It's the weekend, and also Carl Edwards birthday today. He's a NASCAR driver, I know, but we seem to be branching out all the time, so that shouldn't worry you. Here are some of the other things we're talking about:
- We've put up an impromptu podcast, taking the moderately time-sensitive interview we did with Gavin for Sidepodradio. As he mentions some 'recent' blog posts, we thought it wouldn't be fair to leave it until the revised date in September. Therefore, enjoy Gavin's thoughts on blogging, and let us know if you'd like to take part.
- RG has set up a wiki page with information about your Last.fm profiles. If you're a user of the music-sharing site, then update the page and let us know where to find you. We are still having the Last.fm vs. Spotify discussion as well, so if you have thoughts on that, please chime in.
- We've been having lots of fun over the last couple of days with various methods of live streaming. If you're near a computer, it's worth having the playground page open, as you never know when someone is going to go live. Equally, let us know if you've got a live stream that could be included on there.
That'll do it for now. Lovely Saturday is here, so let us know what you're up to as ever. I will see you in the comments.
Hello new daily
:)
Bonjour Nouveau Daily.
To carry on with traditon.
Mario Thiessen.
I've said it, lets move on.
Surely its Bonjour Nouveau Tous les jours
Could be complicated if this were French.
Hello new thread... :D
So final thoughts on the live thing... I think that ustream is best except for the adverts.
Justin.tv is poor but the archive works well
and Qik is just madness!
i'd agree. i'm just trying to upload the replay...
The ads didn't really bother me but Ustream is by far the best.
Interestingly there is an option on ustream which says, "when on pc use high quality encoder" do you think that's higher than we've seen yet or is the mac always using that?
Have you looked at Stickam?
(hoping for more trippy 4 way camera madness)
you need this:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/flashmediaencoder/
it's what we use. it's pc only, but it'll give you the best encoding quality because it doesn't use flash. it is however, a bugger to set up.
RG gonna go. Feelin sleepy and big day tomorrow, gannin paintballin. Early start, so don't expect RG a lot tomorrow.
Though, this spotify is awesome.
also these guys:
http://www.livestream.com/
When I say tomorrow I mean today. Damn those 11 minutes
night rg :)
Night!!
yesss :D
Night RG
Night RG. Don't get shot.
I do have one more laptop with a camera in it...
Nighty Night RG Doven't get shot or owt.
omg!
But now I have to go to bed...
Good night everyone!
Thanks for all the sidepodlove :)
opened ones mouth.
night alex, and thank you!
And I'm really sorry to Christine and Mr C for ruining their movie!
I'm thinking of a word that escapes me...
The Apple XXXXX's that are free to use, they get used on jingles + adverts etc. The word escapes me, any ideas?
My advice is - WEAR GLOVES.
'Night Alex
Ok :(
How many different video uploading platforms are there?
Haha, hugh jackman used to sing musicals... spotify rules
loops.
Night Alex
aha, the mans a genius. ta
Loops?
it's a competitive market. we haven't even thought about giggles using sidepodserver.
Many. There used to be one called Operator 11, where you could switch to other users with webcams, and make a complete show. Gone by the wayside now.
Night!
What are you opening yourselves up to here?
hehe. one careful owner, used mostly on sundays.
:)
And for going to the shops.
He now wants to put four feeds up with his new laptop camera. He is going to kill your bandwith.
:)
sidepodserver is in dublin. it's expensive, but to a man with four webcams, i'm guessing no big deal.
Propose a webcam amnesty, where all webcams are sent to Giggles HQ.
Rain cooled?
What do media temple do then?
Amy is supposed to be sending a feed from Albert Park in a few hours then from Ikea
sadly not.
mt host the main website (for the time being), the live server is a separate thing,
I suspect this will happen whilst we are all asleep
what i saw:
Aha
Hehe... awesome that it is recorded :D
we have to do more of this.
Bet she won't look for wood based solutions to propping up the laptop screen.
Wasn't so much what i saw, but what i heard. Several times over
Here's a start on my review of Mutemath's album.
http://woodwiss.wordpress.com/2009/08/14/review-mutemath-by-mutemath/
Is skype working normally for everyone.. it is really bad for me tonight
*starts up skype* Yeah. it's ok here. Don't use it, but it goes on. :)
Speak? Having a laugh aren't ya?
I've just watched the recorded link and it reminds me of those late 80s/early 90s "Yoof" programs like Network 7
The test call sounds like morse code for me... i have no idea what it is
ok, so i'm ready to watch a film... now...
Ha ha, know what you mean.
it's a sequence of short and long pips to represent the letters and numbers.
Grrr better be a John Hughes one Grrr
:P
Watch Airplane...
christine's fast asleep. ahh, next week then.
:D
Or a Hitchcock, or an Audrey Hepburn one. We're watching a load of classics at the mo. Conclusion, Jimmy Stewart better than Pacino or De Niro.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YV5h6xzGKo
Surely you can't be serious?
For classics, you have to watch Strangers On A Train. You must watch it.
I'm not falling for that one, but don't call me Shirley.
If you had DVDs you wouldn't have to wait for one to download.
sadly that isn't the problem.
Spoilt for choice then?
christine sleeping.
I think its more Christine = Zzzz
We need FOTA to breakaway again so you can wake her up?
Pffff. Excuses excuses!
Ah. That doesn't usually stop me, LPG being asleep I mean, obviously my film viewing has no connection with Christine being awake or not.
hehehehe.
Franck with Panda news.
The internet is really just a way for me to listen to old bad music
not really in the mood to watch one by meself. i shall bid y'all a goodnight instead.
Sleep seems like a good plan now I've sobered up a bit. Goodnight all
Are you not allowed to watch movies unsupervised yet?
night janna.
What are you listening to? Let uncle SB guide you. What are you after?
heheheh. that too :)
Goodnight Mr C
Goodnight Sir. One bids one a hearty farewell.
Good night Mr C
Night Janna
Night Mr C, sleep well
Night Janna
Night MrC and Janna
Shame Lukeh's not around. Doesn't he know Muse's new album is up on iTunes to pre-order?!?!
He certainly does now!
Hehehe :D
If I were him, I'd wait for 7digital to do a special offer. They sometimes put albums out for £5 at 320kbps MP3.
But the force may be too strong for Master Lukeh
Hola all
I cant imagine that will be for a while though, he'll want it now :D
Morning! How are you?
Evening, hows the sunshine state?
Hi Joe
They do new albums at that price.
Very nice, hurricane season with no hurricanes....the best weather ever
By the way, plans are being finalized for the Sidepodcast Luca Badoer fan club meeting.
