00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.119
And I believe we are live. Hi, Daniel, how are you doing? I'm

00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:17.199
doing great. It's cold outside, but it's nice in here, yeah.

00:00:17.200 --> 00:00:21.439
I can assure you it's very cold in my own place as well. We do

00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:24.679
EmacsConf always in December and that's always when it's

00:00:24.680 --> 00:00:27.479
particularly cold where I live and I assume where you live as

00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:31.039
well. So, don't worry, we'll try to keep you warm with

00:00:31.040 --> 00:00:35.039
interesting questions. But first, thank you for taking the

00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:38.359
time out of your busy high school life to make a presentation

NOTE Q: Do you have any thoughts about the process of recording something for a conference?

00:00:38.360 --> 00:00:41.439
about Emacs. Do you have any thoughts about the process of

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:44.399
recording something for a conference? Because I assume

00:00:44.400 --> 00:00:47.279
it's one of the first ones you're ever doing.

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:55.879
I think it was not as difficult as I thought it would be. I just

00:00:55.880 --> 00:01:04.479
recorded in my basement and prepared some notes

00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:08.639
beforehand. I think it was definitely helpful to have Emacs

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.959
as a tool for that, because I made my presentation with

00:01:11.960 --> 00:01:18.559
Beamer. Right. I mean, it's amazing to see so many of the

00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:22.519
tools because, you know, you've shown Emacs, but you've

00:01:22.520 --> 00:01:27.399
shown Beamer. You've shown tools that are about twice as old

00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:30.239
as you are yourself, which is amazing when you think about

00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:33.199
it. But I think many people in the audience can actually

00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:36.479
relate to your discovery of those tools because we were

00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:40.679
pretty much, I mean a lot of us were your age when we started

00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:43.999
playing with those tools so it's like there's a little bit of

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:45.759
nostalgia that we feel looking at your presentation

00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:48.719
because we are, we can see the excitement behind everything

00:01:48.720 --> 00:01:51.919
you've touched and that's great for us because it brings us

00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:55.919
back maybe 10 or 20 years in the past and for others perhaps 30

00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:01.079
or 40 years so that's kind of amazing.

00:02:01.080 --> 00:02:05.039
How about we start taking some questions? So, just for

00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:09.199
timekeeping, we have until 20 of the current hours, which is

00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:12.079
8 minutes and 30 seconds to cover as many questions as

00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:16.599
possible. Now, if we might take the first one. So, Corwin,

00:02:16.600 --> 00:02:20.359
can you scroll down to the questions? Yes. I'll be reading

00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:22.319
you the questions just to make it a little easier for you,

00:02:22.320 --> 00:02:23.791
Daniel, to answer them.

NOTE Q: I use org-roam for notes and find it very useful - have you considered it?

00:02:23.792 --> 00:02:25.999
I use Org-roam for notes and find it

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:30.639
very useful. Have you considered it? Uh, yeah, that's

00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:35.519
actually where I started out for taking notes. Um, that,

00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:38.719
that I moved to Denote because I didn't use all of its

00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:44.319
features, um, for, Org Roam, I meant.

00:02:44.320 --> 00:02:46.999
Uh, I also didn't, didn't really like the dependency on an

00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:51.919
external database. Uh, it just like took a while for, um,

00:02:51.920 --> 00:02:56.879
stuff to index if I moved it between like, uh, using sync

00:02:56.880 --> 00:03:03.679
thing. laptop and my desktop. Yeah. Yeah, it's definitely

00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:08.119
something, I mean, I co-maintain Org Roam, so I'm fully aware

00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:12.159
of this problem with it. And yeah, SyncThing is not great to

00:03:12.160 --> 00:03:16.639
sync a database, a SQLite database that we use. And, I mean,

00:03:16.640 --> 00:03:19.399
whichever solution you use, whatever works for you is good.

00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:21.919
Orgrim was kind of thought in terms of scalability for

00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:26.199
people who had, you know, thousands of notes with thousands

00:03:26.200 --> 00:03:28.919
of links inside of them. so perhaps it's not adapted to your

00:03:28.920 --> 00:03:31.039
note-taking style right now, but perhaps it's something to

00:03:31.040 --> 00:03:34.599
keep in mind, you know, it's many tools and you use them when

00:03:34.600 --> 00:03:39.599
you need to. Colin, if we can switch the questions, I'm

00:03:39.600 --> 00:03:40.879
switching to the second one.

