um.
But.
Is that the only way of getting that then?
That's the only way with the J48 tree.
Oh.
I haven't found a way to do it,
unless he wants you to do feature selection some other way.
I don't know.
I'll have a look, I guess, but...
It's confusing.
Yeah, it's definitely confusing.
Have you had a look at the research methods second assignment?
Or third... second assignment, yeah.
Not really. Not yet. Yeah. I have briefly looked at it. look at the research methods second assignment or third second assignment yeah not really not yet
yeah i've briefly looked at it i've basically written down or written down a template and
that's about it okay what does it cover um basically we have to come up with a research
methodology for the third assignment okay um she explains what that is in the week seven lecture
but she decided to release it early.
Because she saw that me and a couple other people were working on it, so like, okay,
well, I'll release it early to be nice.
Yeah.
Helen actually is pretty nice like that.
Yeah, exactly.
I haven't watched most of the lectures, but...
There was one lecture that was actually quite interesting About language
I did watch that
There's a guest speaker
Yeah when she was
When she was basically saying hi to everyone who walked in
The most
Passive aggressive way
That
I wish we had more
Lecturers like that
That's what I would have expected a lecturer to be like But most of our lecturers are like Really introverted and don't want to had more lecturers like that. Like, that's what I would have expected a lecturer to be like.
But most of our lecturers are, like, really introverted
and don't want to even be lecturers, really.
Yeah, exactly.
Like, you take John, for example.
He's not a good lecturer.
He's really smart.
He's a horrendous lecturer.
Exactly, yeah.
Same with Wolfgang.
Adam's a bit different.
Adam's actually pretty good at it.
He's actually entertaining to watch and listen to. Just's a bit different. Adam's actually pretty good at it. Doug as well. He's actually entertaining to watch
and listen to.
Just because he's relatable.
Not only does he play games or whatever,
he obviously watches movies.
He seems like an actual person.
Exactly, yeah.
Yeah, that's a good change for sure.
Same as Joe.
I don't remember Joe's lectures.
They were good.
Yeah.
She's still...
We sort of caught up with her late last year.
Just because of the courses we had to pick.
Just asking questions and stuff.
Oh, right.
Yeah, she's taken the course coordinator position
or whatever it was.
Yes, I think so, yeah.
But she's still really useful in that sense's a really cool to speak to and stuff um but yeah
uh what was i gonna say right um
i don't remember yeah i, kind of a deeper held.
Yeah, pretty much. We can keep on the
uni topic. Do you remember how we actually
ended up meeting?
I think we met
through Sam, didn't we?
I think so.
Sam was the one to
go into AGPU
and sort of ask everyone he met
just to come in
and just meet everyone
I remember
going to the club
during
what was it
O-Week, right
because I met Sam during O-Week
he was there with
Josh, I believe
yeah
I remember, I think the first person
I met that wasn't Sam and Josh
because we went to high school together
I think it was Lachlan
hopefully
that's a name that I haven't heard in a while
yeah
but yeah
I think I met
do you remember Hines?
yes I do remember Hines
we met Hines and Kong and Ryan
yeah
and then
I met Jai in the
networking fundamentals practical lesson because we sat next to each
other.
And yeah, I think everyone just kind of joined AGPU at just random times and just got to
know everyone eventually.
And then, yeah, here we are.
I'm still close friends after all these years.
I think the only person I recall ever actually meeting in Network Fundamentals was Stefan, if you remember him.
Stefan? Oh,
I think so. I think he ended up dropping out.
Yeah, I think so.
But I think he knew
Sam or something, or Sam just knew him
somehow, and
then it ended up sitting next to him pretty much
throughout that entire course.
Yeah, Sam's got a good way of just
meeting people
and engaging with them easily, which is really cool.
I need to bring him on the podcast and talk about
why the hell he just talks to every single person he meets.
Maybe it's his greeter mentality or something.
Probably, partially at least.
Yeah.
I met Jai.
No, I know how I met Jai I know how I met Jai
Jai I met in Design Thinking
and it turns out
that because we both used to work at Maccas
my current
boss at the time was
his old boss
and we started
talking shit about some of the stupid stuff
that he's done
that was fun. That was good. Yeah
The first time I remember meeting Ja was he had a surface proof
He had a d-brown skin on it. Of course he did. I just commented on it. The dude's always had money
Like he lives in fucking Salisbury and just has a shitload of money
He lives in fucking Salisbury and just has a shitload of money
Some of the shit he owns is completely pointless, but it's just for- Oh you mean like his GTR?
He doesn't even drive that often, he even-
I don't know if you remember, but he has like a bear- not costume, but like a bear jacket
That has like a huge bear head that isn't like the hood.
Um,
at least, it costs, I think it costs like
two, three hundred dollars at least.
