It’s another Friday and it’s another opportunity for myself, myself being Lukeh of course, to introduce this final day of the week before another weekend of Formula 1 action. Of course, what with it being Monaco this weekend we’re all in bizarro land and practise was actually yesterday instead of today. If you’re expecting practise today then, well, you may be a tad disappointed my friends. Still, it’s Friday! So what wealth of information do we have to discuss thanks to the power of the bullet points this week?
- As I’ve mentioned Monaco has it’s practise sessions on a Thursday, with the results for Session 1 and Session 2 available for your viewing. Both were typical practise sessions – nothing remarkable to point out. Kamui Kobayashi managed to crash at one point of course, so normal service was resuming in Monaco clearly. Hopefully this weekend we’ll get a good race – the weather reports have continually hinted at rain so who knows...
- Codemasters had the very kind nature in them to upload another developer’s diary regarding the development of their Formula 1 2010 game. The new diary studies the way that weather affects not only the track in the game but the car you’re driving and the AI drivers too looking for puddles and adapting to the climate. It looks like a remarkable weather system included in the game and has only made me more excited for the release of F1 2010 in September!
- I have quite literally spent my week coding and coding for my penultimate assignment and it is driving me nuts. PHP should be renamed to SLIS – Silly Language is Silly. Although I prefer it to the horrid experience that is C++. Me and C++ get on like fire and ice. If PHP is Rubens being at Brawn then C++ is Rubens at Ferrari under Darth Schumacher, definitely. Sorry, I’m probably boring you now but I have a point to this coding malarkey – Mr C has been redesigning the homepage once again and it looks really lovely at the moment. It has a realtime button! So sweeeet! I heart that button and the fat hearts in the comments at the bottom as well.
Well that’s another Daily from yours truly, I hope I haven’t disappointed or annoyed. Remember to head over to my Formula 1 blog Gridwalk Talk after races to see what I feel races deserve to be graded and a report card for each race – one of my career aspirations is to be a teacher so perhaps I am making an ultimate combination there. Remember to also check out the massive achievement for Sidepodcast in reaching 3000 posts this week, something that blows my mind just staring at that number. Nevertheless, as ever it’s been a joy to write this and I hope to see you in the comment at some point today.
good morning friday
a couple of site updates for today:
- added link to more detailed standings on homepage sidebar
- added calendar to homepage sidebar
- added random post button to homepage sidebar and posts sidebar
Nice. Could you put the random button near to the 'one year ago' thing? I think they'd fit together.
ooh, very possibly. went for consistency with the other sidebar, but it does make sense.
I had quite a productive evening
- talked to a man about a house, a scheme where you pay part rent and part mortgage, makes it cheaper than buying outright.... i still can't afford it though, stupid expensive houses in a low wage area.. something to shoot for though.
- made scrambled eggs. i can't cook and am scared to try so i don't bother but i really fancied them, google is useful. feel a bit silly now i know they are so easy
- big tidy of rubbish and recycling.
- watched GP2 Spain '09 Sprint, and an ep of The Wire (just realised I've got to hit 3.5 of them per day before it is wiped from BT Vision.. left it a bit late)
I'm heading for an early night, catch you some time Friday
i missed the developer's diary last time lukeh linked to one in the daily. i swear i've seen it this time.
night pat
Oooh look it's Friday. Night Pat.
I have Friday off. I guess that's cheery :D I'll probably end up sleeping in too late though.
i love, love, love this concept: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FRwCs99DWg
Hehehehe
That is very smart
i'd employ him. v.clever.
And he should be selling the secret to getting the top position in a search
it's an advert, he just just bought the position using google ads. i guess the names weren't hotly contested keywords, or he was happy to pay the price.
Yeah. Unless he was annoyingly smug. Then I'd tell him to do something useful with his life :P
i know i would be
Yay friday! And with no practice I have an exciting evening of washing and transcribing ahead of me. Woo!
Sounds like fun
Morning everyone :)
Amazon paid for my name as an advert for my book!
I just put the word out in my office that I want extra hours at the start and end of each day and on Saturdays from 31/5 until 15/8. I might die from exhaustion but at least I won't have time to spend the extra money i'll be earning. I'm tired already just thinking about it. I just need to remember being able to afford to eat in Europe will be worth it :D
In my desperation I appear to have agreed to work until 10pm tomorrow night. I shall have to miss Q1 unless I get sent home early!
Euro is falling :-)
woohoo!
Giggles!
Morning... I'm back!
This is what I bought fourstar back from Italy... I had to buy two converters for the power cables... He's set it up on his desk...