NOTE Q: Do you use the Getting Things Done methodology as part of your Org workflow?

00:03:40.880 --> 00:03:42.159
Do you use the Getting Things

00:03:42.160 --> 00:03:46.639
Done methodology as part of your Org workflow? So there's an

00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:50.039
interesting thing about that. I started with Org first and

00:03:50.040 --> 00:03:54.959
then I heard about Getting Things Done, so I didn't exactly

00:03:54.960 --> 00:04:01.679
design my workflow with that in mind, but I sort of

00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:06.439
reinvented it, I would say, not really, but I do a lot of

00:04:06.440 --> 00:04:09.439
the similar things, but I don't have the different TODO

00:04:09.440 --> 00:04:11.319
states like...

00:04:11.320 --> 00:04:17.279
I don't know an example because I didn't really look into it

00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:22.719
that much, but it would be like NEXT isn't the next thing

00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:28.879
you're going to do. But I don't think I...

00:04:28.880 --> 00:04:35.239
where I just write what I need to do and then schedule it and

00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:40.999
then look at my agenda for the next thing. Yeah, I mean, part

00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:45.959
of the beauty of using Emacs, Org Mode or using a methodology

00:04:45.960 --> 00:04:49.719
like Getting Things Done is that I think you need to find room

00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:53.519
in the method or the tool for you to organically do what you

00:04:53.520 --> 00:04:57.279
want. And it's okay to not do everything in a Getting Things

00:04:57.280 --> 00:05:00.599
Done methodology. I know a lot of people take issue

00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:04.719
with the tickler file, where you're supposed to put stuff to

00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:07.319
review in the future. For instance, if you don't want

00:05:07.320 --> 00:05:10.439
to work on this particular topic right now in your life, you

00:05:10.440 --> 00:05:14.679
decide, oh, I'd like to revisit this topic maybe in six

00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.399
months. And then you have this tickler file, which has

00:05:17.400 --> 00:05:21.799
entries and folders for each month of the year. And when six

00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:24.039
months comes and you find yourself at the beginning of the

00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:27.319
next month, you open the file and you see, oh there's the task

00:05:27.320 --> 00:05:30.319
I left off for later. A lot of people don't like to do it this

00:05:30.320 --> 00:05:34.279
way, some people really like it, but part of the beauty of

00:05:34.280 --> 00:05:38.119
having tools which are very modular like Emacs and Org Mode

00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:41.479
allows you to have, well, you just adjust the method for

00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:44.439
something that works. And there's something to be garnered

00:05:44.440 --> 00:05:48.759
as well for applying these lessons to how you organize your

00:05:48.760 --> 00:05:51.559
life, not merely in front of a computer, but also how you

00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:54.519
manage your tasks elsewhere at school, iSchool or

00:05:54.520 --> 00:05:58.519
elsewhere.

NOTE Q: org-fc and org-drill are emacs org mode centric flash card solutions, have you looked into them?

00:05:58.520 --> 00:06:02.799
All right, moving to the next question. Org-fc and org-drill

00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:06.319
are Emacs Org Mode-centric flashcard solutions. Have you

00:06:06.320 --> 00:06:11.599
looked into them? I think I looked into Org-Drill, but I

00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:17.359
wanted to use Anki because of... I wanted to use it on my

00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:21.439
phone, but then I realized I had to pay for the app, and then I

00:06:21.440 --> 00:06:24.119
didn't want to use it on my phone anymore.

00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:31.799
but it's just something that I used before without work mode

00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:35.239
for a little bit. And then I liked it,

00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:42.919
but yeah, it works pretty well with Org mode. So I didn't

00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:47.799
find a reason to switch to one of those because like I might be

00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:53.559
not at a computer one day and have to learn something. Yeah,

00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.399
that's something that you call premature optimization.

00:06:56.400 --> 00:06:59.479
And if you continue as a software engineer at university,

00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.679
you'll get to hear plenty of this. But yes, Anki is also a tool

00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:06.399
that I've used a whole lot in my learning journeys, be it

00:07:06.400 --> 00:07:09.719
about languages, be it about literature, be it about

00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:15.519
whatever really, and it's a very good tool and I recommend

00:07:15.520 --> 00:07:17.799
people to look into it, especially since they've released a

00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:20.839
new algorithm to manage learning a little differently than

00:07:20.840 --> 00:07:23.719
the old one. If you're familiar with SuperMemo, I really

00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:25.992
invite you to look into the advancement

00:07:25.993 --> 00:07:27.505
in Anki in recent years.