But it's just
completely for
fun,
I guess.
Um. He's a weird character
for sure. Yeah. He's a weird character for sure.
Yeah.
He's a good meme.
Absolutely.
He's a really good friend as well. He's good.
And now we've got silence again.
You got anything that's
absolutely pressing right now
not really
nah
I was telling Kenley about this
but I think it's a good topic
um
I don't know if you know about
or if you've watched it
but Mr. Robot
that's still on my it's on my list right now Or if you've watched it. But Mr. Robot.
That's still on my phone.
It's on my list right now of topics that I knew you'd fucking bring up.
Please watch it.
Kelly and I are the only two people to watch it.
And we need more people to talk about it.
Because the writing, the story is fucking perfect.
And I think it's just a show
that's underrated in general.
I still, it's got
I think like eight and a half on IMDb
or whatever.
Yeah.
But that doesn't represent the show in the slightest.
So I think being a tech podcast
is definitely something that your viewers should watch
low key um i would definitely check out mr oh okay i watched the first two episodes mr
robot when it came out then i forgot about it oh did you like it yeah no it was really good i just
yeah i just forgot about it the uh i don't want to say this without
spoiling but
it's sort of Game of Thrones in the sense where
it gets better as you go along
you might not think it
but it
because season 3 is
you think that's like the peak of what
it can achieve
but then season 4
somehow
which is a credit to
the writer and I don't know if he's... I think it's part creator. Sam S. Mayle
is quite genius in that aspect. So yeah, i highly highly recommend plot twists you will never see coming um well
already first episode i already didn't know what the hell was going on yeah um the intro scene is
like probably as you know the pilot in general is just like one of the best pilots I've seen. Just in the way it tells enough of the story to get
you hooked but then leaves enough
to be questioned of
to watch on.
Right, yeah.
But the story
throughout all four seasons
is written in a way that
if you watch
there's clues throughout each of the seasons
that lead up to, like, the big reveal at the end.
But you don't know it
until you watch it again, almost.
It's like, there might be a thing
that might be, like, a bit peculiar,
but you don't know what it means
until later on.
Right.
Then when everything's revealed,
then it just links together perfectly.
And it's, like, super satisfying.
So, actually, they wrote the show in mind
that they're all connected,
rather than just, like, season
and then another block season, et cetera.
So, yeah, yeah. just like season and then another block season right etc um so yeah yeah um probably my favorite
tv show of all time yeah um which is it it beats bad game of thrones excluding the last season um and yeah highly highly recommend i will get around to it
at some point i just haven't i haven't been watching the anime in the past couple of months
oh really you're you're just like no it it lagged for a bit and then you just
sped up everything that just came through.
Yeah, I've just been downloading stuff and sticking on a hard drive.
I've been focusing on this really and on getting uni stuff done. Yeah.
Kelly and I watched each episode episode with American ads last year,
which in itself is kind of a statement because we don't like watching ads.
So there's shows that we actually actively look forward to on every month.
And yeah, I bought the first season on DVD, not knowing about what it was,
like at least, I think maybe four, three, four years ago.
Um, and then I saw someone's Foxtel account thing and watched season two.
Um, like I had a huge break um then i watched seasons one two
again then what season three that just came out and then you watch season four live um so yeah
a bit jank in that sense but yeah i will get around to it at some point I don't know probably during the actual uni break or something
yeah
please
I'll probably make a group chat if you do
because I just want to discuss it with people
either theories or whatnot
but yeah
everything I say
just can't represent it
how much I love it and how well it is made.
But yeah, that's why.
I did talk to you at one point about this,
but I'll bring you and Kenley on for a Mr. Robot podcast at some point.
Please.
Oh, surely.
At some point, I'll remember to watch it,
and then we can actually do that.
Yeah, that'd be amazing.
Maybe I'll bring one of you back when I finish the first season or something
and then you just struggle not to say anything
the first season
you won't see the plot twist coming
I'm just going to say that as a blanket statement
okay cool
but that being said
there are clues again
that lead up to it but you still don't
fully see it
right yeah
if that makes any sense yeah
yeah it's
quite the show
speaking of anime actually I've been
kind of getting into it.
I read my first manga like a few months ago.
Was it Maki?
I don't know if you've heard of it.
Oh, that's an interesting choice.
Yeah, because Kang recommended it to me, and I really like horror.
He was saying the...
I think his name is Junji Ito, the author.
Widely known as the best horror manga author.
Yeah.
At least one of them.
So he recommended that book to me.
That was really good.
Never watch any of the anime that's been made of Junji Ito's works,
because they're all garbage.
Yeah.
I think there was a an Uzi
Machi one being made, I think.
I'm not
sure.
Monique's getting...
I watched the first season because of her,
of Tokyo...