In fact, a lot of old Muse albums are on there for £5.49, He mentioned Absolution being their finest hour. Should I buy?
Does that mean a visit to FLA?
Sure, since Luca is Italian, I've decided Budweiser will be the drink....it's all that's in my fridge.
Dont tempt fate now!
What I said was a quote from Earnest Hemmingway. Yes, I have seen whats off Africa. I'm concerned, But if you follow it's path right now, it's a direct hit, which is good, because their tracks change so much over the course of their lives
Lukeh, if you are reading this now (or at a later date) play.com are selling The Resistance Limited Edition CD/DVD at £12.99
link if you're interested:
http://www.play.com/Music/CD/4-/11416894/The-Resistance/Product.html
iTunes has the album for £7.99
Ah but is it "Limited Edition"? :)
No but still...
I havent heard anything about it... It does seem to have been a very quiet season so far though
It's barely anything yet, but the SHIPs models have it as a potential major hurricane next week. www.weatherunderground.com will tell you all about it. Hoping windshear has it's way with it
Best of luck with that! Are you in an exposed area?
Are you prepared for it just in case?
I'm in SW Fla so we seem to think we are, but got our asses kicked 5 yrs and 2 days ago by Charlie. I'm thinking it's time for the Atlantic Seaboard to bear the brunt. Hurricanes do nothing but complicate my life
Yes, I am. I will check on my parents over the next couple days to make sure they are squared away.
I am really glad we don't get those here. Looking after the family would be quite the worry
I would think thats putting it mildly!
Do you have to work when they are going to hit?
For some reason people like to retire where they hit..... Im looking at you, family in Qld...
yes, I am a firefighter, so I am stuck. I cannot evacuate, then afterwards have to return to my island and to damage assessments.
Luckily my parents have retired in part to the NSW south coast. A little less risky
Your island? You aren't secretly Richard Branson are you?
Aha, revealed! :)
Not even close. I work for Sanibel Fire/Rescue. I call it my island, but can't afford to live on it. But it's a great place to biking and running
Too late Richard in Fla
So you are on the gulf side. Thst's interesting
Yes, thst is. :)
Yeah, you can google earth it. Had our 4th alligator attack in 8yrs a few days ago. Non fatal, but the woman was trembling
Looks really nice... I still need t get to key west one day. I have done the whole west coast of the US, but just NY in the east
Sounds like Nth Qld. I think the crocs normally leave no trace though. They are a bit bigger than alligators.
Looks less populated than the east side? I've heard some not-so-good stuff about that side of Fla
A 6.5 ft. gator got a landscappers hand, she kicked it until it let go and we showed up, bandaged her up and sent her to the hospital, apparently gator mouths are full of bacteria.
Nasty critters
Yeah, it embarrasses me that we are put in that light. The west coast of Florida has some very nice small towns that concentrate on fishing and tourism. Sanibel is very sedate...and expensive. In the summer though, it's hot... and cheap.
I fricking hate gators. I go bass fishing alot and have to deal with them.
Ha. Must be like King Fish fishing - you jsut get a nice big one and bam! shark bites half of it off
Shotgun? Or just hit them with a big stick?
You can't choose your neighbors. I was sure there was still some great spots around there. Shame the retirees have pushed up real estate so much though. It's happening on the coast here too.
One of the attacks a couple years ago, was a fatality. A landscapper was near the edge of a lake and a 12ft. gator came out of the water and got her. She eventually died because of the bacteria. The reason I say this is because our Maintenance man at my fire department went home for lunch and she was next door. He went into the water and fought the gator for her and won, though the damage had been done. A 65 year old diabetic was a hero that day. I was pissed he did not get enough recognition for his actions.
real estate is dirt cheap right now, there are alot of foreclosures.
They would laugh at a shotgun. An Fn/FAL with a 7.62 round would do the trick
That really takes some guts. Those things are frightening up close. I think 2 or 3 people died here in the lats year from croc attaks. To dive in and fight one off - amazing
I agree, Jimmy will always have my respect. Sanibel cops shot at the gator about 25 times as it was coming back at the crew working on the woman and eventually killed it.
Are those legal where you live?
Yeah, if i wanted to drop $1500. Though I do take my 9mm fishing with me.
I dont really get fishing at all... I think a handgun might make it a bit more interesting:P
There is a campaign in my area to disrupt them as apparently they are buying up all the river banks and ruining the waterways
Are you talking about fishing? I learned in Boy Scouts that you leave an area better than you found it. Take your trash home with you and don't litter, too bad other people don't follow these princples
Its not that... private clubs are buying up the banks and denying everyone else access. in one place they tried to stop boat traffic for a few hours a day.
Yeah, that's BS. I have run into few animal rights activists that try and disrupt my fishing. They make asses out of themselves. I practice catch and release, so me and the fish get something out of our encounter
Headed outside for a few beers. Nice talking to you guys.
See ya later..
Im gonna head to bed
cya Joe. Very interesting comments.
See ya Joe. I have renovations to do.....
See you Nick.
See you all, I'm heading to bedfordshire soon. Night all.
Morning, everyone.
For Amy: Vettel sings - in Finnish!
Urghh, am gonna feel SO rough when I wake. Great night out resulting in an invite to Sweden. Really must stop meeting such hospitable people (who happen to be be exceptionally lovely)
Well, that sentance ended wrongly, must be time for sleeps
On last.fm I actually deleted my account, set up another and deleted it. I got frustrated with the syncing with the ipod. Not that I have anything against the site and I will probably rejoin if they improve the scrobbler.
I didn't leave the house today. Sorry :D
Morning everyone!
Hope all is well in Sidepodworld
Amy do you know the term slugabed?
aye, seen that already, Kathi uploaded that a while ago. I'd like it if he wasn't so "previously likeable" :D
noooo?
I'm not saying nothing:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/slugabed
google tells me that I am one. I woke up at 3pm! I lie though, I did leave the house with my two very hungover flatmates to go get some nachos.
mmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnn naaaaaaaaaaaachhhhhhhhhhooooooooooos
my flatmate said "we'd better get a plate each, I'm really hungry"
BIGGEST PLATE EVER. We both left more than half behind. I promptly fell into a cheese-related coma.
mmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnn chhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeesssssse
My opinion - yes.
Lukeh's opinion - DO IT. DO IT. DO IT NOW!
MUSE PARTY
Hey Scott, not sure if you're still around... But I noticed something quite ironic... I left a comment on your post about how annoying it is when people ignore things that you say... And it's been stuck in moderation for about 5 days!
http://woodwiss.wordpress.com/2009/08/09/my-problem-with-ignorance/
Anyway I thought it was funny :)
Maaaawwwwwnin'
:D
Good morning Jon. Any JON NEWS?
