Welcome back.

Your dreams for your ticket, I Welcome back to that same old place that she laughed about?

Well, the names have all changed since you hung around, but those dreams have remained, and they've turned around.

Who would have thought they'd need you?

We'd have thought they'd need you.

Yeah, where we need you.

Welcome back! Welcome back! Welcome back! Welcome back! Welcome back! Welcome back! Welcome back! Welcome back! Welcome back! Alright, stretch.

Okay.

All right.

Let's finish part of my walk on May Steps again.

I got like a couple of thousand steps this last session real quick.

So..

Welcome to until it.works, a thing I made mostly for myself to be able to work on projects that I've been meaning to work on and create things that I want to create.

Until the dot works is a thing that, because I'm the type of person, if I don't make time, I'll never find time.

So by doing Until It Dot works on Sundays, it gives me an opportunity to block out time to work on things and do these quick little live streams.

So since I'm by a computer, now to work on stuff or walk around either way.

So until the dot works consists of ciphers.

And a cipher is a three-hour block of time.

Within each cipher, there are sessions.

There's a work session and a break session.

Work sessions are like 45 minutes, heads down, working on, trying to make some progress, or like me, walking around and sending out, doing some post-radio show promo stuff.

Whatever it is, you're focused, and you're locked in.

Then around 15 minutes after hour, I'll pop up in here to remind you to take a break.

Get up, walk around, drink some water, do what you got to do.

But don't think about the thing that you're just working on.

Let your mind relax.

And so..

Like I said, I'll pop up here with the video to kind of like take over the screen, like, hey, take a break.

If you ever come to the site in the middle of a break session, the video may look like it's frozen.

That's because browsers don't allow for autoplay video with audio.

That's why I've noticed there that you say saying they may need to click play to start the stream.

Next to that is open closed caption button.

I'm using the speech recognition API that's built into Chrome browsers to turn my speech into text.

So if you click that button, a space will open up and the words I am saying will hopefully be transcribed accurately and placed in there.

Then there are two buttons.

Don't worry about them.

They're broken.

I'll fix them at some point.

And then there's a countdown timer, countdown on the next work session will start.

And then if you like to join the room, you can.

There's a link there to if you want to chat or ask questions.

Cool.

All right.

So that's that.

Now, work session will look something like this.

Sure, screen.

Cool So now, over in the right hand, upper right-hand corner, you can see if you check out subscribe, it has a list of all the upcoming ciphers you can subscribe to get notified when we go live.

Over on the left-hand side, there's an audio player if you want to listen to some tunes.

Here towards the center, we have the dedu section where it says add a task.

You type in your task, hit enter or the plus button.

It'll add to the list.

You can edit the task by clicking the text.

If you want to delete it, click the X box, X button.

And if you want to mark it complete, click Now, if you click the Twitter icon, it'll open a Twitter and a brand-new tab or a window, and it will pre-populate the tweet with the things you got completed, like in a list with like checkmarks next to them.

So for me, it's kind of a good way like, oh, seeing kind of stuff done today, like written out.

In the right column, we have a countdown timer, I count when the next break some stuff in there that if you're looking if you're interested in coding you know what I'm saying add some resources you can check out now if your brand new to web development, and you think it can be pretty cool we don't know where to start I have links to free code camp and the Odin project and from what I've seen from the curriculum and what people have told me that have gone through them, I think By the end of those programs, you'll have a good understanding of what it takes to do web development.

And then from there, you can make an educated decision on whether or not you want to spend more time and or money in pursuing it.

So those are there.

All right.

Then also, if you're already into coding, and you're looking maybe for like a quick project to get started, you know, kind of get your brain going.

This thing keeps My bad, I'm distracted.

This thing keeps getting like cut on my shelf here.

So if you're already into coding, and you're looking for a quick project to, you know, kind of like something you can start and stop in like one sitting and then maybe you'll generate some ideas and get your creative juices going, I have links to three tutorials.

And they go to the Vonage developer platform because I'm a JavaScript developer advocate at Vonage, so part of my responsibilities are look over tutorials.

And so on of them is you create this application following the tutorial.

You'll be able to, at the end of it, putting your phone number into an input box, hit call, and your real world phone will ring, and you have a conversation back and forth.

Then there's one that's the opposite.

We get a virtual number.

Link that to the application you create following that tutorial.

You call that virtual number from your real world phone.

You'll be able to answer that in the browser and have a conversation back and Then there's one where like two users like log in to an application and one can call the other through the browser and have a conversation.

So pretty cool stuff, I think.

And so those are there.

All right, Hako will come back to show and tell, sign up.

If you want to come up here and talk about something you found interesting on the internet, feel free to do so.

Show and Tell, sign for walking through that process.

And Hako.

Hako stands for a help a coder slash creator out.

