Tonight I'll convert more data for RetroRunner from hardcoded Javascript and Css into JSON. If I have space for more GIFs to get approved, I'll upload them to 7TV. I'll break my all-time record of simultaneous platforms during this stream for a total of 13. 13 x 2 = 26, which is the number of today's Spritenado. I added viewer counts for all platforms with widgets that I could find. I also forgot about the over-the-top animated color cycling stuff scene I made. Don't think I've actually used it before, here goes! Ugh, seems Aircast is pure junk. So disappointing because I want it to work. The first 30 minutes of my stream were such trash that I didn't bother to upload the VOD here. Until I find another Restream alternative, I'll continue to use the Multi RTMP plugin for OBS. For music I listen to retro video game music from the 16-bit era.

I juggle a soccer ball for exercise only. I don't know any fancy tricks. If I'm not out hiking, I want to do this more often for balance, coordination and fitness. Using a couple new IRL gadgets, including a different wireless mic today. Hopefully everything works ok. I had to leave my normal ball behind, so I'm using a much older one today. At least it's properly inflated though. This marks my first ever stream on Twitch, and a return to Youtube. If things go well, I'll continue. It's kind of a trial run, as I've had problems in the past (with YT in particular). For music I listen to retro video game music from the 16-bit era.

There are two disciplines of this project that I might work on tonight. Either I'll convert sprite sheets into animated GIFs for Retro Runner, or I'll convert hardcoded Javascript and Css "data" into json. New GIFs will be uploaded to 7TV. This is my first time streaming on Live.space, Vaughn, Xeenon, Picarto and Piczel for a total of 11 platforms. For music I listen to retro video game music from the 16-bit era.

This will be a short stream since my friend is on the way over in a couple hours. Many books are still cut and in need of alignment and edge smoothing via sanding. I use a belt sander and various, simple jigs. Mostly it is a process by hand, and ultimately I have to trust my eyes for the end result. I have done bookbinding for about eight years. This is one of my least favorite steps in the process because it is time-consuming and difficult to get right. I'll mostly use the same streaming setup as last time. However, the Insta360 camera needs a revisit, so I'll use 100% phones as cameras through VDO.Ninja today. I revamped details of my OBS scenes last night to look a little more consistent and pleasing to [my] eye. For music I listen to retro video game music from the 16-bit era.

I juggle a soccer ball for exercise only. I don't know any fancy tricks. If I'm not out hiking, I want to do this more often for balance, coordination and fitness. I'll attempt to quickly get my wireless mic, TTS and the Insta360 wide angle camera set up. Insta360 didn't work, so I went with my phone for video, and I played with my gimbal a bit.

Mostly it is a process by hand, and ultimately I have to trust my eyes for the end result. I have done bookbinding for about eight years. This is one of my least favorite steps in the process because it is time-consuming and difficult to get right. I'll use essentially the same IRL setup as last time. Hopefully my camera doesn't freeze a bunch of times. I semi-permanentely mounted the long USB extension to the ceiling inside, toward the door, prior to the stream, so I won't have to restring it every time. I also changed the audio setup slightly, simplifying the cords. A random graphical frame was added around the cameras. For music I listen to retro video game music from the 16-bit era. This is a replay of a full-length, unedited live stream.

Let's see how many sprite sheets I can convert into animated GIFs for Retro Runner. I'll write basic HTML, CSS & Javascript to add new runners. Since emote slots are full on both Kick and Rumble I'll add new emotes to 7TV instead. Instead of making a bunch of sprites I got distracted by beginning rework on the script for Retro Runners. Mostly all I managed to do was come up with a basic JSON data format for the runners and platforms. I'll continue from where I left off another time.

As I mentioned in my book sanding stream earlier today, I'll start a game from the Sega Master System (Genesis) Classics that I have on Steam. I'm leaning toward playing Sonic the Hedgehog 2, but I haven't fully decided yet. It needs to be a game I can complete in the next few days, before the weekend.