How did the cling film go?
Jon is very sleepy today
Didn't do it in the end, forgot to buy cling film, so will do it tonight probably. :D
Hows Alex?
Good. Top form I'd say :)
I have an apple related question for the techy people here.
I am just doing some stuff on the ol' PC, not on iTunes, not listening to any music when this pop-up appears:
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/2-jpg
And then iTunes opens by itself with this one:
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/1-jpg
It's not even a song I have downloaded or tried to download, or have anywhere on my computer. What is going oonnnnn?
is somebody else using your iTunes library?
theres four other people connected to the network, but I have sharing turned off.
ah I wondered if they could have played the song.
Is the song in your library? Ah you say it's not on your machine. Are you sure the file isn't named wrongly and isn't in iTunes under a different song name?
It might be worth doing a file search in your music library folder for that file name.
already did, no hits at all :D
maybe someone is trying to steal my itunes password, ooohhh.
Ooooh!
Do you suspect the spiders?
I really, really do. They also left me some voice mail while my phone had a flat battery this morning, nothing else would describe the 3 seconds of scuffling noise before they hung up.
I have just visited the Sidepodcast Diaries page to check I had not missed any new entries and started the last one to double-check it was one I had seen before (it was).
I have noticed that for the more recent diaries, the picture is reversed; note the picture on the wall is back-to-front compared to how we used to see it in the live podcast shows. I e-mailed Christine (earlier this year) who confirmed this to be the case and something to do with the camera.
However, in the "Judging by Character", entry, in which the circuit names are drawn for the Character Cup, the writing appears not to be in reverse. Therefore Christine must have written them out in backwards hand-writing to make them appear correctly!
Did anyone else notice this?
Wow, you certainly are eager eyed. I can't say i did notice that, but am impressed that you did :D
Hmm step 2 in the saga, iTunes was just closed by Data Execution Prevention as Windows decided it was a security risk.
Ah! My guess, and I'm not sure of the facts here is that Christine is recording using software the mirrors the image. Video on screen is always difficult because we are used to mirrors reversing our image which means when cameras face us and show us playback we get confused.
For example last night when pointing at the camera I got quite confused because when my hand went left it appeared to go right. I was a bit tired usually I'm quite good with fooling my brain.
A lot of video software now has a mirror function so it can show you back the reversed image you're used to. However that wouldn't work for the one where Christine had to show us all the text she pulled out of the hat. So I'm guessing she turned the feature off that week.
maybe a reboot is in order?
I blame the spiders
The picture (on the wall) is still back to front and the writing isn't. The wedding ring is on the wrong hand and Christine appears to be using the scissors with her left hand.
That is dedication to the sidepodcause!
Indeed it is, and I have no answer.
Hello folks
Oh ma poor wee head
Heavy night?
Kinda
Much fun though
I loved that you came in at five am and your first thought was, "better stick a comment on Sidepodcast"
:D
I've got a new destination for Bassano's Sidepod International meet-up
Sweden by any chance?
Which post did I comment on?
I remember doing it but can't see it
Why, yes :)
http://www.sidepodcast.com/2009/08/15/daily-15th-august-2009/#comment-437627
It's cos I've got doohickey open not lclt
Am quite impressed with my spelling at that time of the morning
Nothing comes up in Google, but I'd say pwned! Security software up to date?
Happy Birthday to my beautiful sister who is on a flight back from London right now. I have enjoyed looking after your kids, but I wouldn't wan't deprive you of them anymore :)
Morning All... Quiet day! only toom me a min or too to be up to date!
Apple software being useless on a windows PC... Who woulda thunk it ;)
she says it was magic.
good spot though.
ahaha :D
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Jeremy's Sisterrrrrr, HAaaaaapppy Birthddaaayyy toooo yoooooouuuu.
:D
Indeed
he awakes!
Must venture out for food soon. Am sure the hangover will really kick in then
Seems reasonably cope-able so far
That won't last
Aside from the double be... your sentance was too gramaticly correct for it to be a good night out :P
You should have ended with a raaaaahhhhhhh or suchlike :D
been up ages. currently parked on a motorway somewhere. british engineering, love it.
Does this mean more live outside?
ooh, could do. not much to see but parked cars.
I knew it would be somehow. Anybody else help? Smug Apple guys don't deal with this too often. Standard Windows tech guy answer seems to be to reformat and re-install. Didn't you have install disk issues a while back?
"going" anywhere fun?
Its more of an obligation than an option now alex has raised the bar :P
ok. keep an eye on the playground. live in 5.
Excellent, i am sure the international viewers are exited about the prospect of seeing our exotic motorways!
:)
It's pretty exciting out there
I am! Who needs a night out when you have live streaming!
I am all over it like a rash. Oh to be on foreign roads...
the suspense is killing me!
its happening!
I've cracked open a beer in anticipation
I just realised I have no audio! Noooo!
yeyyy :D
I am begining to think Qik isnt very good!
agreed
It's started!
Computer in the car, I love it.
Is it podsafe? ;)
It's good stuff!
There's quite a delay!
I think MrC is just showing off the fact his screen has hinges (Sorry Amy)
Loving the Robot!
You don't?
i'm normally the one driving :(
The buffering is immense!
Are you getting epic levels of 'B'
bah mine has a full 2L milk bottle holding it up, hinges are overrated
I am now hearing you saying that you've been broadcasting for 7 minutes
oh good, im glad it's not just me
Just wait till you get to the next bit.
Weve seen it for ages... there was a delay!
Oops, that was Christine, not Mr C.
HN55TWL? Black Ford Focus/Fiesta?
I've reached "i hate my life" anyone else further?
Mr Jones!
Me too
Mr C singinging
Now not
you're miles behind.
stopped?
Are you moving again yet?
waiting for you to catch up?
i think so
no. what casn ou see on the live stream?
Possibly although the status bar is saying waiting for and trasferring from Qik
did you see me get out and go for a walk?
WHAT!?!?
I now have a video on mine, a wee tour of my kitchen table ;)
I see Amy's beer!
i have to do it again?
i see beeerrr, good choice :D my favourite
I refreshed the page and the last thing that happend was Mr C being told not to sing...
Have you stopped the stream now Mr C?
its stopped now, no more live-age. the video of what you streamed before is there though, although only up to where you were told not to sing ;)
What the hell am I doing with my life? Its rushing by too qik
and I'll have you know the voice saying 'can you put on Backstreet Boys or Westlife' is not me!
I am watching a replay of it now... is much better :D
yeah. boo. i walked up the motorway.
we had an rem moment, everyone got out of their cars.
