Welcome to Episode 29 of my podcast. The view from the crow's nest and this is going to be the shortest episode ever because it is still frickin Groundhog Day after the last what seems like all my life but it's probably only about six to eight weeks of working on the grip the sky experience. Something I realised in the last few days that I haven't actually specifically mentioned as to why this is taking so long is because there's three parts to the grip the sky experience. The first part is collating all the assets, which means recording the songs, getting the visuals ready, etc etc. The second part is designing all of those and putting them into a cohesive effectively a website into a cohesive system where you can enjoy it. And the third part of all of this is marketing so making sure that people actually know that it exists and getting out there to people. So the first part is kind of the fun part, hey this is creative I've made songs and it's all fun, etc. The second part which is the part I'm in now is putting it into a website is is the thing that is just killing me because it's taking far too long. And the third part is the marketing part which will be coming up. After this, and the whole thing is, as a user, you click a link, and the link takes you through to what you expect it to take you through to and you have the experience anything yet. That's fine, you probably don't even think anything, it just takes you through today experience and that's what was expected, but what you may not understand is as a web designer, working in the back end that click might be eight hours of work to make it function like you expected to function. So the worst is, the more time I put into this the more time that it is taking me to do this. Ironically, the user will probably notice less because it means that it works exactly as they expect it to it works in the most fluid and the most effective and efficient way. So I've just spent so long on this and no one's even going to realise it I swear, no one's ever gonna realise it, because all it needs to do is do what it needs to do. And as soon as it does what it needs to do for the user. You won't even think about what's happening between. So I'm still working on this damn thing which is taking so long, I love it, I want it out there when you to enjoy it. My goodness I'm ready for it to finish. Outside of that, man, nothing else has chatted with me today about trying to find as I was talking about yesterday trying to find stuff that is more interesting for me and her that we can do together so that when I'm looking after the kids. It's not just me being bored or them being bored, but actually something that we find a middle ground because I want to spend more time with them I want to do more stuff with them. But I need to be engaged with it. Just like any human, just like Mina does just like Leonardo does need to be more engaged with it and then in that way. We will have more fun we will learn, etc. So I had a chat today and we came up with a few ideas so hopefully we'll find a way of hitting a common ground so we'll see in the week ahead, had no fallout from my personal training session yesterday, doesn't even feel like a good one. Whereas, I'm still feeling in my triceps, the pain from Monday's session. So I know that Monday session was definitely more intense, which was the first session so my next one should be monday so I'm looking forward to that I imagine this Monday coming is going to put me through my paces and probably failure on Tuesday or Wednesday. Outside of that, had a social evening this evening or video call with friends. And suddenly that occurred to me. After all these years of the video cause accompli that only just occurred to me, but I'm going to share it with you in case you haven't thought of it and it might help you when you do video causes like tennis. You have to do your, your Say what you want to say and then wait for the other person to respond and say it back. A