Now that is what I call a good start to the day.
oooh I want one! Good thing I shall be in Italy in 4 months!
Hello everyone!
I just completely wiped my laptop to start afresh. I am using my sister's desktop, so it might lag a little.
Any ideas on the first program I should install (once it is done restoring)?
I know that makes it all the more realistic... Because he can't really turn around and serve it to somebody.
my clients in Europe getting invoices from me in USD think otherwise :-)
So did you have a fab time?
Yeah it was good... We stood on a volcano!!!
Crazy fool.
Morning all, look at these! It's some sort of epic board game
http://www.flickr.com/photos/dan4th/2429389108/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/dan4th/2394329525/
want. I looooove board games. My whole life I've tried to have a social circle that finds board game nights acceptable. I have failed.
even on the board Monaco looks better than Barca :-)
Whats your favourite board game?
cluedo!
Well it hadn't gone off for 1,000 years apparently so it was semi-dormant. Apparently that's okay.
It echoed underfoot when I stomped down my foot. Katherine didn't like the stomping down especially when after one stomp I stepped on a shell type thing and there was a cracking noise...
But luckily I survived Katherine exploding ;)
I love board games too... Luckily I get to play them pretty regularly. The ideal option is to have a partner who likes board games too. And then all you need is a pool of people who might give it a go and you can invite them over. Mostly games only need a minimum of 3 players.
oooh....
Do you play minesweeper too? You might want to try this, but it is quite basic.
Morning. Welcome back Giggles
I am excited by whatever is loading right now on my very slow internet.
Thank you!
I quite like them and my Dad and sister really love them.
He has a Spanish game called Alhambra which is very complicated but can be interesting. You have to build a village using little tiles.
Heheheh, Trulli telling people not to complain. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/83597
http://www.justin.tv/sa_majeste_fatal3#r=MPH0iwM~
GP2 race if anyonee wants it
I would like to complain that I will be watching Q1 after Q2 and Q3 :D
"They have had plenty of time among the teams about what to do for here, and they didn't come up with a solution. So I don't think anyone should start complaining now."
Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't it Tony Fernandes that was blocking the change to 2 sessions?
I would, if I weren't at work. :(
How come?
Good grief:
http://twitpic.com/1nn0gx
http://twitpic.com/1nn0rr
O.O :(
Hope he's OK.
It was last week, he was fine
oof..
and note the helmet of the driver of the red car..
it starts at 10pm, I am at work til then, I will be home at 10.20 so just in time to watch Q2. Our TV coverage is delayed so that starts at 10.30 so I'll record that and watch it when the BBC coverage is over :D
Oof is a great description!
He did quite well in the other races too, its not as bad as it looks, the press release only has 1 sentence attached to it;
"There was a big shunt, too, involving Antti Buri's Enigma Mygale and Dan Cammish in the KMR Spectrum, and plenty more excitement besides."
Looks like he landed fine. Great camerawork though.
how would the redesigned Mercedes GP car handle that sort of roll ...
Let's hope that doesn't happen.
For those not looking it is dark with white stripes, that is to say, Josh Hill, son of Damon and grandson of Graham.
Have we had a 3rd-generation driver in F1 before?
isn't that sort of the response Ross Brawn gave (in other words) ?
Or by the time you make a cup of tea Q1 will be on your TV and you can sit down pretending it is live, but with no internet stuff
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/motorsport/formulaone/michael-schumacher/7718722/Michael-Schumachers-top-five-F1-controversies.html
I like the fact they use and link to all that "ilegal" copyrighted FOM video footage on You Tube :-)
I tried no internet stuff last weekend since I was out all night and started watching qualy two hours after it finished, I ended up fast forwarding most of it. It's just not the same without you guys! *group hug*
:)
Actually, I don't really mind no. 4 all that much. They just should have done it in a more classy manner ala Brazil 2007, rather than a direct order.
I hate him for no. 1, 2 & 5 though.
Hehe :)
How many other drivers can have a top five controversies list?
I am sure Fernando is keeping a tally.
I think Ham is on the right track :-)
A Rowers helmet... related to the Hills?
So it IS a Hill! 3rd-generation? You have Mario-Michael-Marco Andretti, but Marco's not in F1 (well, not yet, anyway).
Alonso, Hamilton, Senna.
oooh, forgot it's the monaco joe meetup today.
*jealous*
the solution is clearly to come to Singapore with me?
:)
here's a question we must be able to answer:
@sidepodcast Which F1 drivers are single? Is Timo Glock?
http://twitter.com/stuartgarlick/status/13966844419
He was busy in yesterday's conference, lots of good questions
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/83591
Corrected.
In reply I would say "Timos girlfriend is @http://twitter.com/isabelldoreen" :D
ooh @ fail. But you get what I mean.
I know Piquet's still on the market :P
that's better :)
flippin' heck!! was he the only guy in there or something?! he asked loads!
and probably true :D
I think Sutil is the only one, actually.
NOT an F1 driver. :P
i might suggest that should be the case... the Joe conference. :)
"Obviously that's to cover our variable ride-height system, Joe, you should know that!"
(hearts) christian
what about the hulk?
and martin:
"I'm not interested in his backside, no!"
:) :)
nein
ah-ha.... petrov?
So Amy after Heikki's girlfriend who is your favorite?
I like Alonso's wife second best :D
hey alex
but I do like Isabell's tweeting so she is rapidly moving up the list. I especially likes it when she tweets to Catherine :D
Hi there... Did you see the pizza man?
I hadn't realised the DD would make as much a difference as 2 seconds. Maybe they are overplaying it because we know they won't be 2sec slower next yr
If I was a betting man I would take a significant chunk of my future earnings and say that there was only 8 people in that room, 4 team bosses, the FOM interviewer, Joe and 2 others!
HA!
are you sure it's a man?
"After the mad dash from Barcelona-to-Grove-to-Monaco, our Comms girl Claire Williams felt she deserved a good night’s sleep yesterday. So she checked into the Quai des Princes hotel, where she was given the keys to a room belonging to a McLaren engineer."
hello!
"When this happened a second time, the hotel fessed up: Claire would have to sleep in one of the hotel’s broom cupboards...They’d clearly underestimated the wrath of Ms Williams and a room was quickly found!"
:)
http://www.attwilliams.com/news/view/1364
We're sure it's a man!
thanx for checking ;)
you are, of course, very welcome

The trial of Nigel Stepney started in Sassuolo, Italy this week. He is accused of trying to sabotage the Ferraris before the 2007 Monaco Grand Prix with white powder. Stepney’s lawyers have indicated that they wish to plea bargain, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport. Stepney himself will appear before the court on May 21.