Yesterday with Qik it had the data stored locally on the phone and when the phone was locked it couldn't upload it so the phone was holding the data. When I unlocked the phone I saw it count down the delay 3,2,1 etc.
pah, lies ;)
I was somebody from New Zealand...
People from New Zealand, in my experience say, "oh yeah". More than those from Aus.
I would never listen to Westlife!
I danced in the street back in 1992. was an awesome moment. I think Ive reached the 'past glories' part of my life already.
Next time I'm in a traffic jam, I'm dancing. Not sure about live streaming it though
Sounds awesome... boo!
niu kids on the block?
My flatmate and her friend, who was putting on NKOTB, are both from NZ. :D
You didnt film it? its not on the replay!
Im going to watch the next one on the qik website. I doubt it will help, but it the small and worthless gestures that help..
still sending cached data. try the replay in a bit.
Okay then I'll let you off!
For sure?
yay!
we live streamed it. i didn't know you couldn't see it.
Doh!
I keep checking back... It keeps stopping at the same bit :(
I am watching the replay now that my flatmate has left and turned off her Lady Gaga crap so I can actually hear the audio :D
Epic News!
The Hero was dispatched yesterday!
What is this 'hero'?
still sending. we recorded 20mins of footage.
just going to check if it has been delivered
In a world of modern telephony, one phone....
etc...
it's a phone.
ah ok :D
WAHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOO
Yes!
yay!
a refresh says there is 7:15 of footage now
Instruction 1: please reomve the device from your pants pocket before sitting down.
oooh it looks good :D
this makes me determined to go to the park tomorrow. I shall do the first sidepodcast pit stop.
Just spotted it. More there!
It feels good :D
you need a qik account.
I have learned something tonight, I'd never heard of a contraflow before. I had to wiki it to find out what it was.
oooh, he's going outside!!
hehe do they have motorway road works in NZ?
they are very bad things :)
Have you started moving yet?
we changed motorways at least. 20mph now.
I assume so! All of the roadworks I have ever driven through were not on the motorways but on the usual 2-lane state highway system, in which case they use the little dudes with the stop and go signs :D
That's progress I suppose :)
If you get a spare sec I sent Christine an e-mail...
can mail me? she's driving atm.
I JUST SAW THE BIT WITH THE HINGES, GRRRR
just thought that... done.
ooops we forgot.
Who are you people and why are you behind me?
:D
I am drop.io'ing a picture of my hinges. Don't get too jealous.
Eeeee :)
There's more every time I refresh
MrC on the motorway, but not in a car... madness!
www.hinges.com/forum/upload
I wonder what the data charges are like when I'm roaming. I want to stream lots of my trip to NZ :D
isit bad if i think i recognise the motorway?
Check it out:
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/15082009-001
you know you want one
chewing gum and baling wire?
What have you been doing!
Its not a rugby ball :P
that little bit with the screws in it is meant to be inside the screen and its meant to move up and down, but its stuck there! even with all my force it doesn't move because the hinge has seized. Googling tells me its a common fault with Vaios :(
so the website for the exhibition I am going to says "Photographs of the nine Formula One cars only are allowed, provided they are taken without the use of either a flash or a tripod"
Bah, that won't stop me from live streaming!
Have youtried talking to sony? they might be nice?
ooh... whens this?
Or is this the cars that got lost and went to NZ?
Insert joke about 'all made in same factory' here?

No strings attached discount available to Aussie SPCers
The Hero is charging.
It is doing it Epicly ;)
Has anyone else listened to Startled Bunny's podcast? it's really good!! music's awesome!
they said its not covered under warranty, and my warranty has expired anyway :(
but I'm never one to turn down an excuse to buy a new toy :D
It sure is
http://www.tepapa.govt.nz/f1/Default.aspx
I shall be there on September 13....stay tuned :D
maybe they'll pay you to not talk to the media about it?
jeremy, you're a legend. amy, you must do this ;)
I can get a discount through work because apparently we are part of some sort of Apple program where they provide discounts to employees of certain companies blah blah blah, but they're still more than I want to pay :D
I am going to Today, Tonight!
You should do, it really is a current affair...
Can do better most of the time. Price or value Amy? I'll stop now.
eheheheh. I am not ready to cross to the Mac side anyway. One day....maybe....
we have just stopped for fuel.. tank was 99% empty!
by coincidence it's a bp ultimate station, but it really was the first we found. christine has x1 tank of rocket fuel on board and has never tried this before. wish me luck.
More streaming? For insurance purposes?
Look out if I ever come to Melbourne :P Maybe I need to start by convincing Steven Roy?
I found this http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/shop_image/product/df50db034987437fc036fff2490ba31c.jpg in my bro's room, he dosent use it anymore, but i cant fid the plug :( :( it used to work pretty good :)
eheheh I have bad memories of my old flatmate and her Mac, her dad was some important dude at Apple New Zealand, so there was never a shortage of products in our flat. Blame her :D
What does it do?
its a mixer
I'll send the Ninjas to her now. She cant be too hard to find. How often did she use the word renaissance?
Ah... i have heard of those. And not just the knind that make cakes :D
mmm cakes
there's a singles party inside that little box?
she works for a certain purple chocolate company. Easy to find ;) Lets just assume she used it often :D
christine on bp ultimate: feels the same as v-power, but better than tesco's own.
Cheapskate alert: Coles brand belgian mint chocolate, 250 grams for $1.89 at Bi Lo. It's not purple, but it's really nice!
me no compute?
I think its a term old people use. mixer = party for people to 'mix'
ahh ok :D i getcha
got a reply from darren heath re the bbc cropping:
"I appreciate your point but still believe the position of the car illustrates the 'rule' and certainly makes sense."
it doesn't make any sense to me, but i tried me bestest.
I found this while playground searching for something i thought Amy said the other day.
http://www.sidepodcast.com/2009/08/10/daily-10th-august-2009/#comment-430612
The magic number is 14, not 10.
i thought three was the magic number?
Maybe he doesnt want to criticize one of his paymasters.... sems silly to me. He should have chosen a different photo though, i didn't really like that one.
I thought the minimum rule was "half your age + 7"
Some books I read said the answer was 42. In this context, I look forward to the day that is true
I'm not old enough for that yet
have replied requesting he overlay a grid to show what he means. i'm high maintenance like that.
Owwwwwwww, my wireless headphones just cut out because it didnt think music was playing! IT WAS!!! IT WAS JUST QUIET!!! and i had my headphones up really loud to hear it, oowww
Haha, my 23 year old friend breaks this rule! :P
well atleast you can admit it, most high maintenance people dont think tey're high maintenance :D
My 23 year old girlfriend breaks this rule! :P
You're OLD :P
But well done sir!
