year this quarter so I I agree with this year this quarter so I I agree with this year this quarter so I I agree with you the thing I was thinking about this you the thing I was thinking about this you the thing I was thinking about this week was not cold calling but doing a week was not cold calling but doing a week was not cold calling but doing a lot of cold emailing I don’t even know lot of cold emailing I don’t even know lot of cold emailing I don’t even know who to call to be honest with you um but who to call to be honest with you um but who to call to be honest with you um but cold calling if if I could get a bunch cold calling if if I could get a bunch cold calling if if I could get a bunch of good leads definitely but I was of good leads definitely but I was of good leads definitely but I was literally just looking at into that the literally just looking at into that the literally just looking at into that the other day because I I 1,00% agree with other day because I I 1,00% agree with other day because I I 1,00% agree with you the problem is is there’s there’s a you the problem is is there’s there’s a you the problem is is there’s there’s a lot of noise no one knows about my thing lot of noise no one knows about my thing lot of noise no one knows about my thing you got to get a lot of eyeballs a lot you got to get a lot of eyeballs a lot you got to get a lot of eyeballs a lot of attention so I was thinking uh of attention so I was thinking uh of attention so I was thinking uh building a few building a few building a few tools and and like free tools and tools and and like free tools and tools and and like free tools and sharing that sharing that that seems to sharing that sharing that that seems to sharing that sharing that that seems to be a pretty successful approach for but be a pretty successful approach for but be a pretty successful approach for but I don’t want to like get really I don’t want to like get really I don’t want to like