last link from me before i run away again. vettel managed a purple sector with only three brakes?
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/83599
i saw that, its both impressive and stupid
amazing, but i guess it meant Vettel had to drive smoother. and possibly as a result of that and lighter fuel, he managed to get a good S2 time. also, IIRC, there's only one real heavy braking zone in that sector, right?
:D Well, he managed to finish 3rd, so no harm done, but had he gone off, Schumi woulda been on the podium. Aw shucks...
I'm glad he didn't loose a place but with 3 brakes and a 20 second lead, he really didnt need to be pushing that hard
Still no rain then: http://www.mobypicture.com/user/virginracing/view/6547826
World champion material. ;)
Everyone else had a light fuel load too though surely.
Didn't he lose a place to Alonso? It's all faded into a mystery blur in my head...
To a certain extent, it shows just how good Vettel and the RB6 are.
ah yes, I meant after he'd lost that place and it was clear he'd lost a brake.
Vettel lost the place because he pitted after going off. But the off itself didn't cost him any places.
Ah yes I see. Did he gain anything from pitting really? He could have held that place?
Not sure what they did, to be honest. I think it was to change tyres (after he went off) plus a precautionary check. Can anyone confirm?
That's right. Cause his off into the gravel hurt his tyres (suspected), plus they wanted to see what else they could do (but ended up doing nothing else).
You heard his radio at the time when he went off. It was basically like "AAAAARGH where are the brakes????" He went to the pit, they said oh look no brakes and let him go again...
This was what it was like on the volcano... http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexandronov/4606376670/
Mr C just to let you know, the embed isn't working for me. The box opens up with just a little blue question mark in it.
It doesn't work for me either... I think this has been a problem from before with flickr video... You have to open in new window I think
It's because it is video, I think.
Yeah I got it open in a new tab :)
Why are you up a mountain that's spurting steam???
I stand by my earlier comment.
It's the cap of a volcano you actually walk down into it and it's a real kind of crater type thing... so to answer your question... erm... I'm not sure.
I think you were probably right.
Things Amy won't be doing in Italy number 77: going into a volcano.
Good thinking... It smells a lot.
am i missing something or have the podcasts dried up ?
Here's Scarbs on the Misconceptions of Wheelbase at Monaco... very revealing. Wonder where the idea came from then?
http://scarbsf1.wordpress.com/2010/05/14/monaco-set-up-the-misconption-of-wheelbase/
"With wheelbases over three metres, the difference in team’s wheelbases is just a few percent and not enough to have a primary advantage over the other factors differentiating the cars. Long wheelbase cars have won at Monaco and in testing teams and drivers have never found wheelbase a key factor through tight turns."
Here
the idea, Monaco 2007 when Ferrari had a longer wheelbase car than the McLaren and struggled badly.
at least thats what is in my head :D
Unfortunately yes..
afternoon everyone
Good afternoon leigh
hi marilene,
how are you?
following a near 16-hour working day yesterday, my monaco thursday review will not be up until tonight
needless to say, my brain is slightly fried
:o
Fine so far. It is actually quite fun re-installing stuff onto your com.
Sounds ouch.
yep - hometime will be nice
lots of racing to cover and i still haven't seen the rally new zealand from last week
You should watch it. Quite exciting and incident-filled.
yep - will watch it tonight, before i hit F1 and GP2
indycar practice runs at indy start this weekend too
:)
feature race this morning was pretty epic!
To start the weekend in glorious style, a non-F1 related post:
PING --> Something for the Weekend: Tottenham Hotspurs FC (featuring Chas and Dave) "Ossie's Dream" - http://tinyurl.com/3xzffgd
sweet, a hope it was better than work
:)
Was just catching up on stuff - Indy practice has 2 hours for veterans at 5pm UK, then 4 hours of Rookie Orientation from 7pm. Same Sunday. Probably won't get interesting until later in the week.
true, but with time and money being tight, expect them to be super cautious. a crash could finish the 500 for them early
In the meantime we've got Monaco quali, then Nurburgring 24hrs, and Monaco race... Love May.

