Husband, Father ❤️: cool tech, big dreams, teamwork. 😠: red tape, rigidity, rudeness. @Oracle. All views my own.

@dubyte It’s very hard, but you have to have a routine and follow it. Creativity can’t be forced but you can always fall back on routine. When you show up consistently, creativity has a vehicle.

@ianhanomansing We had a phone dedicated to streaming CBC that we carried around the house with us. Your work is appreciated.

@codywanner Almost always

@phil_eaton The ES API is, unfortunately, one of those examples of a terrible API that folks are forced to live with just because the product itself is so good. What’s worse, most libraries don’t do more than pass the buck on to the user instead of abstracting away the pain.

@phil_eaton Sorry to hear you broke your ankle! I hope you heal quickly!

[Iain Lowe 🇨🇦 @realilowe]

@phil_eaton 😆 either that or building an overly-complex floppy disk reader out of discrete electronic components.... 🤔

[Iain Lowe 🇨🇦 @realilowe]

@phil_eaton One of my main objections to EJB was all the “magic” involved. There’s a kind of reflection/indirection that makes you lose sight of what’s going on. Here’s a good article from Joel Spolsky https://t.co/1DKVzPig85

@jessedriftwood1 Yeah, your videos are too long but your tweets really hit the spot! 😂

"Remote for now" is a good way to not hire great people.

@Aaron_Derfel Stay safe! Thank you for your work!

[Iain Lowe 🇨🇦 @realilowe]

@codywanner I mean when you get a speaking gig or consulting contract are you able to track which videos helped to get it? The AdSense income is low enough, but you prolly generate “secondary” income from a different ranking.

[Iain Lowe 🇨🇦 @realilowe]

@codywanner Do you have any way of measuring which videos translated into secondary income for you?

[Iain Lowe 🇨🇦 @realilowe]

@codywanner A) whaaaaaaat?!?!?

[Iain Lowe 🇨🇦 @realilowe]

@codywanner I think YT knows I click on your videos. There was a time when my feed had a lot of vlogs in it. Now it’s basically just you. I would say I get 1/3 to 1/2 of your vids in my feed.

[Iain Lowe 🇨🇦 @realilowe]

@Aaron_Derfel Definitely thankful for all your hard work. Happy Thanksgiving, Aaron!! 🙏 🦃 🍁 🎃

@ryanfromDetroit @codywanner @SonyAlpha @iz_harris Yeah, and the AF is still basically beast mode even compared to “modern” offerings.

[Iain Lowe 🇨🇦 @realilowe]

@ryanfromDetroit @codywanner @SonyAlpha @iz_harris Yup. Love my A6500

@omg_its_derek @codywanner @SonyAlpha @iz_harris Don’t beat yourself up! Filmmaking is about story telling, not camera tricks. But this shot would have required a person manually pulling focus (like Cody used to do) to make it work so smoothly before. Shot angles that weren’t possible open up.
