Keeping up with posting daily #ulog is getting more and more challenging. Today, I went to train station on my own as my colleague (and neighbor) is on a night shift for the World Cup so he works from home. On Wednesday, I went registering a car that my aunt gave us last year so that my wife can have a car to go around while I'm using the car to get to the train station in the morning. But we are planning to sell it out sooner or later.

The new witness and seed nodes are still running fine. No real update on this side. I'm still producing 1 block every 24 hours.
Team Vietnam
I'm still actively working with the Team Vietnam community I setup.
We've now reached 85 members and our community bot 
This new Steem Power level means that our Vietnamese author who produce quality content (regularly checked) can get an upvote of $0.06 - $0.08 STU without the need of delegating any SP to the bot. Delegating some SP to the bot will obviously lead to higher upvote values which at the current time is $0.209 STU for the highest delegator.
That's it for the Witness update. Back to other stuffs that happened today.

As mentioned above, I was back in the office today. I was supposed to have two weeks of normal working hours but things have changed. Optus, a telecom company, that is sharing the broadcast rights to the World Cup (on different matches than SBS) have had technical issues very early in the season. This has caused many complaints from the users. But SBS saves the day and offered to dual broadcasts Optus' matches on our own network so that in case of another failure, Optus' users have a backup plan. As a result of this, we need more people, including developers, on the night shifts to cover all the matches. So I will be back on Sunday, luckily, this week, the shifts hours are more stable so I don't have to juggle between different times and my body clock can adjust.
There was a technical issue that prevented us from displaying advertising prerolls videos in front of the live streams. This has been fixed today to the enjoyment of the ad sales team. I know some of you will be crying out because no one really likes advertising.
But you know what? Advertisers are paying for your free access to the content!
Every piece of content SBS On Demand is offering you for free is actually not free. It's free for you, but the company has to negotiate contract and prices for the rights to broadcast and make it available in digital format. That costs a lot of money. Unlike ABC, we only get partial funding from the Government, for the rest, we have to find it through advertising. There are obviously other expenses for running and managing such a service.
I had to do some overtime today to get the fix deployed. On my way back home, I needed to change train at Gosford but I did a mistake... I got on the right train but on the wrong carriage... my local train station has a short platform and you can only access it from the back four carriages but I went on one of the front four! 😱So I had to watch the train go away from the station through the door's window. Luckily, my wife now has her own car, so I called her for a pickup three stations farther (because the next two are also short ones). Without a pickup, I would be home one hour later, waiting in the cold night.

| Dtube Community Support | This project by  allows users to run their own IPFS node and pin videos in order to cache them for longer. Dtube has the tendency of deleting non-popular video after few days only. I helped Dockerizing the project for an easier deployment on almost any platform. I've also contributed by running two nodes, one in Australia and one in Canada to cache #teamaustralia and #teamnz videos. | Dockerizing Dtube Community Support |

When I started Steemulant Bot for the Vietnamese community, I didn't know the existence of DiscoSteem Bot and wanted something written in NodeJS. I've ended up continuing my own project as it contains code and logic for personal use and for the Vietnamese community. But I've decided to share some useful features that can benefit the users of DiscoSteem Bot and will continue to add more functionalities as I go. | Dockerizing DiscoSteem Bot |