LOST fans. Is it just me that finds this scary? http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/99282534/Getty-Images-Entertainment
if christine did that i might buy her some...
I was thinking about this, maybe you should make a small audio announcement and put it in the podcast stream....
It says: Make cable management fun
I think that might be pushing it a bit.
ON IT.
Should they come under Misc or Gadgets?
is there a category called "awesome"?
Misc it is :)
Done.
I concur. Even just Skype yourself a message to save setting up the recording equipment.
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalt
Although it sort of surprises me that people are only just realising, but anyway :)
I don't even recognise him, he's all growed up!
shall order, thanks.
Woah. I've just got a copy of Autosport, someone died in hospital on Tuesday after a heavy crash at Thruxton on Sunday. How has this not been reported else where?!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hampshire/8675762.stm
I'm surprised it hasn't been on Autosport online, its huge news
seeing him reminded me that his story isn't wrapped up. They're so not going to fit in everything they need to fit in! The finale is only a week and a bit away!
Oh no :(
They've already said they won't be and can't! They say that it is the nature of LOST that there will be unanswered questions.
Humph.
Humph indeed. I don't want no Lost Movie a la Sex and the City. I just want it to end and to feel satisfied.
this is why i hate fiction.
Real life doesn't always have answers either.
yes, it does. the answers are just disguised better
yes, like why am I not doing my washing? If I do or don't get it done tonight, either way my two choices for what to wear tomorrow are a) dirty clothes or b) wet clothes. Lose lose.
I listened through itunes without even looking at the website for about 6 months. If the stream had stopped coming, I would probably presume itunes was playing up or something.I'd definitely give it a while before coming to complain about it :P
Buy new ones :D
I have nothing to wear to the shops!
PJs? Victory shirt?
Borrow from your neighbour? Exactly how bad is the dirty clothes situation?
Tie several plastic bags together and make a dress
I am sort of telling myself it's going to be rubbish and I won't be satisfied, so if it ends up being okay, it's a bonus. I'm kinda just glad they get to tell the story they want, rather than it being cancelled halfway through or strung out to death.
real life is annoying enough, why add to that annoyance with extra unanswered questions?
It's pretty bad. I needed to do my washing last Saturday but somehow have strung it out another week. I'm not into the realm of wearing things that are too small or very very old.
now, not not.
Oh dear....
Because they are questions that have no consequence, I guess. In real life, someone will be affected.
I am not sure if you have gotten the most recent episode yet but it made me really angry so I kind of agree.
Uh oh.
I guess if I do some now I only have to get a few things dry in time to wear to work in 12 hours. The McLaren shirts dry pretty fast and that's an acceptable thing to wear to work on a qualy day. I have a few quick drying skirts too. Sorted. I shall go put a load on. Hooray for real life answers!
Edited.
That sounds horrific. Get your family to send some clothes over.
Hello, folks.
He's baaaaaack... Click if you dare.
Go go go!!!
They took a whole hour to tell a story they probably could have put into 10 minutes. Do they not know time is precious?
yay.
i saw his boat in the harbor earlier in the week.
How can you hate fiction? ;)
His yacht was parked in the harbour. I think we expected it.
who let him in? I thought he was hanging out on his boat because he couldn't get into the paddock.
http://twitter.com/alexjsnell/status/13971516568
He doesn't read it.
:D
Indeed. But if you look at the motorhome at the right... he just came from the FIA motorhome, it seems...
How can he not? No wonder he doesn't appreciate fiction. :P
hehe!
i read the first post. it's not my kinda thing.
If you'll only read one fiction story this year, make it this one. ;)
Is it about dragons? :P
How on earth did he get a pass, though... Surely he's banned from even showing up in the paddock?
Another suggestion for Christine's next story. ;)
yaaaaaay, ive missed him
it got revoked by french courts remember?
Well no. They weren't allowed to ban him. I think in theory Red Bull or whoever could hire him as a team principle if they wanted....
but i thought flav and the FIA had a settlement of some sort - 3 years or somesuch, right? that didn't include a paddock ban?
Why would anyone want to replace Christian Horner? :P
Indeed. Can I just say - he's been a very good team principal. For me, the only big mistake he's made is letting go of Geoff Willis...
we have those... they are t'awesome... There were two on the desk in the
"studio"spare room when you were there...Well no. They weren't allowed to ban him. I think in theory Red Bull or whoever could hire him as a team principle if they wanted.... {Comment #229}
Not until 2013, due to a subsequent out-of-court settlement. But it is true that Flavio cannot be banned from the paddock or any non-operational role in F1.
no it didn't. flav cannot work for an f1 team before the end of the year. that's all: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/82844
and pat can start right away: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/82855
Oh I see. Fair enough :P
Christian can breathe easy for now then :D
paywall. :( but it's certainly interesting, considering i thought he wanted no part of f1 anymore, even if the ban was removed...
you don't have an autosport subs?
I wouldn't want to get rid of him, especially given his epic comments to Joe today
you might need this: http://wiki.sidepodcast.com/page/Guide+to+Hanging+Laundry
F1 Racing hired Pat. :D I would think, though, that one of the new teams would be interested in hiring Pat - say, Virgin?
didn't he say the other day, f1 was broken and he knew how to fix it?
nope. haven't seen the need for one, really.
he did? must've missed it.
i'm sure he knows how to fix races. ;)
:D
ahaha
I didn't hear that. I think they do need someone in that team with their head screwed on when it comes to strategy, it's severely lacking. I hear Flav knows where it's at....:P
shouting "CRASH NOW" isn't strategy* ;)
* allegedly
I had not seen this: http://kottke.org/10/05/the-iphone-as-a-controller-for-ipad-games
Way cool.
PUUUUSH!!!!
Christian, on the grid at every race Red Bull Racing has five guys who stand at the back of the car, on each of the cars, hiding something, or not, as the case may be. Are you hiding something, or are you just pretending?
CH: Obviously that's to cover our variable ride-height system, Joe, you should know that!....
oh my!
awesome!
Have you guys ordered yours yet?
I definitely want an iPad....
....and an iPhone
within 5mins of the store coming back up
Excellent... Apparently they've pushed back the delivery date today for people who haven't already had their order placed.
Quick reminder for TMR game players (only had 5 entries so far):
http://toomuchracing.com/2010/05/12/tmr-game-week-16/
it's still going to be a pain to get hold of come christmas.
very handy. The counter thingy tells me it'll be done in 32 minutes.
Is it a megablastic counter thingy?
the floor above mine at work is having a competition and the iPad is a prize. Do you think I can just show up and pretend I work there until the competition ends on July 16?
ta for reminding me, completely forgot
no :( it's just a little screen on the lid of the washing machine :(
Does iPad have USB?
I just realised I haven't opened the pole poll for tomorrow's race... because I haven't closed the pole poll for last week's race because I still don't know the result!
I might watch the highlights tonight.
speaking of you, I recently learned how to make screenshots on the Kindle. Look what I can do!
http://twitpic.com/1nowsb
http://twitpic.com/1nowqn
Not as exciting as the iPad, and the resolution of them is shocking compared to the actual screen, but it beats taking photos of it with a camera :D
afspc?
Woohoo!
for all the random things I once upon a time would have put on the drop :D
ahhhhhh. genius
I have also learned how to play minesweeper

My LCM teams have had two changes for Monaco. In LCM Caro, Webber has replaced Button due to Button no longer being expensive enough for management's tastes. After a below-par performance from Petrov in LCM Dragons, Sutil has resumed his usual place in the team.
Selection stats are therefore:
2 (5) - Senna/Kobayashi/Sutil/Kubica/Hamilton
1 (10) - Massa/de la Rosa/di Grassi/Trulli/Chandhok/Glock/Webber/Vettel/Rosberg/Liuzzi
Everyone else has gone home
I haven't
Neither have I. The office is dead and I don't have a huge pile of work. Fridays :)
Bernie Speaks, and he's missing his buddy http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/83600
"Yes, I miss having Flav about the place. He is good company and he was good for this sport. People associated him with F1. He was a character. We miss Max, too. Max got a lot more right than wrong."
Hmmm.
I'm here lurking on my parents-in-law's humongous laptop. Just survived three days of being invaded by my nieces and their parents - was hectic and a lot of fun, helped along by monster sessions of Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympics on the Wii ;)
He just misses F1 being controversial.
Sounds busy but family can be fun. I do like that game, particularly with alcohol :)
Half an hour until I'm allowed to leave, wondering if I can get away with a blog post or if I'll wait til later..
It is surprisingly fun for sure!

#sidepodspace
The shuttle is due to launch in just under 3 hours time and everything is going according to plan. NASA TV www.nasa.gov/ntv is live and will be there until well after the launch. Weather is as usual the only obvious possible concern a this time but is 70% green and generally that is enough to almost guarantee a launch.
I won't be back online until about an hour before the launch. So I will see you all then.
Bye.

he was spotted talking with Bernie outside Bernie's London offices last month...a return on the cards perhaps?!

