I mean, a 10 9876543 two, one.

And your live.

Wait, no, it's me.

I'm like you're like, No, I'm live.

I'm you.

You're me.

Were we?

I don't know.

Whatever.

Okay.

Hello.

Good afternoon.

Happy.

20 22,000 and 20 which does not in any way whatsoever remotely describe my vision, which is about 28,000.

I cannot see anything.

This is really how I should live stream without my glasses.

They cannot see a thing at all.

I am taking swimming lessons.

I do know how to swim, but I know why I'm bringing this up first.

But, uh, I wanted Thio exercise Maury do extras Quite a veteran.

The marathon last year, But I would like to develop some more full body fitness.

And I thought swimming might be a good thing for me to try.

Um, both of my kids were very good swimmers, and I noticed they could swim much better than I again.

So I went to sign them up for swim lessons, and I signed myself up for swim lessons.

Their stage four and six.

I am in level three.

Um, why was I talking about this.

Oh, because I didn't think my glasses off and I can't see anybody in the class.

I can't see the teacher putting on goggles.

It's very awkward.

And I actually like I discovered I the teacher, thought I was left handed, which I have right handed because I was breathing in the wrong direction.

So much to talk about with swimming lessons.

But that is not really what I'm here to talk about today.

I am here on the coding train in 2020 in 2020 to do a lot of new tutorials and coding challenges and fun stuff and hopefully upgrade the systems and various things with which I engage with the community here.

Just quick.

Shoutout thio coding guard with C J.

Who is in the chat.

I was watching CJ Stream this morning, and he has some really incredible systems that he's built to interact with the community and manage content, which is really inspiring and wonderful encourage you.

Thio.

Check that out if you haven't Um, um, somebody post CJ's a link to Sirius Channel in the chat if you could, um, and the reason why I'm also mentioning this is because one of the big things on my list of topics today is talk about the new morning train discord.

And, uh, a lot of what I'm doing with the discord has been modeled from coding gardens, discord, which is a quite vibrant growing, if you will community.

So, um, I wanted to show the discord and talk about the discord in a moment, but I have one other random non sequitur.

I have two other well, once not a random non sequitur begin.

It is thes sponsor of today's Lifestream.

What's wrong, button?

Come back here.

Uh, Dash Lane s o.

I will talk a little bit more about Dash lane during the intermission of the Lifestream, but you can check out dash lane at nationally dot com slash coding.

Train is a password manager.

I can't live in this world without a password manager.

And if you don't have one, you can get a 30 day free trial.

Did Ashley in premium just by going to that link and also a discount if you choose to purchase, bring him.

Okay.

Um, So the other thing that I wanted to mention, uh, bring up is I felt like I was gonna try to, like, spontaneously Segway into this organically, which is what I did with the swimming thing, which I did not intend to talk about.

But I just wanted to mention something new that I'm also doing in 2020.

Let's see if I go to money Pause Rescue as I am fostering a dog and I hope to foster more dogs.

Currently, let's adopt with, uh, this is not a sponsor.

There's no official relationship here between Oh, you can't see my laptop.

Here we go.

Uh, um, Hollis was willing.

Says I can go and be TB suggests I can get prescription swimming guy.

I know.

Is it worth it?

I mean, maybe I should I don't know how expensive that is, but I will consider that I love seeing all the code and garden emojis in the in the chatter wishers away like discord.

I'm enjoying how you could kind of share some of the emojis across different servers.

But I'm off.

I'm off track.

I'm already I'm off track up the off track.

I've always off track.

That's what the coding dream does.

It veers off track and I am off the off track which is I get off.

Off, off, Off track.

We're really we know where everything is lost.

We're in big trouble there.

Um, So, uh, so I wanted to just mention I don't know if you're in the New York City area.

If you're thinking about adopting a dog or fostering a dog.

The dog that I'm far string right now is Rover.

There is.

Ah, you could recognize Rover from you go to get the cabana set.

Not really a set.

It's actually a very small guarded where I live in Brooklyn.

That's Rover.

He is nine months old.

We think that's what Muddy Paws has age put his age at.

And he was found tied to a tree and rescued by money in Kentucky and brought to New York.

Grandpa, um and so, um, and he's currently living at, uh, with me and my family.

But on Saturday, I don't know if the news here calendar um, probably under calendar.

If you want to meet Rover, you can go to their adoption event, which is this one?

No, this one adoption event pre scheduled these air, I guess he's at the pre scheduled meetings and a walk up another dog there.

Okay.

I just wanted to mention that I five hopefully I'm going to continue to foster more dogs.

Don't know if I'm ready for the full commitment of I have two cats.

As you know, you could follow them on Instagram at Mango and Goose.

It's just that I have a platform now.

It's grown over the years.

It's kind of exciting and fun.

And I could, like, promote my random weird stuff just and people will watch it.

Listen, I don't know what it's a little bit weird, but that's what I will get to the coding stuff and all the things that you're actually here for.

Um um, Jordan says I missed the train.

Check it.

Check it.

Check it.

You got to do, By the way, I'm wearing a new shirt.

Pineapple shirt.

I'm wearing a sweater because it's winter, but it's already the temperature just gives going up and up in this room as I stream.