I really should call it a night. I'm headed in the wrong direction again tonight :)
Have fun peeps.
Night!
Night!
theres even a graph ;)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Half_Plus_Seven_Graph_2.JPG
goodnight!
hahaha.... you have been doing your research! :P
that is amusing :D
I was trying to work out if that rule is a common thing or just something I heard somewhere, then I found it on wiki and decided it must be pretty common :D
I hadnt heard it before... but i will be sure to use it!
Never heard of it, totally believe in it.
Looking for something Amy?
I thought i could leave. I really thought I could this time...
...not in that way... i meant more to mock people.
Oh dear... i have made a mess of this.
Hiya.
I thought it was commonly known, I've certainly heard of it before.
*nods*
There is a 7's tournament going on at Twickenham and no one told me.
I am too sick to go, but its the principle that hurts.
RG will be pleased to know that newcastle are winning...
theres a first time for everything....
New pepsi max looks very strange.
Although to be fair the new pepsi logo makes it hard to get anything looking normal
oooh wow
I like the look of that. Very modern design
apparently the qik app thinks it's finished uploading?
ooo... will take a look...
aha, i couldnt work out why my headphones wouldnt work...turns out they werent turned up...whoops
Am currently on hold to O2 which means looking is a bit tricky.
20 minutes 38 seconds
i bet the people in the convertable in front thought you were wierd ;)
O2 have actual songs on their hold music! That's pretty good. Currently listening to Elbow.
were you going to go anywhere exciting?
yes. just not very quickly.
ooh about 10 minutes in, when you stopped to let the stream catch up, it starts playing from the beginning again...but says its 10 minutes in...
That's Sidepodtime for you!
christine thinks it's stretching the limits.
i had no idea it was this elastic?
Maybe it's trying to break?
I'm sure a show that was a week late was put down to Sidepodtime at one point. Lets hope it's not that long.
Watching it again i didnt notice the evil average speed cameras were there the first time.
Booooo them.
averag spped = 0
afternoon everyone :)
:(
Stand on the roof and stream from there?
Afternoon Lou!
now we're moving.
what's going on? have i missed anything?
Hey there... hows your day?
Did you see this one: http://qik.com/video/2536960
it's so hectic :( so much packing to do. lol
Oh dear!
Have you packed a travel iron
havent seen that :)
a wha?? noooo.. the town villa will have one of those! :P
okay so i'm watching a video on the live streaming bit of mr and mrs c on the motorway... where are they/ did they go?
To another motorway with another traffic jam!
They haven't got there yet it would seem or said where they are going.
Ciao i miei amici
oh right okay :)
Good boogie-ing skills there Christine :D
I hope they don't blame the traffic on the boogie
That is verry weird....
It perhaps got confused by the two videos.
Heroic Update: 50% of initial 3 hr charge period is over :D
Afternoon all? How's your weekend going?
Friday beers went crazy - we started with Hungarian Sausage and Palinka, then went to a beer garden which ended at 8pm with a bottle of champagne to celebrate a friend who told us officially that she was married. Then we went to a Japanese restaurant where we had some amazing sushi and a bottle of sake. Got home at 4am, so I'm a little tired today ;)
Theres nothing worse than thinking you are home alone and coming out of the bathroom to find SOMEONE STANDING ON THE STAIRS IN THE DARK.
My flatmate is home early and I just aged 15 years in one second.
omg that must be scary. poor amy :(
Just standing there? eeeek... thats creepy!
Just think though.... coulda been worse... coulda been a spider! :P
waiting for the bathroom, apparently :D
Ah, i know that feeling.... dying for the loo after a night at the pub and some girl is washing her hair for the 7th time that evening ;)
In the dark though?
Pretty relaxed. Had a "comedy night" with my sister yesterday (since neither of us have a lot of money right now). Fish&Chips + beer + Doritos&dips along with Eddie Izzard and Ross Noble DVDs.
Have
hooveredvacuumed the car and I've got to change the wing mirrors a little later, before heading back to Dad's to feed cats. Will stay there tonight as it is easier to feed 'em in the morning and vanish, than it is to come back here then wake up in the morning and go over again.not good!
the light fixture on our landing is broken :(
Tomorrow I plan to come back here and watch some IndyCar :-)
tomorrow? i thought it was next week?
Ah... i guess thats not quite so spooky then!
It is next week. I need to catch up.
Freaky :(
My Hero will be ready in just 1 hour. I think i might POP
Evening. Missed much?
I'm having a very quiet day, apart from discovering a Facebook app called FarmVille.
Hi all, I'm on Farm Town on Facebook & I think Farmville is quite similar. Be prepared to get addicted :)
I'm on Farmville too - it's weird but fun!
Damn you both :(
Now I feel compelled to go look at those. I can feel my life slipping away
It's pretty quiet around here... Maybe I should do some live broadcasting!
packing is so boring! gah!
Awesome!
Gigles TV while away the 40 mins untill H-Time :D
Take a break e-mail watch some live video :)
I'll be live shortly - just setting up!
http://www.sidepodcast.com/playground/
3 cams or are you going to be conservative with just 2? :P
yay! :D
While most people are around, are there any requests for things you would like me to record at Albert Park? No doubt you will all be sleeping while I am there :D
Umm pitlane, start frinish line, 1st corner would be great.
Turn 6 and turn 13 might make a good combo :P
Run around the whole thing....pushing a trolley...
ooh you've just give me an idea to stream each corner and point out how it differs to track configuration, because quite a few of them are different :D
you think I can run 5km!?
Ah but pushing a trolley will make it fun :D
I'll take your word for it :D
That would be good, the chicane in a carpark will be interesting to see :D
now that I've made all these promises I'd better make sure I come through! *sets alarm and considers going to bed now*
Thats a bit early! you will miss giggles tv... What time does it get dark?
Neither can I ... but I have to next month for the DHL Relay challenge!
I am staying up for giggles! I am still getting the knots out of my hair anyway, so that'll take a while yet :(
It gets dark around 6pm at the moment, I am aiming to get to the park around 3.30ish which is 6.30am UK time, it'll take me about an hour to get right round the track.
I started following the Couch to 5K podcast, which was very good, then I remembered that I hate running and gave up :D
You need these :P
Good I'm almost ready!
I was worried :D
wait giggles! we wanna watch.
I am ready, so ready when you say so.
Traffic entertainment?
ok go!
I hate running too - but I also hate running with too much 'success ballast'!
Sounds good, i eagerly await the replays as there is no way i will be up at such an ungodly time!