"a forum of the various IndyCar bloggers will take place on Saturday morning, May 29, at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway from 9:00-10:00am, tentatively scheduled to be held in the trackside media center, just north of the Pagoda. This event will be open to the public"
that's the day before the 500
the crash story is bunkem though: http://www.crash.net/f1/news/159705/1/magny-cours_on_stand-by_should_korea_fail_to_make_the_grade.html
Former long-time French Grand Prix host Magny-Cours could be in-line for a suprise return to the F1 2010 calendar - should Korea not get its act together quickly enough...
I thought I saw mention of that yesterday in a retweet, first thought "surely not".. I gave up believing Crash a long time ago
I thought Crash were connected to AUTOSPORT somehow?
Nope, Autosport are Haymarket and Crash.net is part of the Crash media group
Hooray! My goodness - Part 9 already?! That's gone quick.
As if that'll happen. :P Rubbish editor, too.
Ooh I just saw Lewis Hamilton's helmet with the roulette wheel in it - looks like a weird copy of Jackie Stewart's mixed with Senna's!

Oooh. Like that one! :)

Dinner Time. See you later guys!
i figured you might
http://twitpic.com/1nq5sb
I want a MASSIVE wave to hit the boat.
That would make me very happy :D
oooh, random button gives me episode 4: http://sidepodcast.com/2007/01/28/episode-4-new-car-launches/
retro baby!
Evening all
he's back!
#sidepodspace
45 minutes to launch and everything seems to be going to plan. Weather is still 70%
Steeeeeeeven!!
Why are you so happy?
#sidepodspace
Piers Sellers (called MS4 on all radio chat) was born in England.
I'm not really. I'm just excitable. I need to calm down I think, I'm going out for a meal in a minute. I don't want to get thrown out.
Do we have any lurkers out there who have never said hello to us before? Maybe we have one or two lurkers who are into the space stuff. Good day to say hello in that case. :)
Hello!
Oh, wait, I'm not a lurker. But I do like space stuff.
You expect to be thrown out for being excitable? Has any alcohol been harmed to help you get in that state?
No drunkenness no. I have been kicked out of a restaurant before though :D
I don't think you qualify as a lurker. I know there are lurkers out there and I am determined to get one at least to come and say hello. We had a good few turn up a couple of weeks ago so it's time we had a new one
#blamenick
I could change my name and pretend to be sane for 10 minutes if that makes you feel better?
hello and whatnot
If the shuttle has to land in Europe because of engine or other problems they plan to go to Zaragoza in Spain
Hahaha sadly no. If Nick got me thrown out of somewhere I wouldn't be in the slightest bit impressed!!
There is no gain in that. Besides you are going out and abandoning us unless you are going to live stream your meal from shiny
Hi Leigh
hi steven
Is getting thrown out your job?
30 minutes to the shuttle launch and everything looking good. Weather now 90% green. I think we are going to get a launch
bol are having a leaving party for tom: http://cnettv.cnet.com/9776-19709_53-50087418.html
am watching that and nasa at the same time :)
Stream loaded and clear
evening again
Hiya guys
Me and two friends were asked to leave another friend's birthday meal by staff :D To be fair, that wasn't really my fault, I was just bundled in as a troublemaker....
hey lukeh and leigh
and pat
NASA found a ball bearing in the payload bay but they are not sure where it came from or if something is faulty.
Wasn't me your honour. Honest
Why hello Mr C
Read the comments from last night before work this morning concerning mini mr c , they made for amusing moments :)
Technically wouldn't that make me 'Mini me'? I am a bit tall for that
Lou said you didn't read back in the comments. She is in for a surprise
Heheh
@HKovalainen: Amber fashion starting right now... http://twitpic.com/1nqka5
@rubarrichello: @H_Kovalainen you should be in the engineers now...hahahaha
He's obviously just very discrete :D
Ehhhhhh........
I always read back in the comments! Lou is silly :)
You don't think he is being creepy checking up on his girfriend behind her back to see what she is saying about him beind his back?
Hahaha! Oops :)
He's replied now :)
RT @rubarrichello: @H_Kovalainen you should be in the engineers now...hahahaha Been there all day already have you?!
Not really. It's public. I can tell when Nick has read things I've said because he can't think things and keep them in his head :P
NASA have decided the stray ball bearing is not an issue even though there is no ball bearing missing from where they said it came from!!!
It is from a mount for astronauts cameras (hypothetically and therefore shouldn't cause any issue
oh yikes
Okayy well I'll see you folks later xx
So they took something apart, put it back together and there were parts left over? That's most blokes isn't it?
Have fun and don't get thrown out
They found a stray ball bearing in the payload bay. The payload bay has been closed for ages so they have been trying to figure out where it came from. I assume whoever found it originally figured if he left it in the payload bay then they would have it in space with them if they needed it.
All mission controllers polled and all said go for launch. 12 minutes to launch.
Commander justsaid something in Russian, I only understood the last work which means let's go
T-9 minutes and counting
I only have a 40 second delay in the video. Best ever
looking good here
I have no idea what delay I have, clock shows 5:50
5 minutes to go to launch. Unless there is a late technical issue the shuttle is going to fly.
Check against http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/main/index.html
I am watching it on Danish news right now...
I notice the BOL cameras spend all their time on Molly and Veronica.
Fine by me!
:)
claire williams:
I’m lucky to be alive because I accidentally walked onto the track this morning while the GP2 race was going on! All the marshals shouted at me and I was quickly back into position, let me tell you.
oops!
http://www.attwilliams.com/news/view/1368
Just over a minute
You would think she would know better by now
That's good. I regularly get 2 minute delays
Silly question - but did she not hear the cars?
3 minutes to go and everything is OK
Ooh good point, BBC News Channel has it too
ipod?
As per usual, the Danish Commentator is talking as if you have never heard of the space shuttle before...
Wow that's... quite hard to do?
1 minute to go
i would've thought so.
Looks like a good launch. SRB jettison soon
I always get nervous watching live shuttle launches. Glad to see the SRB's gone...
Once they get through throttle up I am OK
2 engine TAL means they can go trans-Atlantic on 2 engines
that was ace.
Negative return means they cannot go back to Kennedy
Looked like a very nice launch. Tank separation in 3 minutes ish
ATO means abort to orbit
My mother in law got bored, so I am watching it on NASA TV. We are watching Ice hockey now???
Is this the final shuttle launch??
What can you say
2 more minimum
nasa have a lucky dog?
#nothere
Pole Poll available now: http://sofaf1.com/2010/05/14/monaco-pole-poll-3/
Jon if you have not done your McNish interview yet I would love to know why he switched to having a Monaco flag on his car and overalls last year but is back to a saltire again this year
No idea what he meant
BBC online had
"BREAKING NEWS: FINAL SHUTTLE LAUNCH"
Tankseparation about now
This is the final scheduled Atlantis launch
It's Atlantis' final launch.
Tank sparation looked good. No significant debris I could see
ah ok
bbc are full of fail today
i shall add it to the list, ta
How long does it take for the tank to fall back down and how do they control where it goes?
It is parachuted to ground without any control. I don't know the time but it must take a while from that height. There is a ship in the area where it is due to drop and an area of ocean is cleared of all shipping. Same for the SRBs
Have you seen the youtube clip where protestors turn on the sky news crew covering the protest?
They start shouting "SKY NEWS IS S...! WATCH THE BBC!!!"
in eddie's band, eddie plays a box. which he sits on.

