For example, Patreon supporters get special demarcations on the Discord server. It’s not exactly a central clearinghouse for all things me, but it might be the closest thing to that concept.įacebook, Instagram, LinkedIn - I try to keep up, but they’re not as well kept as Twitter.ĭiscord - I’m not really “good” at Discord, but it’s an online forum sort of software, and it ties into many other online tools. Twitter - I’m probably most active here, when it comes to social media. I expect I’ll use it a lot more in the next 90 days! If you’re looking for videos of me being goofy, or vlogging, or trying some new idea: this is where it will happen. OTHER YouTube Channel - this is my no-rules video channel. I try to keep my main channel Linux-centric. Sometimes there will be other videos, but not often. Main YouTube Channel - this is where my Linux training goes. It includes the bulk of my links, but isn’t very descriptive itself. this is sort of my online business card. You certainly don’t need to visit all my online haunts - but if you’re curious about the places I’m placed, along with the thinks I think, here’s a quick breakdown: So here’s a list of links, but with a little blurb about each one. It’s easy to hand off my “landing page” URL, which contains most of the links to where my stuff and I hang out, but a list of links alone isn’t really helpful. (See? It’s already working, LOL!) The Internet is a Big Place, Where ARE You These Days? But I don’t really have time for that now. So while it seems like self-abuse, this 90 day challenge I expect to be good in the short term, and the long term. The quality is never improved by overthinking and hesitating to start. And the funny thing is, the concern about my content being good enough is always just a mean trick my brain plays. I can’t take the time to make everything “perfect” when my deadline is always TODAY. It seems a bit backward, but the need to get a video recorded, edited, and posted every single day is surprisingly helpful. So, I’m giving my brain the firehose treatment. Back when I was creating videos for CBT Nuggets, I had a real difficult time with it. I mean, don’t they deserve that? It’s a weird quirk of my brain that I’d sorta forgotten about. Now that people are choosing to invest actual money to support me, it seems that I should provide the absolute, very best content. The thing is, ever since I started my Patreon page, and people started signing up as patrons to support me - it’s sent my perfectionism/procrastination issue into overdrive. You can follow along at if you desire, but it probably begs the question: WHY? I know, right? If you follow me online, you probably saw that I started a 90 day challenge, where I need to create and post a video every day through the end of the year.