Hi all, I’m on Farm Town on Facebook & I think Farmville is quite similar. Be prepared to get addicted {Comment #456}
Thank you for the warning ;)
AHH THIS IS UNEXPECTED
What the? Christine's at Alex's!
Hello giggles!
We are live
Christine! omg *is shocked* HII!!!
Sidepod implossion
ITS LIKE THIS CRAZY CRASHING OF ONLINE AND OFFLINE AND I AM SCARED
Wow... is this the first Sidepodhousevisit?
me too!
I was gonna skip it and flick on the athletics. But I don't think so now.
Alex is looking directly at Mr C and Mr C has not melted. It's almost like he actually is a real person.
where is the panda?
ahahaha, thats awesome
hahahaha the owl is a legend :D
OMG it's the giggleunion!
I see what you did there :P
this is the perfect most perfect way to cheer me up! you guys are awesome :)
I want to be in the UK so I can go to Giggles house too! It looks like the happening place to be :(
Why are you sad?
Justin and UStream work great, but qik buffers and the sound is too quiet :(
bad day packing :( i hate preparing for going on holiday.
the live streaming page is not optimised for watching these specific 4 streams :D
I would buy a Google Phone just so i could go to giggles house
I do need to be there, my stream is the only one on the page thats not broadcasting from Giggles!
4 streams. Don't think my heart can cope.
I only see one live qik stream...
I have one. 23 mins to go ... I am not counting :D
I think it's a Gigglephone now ;)
Could stream the streaming page?
oooh stream in a stream! I'm gonna do it :D
Now I feel compelled to go look at those. I can feel my life slipping away {Comment #458}
#sorryalison - but if you do join in Farmville, feel free to add me as a neighbour (put my e-mail, blueberry862000 AT yahoo.co.uk, in the main search area of Facebook and it'll give you the name to put in the neighbour request).
The Sidepodcast one...
I only have the Alex qik, not the sidepodcast one
Oh weird when I click on the ALex one in a separate page it works now...
qik streams seem quiet but the sound on ustream is fine :)
Quadrouple giggles! :D#
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/quad-gigles-jpg
Ah, I preloaded an old video and it had to finish to make Alex's one live!
madness :-)
the SPC qik is miles behind the other streams..
I shoulda said. 4 streams, I don't thin my bandwidth can cope.
eeeeheheh that was fun but mine was sooo far behind
mine can't either. am just using the ustream one
Mine seems to be able to - it's just qik that can't...
Hi everybody!
I'm only watching jtv; my bandwidth could cope obviously but I can't :)
heh, that's great that you're streaming the streams :-)
its almost like being there :D
aw, you missed me streaming you? I can do it again!
sidepodimplosion!
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/multistream-jpg
Its very long but suprisngly small
The end of the world as we know it....
that is amaaaaazing. I like your way of getting them all on one screen, I was struggling to think of a way :D
A carpenter might use one
This is crazier than a parade lap!
no one else is playing!
ahahaha :D this is funny :)
I am trying to think of a clue that won't give it away but I can't :D
It is a tool, but not one that can make anything
i can't think of a better clue...
it's yellow.....
The barnd name of the mysery object shares a name of a player in the england cricket team
I might give in, even wih just one stream its simply not working on this laptop :(
In my defence, I missed what object you're talking about.I'm as clueless as Alex!
BRAND :P
The justin stream at the very bottom works well, I'm using it for audio
It has a brand name? Even I missed that!
it's extendible??
not sure if that gives it away.....
That is one I'm using.
It has markings.
It tells you things two different ways.
YES :D
measuring tool
Same here - maybe it's a little too loud though?
hooray!
Measure the length of Christine's hair?
that was fun, can Alex come to SPC towers for EVERY parade lap?
come back in 30 mins and try again :P
3 mins till the hero!
So does that mean because I don't have carpet I can't live stream?
byee! thank you for cheering me up! :D
Hero time :D
the thought that they may be back means I cannot go to sleep :D
Mr C's attempt at deception :lol:
Giggles had an attempt too:
"They haven't got there yet it would seem or said where they are going."
So much secrecy is becoming apparent :P
from now on anytime anyone says they are going "outside" I am going to be suspicious.
You are right to be!
Lou is all "I'm going to Spain".
YEAH RIGHT. YOU ARE GOING TO THE HOUSE OF GIGGLES.
:)
This is similar to the house of fraser, but with more Giggles
ahahaha i'll send in (if i can) pics to prove i'm in spain :P
I shall refuse to believe it is anything but a green screen. You are all going to be in London, talking about Heikki, laughing together at how I am in Australia and probably asleep. ;)
Are you really going to albert park?
So if I get a hold of a say, dolphin, hold it, you believe that I have got a live dolphin in London?
thats what I'd like you to believe :D
aww :)
green screen + Lukeh photoshop. It's the only explanation.
\
We all know the truth...
See you in london :D
Good evening.
I've never set foot in Melbourne in my life! My secret plan, foiled!
good evening Lukeh. Are you sure you're in Wales right now?
Urm... I hope so.
I am untrusting of everyone :D
aw Lukeh, I see from your twitter you are down, can I offer you a Muse party?
hey lukeh
amy thinks that we are all in london, cause mr and mrs c are at chateau giggles today :)
That... is awesome.
when I saw it I thought of you :D
I can imagine him staring at that for hours...
Wow!
It's a little sad that I find it cool it has the band's best friend in it as well as the band. That is freakin' awesome.
*puts as desktop background*
out of all the "zoolander gif + other peoples faces" I have seen, that is the best because their expressions are brilliant :D
We are in the garden at the moment!
ooh live?
don't tell, show :D
Not Live at the moment...
But we could go live at any moment.
We are laughing at Mr C because we can connect to Alex's wifi and he can't.
I am trying to find party faces for F1 people so I can make an F1-Zoolander gif :D
Mrs C I can confirm G2=Awesome :D
Am not risking it. Mainly since I'm watching the speedway on Sky Player.
Hehehe
ooh, this seems to happen to me a lot - I mentioned a film the other day and it is gonna be on telly tomorrow. WarGames, C4, 4.30pm :-)
There is a show on BBC at the moment... and they have 'Pandarama' :D
did he not bring his ipod touch?? mine comes with me pretty much where ever i go...
There is a picture of Alex on dropio to prove we are in the garden.
twitter down again? or just me?
HTTP Server Error 503
No available server to handle this request
It cant be him, there is no squirell!
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/2009-08-15-18-08-50
He has mac, eee pc and itouch. Nothing works. Hehehe.
Is the only common link between the 3 him? hmmmm :P
oooh
ubuntu might not work if Alex uses WPA & WPA2 for his wifi. Netbook remix can only do WPA2
desperate for live racing so am watching the 100m qualifiers at the world championships.. is say 'watching'.. they are on while i'm reading autosport.com
We have decided to stop talking about WiFi!
probably for the best...