I was on HIGNFY
Can't say I saw you ;)

Am I the only person looking at the first pic and thinking Thunderbird one?
http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2010/05/first_of_the_last_space_shuttl.html
The restaurant is on fire! I knew i'd have to leave!
I thought if you got thrown out it would be for being boisterous. Didn't think you would torch the place
what???
it has kathi's waterfall in it too
hehehehehehe, nope
Jackie Stewart talking about giving yourself and your car Valium.
Awesome.
ah iplayer is working, will watch FP now..
Where?
Does that beat the melted mars bar analogy?
worth adding for when lou arrives that, aside from the jonsi soundtrack and the picturesque scenery, the video was shot on a canon 5d mkII dslr.
Basically it's full of win!
Checkered Flag podcast thingy
alex paps bernie: http://flic.kr/p/827Qnb
Thanks
Now Mother in Law is watching the news. For the third time tonight. It's as if since 2 hours ago that the whole world has changed!!!
Kinda scratching my head as to why there's a fuselage of a DC 3 sitting out there in the middle of nowhere :)
i might be watching it for the sixth time
we'll have to ask kathi :)
Flavio is at a race?
and in the paddock.
She should have a lap top on her knee for live updates of the news
have i posted the joke apple advert here? just in case: http://yfrog.com/83n4fp
hahahaha, that's a good one.
We have to start using that lego brick as a metaphor
Saw it on Twitter. Thanks, that was interesting reading about that!
blue lego block of ambiguity
i guess when bernie says one thing but means another?
I don't think there are enough blue lego bricks in existence for that.
I have the laptop. She only uses it plugged into AC Power at a desk, next to a wireless printer that never works.
Seriously folks, when my nieces came to stay my sister in law gives me the 10-year old camera that I gave my niece last year as a pressie and says 'Empty it.' Even though I gave them the cable and the software they never thought to do it at their house.
Cue half an hour of faffing about because naturally it doesn't work on Windows 7, so I had to copy the CD to a memory stick and install the software on my netbook. Pointless!
Mine is always plugged in but it is also always on my knee.
Some people are just convinced that technology is difficult. It took me ten years to convince my mother that you didn's need 5 years of specialist training to browse the net and send e-mails. Eventually I bought her a laptop and told her to play solitaire to get used to the mouse. I got a load of grief about how that was a waste of time and she had booked a training course. First thing she was told at the training course was play solitaire to get used to a mouse. Some times you just can't win
Some great photos in that Boston set although I am convinced number 20 is a wind up
I love it :)
Kathi, Finland will have 25 degrees next week. Why can't we have some?
Kathi is in Iceland so she won't get it either
Boo.
Sounds familiar. Teenagers are like that too :s
Reminds me of a great story - long time Apple user decides to buy his Grandmother (who has never used a computer before) a Mac. He has it shipped to her house, calls her to tell her it is on its way and that he will be over at the weekend to set it all up. The day it arrives he receives an email from her telling him she's figured it out already :)
Just read and voted on http://smarterthanyouraverage.com/2010/05/14/life-in-the-fast-lane-ii-part-9/
:D
Legend!
You shouldn't always run your portable from the mains because the battery will fail faster if you do. Always discharge/charge at least monthly.
I never use it on the battery except when I forget to plug it in. Battery life is rubbish anyway.
The results from the custom vote are fantastic :D
Probably because you've not been discharging/charging it regularly ;)
Love to know who voted Damon Hill.
Evening folks
It has been rubbish since day one
I found that result so funny I geniunely nearly spat out my drink when I went through the list and saw that, such an random idea. Kudos, mystery person.
I love it how he got included in the next part - nicely done Christine!
Hmm. My work laptop is an HP that lives on a dock. I had a battery fail last year and I asked them if this was a factor and they said no, even though the rest of the planet says yes.
I guess it goes without saying that I don't exactly trust IT!
Vettel's brake disc split straight down the middle. How can that possibly happen?
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/83599
Too thin to save weight, or inadequate cooling because of the placement of the disks low down to lower COG?
A mix of all this and more I should imagine, just a freak failure I guess
it's a red bull, are we surprised?
Me too :)
Is this Claire Wiliams's safety advisor?
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/4/20100514/toddly-trainspotter-gets-lucky-escape-cc3a409.html
It seems odd it would split straight down the middle. That has to be a manufacturing or material problem surely
Just a shout out for anyone who does not already do daily posts, you are welcome to write tonight's daily post for tomorrow if ya like. Not that I'm trying to shirk my responsibilities, you understand.
:)
Considering it :)
I'm trying to get my head into blogger mode because I want to write a couple of posts tonight.
for mini me:
Been on hold with @mediatemple for 24 min 13 sec but at least they're playing Muse
Christine, I've just read your first A-Z entry. Please tell me Bletchley Park is your B.
Great call. What a brilliant suggestion.
I didn't know you could go there.
:P
Well they have good taste
Ah, Mr C says he would like to go there too. He is not invited on my A-Z tour so we'll have to go together another time.
It's only about a mile from my house. http://bletchleypark.org.uk/
Hm. A post I wrote purely to work my head out when I was down has ended up publishing... it was supposed to go into drafts... Deleted now.
Ah. Well I'd be more than happy to give you both the tour :)
That's weird.
Jeremy Clarkson can't handle a Reliant Robin. OOPS
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1278397/Jeremy-Clarkson-escapes-unharmed-overturning-Reliant-Robin.html
I must have done it wrong. I scheduled it, then went back later and moved it. Ah well.
"Luckily Clarkson was wearing a protective helmet and was unharmed in the accident."
sounds like a set up
NASA launch press conference strongly suggesting that the last shuttle mission won't be the last.
Also there is a lump of debris heading towards the ISS and is due to arrive on Sunday.
It clearly wasn't a normal road accident but seems to have happened on a public road.
bit harsh on atlantis, that
I would be surprised if it wasn't, im sure they got some roads closed when they were doing it
:D
WOW
Chris Evans has bought another old Ferrari. 250GTO is the best Ferrari ever according to a lot of people
http://uk.cars.yahoo.com/14052010/36/chris-evans-spends-millions-classic-ferrari-0.html
hey all
Hi Lou.
Get your crash helmet ready. Lukeh has been comment trawling
hehehe he text me and told me :D hehe!
speaking of crash helmets we were on the way home today and we saw a guy drive past in a VW polo wearing a helmet.. it was very very odd.
Perhaps it was Jeremy Clarkson...
If it was on its roof it could have been Clarkson
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1278397/Jeremy-Clarkson-escapes-unharmed-overturning-Reliant-Robin.html