NOTE Q: What do other students think about your approach - and what are they doing instead (if anything)? And your teachers - what do they think?

00:07:27.506 --> 00:07:31.399
Moving to another question, what do other students

00:07:31.400 --> 00:07:33.919
think about your approach and what are they doing instead,

00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:39.359
if anything? And your teachers, what do they think? So for

00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:43.199
other students they usually are just confused about what's

00:07:43.200 --> 00:07:51.879
going on when I show my computer because they know that I use

00:07:51.880 --> 00:07:56.759
Linux but they don't know what it is so they're just assuming

00:07:56.760 --> 00:08:03.839
everything on my computer is I'm either hacking or like

00:08:03.840 --> 00:08:05.999
doing some Linux thing and

00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:09.919
I don't really bother to explain it to them so that's kind

00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:17.079
But for I love it. See my see my prior videos. That's that's

00:08:17.080 --> 00:08:19.559
wonderful. Pardon me. Pardon me for breaking in, Daniel.

00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:22.239
But I just since I have, I want to say wonderful

00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:28.559
presentation. I love your spirit, your tone and great

00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:29.319
thought there.

00:08:29.320 --> 00:08:31.399
For my teachers, I think...

00:08:31.400 --> 00:08:38.799
because if I write an essay or something, I usually paste it

00:08:38.800 --> 00:08:46.879
in Google Docs. But recently, I got more confident, which is

00:08:46.880 --> 00:08:53.879
export to LaTeX, and I did that for my physics labs. My

00:08:53.880 --> 00:08:56.439
teacher was pretty satisfied with the results for the math

00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:03.119
formatting. So I think they don't really have a problem with

00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:06.959
it, where it's actually more convenient, maybe.

00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:13.039
That's really great to hear and if you continue at

00:09:13.040 --> 00:09:16.519
university, which I'm almost sure that you will, your

00:09:16.520 --> 00:09:19.279
professors, you'll be pretty much using the same tools as

00:09:19.280 --> 00:09:23.359
they are, so you'll find yourself in a like-minded crowd of

00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:28.519
people once you get to university. We are a little short on

00:09:28.520 --> 00:09:30.719
time because we need to move to the next talk in about one

00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:35.999
minute. There are still some questions and Daniel, I would

00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:40.399
invite you to stay and maybe answer them in a room so that we

00:09:40.400 --> 00:09:43.399
can gather as many of your answers as possible. But before we

00:09:43.400 --> 00:09:45.239
leave, I just want to give you the opportunity, if you have

00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:46.919
any last words, to share them with the crowd.

00:09:46.920 --> 00:09:53.479
Well, for the students who may be watching this, I hope that

00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:57.319
you give Emacs a try. And good luck if you decide to use

00:09:57.320 --> 00:10:01.519
something else because it's probably won't be as great.

00:10:01.520 --> 00:10:07.399
It's very good to be so young and to already be convinced that

00:10:07.400 --> 00:10:09.879
Emacs is the best thing. For some of us, it took us many

00:10:09.880 --> 00:10:12.839
decades to reach this conclusion, and I'm so happy

00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:15.095
to see young people. I used to be a teacher,

00:10:15.096 --> 00:10:17.016
by the way, so I used to teach people your age,

00:10:17.017 --> 00:10:19.799
but I'm so happy to see people your age

00:10:19.800 --> 00:10:23.359
interested in Emacs because it makes me hopeful that in the

00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:26.799
future we'll have people carrying the flame and standing on

00:10:26.800 --> 00:10:30.039
the shoulders of current people. So thank you so much,

00:10:30.040 --> 00:10:32.917
Daniel. We'll be seeing you soon. We wish you good luck with

00:10:32.917 --> 00:10:35.999
your studies. And for EmacsConf, we'll be moving to the next

00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:39.624
talk in five seconds. See you soon. And I want to reassure

00:10:39.625 --> 00:10:44.332
you, we'll post all the Q&A info when we do post this video.

00:10:44.333 --> 00:10:47.839
Yes. So Daniel, as I said,

00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:49.239
if you want to stick around a little more with

00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:51.839
Corwin to answer the questions, that's all fine.

00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:53.599
I'll be moving to the next room to get ready for the next

00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:59.159
talks. So thank you, Daniel. And I'll see you later.

