Ok, so I did my first live stream a few weeks ago. I didn't think " REALLY  slow After Effects work," would be interesting at all to watch, but I figured it would be more of just a way to get some viewers in the chat room and interact with the people who watch my videos, while at the same time getting some work done. I was correct about exactly two of those three things. It was really fun chatting with people in stream! It's a shame that the chat wasn't recorded, because it just leaves big gaps in the archived footage where I'm not doing anything on screen except typing. I also showed a few things that have absolutely no context without the chat such as: 41:10 This is the first anmation I ever made XD 45:17  These are some animations from a small studio I'm currently working for. More on that soon 1:38:56  I was looking at a YouTube channel of somebody in the chat. Turns out we knew some of the same people, but he just stumbled on my channel

I've written many drafts of the second part of this, but in truth most of the development was pretty boring. I mean, I found it fun, but it's incredibly boring to write about so instead I am just going to do a quick overview of the development. It started out with me learning the Android SDK, which works a lot like C#, however is WAY more flexible and hands on, which I love. Instead of being limited to only designing the interface with the WISYWIG like in C#, you can manually design it will XML, and really dive deep under the hood to tell everything how to link together. I then built a "Server" application in C# that could be used on the desktop to add and edit the master list of students, and transfer it over to the tablets using .JSON with a push of a button. It was also planed to have this app be the main base for handling the inter-tablet communication. The app would read these .JSON files from local storage, and display this list with a few extra butto

Nobody but porn bots read this blog anyways, so I don't think they will mind if I change things up a bit. For my next few YouTube tutorials I am going to try to do a Write-up along side the video and see how much time that takes. If it takes too long, or not that many people are reading them, I will probably stop, however I'm interested to see how it turns out. I'll still probably finish up my Accountability posts this weekend with a really quick summary, and post a little more random stuff about freelance work and life. If you are an actual human, and read this blog, let me know XD