Tokyo Ghoul?
Yeah.
Cut out for a second.
And then she like the last episode ever of that show the other day and she's saying how good it was
there we go i'm taking longer here nice i actually have all of uh all of the first series.
Yeah, I really want to read those, actually.
Because reading manga is just easier.
Yeah.
Obviously not as much text on the page,
but also just visualises everything for you, almost.
Yeah, yeah.
So you can easily smash out a book in like a night or two really
oh yeah these these are really light compared to some of the stuff that i some of the other stuff
i read yeah um so it was in my case that's a thick book but i read that in like three nights i think
like reading a hundred pages in a night is very achievable. Yeah for sure.
This is quality content, here we go. Because this is what I'm reading right
now. I'd usually try to just keep something... Focus. There we go. Okay. This is actually really good.
It's only, I think, six volumes or so.
Yep.
And...
Yeah, basically each of the volumes is like an encapsulated story where they, like, try
to obviously solve whatever's going on.
This is a mystery series.
Oh, sick.
I think it's, like, number one on my anime list or something for like light
novels but yeah I was gonna say about Junji Yuto go read um Amagara Fault
you know what it is I guarantee you know what it is it's you've probably seen the picture, this is my hole it was made for me.
Garo.
I got tight.
And then Monique's also recommending Death Note, because I think that's just a widely, almost like classic quote-unquote in anime,
because most people who watch anime have also seen that show.
Death Note is definitely something that you should watch.
Obviously, some people overhype it, but it is a really good series.
Yeah, I've heard that the second half isn't as good.
Very true.
But I don't know if that's in comparison to the first half for us, it's just
dropped in quality in general. I would still say second half is pretty good, but
compared to the first half it's not very good. Yeah. I'd probably buy the manga as
well. Yeah. Reading is just better in my opinion. and then what's tv show after yeah that's fair
yeah um well i think we've got like 10 minutes left till you have to go
yeah so i think before we go i'll just do you have uh some just random story that
just some weird thing that's happened during quarantine?
It doesn't even have to be a good story.
Just whatever you come up with, because I've got one.
Just people being weird during quarantine or something like that.
Not really.
I went out for a walk a few weeks ago.
I went out for a walk a few weeks ago.
That was with Jasmine,
Jasmine's girlfriend.
Jasmine didn't come, but he had to work.
We just had a good talk
just about random shit that day.
That was good.
Just going to the city
for ICT,
I found a really good Vietnamese place where we order like banh mi and then also the place next to it is buy hot chocolate.
That's like the best. I wouldn't say anything overly entertaining has happened or strange.
Have you seen the people who have conversations with each other across the road?
No.
I need to go outside for walks more often.
It's hilarious.
You'll have neighbours that are across the road from each other and they'll just talk to each other like as if they're next to each other it's great um some of the news like people
were having like balcony parties yeah yeah um the one i was gonna say was i was on my way to work
yesterday or the the day before or something whatever day i went to work. And I was just driving along, and I see a car speed past me.
I was like, okay, well, some dude's speeding.
Then an undercover cop car decided to start chasing him.
And it wasn't just like a normal one, it was like an SUV.
And then a second undercover cop car also started chasing this car.
I don't know if it was just like a stolen car or something,
or it was someone who was wanted
because this dude
like normally you don't have two
two undercovers chasing you
when there's one there they'll usually be good
so I don't know what was going on there
but he ended up turning
down a side street into like Elizabeth Grove
and I don't know what happened
after that but
was it on the news dude i know i didn't
check it might have been maybe i'm not sure but yeah people interesting people are just weird
right now yeah people are definitely like losing it like losing their sanity almost because like people because like um i guess like a month
before this all came i went to the gym i started going to the gym with sam it's funny getting a
good routine um yeah and then you lose it it just kind of stops yeah so all the pain you had we went
on all parts of the body is,
I don't want to say for nothing,
cause we still have experience at the gym,
but like you have to go through it again.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's why I've been trying to get back into actually working out more.
So I,
I can get into going to the gym without killing myself.
Yeah.
Cause like the later sessions after the month, you're still hurt afterwards.
But the recovery was just a lot shorter.
Like, first leg day, I was in pain for at least two, three days.
But then second and third just kept on getting shorter and shorter.
So, have fun doing that again, I guess.
It never gets easier.
You get like, you have more perseverance, but it never gets easier.
Exactly.
Yeah.
But honestly, the hardest part about working out is stopping.
Yeah, exactly.
Once you stop, then it all falls apart.
yeah exactly once you stop then it all falls apart because not only with gym um that paired with like a good diet as well um that led me to like
losing like a couple kilos like the first week um but then no working out and then
at home it's just i'm still kind of watching what i eat but like it's just sort of more lenient i guess yeah um yeah oh overcast now whoa okay oh we're back now
okay cool i don't know what happened our cloud went over or something But yeah
But at least in the first month
Sam and I had some good progress
Yeah
This is why I
Don't let natural light happen
Because
Natural light is shit
Okay there we go
I think yeah
A bit too bright.
