What I Did Today: March 3, 2018
🕑 Added 2018-03-04 06:00:11 +0000 UTC Edited, rendered, and uploaded one video dealing with Clearview Fatshark module.YouTube metadata for that video, and one more dealing with the Clearview Fatshark module (they will release on March 4 and March 6). The Metadata is things like the title, description, tags, and thumbnail. This is a more time-consuming part of the process than you might think.
Optimizing the title, tags, and description to hit the right keywords takes a lot of research. For example, which is better: "Clearview Fatshark Module", "Clearview Fatshark Receiver Module", "Clearview Receiver Module for Fatshark," etc... This was particularly challenging for the Betaflight filters video, since "Kalman" filter was a VERY HOT keyword, but the filter is not actually a Kalman filter, and I want the title to be technically accurate. I settled on a technique that I saw in somebody else's title, calling it "(not) Kalman". Stealing other people's ideas is fair play :-)
Created the test reports for the Thunderpower Adrenaline and Tattu R-Line packs. They are PDF'ed and sitting on my hard drive right now. I will release them to the GoFundMe donors first, as promised, and then on the channel about the middle of this week.
Posted a giveaway of an ISDT charger to Patreon.
Did a bunch of behind-the-scenes work on the Ultimate FPV Shopping list. Added a few new items such as the DALRC Engine 4-in-1 ESC and the Aikon AK32, which is one of the only 6S-capable, BLHeli_S, Dshot1200 4-in-1 ESCs I know of. Need to get Crossfire on there ASAP but haven't gotten to it yet.
Issa asked me if today was going to be a "light day," and I said, "I don't have light days any more. Before, my to-do list was whatever my boss assigned me. Now, my to-do list is literally everything I can think of."
PS: before you guys get worried I am going to burn out, I also played video games with Dylan; went on a walk with Issa, Dylan, and the dogs; played make-believe games with Dylan; and watched an episode of Step Up: High Water with Issa.

I was worried about burn out for you. Glad you’re getting some personal time in! As I said before, this is intense! I like it but really would be happy with weekly overview.
maybe a weekly summary?
Hey Joshua, have you ever considered changing your daily emails to weekly? "What I did this week". If it's taking too much time to write up daily updates to us, I bet we'd find equal value in more succinct weekly updates.
as long as your LiFe are within .3v of each other it's balanced (bahahah)
life is a balance... with balance we rarely burn out.
Really appreciate the time/effort here considering the breadth and depth of topic coverage. The expectation of a daily log would be an outsize ask, and the quality of your consistently good content obviates the need for it. Was nice to get a glimpse of how you organize your daily schedule. Thanks for your effort.
It's been so cold and windy I finished my 250 flew it for 2 minutes then chickened out cause rock quarry is full of water, just wanted to fly the edges of it . Oh well
love how you made family time around you busy work lol respect
G'Day mate, you certainly don't need to update us as we can see how much effort and time you put in. Appreciate it greatly
Hi, yes ‘what I did Today’ emails are fun and I’m envy that you are able to organize your time that well working from your home. But looking at the amount of your work during one day I think you deserve to play with your dogs instead of spending precious time on prooving us that you are doing something. Quality of your videos shows how much time you are spending and for sure it is more that most of us spends in ‘normal’ jobs. Keep up good work 😁. Ps. I think Pawel Spychalski used (not) Kallman frase first and I agree that it is good name, as still many people talk about not existing latest bf kallman filters. Cheers
These updates have been fun. Glad you are getting your family time in too. When you do need a break know that it’s ok to take a day off. I give you my permission as the small part of your boss that I am. :-)

BTW, I don't want to burn you guys out getting too many emails from me every day so this will be my last "What I Did Today" update for a little while but hopefully this gives you an idea how I spent my time WORKING FOR YOU (and the rest of the Internet LOL).
