Couldn’t upload last night

I went to upload five episodes last night to YouTube but was unable to.

One of the nice developments in technology since the show was created is that if I am having problems on the Internet I can go to Twitter and find out whether it was just me.

So instead I went to bed. Today’s episode will be from home because I forgot to put my camera back in my bag after I took it out to (ostensibly) upload the episodes. Actually, I transfer them to the external drive and upload them from there, but rather than skip the upload step and move on to the following step (“put camera back in bag before you forget, dumbass”), I just stopped the algorithm and fell asleep.

This brings me to another question that I am getting: What happened to the show?

Nothing has happened to the show. It’s just inconvenient to upload it every day from home. I have time on the weekends, so it may be that I upload a week’s worth of episodes at a time. That’s not very fun, though, and it sort of defeats the purpose of having a daily show. I might as well be Secret Asian Man and only publish on Sundays.

So I have another idea: I can take the backup drive and bring it to the office. Then I can transfer the episodes to it and upload them to YouTube from there. I am assuming that I can upload from here, but I guess I will find out Monday. (At IDT I could not upload anything to anywhere. They make it hard to do anything technical there.) Once a month I can bring it home and synchronize the drives, just as I do now. Or I can stop in with the one from home before I play hockey, because I am literally a mile from Ice Oasis these days. Why even live in San Jose now that work and hockey are in the same neighborhood?

So tonight I should upload (now) six episodes, and then things should actually be uploaded more quickly than before. We’ll see. Otherwise I’d just go to a weekly show because my life is otherwise quite boring these days, but I really don’t want to do that because, at this point, it’s a matter of seeing how high I can get the episode count to go. In the meantime, I will continue to further the show’s mission, which is “What if Seinfeld weren’t funny?”
