Missed Meetups, Lost Summer... .:. Walk & Talk Series

https://play.3speak.tv/embed?v=ph1102/nroage4q

It was a while... After recording this video, I checked my old posts and found my last #WalkAndTalk video... It was four and a half months ago! In the meantime, I know I promised some people who like these that I would do them, and of course, life happened, and I didn't... But here we are... With all this new 3Speak stuff mostly built up by @tibfox, I had to try it out... Testing the waters with a short personal reflection on my summer...

It was a very nice sunny day in Spain, and I had to take out my mobile phone and record a short video... It was sunny while I was filming, but it was very ugly the past few days, with heavy rains in this part of the country... Local showers created floods in some places, and I have a feeling we dodged the bullet this time... It was very close to us, and we were hit with heavy rain, but luckily it didn't last too long...

In the video, I did a short recap of my summer... Or "failed" summer... As autumn is here, I have a feeling I missed this summer completely, and not just that, I missed some gatherings that I didn't want to...

More about that and a few more things in the video...

Thank you for your time.

Broooooo YOU DID IT - I am proud of you 🤩 I am happy that your surgery went well and that you get back on the feet. And of course that you got back to sharing your stories here on 3speak brother! More Walk & Talks = better recovery, right? :P Thanks for the shoutout tihihi - always good to hear people talk positively about your work 🫠

More Walk & Talks = better recovery, right?

Exactly! More fresh air, more brain power! 😃

Btw, I heard you need some of the fresh air too... 🤔 There's the challenge for you... 😃

Good morning, @ph1102. I’m so glad to see you out and about, and I’m also pleased that you have such an outstanding team by your side—my best regards to them as well, to Jesús and to AV. I hope you’ll be able to keep wearing shorts for a long time to come.

Sending you a big hug.

Thanks for your kind words!
I'm so glad I have @jesuslnrs and @avdesing on my curation team! It would be impossible to do Ourpick without them! 💪

I hope you’ll be able to keep wearing shorts for a long time to come.

Hehehe... I doubt it will be longer than a week or so... Mornings and evenings are already too cold for shorts... 😃

Have a great rest of the week!

And it’s a real pleasure and joy for me to be here!!😃

You know I’m happy for you, and it’s great to see you in such good company. As for the shorts... the season for those is already over here.

Sending you a big hug.

It seems summer hasn’t been quite what we expected… it wasn’t for me either, very hectic, lots of nerves, stress and exhaustion. I recently had a visit from a relative of my mum’s whom I hadn’t seen for 40 years and whom I’d never even met in person. The visit didn’t quite go as we’d hoped… now I just want to rest and recharge my batteries!!! Let’s keep going!👍

0.00109127 BEE

Oh, sorry to hear that the unexpected visit turned out to be a downer... 😞
At least summer isn't over yet... and the next one will be much better... I'm sure about that!
Let's keep going, indeed! 💪

0E-8 BEE

You’ve no idea how frustrating, stressful and exhausting it was. But now it’s time to look ahead. Next summer is going to be brilliant!!

0.00101488 BEE

I don’t know what’s going on, Boss, but it feels like things are in total turmoil all over the world—or maybe I just see it that way because everything in my own life is completely upside down! You know that we don’t really have a "summer" here—it’s basically summer all year round—but things have been awful since June; time keeps passing, and I don’t see any changes. I really hope things get better, though Mercury retrograde is just about to begin 🤭

0.00108801 BEE

Ah, that Mercury... Always comes at the worst moment, bringing an even worse mood... 🙂 I'm not too much into stars, trying to look at my business... as much as situation allows me...
But it is like some dark clouds are over us recently... Hopefully, it will change, and we will be able to see clear skies... Until then, well, we should keep trying and pushing forward... Don't see any other direction that could work better for us... :)

I know it sounds corny, but the opportunity could wait behind the next corner...

Not sure what's happening, when I click on the first video, it's just a short ad, no content. Then I clicked on the link at the moment end of the posts three times, each time it jumped to your video from 4 months ago and kept processing, then finally your latest video came up the third time, but it still took a little while to load.

Tagging @tibfox as well, and fyi, I have good internet connection here

0.00102342 BEE

You were too fast to check it out... It was still encoding in the background, and I suppose because of that, all the hoops had happened...
Anyways, maybe something could be done regarding the "preparing the video" time...

Ohhh interesting - I think you just found a bug when the video you wanna watch is still processing in the background. Short after publishing the post it is not ready to play because we are encoding it in the background. Depending on the size and stuff this could take a few minutes.
I read 2 issues from your comment:

  1. That an ad is playing while the video is still processing is definetly not wanted and I just fixed that now - oopsi. The other part of your message is probably related to the autoplay that is active on 3speak.tv by default if I understood your message completely. So the video is showing "processing" and then autoplays to the next video.

  2. While it is a bit silly that the post is uploaded while the video itself is not ready we had a lot more voices complaining that publishing was not immediately. The video creators care more that their post is up and running than that the first viewers will be able to see the video. But I will take that to the team.

If I did not understand your initial comment correctly, let me know pls :)

Nice weather and it is great sometimes to touch the grass. Good luck and all the best!

0.00101357 BEE

I know you were sick (hopefully not anymore), and these walks outside help me a lot to NOT be sick... At least, I think they help... hehehehe...
Touching the grass always helps! 💪

0E-8 BEE

Lovely update, glad to hear you almost recovered now, and yes I think we can all agree that tibfox is doing an amazing job :)

Hey, man... Thanks a lot for checking out the post! Nice to see you are still around... Hopefully, we'll see you at some of the future meetups to hang out again... 🍻

I will always be around, just got a little busy, updates coming soon!
Would be very nice to see everybody maybe next HiveFest since I'm on the other side of the planet now ;)

Atleast you're getting ok now. Things are slowly getting back to nornal.

0.00101695 BEE

Indeed! I was lucky to have someone by my side to help me out when I needed... Now, it's my turn to return the favor... 🙂

0E-8 BEE

There will be more meetings, and I hope you can meet them later on. Your health is more important, so focus on that.

0.00101611 BEE

Yeah, I know the theory, and it is like you say... But it sucks to miss things.... 😃

0E-8 BEE

Yay another vid! Health is always the most important, the rest of the stuff in life mostly can wait a while. We have got a long way to go! :)

0.00099317 BEE

You are right! And thanks for motivating me to continue creating these! 🙏

Online communities are great, but meeting people in person can create a different kind of connection :)

0.00099657 BEE

It is! I would like to meet you one day... 🙂