It's a thing I made that if you ever get stuck working on the thing you're working on, you can create a HACO, which is a room that you can then invite people to join.

And the hope is that together, as a collective, you be able to find the solution or the feedback on the thing that you're working on.

And yeah.

So if you click View, to show you all the different HACOs have been created, you can click the creator's name to open up Twitter or GitHub, depending on where they logged in with, to check out the profile, see whether or not you like to request to join their HACO.

Over the left-hand side of a filter by keyword list, so if there's something specific you're looking for, maybe it's in the keyword list.

You hit create, they'll generate a unique URL that you can then copy or click the share to Twitter.

Now, when you join your HACO, it looks like this.

Got the title at the top.

Over on the right-hand side, you can leave the HACO there, or you can open the menu for some more options.

We've got a text chat here to the right.

We'll come back to that.

On the left-hand side, there's a countdown, time when I count on when the next break session happens, again, They're requesting to join your room, so they'll show up under pending.

You'll be able to click their username to open up Twitter or GitHub, depending on what they've logged in with, to check out their profile to see whether or not you'd like to let them into your room.

Do approve them, and they turn out to be a terrible person.

You can always ban them and get them out your room.

Now, you as the owner of the HACO, only you can share your screen.

Because again, of the point of the HACO is for you to get the help or feedback on the thing that you're working on.

I think by being able to share your screen and showing others what you're seeing, you'll be able to buy the context that others can use to then help you out with the feedback or the solution that you're looking for.

Now, the way you communicate through the hot code is that we have a text chat.

You put your message in here towards the bottom, hit send, it'll add it to the list of messages.

I also add the ability to enable audio chat.

So anybody who has their audio chat enabled, we'll be able to speak to and hear each other.

But don't worry about the folks who don't have audio chat enabled, they'll still be able to follow I have the opposite available where you can do enable text to speech.

So if you're not looking at the text chat, you'll still be able to follow along because what messages put in there will be read out aloud by your browser.

And yeah, that's pretty much it.

Those are the hotos.

You can check them out.

And cool.

Let me get you all back to work because I'm almost done with the post-radio show promo stuff So I want to try to get that done.

I got like a long list of things because I've been pretty active during my holiday break.

By the way, Happy New Year.

I don't know if I said that earlier.

And so I've been working on a bunch of different prototypes, right?

And some of them I can't really show yet because they're, I want the people who they're for to check them out first before I start doing stuff It's just kind of like a generic thing that I've been working on.

And a thing came in, so it's pretty cool.

So I've been working on these like coasters, right?

So this is part of projects I'm working on, but it's just the plain one right now.

I want to do stuff to it.

But I'm just kind of been testing it out.

And it's pretty dope.

I like it.

I put like a little groove in here so that when the cup is on there or whatever, and there's like condensation and stuff, like it'll go into the groove before it, you know, it spills over onto whatever because One of the points of the thing is so that, you know, it doesn't mess up the table that's on.

So I think by having a little roof thing, I'm still testing it out.

And it seems to be working so far.

But what I just came in, I think like yesterday that I was ordering, I wanted to test out, were like cork bottoms.

It's like adhesive, and so I was able to stick it on there, and it's pretty good now I did a circle like an indentation.

I don't know if it's Me or that, but it's a little bit off, but it's not that bad.

You know what I'm saying, and it seems to work like it grips to the don't know you can see this trick the table, but it grips to the surface really good.

So that was the point I wanted to get it because this is kind of like slick.

You know what I'm saying, and I didn't want the coast to go flying around and so yeah, So part of the design is I'm going to put something on the face here, you know what I'm saying?

And I'm going to create holders for these, which are going to be pretty cool.

So that's like the holders is going to be the whole thing, which makes it really cool.

And the design on here.

And so I'm going to be working on that later today.

But yeah, 3D printing is pretty dope.

You know what I'm saying?

I've been having a good time with it and learning a lot of stuff.

And so, but yeah, I made a whole bunch of stuff like this whole break, this whole thing.

And yeah, looking forward to getting back.

You know what I'm saying?

And yeah, I So, because it's cork, it's not really, you know, so it can be malleable.

But I mean, I think it came out pretty good.

And, yeah, so yeah, that's just..

One of the things I've been working on, and I'm going to finish that up, and I think it'd be pretty cool.

I've been getting my business stuff set up and everything too.

So feeling pretty good.

You know what I mean?

And so I actually got the business.

It's incorporated all that good stuff.

You know what I'm saying?

Like it's official now.

Create like a little promo website.

Working on a whole bunch of stuff, you know what I'm saying?

So hopefully your new year is off to a running start, you know what I'm saying?

And hopefully you are making some progress and whatever that you're working on.

But yeah, we'll get y'all back to work.

I'm going to send you all off with some traveling music.

This right here is a track from Nujibez featuring a Pony Bee.