This is one of my least favorite steps in the process because it is time-consuming and difficult to get right. I think I finally got a setup that will work for IRL, though don't quote me on that. It should at least work for this stream, though maybe not for hiking ones (because something always goes wrong). For music I listen to retro video game music from the 16-bit era.

I'm burning man, not because I know what that festival is about - nope, I have no clue! I'm not hot, as in attractive - nope, I'm old, dumb and ugly. Rather, it's all about the weather. Where I'm at, it's predicted to reach almost 100°F today. Yikes, this man is burning! Sounds like a great day for a hike! I did say I'm dumb, after all. Hopefully my experiments in the previous stream pay off. At least I know a few things that almost for certain won't work, so I'll skip those options. I'll probably use the dual VDO.Ninja setup, as that seems to work best. However, I might also experiment with my 360 camera. Ironically, I meant to try that in the previous stream but forgot. So I guess I'll try it out on the field. Hopefully it's not a total F, but a W. This is a replay of a full-length, unedited live stream.

It's no secret that I like to play with streaming gear, but on a shoestring budget. For the most part, most of the gear I have is not top-notch, more like bottom rung. I don't have a lot of money, so I make due with simpler solutions. Granted, sometimes my streams suffer for it, especially in IRL. But with determination I believe it is always possible to do amazing things with lackluster gear. I have been experimenting with IRL tricks for 4 years. It's always super exciting to try new things, but often they are complete fails. Tonight I'll look through my various IRL gear and organize it. It's a mess from a recent trip where everything seemed to go wrong. If I get a good setup, maybe I'll go on a hike in the next day or 3 to try it out in the field. I'm like Naruto: I fail a million times, but I keep on trying until I get it right. I made an awesome discovery regarding possibilities with one of my cameras prior to starting this stream. This will be a very messy, scuffed, unrehearsed show and tell and experiment session. This is a replay of a full-length, unedited live stream.

It's a little bit too nice today, as in super hot. But one of these days I need to work on some books. I have a ton waiting to have their edges sanded smooth. So why not today? Well, if mosquitoes answer that question, I might end early. Rather than spend a bunch of time setting up the stream I'll start the stream and set up while I'm already live. Ended up smelling BBQ on the air and did a quick one myself on stream. Pretty scuffed, but oh well. Food. Eat. Stuff. This is a replay of a full-length, unedited live stream.

Go with the PhLo, and you never know what yer gonna get. While messing around with various lighting and camera scenarios, I got in the mood to write something down from the Bible. Then I spent more and more time messing with lights. Good enough, now I'll write. We have a black light, two colored lights, and some LED copper string lights. Oh, and also crazy digital color cycling. Why? I dunno, cuz it looks kinda cool or something. I'll write out some Scripture until I get tired. Introducing the likeness of my Grandpa, rest his soul. I found this crocheted doll at a 4th of July celebration a few days ago. Grandpa was my biggest hero in life, and I miss him. Though nearly blind and deaf, he spent most of his time studying the Bible. I'll never become half the man he was, much less become anything like Jesus while I yet live in this world. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless our efforts in drawing nearer to Him in His Word. This might not last long, as the music might put me and everyone else to sleep. I wrote out Psalm 37. Wow, that was longer than I remembered! I made it though, by the grace of God. Hopefully something will stick with me. This is a replay of a full-length, unedited live stream.

It has been quite a while since I've done a microscope stream. My OBS scene might not be set up properly. Rather than spending an hour preparing before starting, I'll mess with OBS after going live. On a beach trip with family a few weeks ago I brought back a few bags of sand. Each bag contains a different type of sand. Let's see what they look like under the microscope. A fancy set of precision tweezers I bought some months ago will come in handy. This isn't exactly exciting content, so prepare your pillows. I'll put all y'all to sleep.