So I'm sure this sweater will come up eventually.

Uh, Cassandra says thanks for fostering a dog.

Thank you for writing.

Thank you for fostering a dog.

Um, and there we go.

I I woke up.

I wake up now.

At this morning, I woke up at 5:45 a.m. Took Rover on a walk at 6 a.m. Which I would, you know, I like up early anyway because I got kids.

I gotta go to school.

I got stuff to do.

Um, but there's something about it's dark out.

It's New York City.

There's nobody.

There's, It's very empty on the street.

I have to say I feel so like the kind of corny but alive and awake by taking this is a very large dog, which it's a little bit tricky to handle.

I don't have a lot of experience that Muddy Paws has been very kind to give us tips, and I were trying to train him.

And, you know, you had also issues to start because he had been living outside, you know, like what it means to go on a walk.

But anyway, I could talk about this forever.

I'm gonna I'm gonna stop now, as Frog says, Let's start coding.

I would just say it's not so likely that I'm gonna start coding anytime in the next few minutes, but I will get to it, hopefully by two o'clock.

We'll be here for a couple hours today.

Um all right, So what were some of the other things?

All right, let's get to the big news.

Big news.

I am revamping and re launching a lot of things related to the kind of community interaction membership supporter stuff.

So I can't because I'm gonna talk about both of those things together.

Let me just pull up the discord because that's really where it's all happening.

So this is the coding train.

A discord server.

I am a complete and total discord.

Nube, as the boomers would say.

Um, wait, this is nothing.

I must catch this Pokemon for a second.

We're going to catch it.

News we got to catch up on caught it.

I wonder what it is.

I'm just gonna be doing this because that camera doesn't shut off as much of a button depress.

I God, I need a button to press every 30 minutes.

This might be a little bit more often than every 30 minutes.

I think I'm gonna have to put that away, Have a problem.

I have a problem.

Um, I know it's 2020 and I am holding a pokey ball, plus catching a Pokemon.

A booking mongo.

Tether to my and I am a 46 year old human being on this planet.

Doing that, huh?

Okay.

Gotta catch them all.

Um, I do need to go to the barber shop.

That's not what Lucas said.

He said, nice beard, but, I mean, I just I don't like doing it, Okay?

Discord.

So I'm totally new to discord.

Previously there were there were two things that existed previously.

There was an unofficial discord, which is what you're actually seeing here, which was set up and maintain by Nola.

12222 some number twos by their user name.

I also ran a slack channel, which was a private slack channel for YouTube members and patrons.

And sometimes I would invite various other people there if they were contributors or collaborators in some particular way to the coating terrain or related things.

I don't the 2020 we have.

I have decided well, along with a lot of people's help to consolidate these two things.

So there is no longer a slack channel for the coding drain.

It still exists, and somebody could post there, and I probably get a notification somewhere, but I am deprecating that in lieu of this discord So this was a existing discord.

A lot of you may be watching are already members were members.

We redesigned it a bit.

Ah, lot of help from side the coding train community manager who is a picture in the top, right up there under the conductor role, as well as various discord, experts and moderators, notably Coby L and Noah and then a lot of other people who are there under station manager, which is the moderator, because I'm trying.

But I spent a wage much time on a Wikipedia page called like a list of railway occupations.

Try to figure out how to name figs.

I really should go with Garden thing.

It's so and, you know, you got plans that buds and see all that is great.

This train stuff is very confusing.

I had the rainbow.

The rainbow was a good start.

I'm gonna go with colors.

So many options there.

Um, So, um, this is now publicly join herbal.

Uh, please.

There's a link in this video's description already underneath a couple things, maybe, but if one of you who is a moderator could post the link to the invite in the chat.

Right now, um, you can join, um and so I you know, there's a lot of stuff to figure out in terms of how this is going toe work of what I would ask of you.

And this is an ongoing working document I would say is, please read the when you join Read the welcome channel.

So the welcome channel and thank you.

I'm glad constantly referencing coding garden today, but thank you to C.

J in the coding garden who has a wonderful welcome channel of which you took some inspiration from to design this.

So this has a little bit of guy to what the different channels are.

Um, I think the thing to highlight here is that if you're looking for coding help, this is now a place in addition to lots of other places.

Previously, if anybody ever emailed me or tweeted at me, I would usually say go to the processing discourse, which is a forum online.

And if you have pea five or processing questions, that's really your best bet.

So I still would say go to the process discourse for general questions in discussion.

It's a have official place to get help, but I also now have these discord channels.

And there are some things here that come up on this Channel five really probably related to get related to machine learning related to know J.

S, um, that you could also ask here.

So try to use these categories.

Try to, um, you know, there's a nice community of people answering questions there.

I don't know.

I've been very active in it like today and yesterday, because I'm on break now from N Y u.

That goes back into session.

I'll probably disappear for the large part, but will be checking in and participating.

There is also you can't see it, but there it let's see.

What else should I Ah, highly, Um uh oh, if you've ever wanted to get a notification for me when I'm thinking about what I might live stream, I will do hope to get a regular schedule going.

I think I might switch to Thursday's this semester once I get the sort of rhythm of things going.
