Just had another business idea and bought a domain. Super excited about the domain name. More to come soon.

Oh, and I have to say ChatGPT is incredible. As most have already seen or heard. It has saved me a lot of time lately. Including answering questions more succinctly than me spending time looking through search results. Sorry Bing and Google...

Ok. Fixed the url attachments for non-YouTube and non-Image links. Also fixed the YouTube embedding issue. That will be it for tonight. Going to do a gobstoppers run for my wife and then relax for a bit.

Just realized that the url posting isnt working correctly. I accounted for YouTube and images links but not plain ole urls. Will need to fix that later.

Working on branding for the new store. Starting with the logo and finding a lot of AI logo makers but not a huge fan of most of the results so far. I am liking logo.com results more than others.

Bing wallpaper for the New York City Marathon today. Testing the image embedding feature.

noobtastic

11/06/2022 2:53:15 PM

That was easy enough even though the YouTube embed is not working for some reason. Adding an image link post and embed option now. That is really the last thing for today.

noobtastic

11/06/2022 2:29:56 PM

I cant help myself. YouTube videos need to be embedded like images. Last thing for today.

11/06/2022 2:26:46 PM

Link is working. Now should I make it dynamic based on the contents, leave the full string visible, or something else? Decisions, decisions... I think I will just leave it basic for now. I would like to make YouTube videos embedded in the post like images

noobtastic

11/06/2022 2:12:28 PM

Link posted correctly. Now to get it to display on the page. Debating on making the page modular based on the content of the post or if I should just code it all into the page...

I guess it would help if the dev environment had all the right files... LOL

WTF. There is always something. Why is my dev environment post page not working now?? This is why I needed to figure out my priorities. There are always surprises to work through.

noobtastic

11/06/2022 1:52:04 PM

Ok. Confirmed the db has the field needed for the url to be posted. Next to code the field.

noobtastic

11/06/2022 1:41:54 PM

Ok. Which one of the many features do I have listed that could be a quick add to the posts? How about the ability to add an external link to a post? That shouldnt be too bad.

noobtastic

11/06/2022 12:00:54 PM

I will use the store to break up the monotony of code-code-code of the first and third priority work. The first and third will benefit from each other with new testing, structures, and some of the infrastructure changes I am developing.

noobtastic

11/06/2022 11:59:03 AM

All that to say... Top priority side-hustle will remain the one that pays. Second will be a new store that I will announce soon. Third, and final, will be the social experiment one, but at a slower pace...

noobtastic

11/06/2022 11:57:39 AM

Then I have my interest in another store. A place where I curate the items that go into the shop and can even justify getting some things myself for demoing and testing....

noobtastic

11/06/2022 11:56:45 AM

Then there is the VR focused one that will also take quite a bit of time and I think once the framework is set up could be low level of effort. Getting that framework in place is something I am interested in but this one is lower priority....

noobtastic

11/06/2022 11:54:44 AM

Another is a store that I started with a friend. Conceptually a great idea and we put a good amount of time and effort into it in a short period of time. Since then, not much... It was more of a passion for him than for me so without his engagement, I hav

11/06/2022 11:53:25 AM

So of the remaining... One is a more societal endeavor that I will ultimately need more people involved in. I dont think I really have the available bandwidth to push that one forward too quickly...

noobtastic

11/06/2022 11:52:17 AM

Each of the side hustles let me learn and grow but only one is really paying at this point. The one that pays does have some work that needs to be done but sometimes I need a break from that one to save some sense of sanity.

noobtastic

11/06/2022 11:49:23 AM

I have been really struggling with where to spend the small amount of spare time that I have. Trying to balance family, day job, and side hustles can be challenging and has weighed heavily on my mind...