(Sorry MrC) :D
We are Walkig along the road now. If only mr c had written the transparent doohicky I would be safe.
what did you do?
Doh! Sidepodpubbing?
can we pick the drinks? :)
we are in a park
Danger! is amy still staying up for the follow up streaming?
I am still up, but hunting for pictures for my GIF making :D
I don't know where north is!
surely there must be an ipod app to help with that?
Commenting from the hero! The world has gotten bigger!
go hero!
We are at some kind of sporting event. Crystal Palace pentalthalon?
there is. That's what proved it.
Good luck! let us know how you place!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/olliewilliams/2009/08/londons_first_big_olympic_week.shtml
ahh i see.
ah cool!
Just realised your on an apple endorsed mobile product, so that link is rather pointless.
There was a triathlon in Hyde Park earlier, I was watching it before I lost interest..
link soled great!
*worked
Apparently we are going to see the dinosaurs in the park. I am expecting Jurassic Park.
uh oh!
Watch out we may go live!
you'd better! do you know what time it is, young man!?
qik?
Thats sidepodedication :D
Yup Christine's qik!
ooh live!
typical, you start streaming when i need to go to dinner :) have fun! ;)
yay :-)
but lots and lots of b-word
beer? ;)
I am more than happy to be a dinosaur.
massive amounts. I dont think qik is all it was hyped up to be
I do want beer...
When they had both running at once, Alex's was better.
For the first time in days... Me too :D
Its almost unwatchable
I still like it because the replays run fine :D
I had stillness, then loud Mr C laughing, then stillness, then Alex and Christine sounding really distant so unable to hear them... and then stillnesss
Oh yes that's true, and it's good that they are even able to get this much!
I like the replays. I am waiting untill they finish they will watch that :D
ooh my one is not that bad, but then again I had 2xqik, ustream and jtv all going fine. Maybe I have Finnish internet tonight.
Mine were okay earlier, when I had three running (and briefly yours too). I had to stop the Sidepodcast Qik at that point too because it was so far behind the others.
But I'm impressed that this is possible. And I want more money so I can do it.
We have left the park. It's still uploading!
the audio is terrrrrible. And this video appears to be doing what the other one did in that it starts repeating itself.
so does anyone know of any Cool Stuff available for UK users of Orange? :-)
It has been so long since I last looked at their website.. they've got Stuff on there which looks good, and a free upgrade to boot. I have this week off. I can feel a visit to an Orange store coming on.
So, Federer and Nadal are both out in Montreal so if Murray wins his next match, he will overtake Nadal as number 2 in the world. THIS CANNOT HAPPEN.
And so I shall go to sleep because oops, its 5.30am and I have a race track to visit tomorrow!
Craziness, staying up to that time! Night.
I am going to go as well because I have cats to feed and washing to hang up, wing mirrors to fix, etc...
Night amy, cheers for the Muse party ;)
Who would like to pick which chinese takeaway we select?
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/photo-185
Bottom one! Don't know why, just looks better
The bottom one because I dunno what the hell it is
bottom one :)
Okay so we have uploaded the menus...
choose something you'd like.
Night Amy... Sidepod menuing?
ooo yum. i'll take a look :)
No seafood. No mushrooms.
My highlights :P
Beef Ho Fan Sounds funny :P
Lo han chai looks good ... mainly because it contais fungus!
& who could resist a drunken chicken?
Finally, I have managed to wrestle the Mac from Mr C's hands. How are we all this evening?
Good selection :)
fair enough :)
chicken chow mein is always nice :)
i usually have tofu/ bean curd (same thing basically) but i can't see it there.
Hey Christine :) i'm okay thanks. having a nice time?
hehe, verry good :D G2 is awesome...
How is it at Alex's? (P.s. you can be honest as he cant read this;) )
Of course. It has to be a good time since it took us freakin hours to get here.
:D
i hope it's not so busy for when you come back then ;)
how were the dinosaurs in the park? i missed that piece of live stuff.
Hullo mrs c.
Well, it wasn't quite Jurassic Park, as I had expected. Very good though. The battery ran out on the G1, and we only have a car charger, so I'm not sure whether the video from there worked or not. I think Alex is dropioing something.
Its much better on the replay!
I dont think it is a live soloution just yet!
We were under a lot of trees. It's a great idea but limited by 3G. Sadly, we can't control the outside!
Hope she says yes :)
it's only a matter of time ;)
Don't like sky sports, load of rubbish scheduling....oh hi again everybody.
Quick question, BTCC is tomorrow isn't it?
Evening all. How's everyone's day been? :)
think so. There's also the F2 at Donnington
Well Plato took pole at Knockhill today, so yes.
Decisions, decisions. Fit it around the football. Ahh well, I miss having to watch too much sport.
Here's a bit of more boredome being put into words based on something someone sent me yesterday
F1 Facebook Updates
I loved it, specially the F1 Rocks stuff. Kudos my good man.
Evening all.
You could try
Scott if you're interested there's a Forza 3 video on the 360 Dashboard.
Hello you have missed out on a bit of fun.
Today was the
sidepodeceptionSidepodtour to giggles house!Also Spag bol + Horseradish = Awesome!
We are waiting for our food now. Talking about the future of the interwebs.
Sorry, that was not Mr C.
My internet started spinning with the capitals.
They will be made in china. It is inevitble
Did you order the fungus?
Erm, no. Mr C ordered the Mongolian Lamb though.
Where fo you get Mongolian lamb?
I hope it isnt too tired by the walk ;)
London, apparently.
Who knew?
Hello again. I have relocated to Dad's for the night while he's away. Is it wrong that while I have Sky and his massive stack of DVD films, I'm watching the Radical UK Cup on MotorsTV?
Apparantly, we have one on the quayside.
My important question is where, I've been down it billions of times and never seen it.
Maybe someone tied it up to a bike rack?
I think you can get anything in London
Go for it... DVD's are timeless.. The radical cup is of the moment!
A Mongolian lamb?
Surely he would notice someone driving round with a foreign sheep on a bike rack.
Probably.
Christine abd Giggles on the same live stream? How am I supposed to cope with that?
This is true. Although it does suck, I've never seen it before and that's good enough for me. I am also amused at the complete lack of spectators at Castle Combe. I've been there - once. Place was packed for historic touring/sportscars. Seems they don't like these things.
Not the mobile sort... the fixed kind!
Recordings are in the playground / live streaming place/s
I just found them. I haven't caught up on the comments yet
MrsC are their any android apps you think are 'must have'?
