My first Youtube video

Today, I posted my first Youtube video. It can be found here https://www.youtube.com/user/gvgates2010. This channel will be dedicated to teaching people the basics of computer programming and website development. My first video series concentrates on teaching BASIC-256. This is an easy to learn version of the BASIC language and is designed to get students up and running with programming as quickly as possible.

I expect to upload more content in the near future. I would appreciate any feedback or any ideas people will have to contribute. Email me at gvgates@gmail.com.

Today, i celebrated my 66th birthday. I was at work and got a cake and a present as well as phone calls wishing me a happy birthday. Overall it was a quiet birthday, but at my age, that is OK.

Star Wars: The rise of Skywalker

Yesterday, I finally got to see the latest Star Wars movie: The Rise of Skywalker. It was the last of nine Star Wars movies, although I think there will be a few others sooner or later. Generally, I thought it was a pretty good movie. Very entertaining and well worth seeing.

Christmas 2019

Today was Christmas day 2019. Unfortunately, I had to stay in Bendigo as I could not afford to go anywhere this Christmas. I have had a tough year financially and just could not afford to go anywhere. For lunch, I attended a Community lunch at lake Weeroona in Bendigo. It was a nice meal even though i hardly knew anybody there. It was generally an OK day though.

I finally get my car back on the road

Today, i finally got my car back on the road. About a month ago, the police pulled me over and fined me because my car was unregistered. I thought I had paid my registration online but the payment did not go through. In order to get the car registered again, I had to get a roadworthy on it but unfortunately the car did not pass the roadworthy and so I needed to get some repairs done. After fixing that all up, I finally got the car re-registered today with new number plates. So I am now legally back on the road with a car that runs a whole lot better. Good stuff.

Ford vs Ferrari

This evening my church held a film and social night at the local cinema. We saw the movie "Ford vs Ferrari". It tells of the rivalry between Ford and Ferrari in the Le Mans race in the late 1960's. It starred Christian Bale and Matt Damon. It was a very good movie, well worth seeing...
