Real Time Web Site Visitor Tracking with Sound Alert

I stumbled across a free download that makes PC desktops look better and easier to use.

It came packaged with VistaStartMenu, Yahoo Widgets and Zune Desktop Theme.

I was thrilled to discover that one of the Yahoo Widgets can display Google Adsense earnings in real time without logging in. This saved me a lot of hassle as I have the obsession of checking my Adsense earnings almost every hour.

Then I thought to myself, what about web stats? Is there a Yahoo Widget that can display website statistics in real time?

I couldn't find one in Yahoo Widgets, but since I know the posibility of such widgets exist, I searched Netvibes' widgets.

There is a web analysis widget that closely match what I want. It tracks and displays website vistors in real time based on Clicky Web Analytics service. I placed the code in my website pages and the numbers started counting in the widget in real time. No need to refresh the page.

Again I was not fully satisfied. I wanted it to make a sound when the numbers change, so I don't have to keep tracking website visitors visually (I'm also obsessed with website traffic stats). So I searched again.

Clicky claims to be a better web analytics than Google Analytics. Indeed it's true. It has a RSS feed for the real time stats. So now all I have to do is find a desktop RSS reader that generates a sound alert whenver there is a new feed.

This RSS reader is Klipfolio. Just configure Klipfolio to read Clicky Website Statistics RSS feed every 5 minutes and set the alert sound.

Now I can hear my website traffic, as though people are really walking into my office. Then at a glance at my Klipfolio dashboard, I can see which country my visitors are coming from and how they arrived at my site.

Klipfolio is free, but the RSS feature of Clicky is free for only 30 days.

Thanks for watching! :)

PS:
This is the best part, I love the SPY feature in Clicky which you can watch the paths of your website visitors as they click through your pages. Now I'm obsessed with this. Go try Clicky now. It's exciting!

Macbook Air M1 Case

I bought a transparent case for my MacBook Air M1 . It came with a free screen protector, a keyboard cover, and some rubber plugs to cover the ports. Check it out! https://youtu.be/d-wALSd3nn8 I didn't expect the rubber plugs. It was a nice surprise. The case fits snuggly, with access to all the ports. The keyboard cover is almost invisible to the eye. I have no intention to use the screen protector. Why? I need to see the true color of the display for my YouTube videos. ~ Adrian Lee @Adrian Video Image The video was recorded on iPhone 12 Pro Max with Filmic Pro app in 4K 60fps and edited with Capcut.

Sony Vegas Pro 8 Tutorial - Multicamera Editing

Sony Vegas Pro 8 makes it easier to edit videos from different cameras right from the timeline. You can capture and edit video for a single scene from 2 or more cameras or for a single scene shot a few times with one camera. Here is a tutorial of a Multicamera Edit of a drama I shot. The drama was acted out four times to the public and being a non-profit organization, the client have budget only for one videographer. For each of the 4 acts, the camcorder (Sony HDR-FX7 High Definition Camcorder) was placed at 4 different positions and shot in various angles. Multicamera edit is accomplished in only 8 steps with the Sony Vegas Pro 8. Step #1: Capture Multicamera Video Clips Use the normal Sony Vegas Video Capture function to capture recordings from each camera. Give each capture filename a unique name. Enable scene detection before capturing so that each segment is captured as a separate clip. Step #2 : Layout Video Clips on Timeline Drag and drop video clips over each other on the...

FCPX - The storage device "Macintosh HD" is almost full

The message "The storage device Macintosh HD is almost full" appeared when I was editing a video with Final Cut Pro X on my new Apple Macbook Air M1. Final Cut Pro Taking up Too Much Space My Macbook Air M1 had only 256GB of storage onboard. My raw footage was only about 9GB. The biggest file was the FCPX project files itself at about 140GB! How did 9GB become 140GB? There is not enough disk space for my Final Cut Pro. Why Is Final Cut Pro Taking up So Much Storage Final Cut Pro renders files in high-quality media so that we can playback our edits smoothly direct from the timeline. It creates multiple HUGE high-quality files of our footage in the background. It is a good thing, so as to maintain high-quality final edited video, BUT not a good thing for a laptop with only 256GB. How to Clear Disk Space on Final Cut Pro The question is how to delete the rendered files in FCPX? 1. Select the library in FCPX... 2. Go to Files > Delete Generated L...
