Welcome to Episode 166 of my podcast. Have you from the crow's nest and it is Tuesday. Yes, the first December 2020. It's the new month. It's the last month of the year. And what I am sure you probably would agree with has been a pretty poor year for everybody concerned. I for one I'm looking forward to 2021 I don't know about you, but today, today is one of those days where I worked, but I don't feel like I've got anywhere, although I know deep down that I did make progress. It was just all very slow going. So it was a bit of a programmatic or day to day and what I mean by that is, I was learning how to use an implement stuff with Google Analytics, which is a tool that measures analytic stuff on your website, so I had to work out how to track when someone clicks on buttons on a website for a client, so that we could see if people are taking the action that we want them to. And that was something I needed to learn so you know it takes a bit of time to go through tutorials or find videos or help documents, etc. And then I then worked on worldschooling hub the API the appy side of stuff and API is basically just means where two computer programmes can talk to each other even if they're written by different people and companies. And it's something I've never dealt with before but I know is very powerful as you can imagine it means a one piece of software can share data with the other piece of software. In my case, I need to configure the worldschooling hub website so that when people register, they get taken to do a, an ID check, so the data needs to go to the Id check and then it needs to be validated and they need to be the right people, and then that data needs to be sent back to the membership plugin on the website so that they can then have their membership and get access to the website. And I was close to, giving up again, because it's, it's not hard but it's one of those things where until you understand the language. You know, it's just a jumble, but as soon as you understand it's like, oh okay now I get it, etc etc. Like anything I guess. So I think it's a little bit hard in the beginning but then it'll be pretty easy after that because it can't be too complex, and I did have some breakthroughs in it I did start finding okay but a trial and error but working out. Okay so this does that that does this okay this means that blah blah blah. So, progress, and, you know, definitely. move forward but I didn't get anywhere near finishing it. And, you know, getting my head around it entirely is not quite there so it's still going to be a while left yet. So again I feel like I did work but I didn't, I didn't have anything to show for it, I guess. Then I had a call for an hour with a guy I know who we might be doing some business together so that's, that's good. But again, it's an hour out of the day, I did do my song practice again I've added a seventh song into the sets and other seven songs I'm practising, and I gotta say I think well you know I'm feeling much more confident about singing now and about, you know, delivering these songs, I could definitely improve, particularly on the actual way I'm playing the songs on the guitar, but at least um you know that's the initial focus is not on the guitar it's on the vocal and being able to remember the lyrics initially and then be able to put them across and, and I feel like I'm making progress. So, again, nothing major to show for it, but at the same time, you know another kind of little continual baby step forward. And then I did a half an hour's work on one of the songs from a blind eye to love. And, in fact, I think it was a blind eye to love the actual song title song from the album, and I didn't make again I didn't make major progress but is it maybe a couple of little steps forward I'm finding that song a bit tricky is not coming to me the first three songs I did, they just kind of came out, you know, interesting ideas just develop straightaway and they sound cool. This one I
