Hey up, it appears I've not posted here for a while, well I'm still plodding away with the ST, and still making weak content for Youtube.

A lot of the topics I try to cover on my channel are fairly straight forward, and just amount to the little jobs that need doing.

None of my content is sponsored, and my channel isn't even monetized. The videos just feature me goofing around with my ST.