have I been pulled okay so what why why have I been pulled away um I talked about this in away um I talked about this in away um I talked about this in yesterday’s video and this is also my yesterday’s video and this is also my yesterday’s video and this is also my random story for today I have been random story for today I have been random story for today I have been requested to compile a list of every requested to compile a list of every requested to compile a list of every single place I’ve been at in the last 10 single place I’ve been at in the last 10 single place I’ve been at in the last 10 years and when so like a full log like years and when so like a full log like years and when so like a full log like you know January 1st to you know March you know January 1st to you know March you know January 1st to you know March 30th I was in this country so I need to 30th I was in this country so I need to 30th I was in this country so I need to do that and um I talked about yesterday do that and um I talked about yesterday do that and um I talked about yesterday how hellish of a task it is because I’ve how hellish of a task it is because I’ve how hellish of a task it is because I’ve traveled the entire world the last traveled the entire world the last traveled the entire world the last decade I’ve been to every continent on decade I’ve been to every continent on decade I’ve been to every continent on Earth the last 10 years well let’s get Earth the last 10 years well let’s get Earth the last 10 years well let’s get into this I found a hacky solution check into this I found a hacky solution check into this I found a hacky solution check this out when when you use Google Maps this out when when you use Google Maps this out when when you use Google Maps on your phone on your phone on your phone they track you they spy on you uh they they track you they spy on you uh they they track you they spy on you uh they track like everywhere you go like if track like everywhere you go like if track like everywhere you go like if you’re at your house all day they don’t you’re at your house all day they don’t you’re at your house all day they don’t track you it’s just like okay you’re track you it’s just like okay you’re track you it’s just like okay you’re there that’s and if you look so there’s there that’s and if you look so there’s there that’s and if you look so there’s something called the timeline where you something called the timeline where you something called the timeline where you can go look at your Google Maps timeline can go look at your Google Maps timeline can go look at your Google Maps timeline see everywhere you’ve been any any day see everywhere you’ve been any any day see everywhere you’ve been any any day so like if you don’t leave your house so like if you don’t leave your house so like if you don’t leave your house for the day and you look at that date for the day and you look at that date for the day and you look at that date it’ll just show like one one thing like it’ll just show like one one thing like it’ll just show like one one thing like you were here at this place your house I you were here at this place your house I you were here at this place your house I am not going to spend days figuring out am not going to spend days figuring out am not going to spend days figuring out and building this spreadsheet this is and building this spreadsheet this is and building this spreadsheet this is nuts like I build automation nuts like I build automation nuts like I build automation Solutions let me show this off it’s Solutions let me show this off it’s Solutions let me show this off it’s really frustrating you can’t access it really frustrating you can’t access it really frustrating you can’t access it on the on on the internet anymore like on the on on the internet anymore like on the on on the internet anymore like on your browser and your computer really on your browser and your computer really on your browser and your computer really not cool uh but I was able to go to the not cool uh but I was able to go to the not cool uh but I was able to go to the app and Export all my data and it is a app and Export all my data and it is a app and Export all my data and it is a massive like 70,000 massive like 70,000 massive like 70,000 line Json file so I wrote a script I line Json file so I wrote a script I line Json file so I wrote a script I used I was really lazy so I was just used I was really lazy so I was just used I was really lazy so I was just like hbt I actually went and used the 03 like hbt I actually went and used the 03 like hbt I actually went and used the 03 mini High CU I was like let’s see how mini High CU I was like let’s see how mini High CU I was like let’s see how this does with this task and I told it this does with this task and I told it this does with this task and I told it exactly what I need and it gave me a exactly what I need and it gave me a exactly what I need and it gave me a solution and it gave me a script so but solution and it gave me a script so but solution and it gave me a script so but the script takes an incredibly long time the script takes an incredibly long time the script takes an incredibly long time because it has to because it has to because it has to go look at every single GPS coordinate go look at every single GPS coordinate go look at every single GPS coordinate in the last 13 years that I’ve ever been in the last 13 years that I’ve ever been in the last 13 years that I’ve ever been in 13 years that I had my phone and my in 13 years that I had my phone and my in 13 years that I had my phone and my phone was on and it has to go look up phone was on and it has to go look up phone was on and it has to go look up the country for every GPS coordinate the country for every GPS coordinate the country for every GPS coordinate guys I’ve been literally around the guys I’ve been literally around the guys I’ve been literally around the world multiple times in 10 years so this world multiple times in 10 years so this world multiple times in 10 years so this is nuts so I wrote the script and look is nuts so I wrote the script and look is nuts so I wrote the script and look at it’s been running for a very long at it’s been running for a very long at it’s been running for a very long time this says 15 hours but it’s it’s time this says 15 hours but it’s it’s time this says 15 hours but it’s it’s actually been longer because when I was actually been longer because when I was actually been longer because when I was first building it I would like make some first building it I would like make some first building it I would like make some changes and start it so it’s been over changes and start it so it’s been over changes and start it so it’s been over 15 hours but it’s working and I don’t 15 hours but it’s working and I don’t 15 hours but it’s working and I don’t care if you know where I went in care if you know where I went in care if you know where I went in Montenegro and Montenegro and Montenegro and 2023 oh actually I was that was my 2023 oh actually I was that was my 2023 oh actually I was that was my birthday I was in uh I I know where I birthday I was in uh I I know where I birthday I was in uh I I know where I was during that time I was bouncing all was during that time I was bouncing all was during that time I was bouncing all around Montenegro at this time that’s around Montenegro at this time that’s around Montenegro at this time that’s why there’s a lot of coordin this I do I why there’s a lot of coordin this I do I why there’s a lot of