AFTER a Zoom guitar session which was rescheduled for this morning after yesterday’s power cut I film some promo videos for the BluesAlive Festival in Czech in November.

I edit up vertical, square ands 16:9 versions and give Margaret a link to send off.

After lunch I start to try and sort out all the Facebook/Meta pixel issues – be good to have this sorted out so I can update the pixel info for the ads I have scheduled to go live on Facebook later today.

There’s a whole load of ad accounts, page identifications and pixel codes and data from a load of different places – including Eventbrite and Kickstarter. Seems ‘installing’ Facebook pixels via third party ‘helper’ apps causes a few issues, even though int he short term they are quick and easy solutions for the non-tech savvy.

Anyway, a lot of notes, cross-referencing and stuff gets things mostly sorted out and I’m able to add the pixel info the the scheduled ads.

I have a break in the process for an in-person lesson in the studio one of my young guitar students.

In the house I prepare. pork tenderloin for sous vide which takes a good three hours then we go and help clear the road int he village. Three trees have come down and it takes a dozen of us, four chainsaws and a truck well over an hour to get the road clear….