Today I'll be experimenting with cintronella candles and repellent for the mosquitoes. If it works, I'll keep going. Otherwise it might be a very short stream. I juggle a soccer ball for exercise only. I don't know any fancy tricks. If I'm not out hiking, I want to do this more often for balance, coordination and fitness. No idea if my audio will be working today, as usual with IRL. Random construction of old picnic table benches, plastic chairs and BBQ. Same stuff everyone always does on stream, nothing new or exciting. Huge disasterous splash of candle wax, messy clothes, the standard stuff. This is a replay of a full-length, unedited live stream.

Let's see how many sprite sheets I can convert into animated GIFs for Retro Runner. If I'm in the right mood and see a need I might do a little coding with CSS & Javascript. Second stream on Arena.tv, or first non-garbage stream (hopefully). I'll experiment with Social Stream to see if I can get chat working this time. For music I listen to retro video game music from the 16-bit era. This is a replay of a full-length, unedited live stream.

Getting a late start as usual on a ride & hike. It's pretty hot outside, so I'll be a bit sluggish. If there is a cell signal where I'm going I'll stream something there. Today marks my first stream on Arena.tv. I literally learned of it minutes before heading out and hastily set it up for restream, no idea if it'll work. Maybe I'll just sit and write if no one joins me. The last two passages on my mind have been Jeremiah 17 and the book of Titus. No reason in particular. Maybe random, maybe something the Spirit wants to say to those who have ears. Hopefully I'm listening. Speaking of listening, featuring retro video game music from the 16-bit era. Turned out being a massive botch/scuff/fail/experiment stream. Audio wasn't working at all for the longest time. So I made it a chance to play around with various setups. I think I should go back to using my second phone as the audio source. My wrist strap broke. My wireless mic isn't working. Nothing works. Story of my life.

Mom and I are sitting and relaxing, waiting for a small town fireworks display to start. Dad wasn't able to join. It's not the biggest show in the world, but it's usually good by small town standards. I'll have a small set of copyright free patriotic music playing the whole time. No idea if my phone camera will adapt to the lighting and focus. If it doesn't do well, pardon the blur. At least there will be a few pretty lights. Happy 4th of July, Independence Day! Value your freedom, as it was hard won by the bravery of heroes and granted by the grace of God. True freedom is a heart set free by the work of Jesus Christ and His Spirit. Seek His kind of true freedom while it may yet be found. 1 Corinthians 7:21-24. Galatians 5. John 8:34-36. This is a replay of a full-length, unedited live stream.

Summer in the city. Or is it spring? No idea. One of those seasons. Should be nice. There is no plan on exactly where I'll go or what I'll do. I might eat dinner at somewhere - like Chipotle. Well, plans never come to gether for this chap. Chipotle was closed, and it took FAR TOO LONG to get there. Walk ended up being around 10.6 miles. All the restaurants were closed, so I called Mom to pick me up. I encountered a ton of odd signal, camera and audio problems - as usual! It seems every possible IRL streaming complication gathers to me like a magnet! There might be a few seconds of clear streaming in with all the scuffed junk. I'll do what I do with all my stream replays - leave as is, unedited, junk and all. A couple people understood I was a live streamer and called out - rare. Was a fun day chatting with friends. No idea how the time flew so fast though! Must have stepped through a time portal. This is a replay of a full-length, unedited live stream.

I'm in the city for a couple days. Off to my favorite brick wall to kick my soccer ball and juggle. Well, if it's still there. I think the park might have been remodeled, and not sure my wall made the cut. Hopefully! This is a replay of a full-length, unedited live stream.

Double beach surprise. Don't wanna write anything else right now. This is a replay of a full-length, unedited live stream.

The beach. Because my weak brain can't handle the crowd. I wasn't planning to stream much while here. But now that I took the time to set things up, I figured I might as well go for it. Going direct via phone, gimbal & RTMP instead of VDO.ninja. My old laptop essentially has no GPU, so I couldn't use it to stream from. This is a replay of a full-length, unedited live stream.