00:10:59.160 --> 00:11:06.199
All right, the cops are gone. Wait, no, I'm just kidding. No,

00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:10.042
but if you'd like to walk through a few more of these

00:11:10.043 --> 00:11:11.960
questions, I'd be happy to record that. You're not

00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:14.559
obligated to do that. You could also, the pad's there. You

00:11:14.560 --> 00:11:16.999
could just type out your answers or whatever you prefer to

00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:24.559
do. I guess I can answer them still. Cool.

00:11:24.560 --> 00:11:25.359
So we're here.

NOTE Q: What was your biggest source of frustration/friction/confusion when getting started with Emacs?

00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:27.759
What was your biggest source of frustration, friction,

00:11:27.760 --> 00:11:32.319
confusion when getting started?

00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:38.239
I honestly don't really remember. It

00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:45.279
somehow just clicked one day and I figured it out.

00:11:45.280 --> 00:11:48.123
All right, it takes us pretty naturally to the next one.

NOTE Q: How did you come across Emacs? What got you into it?

00:11:48.124 --> 00:11:54.079
How did you come across Emacs? What got you into it? I could ask

00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:58.280
this question quite

00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:05.479
similar to how I stumbled into Linux, where I was... I heard

00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:09.519
of it before, but I saw screenshots of it

00:12:09.520 --> 00:12:11.247
or something on Reddit, and I was like, oh,

00:12:11.248 --> 00:12:14.648
that looks pretty cool, maybe I'll look into that.

00:12:14.649 --> 00:12:16.599
And then on YouTube, I would see videos

00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:21.199
about Doom Emacs, and then the Doomcasts video,

00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:37.239
I think that's what really got me into it.

00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:42.279
Okay, I did my best to capture that. So what's the situation

00:12:42.280 --> 00:12:46.439
with respect to the mobile use, if that's applicable? And

00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:47.639
Orgzly is,

00:12:47.640 --> 00:12:52.359
sorry, was it not Doomcast? Is it System Crafters?

00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:58.199
Sorry if I botched the note. Oh yeah, System Crafters was

00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.679
also one of the things I used for getting into Emacs from

00:13:01.680 --> 00:13:08.079
scratch. I'm sorry if my dog is barking.

00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:16.799
the, I'm not sure how to pronounce his name, but Protesilaos,

00:13:16.800 --> 00:13:20.399
I think that's how you say it. I always say Prot just to get me

00:13:20.400 --> 00:13:23.039
out of that problem for what it's worth. I'm not sure that I

00:13:23.040 --> 00:13:26.719
can say it properly either. Yeah, his videos were really

00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:30.479
great for getting started with each, each individual

00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:31.240
component of

00:13:31.292 --> 00:13:34.124
something like there's entire videos just

00:13:34.125 --> 00:13:40.249
about completion and about a tool called Embark. And like, I

00:13:40.250 --> 00:13:41.318
would just watch those videos

00:13:41.319 --> 00:13:42.999
while I was doing the dishes or something.

00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:53.679
and I would learn a lot from that.

NOTE Q: What the situation with respect to "mobile" use (if ever that's applicable)? (yes, Orgzly...using that?)

00:13:53.680 --> 00:13:59.120
Awesome. I love it. What about the mobile...

00:13:59.121 --> 00:14:04.960
sorry, did I get that question out there already? Oh, no.

00:14:04.961 --> 00:14:07.917
I don't use Emacs or any Org Mode things on my

00:14:07.918 --> 00:14:19.963
phone. I have an iPhone, unfortunately.

00:14:19.964 --> 00:14:24.120
But for org files, I couldn't really get it to sync over

00:14:24.121 --> 00:14:26.800
without using a paid app.

00:14:26.801 --> 00:14:28.040
And I didn't really look into it

00:14:28.041 --> 00:14:30.140
that much because I have a computer with me

00:14:30.141 --> 00:14:36.000
almost all the time.

00:14:36.001 --> 00:14:39.520
Usually I carry around a notebook. And if I really need to

00:14:39.521 --> 00:14:41.940
know something or remember it for later,

00:14:41.941 --> 00:14:52.660
I just write it down.

00:14:52.661 --> 00:15:01.759
I've seen people get started with e-ink tablets, and they

00:15:01.760 --> 00:15:07.959
sync it with SyncThing because it's Android, but I don't use

00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:21.919
that, so I can't really attest to how good it is.

NOTE Q: Has using emacs led to expanded interest in programming/computer science?