Yeah.
I had made the mistake of dealing with natural light early on.
And then I realized like, oh, this is a dumb idea.
Because if a cloud goes over it, you're completely screwed.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
You didn't realize how bad your webcam actually looked.
That's how it looks to me.
What?
Yeah.
Hopefully next podcast, whether that be with Ken Lee, If you didn't realise how bad your webcam actually looked. That's how it looks to me. What? Yeah. Um.
Yeah, hopefully next podcast, whether that be with Kenley or just...
I'll have a webcam on my PC.
Mm.
Um.
You'll still have the natural light issue, probably.
Yeah.
But, um, at least the quality will be better.
Yeah, well, hopefully.
Like, I wouldn't expect, obviously, people to have lighting set up, but... Yeah, hopefully the quality will be better um yeah well hopefully like i wouldn't expect obviously people to have
lighting set up but yeah hopefully the quality will be better yeah it's like at least in connor's
podcasts that's like a consistent light as well yeah oh i'm like now that's gone dark again
yeah as i was saying um uh yeah well at some point what i'd love to do when i have my own
place i would love to just have a like a space set up where i could just bring someone over to
do the podcast yeah exactly yeah that'd be really sick um so at least in the house that jaya is
looking at there's always a room that has a pool table
or an in-home gym or something as well.
Jeez.
So even if you get a house with a spare room, I guess,
that might suffice.
Yeah, well, I want to have a spare room and an office.
Yeah, yeah.
So yeah, it should be good hmm well spare room for me is a two-bedroom place so
um but yeah if i didn't have an office i would just get a three-bedroom place turn into
uh office or something yeah exactly yeah so like got, like, one house set in mind.
At least, like, Jai loves it.
But I don't know if he'll buy it, obviously, because I haven't talked to the bank.
Yeah.
But, like, all the bedrooms are up top.
And then downstairs, you obviously have, like, the lounge room.
You've got the gym, office, like, what's a huge gym um office like it was a huge backyard but
like a good backyard um so i kind of fit everyone's sort of needs um it's got like
enough space in each bedroom to have like a desk and stuff for that office sort of stuff yeah
but yeah um
but yeah um i don't yet as i said i don't know if it will get it but best best case scenario um hopefully that would be awesome it's five minutes away from both jaya and my
places in gulfy heights um oh yeah yeah okay so i can can still Drive back to my parents' place
Have a dinner with them
Two, three times a week
And just hang with them
So I don't have to drive across town or whatever
Which is really cool
Well I have to drive 150km
To go see my parents
Really?
Well okay, to see my mum, I don't particularly want to see my dad
He's in Salisbury, but that's a whole other story.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Future's looking good, I think, hopefully.
Yeah, well, I hope it does go well, man.
Yes, thank you.
Yeah, hopefully coronavirus doesn't halt any of that.
It'll slow it down, but hopefully not.
Yeah.
All the in-house inspections are gone.
Unless you book a time.
I know some places were doing, like, virtual inspections.
Yeah.
If some of them have, like, a 3D space,
you can, like, run.
It's like a Google Maps sort of environment but in the house.
It was actually quite cool.
But yeah.
Yeah.
So we're almost on the hour right now.
So if you want to end it now, we can.
Or we can keep going until your later time.
Yeah, probably have to have lunch and then head off if that's okay.
No, that's all good.
So, yeah, we can end it now.
Do you have anything you want to shout out?
Your LinkedIn?
Get yourself a job?
Shout out to my Spotify playlist, I guess.
I'll put links for anything you want links for.
So if you want to give me a Spotify playlist link.
Yes, Spotify, Instagram.
Got a lot of like bot Instagram people coming in recently.
What's your Instagram account?
Should just be at Corey Linford.
Okay.
Something like that.
Um, my Spotify's I think is linked in the description of that or the bio anyway.
Um, kind of a two-in-one.
Okay, cool.
Um, same name on facebook if you want
um yeah nothing else no twitter or anything nah i don't really use twitter um
i think i've read it if you really want. If you want to. Sure.
Remember what your Reddit even is.
It should be the name underneath my face once this is uploaded.
Okay.
My username.
Yeah.
Cool.
So I actually need to add that in because I forgot to add it in now.
It'll be added in post, but they would have seen it the entire time.
So there'll be some people listening on those.
True.
Koza underscore 23 with a dash at the end.
All right, that's a confusing name.
I haven't run with it for a while now.
Just keep up.
Cool.
So I think we'll end there.
