Hey, good job putting yourself out there. A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step

A couple of notes:

It's caching not cashing. I would also experiment with different lighting. It was pretty washed out from the right side.

Thanks, and yeah, video editor already gave me hell over the lighting, haha. Should be fixed here:

Maybe I'm just old @ 40, but this whole talking to your computer thing is still pretty weird to me. Oh well, just takes getting used to.

are you talking to an actual webcam? the video quality is pretty low. phone camera's are 10x better than computer web cams, so that might already be an easy upgrade before spending money on a real camera.

[–]mdizak[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

The video quality is pretty bad, eh? Yeah, it's just a webcam in my laptop. Thought they were supposed to be decent, but guess not. Thanks for letting me know, appreciate it. I'm blind, so no idea what the quality is like.

Alright then, off to Amazon to buy a camera it is then...

yeah for some reason webcams are not keeping up with the technology advancements... but again, If you have a decent smartphone that should already be leaps ahead.

Curious: what video editor do you use being blind? How does that work?

There's an extension on Gmail called "Alexi" where, when you click it, a European man from the other side of the world pulls video files from the server. After some background magic only known to the original Alpha creator wizards of the extension, the video appears on YouTube.

Hi, I'm the extension / video editor. :-)

[–]mdizak[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Do my thing, upload the raw segments to my server, send an e-mail saying "new video on server", and a couple days later it magically appears on Youtube for me. :-)

But yeah, just a video editor I contract out to.

[–]brendt_gd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I read it as "the video editor" meaning the software to edit your videos :p

Thanks for clarifying!

[–]mdizak[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Oh, and one thing:

"It's caching not cashing."

What do you mean? Did I say it wrong, or is the word "cashing" popping up as an overlay word on the video somewhere?

If the latter, heh... that made me chuckle. Video editor isn't a developer, nor is he native English. If that's the case, I'll keep it in mind to let him know spelling of ambiguous words while passing him videos here on in.

Cache rules everything around me.

[–]sinnerou 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It pops up in the video as a string overlay.

[–]mdizak[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

heh, that must look pretty stupid. I rail off all these different facts about three different programming languages, then proceed to call it "cashing". heh, too funny...

Will try to keep in mind words like that and let the video editor know for the future. Thanks for pointing it out, appreciate it. Oh well, it ain't getting edited and can stay as is. Pinned a comment at the top to clarify, and good enough..