00:15:21.920 --> 00:15:25.559
So has using Emacs led you to an expanded interest in

00:15:25.560 --> 00:15:28.519
programming and computer science? Sorry if

00:15:28.520 --> 00:15:31.781
I could have got that out of the presentation.

00:15:31.782 --> 00:15:33.999
I think Emacs is what got me

00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:37.840
started with Lisp specifically.

00:15:37.900 --> 00:15:40.380
Otherwise, I probably would have not really looked into it

00:15:40.381 --> 00:15:44.920
that much, other than like  maybe dabbling in Scheme

00:15:44.921 --> 00:15:50.180
from the Structures and Interpretations of Computer

00:15:50.181 --> 00:15:53.680
Programs book. But I probably wouldn't have seen that if I

00:15:53.681 --> 00:16:06.120
hadn't discovered Emacs either so.

00:16:06.121 --> 00:16:08.792
I was already into programming

00:16:08.793 --> 00:16:14.958
before Emacs, and I had used VS Code for a little bit and then

00:16:14.959 --> 00:16:22.917
Vim. But I think I've done most of my programming

00:16:22.918 --> 00:16:26.667
inside of Emacs, in terms of lines of code written,

00:16:26.668 --> 00:16:40.671
projects made...

NOTE Q: How does interaction with others work in technical terms?

00:16:40.672 --> 00:16:44.519
So maybe we'd jump from there, right, to, you mentioned

00:16:44.520 --> 00:16:48.359
exporting notes, essays, and so on, handing them on to other

00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:53.319
people. How does interaction with others work in technical

00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:57.759
terms? We mostly find workflows centered around like

00:16:57.760 --> 00:17:00.479
Microsoft products, and that makes sense to me. I have a day

00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:03.719
job where I have to work with a bunch of Microsoft products,

00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:08.399
and I know the workflows for that. So how do you manage your

00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:14.519
kind of Emacs-y you know, workflows, um, you know, in terms of

00:17:14.520 --> 00:17:19.119
sharing with people. Yeah. So for sharing with like my

00:17:19.120 --> 00:17:22.719
teachers or something, I would, we use like Google at our

00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:25.759
school. So for, I'm very fortunate that I don't have to deal

00:17:25.760 --> 00:17:29.639
with Microsoft other than with a very niche situations in

00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:32.599
which I can just use LibreOffice and then convert to Doc X or

00:17:32.600 --> 00:17:35.719
something. I heard that chef. That's, that's how all my

00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:39.679
vendors, uh, my vendors all roll their eyes when they were,

00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:42.885
oh, you're a Microsoft shop. Yep. Heard.

00:17:42.886 --> 00:17:45.947
Then they're all Google shops too, in education.

00:17:45.948 --> 00:17:51.958
Great point. For Google, I just... If my teachers wanted

00:17:51.959 --> 00:17:53.125
a Google Doc or something,

00:17:53.126 --> 00:17:54.299
I usually just copy paste

00:17:54.300 --> 00:17:55.679
whatever I wrote in Emacs

00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:59.333
and then still keep it, anyway, as a side thing

00:17:59.334 --> 00:18:00.667
because I don't really trust the cloud

00:18:00.668 --> 00:18:02.875
that much in terms of using

00:18:02.876 --> 00:18:10.667
it for later if I wanted to look at it. But for that, I don't

00:18:10.668 --> 00:18:14.339
really have too much problems. Hopefully, I will find a way

00:18:14.340 --> 00:18:21.439
to figure it out when I get into university.

00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:26.679
Awesome. Okay, well, I know we did it once already, but since

00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:30.479
this will be the end of the video, let me just open the floor

00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:33.439
one more time for parting thoughts.

00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:41.719
I'm not sure that I have any. I mean, you said it pretty well,

00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:46.639
right? I hope my peers see this. I hope they realize other

00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:49.879
tools are kind of inferior from a gets things done

00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:54.639
standpoint. Saw your talk. Heard that message in this Q&A.

00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:58.159
I think you did a great job. You don't have to say more, but

00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:02.835
just offering you the chance. Thank you.

00:19:02.836 --> 00:19:03.916
Well, thank you, Daniel,

00:19:03.917 --> 00:19:07.439
and thanks to everybody watching this video

00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:09.838
during the conference or after it,

00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:12.159
and appreciate and look forward

00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:18.880
to your talks in the future, Daniel. Thank you.