It hasn't appeared in my feed reader...
hehe it was a full helmet.. like an F1 one.. very odd
Are you sure it wasn't the Stig or Mr C being anonymous?
must have been mr c cause it wasn't a white helmet..
was it black? could have been the old stig?
ooh lou, did you and em get anywhere with the sleeping panda's cause we have a new request...
ooooo!!! 5live f1 radio show/ podcast on 5 live now!
eeeeeeekkk hearing Ant is awesome :) i have missed him.
i asked her. she said she'd do it over the weekend... what's the new request? :)
Ping - http://betterwithakeyboard.wordpress.com/2010/05/14/song-of-the-day-1-youthmovies-the-naughtiest-girl-is-a-monitor/
Ah ok, most odd. Ta.
ooh thanx.
we need to sort out 404 error page (the one that appears when you type in a non-existent web page), at the moment it's blank:
http://sidepodcast.com/fail/
we're thinking we could do we a cute panda looking a bit lost?
ooo nice idea. I'm on it. :)
any size preferable?
as an aside, ollie has/had the best f1 404 error page i ever saw:
http://snogf1.com/404
600px wide or bigger would give us some leeway, presumably it'll be a drawing scanned in?
That is cool - but why has his domain changed to SnogF1?
yep, unless Em wants an excuse to use her tablet :)
she has a tab..... oh wow!
now i want her to use the tablet.
not a clue, i have no idea where he is?
Something about, he didn't renew BlogF1 by accident, so he redirected it. Although it never worked for me, so who knows.
Mr C,
Didn't you have a video for Lou?
it's a baby one.. like A5.. and very old, but she does alot of awesome drawings with it. :) her art is brilliant! :)
ooh, i forgot. for you: http://vimeo.com/11673745
have seen it :)
*lou
ehhehehe! okay will ask :)
canon 5d baby!
In that case Mr C found us some great photos to go with today's launch
http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2010/05/first_of_the_last_space_shuttl.html
The only place I've seen him lately is Facebook, and he's in lurve... :)
it's like yoko ono all over again :)
hehehe :D okay.. i admit.. it is rather awesome, and it is a good idea to have video on a dslr.. :)
YESS!
i still don't like canon though... but i now want to go to Iceland and video some awesome things..
That was a quick change
you should see our new lift, well worth photographing
have you seeeeen the video! i don't want it on my camera.. but i've always had a bit of an urge to try video... and well.. that does look awesome.
Stirling Moss's last words before ...........
not that Iceland...
Is there a video component in your uni course. Good skill to learn
Crofty is walking through Monaco...and Holly is betting in the casino.. hehehehe! this is funny
i love Crofty
:D
i think the first term is looking at all types of photographic technics, video might be included.
Good
:D
Just on photography, how did they make these Supercup cars look like toys?
http://axisofoversteer.blogspot.com/2010/05/porsche-supercup-monaco-2010.html
I really do have to get that album
I guess we are back to tilt panning or whatever it is called. It was discussed here months ago for something else
Excellent :D
a Tilt Shift lens i should think :) either that or some editing which does the same thing as tilt shift..
you really really really do.
tilt shift. but get this, because you can shoot video with the same camera, you can get the same effect with moving pictures too.
it's gonna be one of those things that everybody will overdo though.
it seems a common photographic technique for street circuits. Last used in Singapore i think..
:o
its like scalextric
Tilt shift. That's the chappy. Couldn't think of the proper name.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt_shift
i'm sold on the video thing.. :P
I was expecting to see a groove in the road!
Put it on full screen, its amazing
Ah okay. I had no idea what you were talking about then :)
trying to find a good video example, this one is close: http://vimeo.com/11373013
It's like it's a tenth of the size of real life!
wow!
surprised bernie hasn't advocated the concept :)
He probably wants a lens that does the opposite so that he can make Scalextric look real and avoid having a race or drivers
Here's a great article from ScarbsF1 about wheelbase and car setup for Monaco: http://scarbsf1.wordpress.com/2010/05/14/monaco-set-up-the-misconption-of-wheelbase/
omg! iplayer is working!!! :) i can watch Free Practice!!!! (hearts) lots of Ant, Crofty, Ted, Holly and Monaco!! :)
Steven I've been searching the Audi picture archives and last year (and years before) Allan had a saltire on car and overalls. I cant find any pictures of the monaco flag
Right, I'm off to bed - will miss the Grand Prix because I'm off to a wedding in deepest, darkest Jutland and won't be back until Sunday evening.
Enjoy the race everybody!
Have a good one, the race will be there when you get back..
I spotted it last year and I am sure I mentioned it here. I am sure at Le Mans he had the Monaco flag.
Night Gavin
there are no words for how much i love Monaco.. i don't even care if the race is boring on Sunday..
http://www.audi-press.co.uk/motorsport/databank/images/nishhelm.jpg
Le Mans 2009
He races under a Monaco licence I think
Thanks guys - I was just about to turn the computer off and I was sent a link to a video about Mark Blundell promoting Caravan holidays: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HOpjSkwiXA
You HAVE to see it - it's cringeworthingly hilarious!
Good night!
Well worth wot' is worth watching.
Night Gavin
night :)
Technically you weren't sent it, DoctorVee tweeted it.. :)
vee8 even, same thing
I assumed that was why he had switched.
He is better at presenting that than he was at F1
He's surprisingly good at presenting that, he should do one of those holiday shows
Wot in the World is Carmen Sandiego
I haven't found any pictures of a Monaco flag yet but if you can find a picture of it i'll ask
also worth a look, the ending is especially good: http://vimeo.com/11662117
I am looking and I can't find one anywhere. I know he used one because I almost fell out my chair when I first saw it.
BBCF1:
Red Bull's Mark Webber and BBC pundit Eddie Irvine talk about the glitz and glamour of Monaco and give their thoughts on Sunday's Grand Prix.
Oops
that's two weeks in a row
Can't wait to see how BBC commentator Martin Whitmarsh does
:)
maybe they are trying to hint at something...
didn't realise axis had f1 tilt shift pics too. mini motorhome: http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/4603603883/
Eddie Irvine is worth something ridiculous in terms of millions, something I've never totally understood considering he spent most of his career under the wrath of Darth and underperforming in a gorgeous car
Mostly from property deals.
THat is ridiculous
I could break that with my finger
???*
*i know nothing of his career..
jag
ehehehehehehe!
Ahhh, never knew he was into that business too.
Jordan
Eddie Irvine for me was the epitome of 'meh'. Plus he was an arrogant so and so at goodwood. Hmph.
which may be where some confusion arises... Irv drove for EJ
Correct. What a livery.
Eddie Irvine started with nothing and made a million playing the stock market. He was making so much money from that and racing in Japan that he turned Jordan down initially becuase he thought racing i F1 would cost him money.
Like this?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/loujohnson/2677157557/in/set-72157606223805854/