coordin this I do I I wrote this script where every I wrote this script where every I wrote this script where every coordinate it rounds up to about 11 12 coordinate it rounds up to about 11 12 coordinate it rounds up to about 11 12 10 m about 10 to 12 meters CU it’s very 10 m about 10 to 12 meters CU it’s very 10 m about 10 to 12 meters CU it’s very precise it’s like exactly where you were precise it’s like exactly where you were precise it’s like exactly where you were so I was like it’s fine there might so I was like it’s fine there might so I was like it’s fine there might there was a few times I was at the there was a few times I was at the there was a few times I was at the border but it’s fine let me let let me border but it’s fine let me let let me border but it’s fine let me let let me let me round up to it’s very long and let me round up to it’s very long and let me round up to it’s very long and that’s like a million coordin so what I that’s like a million coordin so what I that’s like a million coordin so what I have it doing is it rounds up to to have it doing is it rounds up to to have it doing is it rounds up to to about the 10 meter about the 10 meter about the 10 meter mark and it C it goes and it looks up mark and it C it goes and it looks up mark and it C it goes and it looks up the country and it cashes it locally the country and it cashes it locally the country and it cashes it locally like like like on on dis this is running like like like on on dis this is running like like like on on dis this is running on a server so I ran all night not on my on a server so I ran all night not on my on a server so I ran all night not on my laptop so it cashes that coordinate so laptop so it cashes that coordinate so laptop so it cashes that coordinate so it goes cash cash cash okay it pulls out it goes cash cash cash okay it pulls out it goes cash cash cash okay it pulls out of the cash and it’s grouping so it of the cash and it’s grouping so it of the cash and it’s grouping so it looks like sequentially what country you looks like sequentially what country you looks like sequentially what country you were in and then when did you move to were in and then when did you move to were in and then when did you move to the next country so it’s mapping that the next country so it’s mapping that the next country so it’s mapping that out and by the end which I’m pretty out and by the end which I’m pretty out and by the end which I’m pretty close to I’m I’m almost done with close to I’m I’m almost done with close to I’m I’m almost done with 2023 I am going to have it due up to 2023 I am going to have it due up to 2023 I am going to have it due up to today so yesterday when I exported we’re today so yesterday when I exported we’re today so yesterday when I exported we’re almost to the almost to the almost to the end um but when it when it needs to look end um but when it when it needs to look end um but when it when it needs to look up a new coordinate it calls the service up a new coordinate it calls the service up a new coordinate it calls the service it gets gets the data and it stores okay it gets gets the data and it stores okay it gets gets the data and it stores okay this coordinate this country is Monro this coordinate this country is Monro this coordinate this country is Monro now if you’re bouncing around a lot now if you’re bouncing around a lot now if you’re bouncing around a lot that’s a lot of coordinates even even that’s a lot of coordinates even even that’s a lot of coordinates even even rounding because I’m not doing any rounding because I’m not doing any rounding because I’m not doing any clustering I decided not to do that I’m clustering I decided not to do that I’m clustering I decided not to do that I’m not doing clustering but I’m rounding up not doing clustering but I’m rounding up not doing clustering but I’m rounding up so it’s like where were you in so it’s like where were you in so it’s like where were you in a you know like I said 10 to 12ish meter a you know like I said 10 to 12ish meter a you know like I said 10 to 12ish meter radius because see look at now I just radius because see look at now I just radius because see look at now I just went to Albania yeah oh God Albania yeah went to Albania yeah oh God Albania yeah went to Albania yeah oh God Albania yeah that wasn’t too fun I I didn’t super that wasn’t too fun I I didn’t super that wasn’t too fun I I didn’t super like Albania to be honest monega was like Albania to be honest monega was like Albania to be honest monega was better so anyways that’s my script so better so anyways that’s my script so better so anyways that’s my script so why why hav’t I have been working why why hav’t I have been working why why hav’t I have been working yesterday instead of my time working on yesterday instead of my time working on yesterday instead of my time working on um working on agents code I worked on um working on agents code I worked on um working on agents code I worked on this script because I really think this this script because I really think this this script because I really think this will save me astronomical amounts of will save me astronomical amounts of will save me astronomical amounts of time I don’t think this is going to give time I don’t think this is going to give time I don’t think this is going to give me 100% I’ll need to go through me 100% I’ll need to go through me 100% I’ll need to go through everything double check and maybe fix a everything double check and maybe fix a everything double check and maybe fix a few little weird things in here but I few little weird things in here but I few little weird things in here but I think this is going to get me I’m hoping think this is going to get me I’m hoping think this is going to get me I’m hoping 9 80 to 90% % of the way you done and 9 80 to 90% % of the way you done and 9 80 to 90% % of the way you done and save me probably days of work because save me probably days of work because save me probably days of work because how else would I find this data I had to how else would I find this data I had to how else would I find this data I had to manually go through on my app they’ve manually go through on

Description

Still working on the documentation, and I hope I can finish that before the week is out.

Plus, I talk about how I wrote a cool script to write a log of where I’ve been the past 10 years!

Don’t want to follow along on YT?

Summary

Daily Update: Build and Public Log - April 3rd, 2025 In this video, I share my daily update on the progress and challenges of my build project. I explain that I wasn’t able to do much yesterday and might not achieve much this week, although I plan to focus on documentation by Sunday. I also discuss a demo I’m preparing to show a cool feature I've been working on. I share insights from community feedback on engaging with potential customers, cold emailing strategies, and the importance of direct customer interaction. Additionally, I delve into a personal project where I developed a script to process and visualize my travel history using location data from Google Maps. I describe the technical hurdles of processing tens of thousands of GPS coordinates, the caching mechanism to speed up lookups, and the eventual plan to turn this into a useful tool for users. Despite some personal challenges and family issues affecting my schedule, I remain committed to advancing the project and learning from each step. I express my passion for travel and technology while balancing work, customer outreach, and documentation efforts.
