About Me

Building a Client Support Interaction That Fosters Advocacy

Grab the document hash from the long string that sits between "/d/" and "/view" in the omnibox. Paste it at the end of "https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=". That tiny tweak becomes a direct-feed URL that leapfrogs the player page and drops straight into the native video, ready for Slack or any embed field that digests HTTPS video.

Locate the Exact Video File in Drive’s Search Bar
Hit the search box, type mime:video owner:me, and press Enter–every clip you fathered appears on cue. Add before:2024-04-01 to prune uploads earlier than spring, or larger:50M to surface files heavier than 50 MB. If the grid is crowded, press Cmd+F and inject the exact stub; Chrome jumps to the thumbnail within a heartbeat. Sort by "Last modified" to bubble fresh clips to the top, then flip to list view to read durations without mouse-over. For mobile, open the app, pull down, tap the filter icon, choose "Movies" under file type, and key a unique keyword from the title–use quotes to nail the phrase and banish near-matches.

Plan the outing during your circadian lull—14:00–16:00 for most adults. Stanford’s sleep lab reports that daylight plus mild fatigue doubles theta-wave amplitude, the signature of remote-association tests. Return indoors, perch, and free-write for 12 min: you’ll harvest twice the usable ideas compared to morning desk time, scored by independent coders blind to condition.

Check load speed: a 30 kB file delivered from a North-American IP hits 120 ms; anything above 200 kB triggers security filters and throttles rendering. Scrub metadata with Squoosh before upload to stay under that limit.

Desktop bulk fix: drop yesterday’s camera roll into Google Drive share link to direct link, choose "Prefix → EXIF date taken → YYYY-MM-DD", hit Start; half-a-minute later the folder is chronologically pristine, ready for cloud sync.

Launch all frames in LR → pick the one showing the steepest chromatic slope from ground to sky-low
Drag the color picker in twelve equidistant points along that ramp; save the collection as .ASE
Inject the .ASE into Adobe Color; set logic to "Manual" and lock the two extreme samples—usually #FF4B2B and #00296B
Allow the wheel spawn 3 intermediary swatches; keep only values whose ΔE to the originals dips beneath 3.0 for chromatic glide


Mute each swatch 15 %; assign them to the 5-slot gradient mesh in Illustrator to build a daybreak bridge ramp
Inject hex codes into Procreate Palette; test on a 3000×4000 px canvas at hi-res—wash a 15-layer soft-light veil; note which codes crash under L*40 and boost them +7
Package the final 5-color set as deep-color PNG; pass it through WCAG 2.2 to guarantee lum gap ≥ 4.5:1 against paper white

Archive the approved palette under a hex-tag (e.g., "AM06") so you can yank it instantly inside PS’s "Window ▸ Swatches ▸ Import" without endless drag.

Bounce the final loop as eight-bar multi-track: naked birds, ivory hits, bass bed, grain cloud. Drop them into a fresh DAW at the grid; pitch MIDI micro-tonal nudge to slot minor or major keys without tempo scars.

Assemble a 3-folder dashboard for instant project switching
Create three pinned folders inside My Drive: !Active, @Support, #Archive. Each name starts with a emoji that guarantees alphabetical pinning to the apex of every view–any screen you open.

Set target="_blank" so that the supporter stays on your page while the checkout opens. Tag rel="nofollow noopener" to block the popup from gaining window.opener permissions. Keep the GIF hot-linked; its CDN push it with 99.9 % availability and no bandwidth cost to you.

Morph the Default Restriction to "Public" Viewer Rights
LinkedIn: add a one-sentence teaser just ahead of the link—the feed treats it like uploaded footage and organic impressions spike.
Reddit: classic view still reveals the opening thumbnail; stick t=0s if you need the title slide.


Fire up the file, pause on the target frame, read the precise timestamp from the player.
Right-click → "Copy video URL at current time" → grab the link → paste it into the address bar → append &t= plus the stamp.
Check via an incognito tab; when it jumps to the exact moment, the thumbnail is locked and good to ship.

Telegram and Discord skip custom timestamps; they default to the 1.5 s mark. Upload a 640×360 jpeg named poster.jpg into the same folder and reload the page—both apps will use the custom image instead.

Next, smack the "Restricted" button inside the cloud pane: click Share → Link access → Anyone → Viewer. This rotates the permission bit in under a heartbeat and unlocks the file to the public internet without begging viewers to request access. The switch propagates globally within 15 seconds, so you can eyeball the link in an private tab ASAP.

Audit every week: export Slack escalation dump, tag tickets >15 minutes, add skipped snippet, adjust hash-Google Drive share link to direct link. Cycle costs 12 min weekly and maintains the number below the threshold with zero headcount increase.
