Subnostr

I miscounted by one day. I expected them today, they came yesterday late afternoon/evening. Not sure how long to wait on the last egg. It may be dud #2. She never went broody before. She's close to five years old. Like Sarah and Abraham. LOL Kids in their dotage.

My Naked Neck chickens.

Sunday roast in the making...

Robin Holstein 2y ago

Is it supposed to be naked? I honestly don't know much about the breeds. I have some chickens, but I'm no expert.

Robin Holstein 2y ago

They are here! They are here! Our first ever batch of ducklings! If all hatch we'll have eight, but I only saw three before getting this sneak video! #grownostr #ducks #ducklings #ducksofnostr #ducklingsofnostr

Now I need to figure out how to incorporate it with my live feed program.

Robin Holstein 2y ago

I use Streamyard. #[3] and #[4] showed me how to open a nostr nest and include it in my livestream. Nests are audio only, like podcast. You open the nest in a new tab and share the tab. You can save the audio also! I am still working out the details but if I can do a crappy job I am sure you will do a good one. 😁 #grownostr

It's hard when people are unfairly critical of our work. You're already thinking smart by not immediately responding with your initial emotional reaction.

If I'm a potential guest and I see an unreasonable negative review I actually become more interested when I see the owner respond politely. If I see a location has only positive 100% scores I automaticly devalue all the positive comments because I assume the negative ones are being censored.

Some people just like to complain, if a future potential customer is turned off by- I couldn't read or follow instructions, and I have no self control towards what I stuff in my face... you probably don't want to deal with them as a customer anyway.

Negative feedback is also a good chance to improve your business practices too. If the information is too long and boring to read maybe you can highlight and shorten the presentation in your communications. I always try to be polite to everyone, but I also assume that everyone is easily distracted or tired or just plain dumb. Some people need more handholding than others.

Don't forget your business is not you. You will never make everyone happy all the time. They are allowed to be disappointed, you can try to reduce the disappointment but it will never be eliminated.

Good luck, keep at it!

This is the downside to using OTAs (online travel apps/agencies ) and why I try to cultivate more direct bookings. Abb promotes super hosts above others. If you fall below a percentage then you lose that status and that edge. And it takes an enormous number of higher scores to overcome the beating one very low one can inflict. Since I have just the one room I don’t have a large number of guests in any one year.

It can be disconcerting to get a not so good review, but you should definitely write a public response when you are ready. Some people just have unrealistic expectations and dont think they have to follow your houserules.

Robin Holstein 2y ago

Yep Glad I have things to do while I settle down.

Robin Holstein 2y ago

Contemplating how to not knee jerk respond to a percentage altering low review by my recent abb guest. Not only is it clear in the description check in is from 3-6 pm, I asked her to be sure she read the dull description when she requested to book. She got upset when I told her she could not show up at 9:00 pm. I have had the abb since 2017. The times have never changed. Then she said she felt compelled to eat breakfast because I had it out.

Flustered but going to wait till later to respond.

Guy Swann & Jack Spirko Discuss Nostr’s Future – Epi-3297

I asked Guy to join me today to talk about Nostr & it’s future. The monetization of the app space, the concept of “one key pair and your tribe is everywhere, what comes next and a ton more.

Don’t miss this one. It was an amazing discussion with one of the smartest people to ever be on TSPC.

Had an interesting presentation at the school board meeting tonight. The lady who spoke was very passionate about getting the school to support a garden program where ideally the school could teach the kids how to grow, then feed themselves with the garden at the school. These things don’t happen easy, but I’m pushing for it because it’s a good idea whose time is right 👨‍🌾🪴🍓🍎🥔🥦🥒🥕🌽🥬🍅🥬🧅🧄🌶️🫛🫑🍠
