Thank you, thank you everybody. To celebrate this momentous occasion, I'd like to do so hand 'n hand with another momentous occasion.

Simple though it may be, this day-long video had a serious case of publishing Hell. I finished making this video in late 2016 but couldn't upload it because Youtube can't accept files that are 150 gigabytes. I compressed it with Handbrake and created a 100 gigabyte file. Unfortunately that's not enough as I soon learned that when you upload a video to Youtube, a timer will start and if your video hasn't finished processing in say, five days, it'll force it to stop. My file size problem had already been solved, what I was now dealing with was an ISP problem.

About a week ago, I connected with a new ISP that gave me 10 mpbs in upload speed, letting me send the file to Youtube in under 24 hours; cutting down the upload time was key to getting this published online. My first attempt was almost successful, the upload reached 98% when my power suddenly dropped. When it came back, I immediately restarted the upload and what you see now is my second attempt.

I should mention that, in keeping with tradition of the original 7 second video, I was originally going to use Atlas Shrugged for the subtitles but when I found out that wasn't in the public domain, I decided I would instead use the Quran. I made this decision a year ago when I was cockblocked by Comcast so no, this is not a recent development. Imagine my surprise when Youtube finished processing my file on September 11th. It's almost as if the power surge that shut off my computer and the less-than-fortunate upload date that followed were ordained by God himself.

18 hours later I would become User of the Day. What a coincidence.

You might all be wondering why a 360p video would weigh 100 gigabytes. That's because it's not truly 360p, it's 2160p at 60 frames per second. As it currently stands, you may notice that the duck's feathers never touch the keyboard but he then suddenly will touch the keyboard at the 00:01:23:59 mark, alternating between both sets of animation every minute and twenty-three seconds or so. That's because for 360p the native number of frames had to be cut in half. This is common for Youtube but rest assured that it will eventually update to the true scale of my horrible fucking machinations. One can only hope you find this all as amusing as I do.

SINcerely yours.

On NG, you could set the 7 second version to loop and play it for 48+ hours.

Wow, thanks for the kind words! Change "long time member" to "long time to get a response from him" I guess. x)
