All righty.
Now we've got to Google collab notebook running.
Let's get it set up for our project.
Now if you read through the external data Google lab the notebooks Io that I Spy and b Oh that's a little
tidbit too.
So even though we're working on Google's program here Google Code that it's still running the same extension
as our Jupiter notebook.
So i pi and B.
So we can go here download i pi and B so if we did that it would download this notebook here from Ecolab
in the format of a Jew but a notebook that we could load in Jupiter the workspace we've been using previously.
So that's just a little tidbit to know.
Now if you read through that you would find that there's one way if we wanted to upload files to collab
we could go to this little file tab here and click upload now.
That is definitely one way to do it.
However what you might find is that when you Google collab runtime disconnects and you might be wondering
Daniel what's runtime.
Well that's over here.
So you see this little tick.
And if we read that connected to Python three Google compute engine back end.
So this is where we can access a GP you write this co lab notebook is actually not running on our computer
anymore it's running on Google's servers.
That's where you can see they're connected to Python 3.
Google compute engine back in.
So this notebook has been powered by one of Google's computers in their warehouse.
And if we upload a data through here if our runtime disconnected like what you'll see a message like
this it's going to remove all of the data from here because we can't just keep storing data on Google's
machines.
Otherwise they just get overflowed and we'd we'd lose data and some some data you might have might be
private.
So it shouldn't be stored in Google's machine anyway.
Now if you're wondering okay Daniel a lot of this sounds confusing run times or this sort of stuff but
it's important to know because if you were to upload your files here and then the runtime disconnects
say Google's machine just shuts down on you you'd lose everything that you're working on which is not
an ideal scenario.
Now if you're wondering how long does a session last.
Well this is again something that's really hard to answer because I've had times where I'm sitting here
coding away that wasn't code.
But you can pretend I was coding and the runtime I get a message like this runtime disconnected so I've
written here Ecolab connection will sometimes drop out.
It's hard to tell when if it does you need to reconnect and potentially rerun all of your cells.
So if you see this message right.
It won't always come up so I can't guarantee that it comes up during the video's press reconnect.
And you might have to rerun yourselves like this and if you're wondering about more information about
how Ecolab workspace runs I'll leave this in the resources as well.
So if we go google collab EFF HQ.
So these are some frequently asked questions a great little resource here.
This is your homework before the next videos to read through this.
So what is collaboratively is a free to use.
Yes it is free.
One of the limitations.
So this is what we're looking at collab resources are not guaranteed and are not unlimited.
The usage limits sometimes fluctuate.
So that's why we might randomly see one of these run times disconnected and you might also see one of
these messages.
But we haven't connected Google Drive to collab yet.
So this won't appear just yet.
We're still in the process of getting our workspace set up.
So as quick as collab is to get started compared to Jupiter there are still a couple of little issues
because providing a free service like this is what Google's doing is no easy thing to do.
So we'll see where this might come up in the next video.
But in the meantime I want you to read through the CO laboratory frequently asked questions I'll leave
that in the resources section and just make sure that you've got a little green tech here.
And if you don't this will change to connect.
And I want you to click on that and see what it says.