okay.
one more, and then i have to stop looking before i buy expensive things i later regret: http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/4604218048/

Totally! No as nice as the Brawn though but it looked sooooooo good on tv :)
Thats much better
is that a drawing? that's ace.
Bet no-one has done a podcast in tilt shift. Just a thought. Not a suggestion at all. Really.
hmmmmm
Jaguar is 100x better than the Brawn...
#anyopportunity...
i'm hoping Farnham have a tilt shift lens in their camera rental shop.... *ehem* :)
The Jaguar is an all-time classic F1 livery.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkQsTSg9_5E
Unfortunately they were even more fragile then than they are now...
PS - I really really really really really miss V10s
I am sure they welcome suggestions
most of their lenses are Nikon.. and i noticed some larger lenses at the back of the store too.. :D am excited for the possibilities with my motorsport :D
corrected cause i pressed tab+enter too quickly. lol
I can't find a picture with McNish and a Monaco flag. The only thing I have found is the comment below this youtube vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufUtOLLblLo
That's my problem too
Hello, I'm home. I managed to get food despite nature's best efforts.... I appear not to have been burnt alive :P
mr c has made commenting too easy
You managed not to torch anywhere else?
hey Alison, did you have a nice time?
I went to have a meal and just as we were ordering we had to evacuate as the kitchen was on fire.... So on the whole my evening was eventful!!
oh my goodness!
its very odd and it rings bells, i just cant find it anywhere and ive looked right back to '04
Luckily no real damage was done. I think it was just a chimney fire. It was all out and sorted pretty quickly.
It was definitely inthe very recent past and the comment on that video suggests it was 2009. I was surprised when I saw he was using the saltire again this season
Jenson pics for Lou. I search for McNish and get Button

looks like Jules is filming... we never saw this clip :( bad times.
Ant is talking about Goodwood on the 5live comms.. i wonder if he'll be there this year *hopes*
she's been filming for three years. what the hell is she doing with them all??
How can you tell that is Jules? Do you have her fingerprints on file?
you've got irvine in there too
There are all sorts of people but I figured the only two that would be of interest to any one would be the Jenson pics for Lou
the crash story is bunkem though: http://www.cra...o_make_the_grade.html {Comment #289}
Thank you for that. It gave me a much-needed laugh.
i really wish i knew! Clips used to be posted here - http://jensonbutton.com/#/Media/Latest/
but there are loads that aren't... and it seems that she doesn't film everything... she wasn't filming at Bluewater, or Selfridges.. but often does at Goodwood. Very strange..
well... i went to goodwood.. and there were no other women with him.. plus when Jules is around she's often wearing a suit...
and that's the same make of video camera she usually is seen with...
Not a stalker
We have our Damon Hill culprit: http://smarterthanyouraverage.com/2010/05/14/life-in-the-fast-lane-ii-part-9/#comment-1869
she's right: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sidepodcast/2705863079/
like mr c said... she's been filming for 3 years!
in eddie's band, eddie plays a box. which he sits on. {Comment #401}
OK, who borrowed his drumkit?
he's invented the compact kit :)
Looks like the same ring too. Add that to the file Lou
