Live Support every Friday
Jean Lalonde > 2021-10-21 08:47
With my colleague Joe Glines and some other productivity tool developers, we host a 90 minutes live support session every Friday at 15:00 UTC (3h00 PM Universal Time).
Ask questions about Quick Access Popup, AutoHotkey (used to develop QAP) or the tools from other collaborators. You can ask questions live or using the chat.
You can register for these Zoom webinars at this address and ask your question live or with the chat tool:
https://the-Automator.com/Fridays
You can also attend without registration on Joe Gline's YouTube channel and ask questions on the chat:

Cool initiative, kudos!
But here in the dark woods of Scandinavia we are at UTC+1 (or +2 depending on daylight saving time)......
I do have some questions regarding QAP, AHK and keyboard timings when running full screen RDP sessions, I'll save them for a rainy day!

*BUMP*
@Jean, you should make this a sticky!
Although Joe Glines and Jean does some deep dives into AHK, I highly recommend this chat. Small group/participants, and you can ask questions about QAP then and there!

Hi!
Here is my attempt at some feedback and constructive criticism after watching several of the videos.
While the streams might be somewhat scripted (or you have some talking points), it all seems pretty random and spur of the moment.
There are some clicking here and there to get things running, it is not at thread or a theme, so it makes it difficult for someone like me (without a black belt in ahk) to keep up or see the benefit.
The one live stream, where I actually had it booked in my calendar, you talked about automation with INTERNET EXPLORER!!
This is very bad, IE with the Trident engine is a pile of shite, and when Joe said in the chat that IE was easy to automate, you clearly miss the point.
IE should be buried below a slab of concrete.
I don't need tips on how to automate IE with ahk, I'm never gonna use IE again, ever.....and that includes the "IE mode" in Edge.
(And everyone else should burn IE at the stake)
So my wishes for these streams, because we obviously watch two ahk black belts (and can learn a lot from you guys) are:
- Structured streams with a theme, what is the "problem of the day".
- Security, focus on how to do stuff with ahk in a secure way, maybe as a theme, or as a series. (and never ever promote IE, ever again! )
- Decide if a particular stream is about QAP with techniques and/or companion tools, or ahk in general.
Just my $0.02.
I'm not here to crap on what you do in the stream, or be an entitled arse.
You both do this free of charge, and available for all of us to learn from.
Much kudos to both of you for that free service, and I do appreciate it.
Regards,

Hi Joe,
I appreciate your feedback. I think it is a matter of expectations. These are "live" sessions aimed at answering questions or discussing questions *for those who can attend live*. These sessions are recorded in case some would like to see them again. But I can agree that these recordings are not always of great interest for those who were not involved in the live session.
We make other videos that correspond more to what you describe (demo, tutorials, etc.). I have already posted several in the section Tutorials, tips and tricks of the forum.

It's so good to have it every Friday, I hope it's still going on.