I guess the one thing everyone learned fro today's live streaming is if the motorway spilts into a two lane section and a one lane section you always take the two lane section as there is a lot less chance of it getting blocked. I have a great deal of experiece on sitting in a one lane section watching the other two lanes moving.
what's my best angle? The discount? The value propostiton?
I have less than 5 hours sleep. Forgive me if I'm not my best today. I will attempt to channel 23 year old New Zealand girl lving in Melbourne.
Free computer?
you will need more than that surely, ask for an iphone or 2 as well ;)
2 iphones and a free computer could possibly convince me
i do have a lot of them... but i NEED them all i tells ya!
Good evening everyone.
Are you sure you need all of them?
Hello. How's things?
Good thanks. How about yourself?
They dont sound very efficient if you need a lot of them. I only need one PC.... :P
I'm good. Catching up on the live streaming I missed today at http://www.sidepodcast.com/playground/livestreaming.php
Now you're just asking me to show off!
Instead of doing that, I will admit it is a crazy obsession and that I wont be live streaming from 6 laptops at once. Oops! (I am not at home, I only have 3 available to me right now)
Ah, there was a lot of it going on last night too, from Alex.
Ooh, I can tell you the ones I have.
I just discovered Locale which is awesome. I also have Qik, obviously. I downloaded Loquacious for Twitter, plus the last.fm app. A couple of games, a notepad for keeping short notes.
My G1 has run out of battery, but I can give you a full rundown with names later, if you're interested.
What have you got so far?
Today took it to a whole new leval!
I saw those. Today Christine and Mr C were at Alex's house and all of them are streaming. Amy appears to be streaming 3 of their streams back again but I haven't got to it yet
Leave it in the car with the ignition set to 'accessories'?
I did some today too.
http://qik.com/startledbunny
This week has blown my mind! Level 11?
All of Giggles's qik streams play twice when you run the replays. When the timer bar gets to 50% the video replays for the other 50%
ShopSavvy... The Barcode fun has just begun!
Skype lite. I am not a fan, but i need it.
Qik... i dare'nt not!
I have a twitter thing built in as well...
Giggles and MrsC on the same sofa. And the legendary owl from giggles shelf made an appearance too! :D
#blamesteven
I want a G2!
It takes up a whole home screen.
Its not a biggie... I have 7 :P
Seems only fair as I knew what they should have done but selfishly didn't tell them.
Good man... They accept your appology
Which do you want first a G2 or a Polar bear?
*panda
I was really worried that they would hold a grudge
Will the owl be making a live appearance tonight giggles?
:)
*waves*
Naturally, I want a Panda, but the G2 is more realistic!
Panda app for the G2?
What's a "G" and who else has one that makes you want it so bad? :P jokes...
I have 'the Gs of three' on my phone, but no S yet. Tantrum time?
Perhaps I likes to be different.
How come telstra havent called it an iphone NextG?
It must be most confusing for their customers :P
Can't live with them, pass the beer nuts! (Cheers)
I found The Naked Gun 2 1/2 on the telly, haven't seen it in years. Used to love it in the early teens...
What kind of moron changed the Pepis logo? Are they insane? They have a logo that is known and instantly recognised all over the world. Presumably some management consultant decided it needed to be modernised.
We have a Telco called '3' (Hutchison Telecoms, joining with Vodafone now)
They pushed 3G very hard over here when it was all new.
They now have the iPhone, so our nerdy sayings confuse people even more.
I am catching up with Google Reader (really slowly).
Great comment to one of Joe Saward's posts, the one about MS no longer racing, I have no idea if it has been posted here yet:
I saw that on some N-word races I watched before the proper stuff started. Looks terrible on a trackside billboard. I'm sure it won't be long before it reaches here..
Yeah im with them over here. The people in the shop didnt know what they were doing so i am now on a very cheap deal. :D
As if they are ever touching our brand! I don't think so Sol. Why don't you stick to your knitting huh?
That's right, you came begging like everyone else.
It reminds me of when Coke decided it was a good idea to change there cola so that it was more like Pepsi. That worked really well. Right up to the point when they put it on the market and the Coke drinkers revolted en masse.
How could they have thought that was a good idea?
Well done. Let me know if you ever find a telco with knowledgeable staff. There must be some somewhere in the world?
I luv u all, but I'm not getting stuck in this loop again. I might have a quick turn in the playground, but then I'm off.
PS. The only good coke, is real coke. :P
Its bacicly all to do with animation and stuff.
This Pdf was supposidly sectret and got out , and shows how clever the whole thing is http://bunnitude.com/misc/files/pepsi_gravitational_field.pdf
It cost them $100Million
It is absolutely beyond me. Panorama or something similar did a pgram on it and there was a meeting where the board were answering questions from disgruntled Coke drinkers. In answer to a question the CEO said that in taste tests people said they prefered Pepsi so the person who asked the question said that if Coke drinkers prefered the taste of Pepsi surely they would be Pepsi drinkers and he just stood there like it had never occurred to him that people had tried both and chosen Coke.
So you will be leaving us in a couple of hours then?
What a load of marketing guff and poppycock! These guys really are a waste of money!
They paid $100 million to change a logo the have spent billions advertising over the years for a new one that is a section of the old. Nice to see that the recesssion is not affecting some people. I guess the Pepsi board fit into the category described as no brain- no pain.
Skunk Anansie are back? Did I miss a memo?
Pepsi will always be superior to Coke no matter what they try.
dammit! i just fell over my case in the dark :( second time i've done that today, my toe hurts so much :(
Contraversial! :P
I bet they get a stack of complaints about this and it ends up costng them a lot more than the $100 million. They will change back within the year.
Ouch! I dont know if it helps, but try doing this!

I always preferred the 80s/90s one, to the newer one when it went all blue.
Quiet here tonight innit?
Everybody is eating drunken chicken
I preferred that one too!
Oooooh, I thought it was Mongolian lamb?
This may be the case
i find swearing helped me deal with the initial pain. mum wasn't too impressed, but my toe is now swollen so she knows i wasn't being silly.lol
Hehehe... parents and swearing are a funny combination :D
funny thing is when she fell over the case this morning it didn't matter that she swore :P
:D
I've also noticed dad's IE7 isn't updating with new comments, even when it isn't sleeping...
Told you it helped, although I thought you'd be driving...
ooh, he's installed Chrome. *tests*
haha :) there is still time :P if i have another dad day at the traffic lights like friday then i can see myself swearing in frustration..
Also i dont know how this effects your position as a helper at a sidepodzoo... What if you swore in front of the baby animals :P
Live commenting doesn't work, but most stuff does, and faster too.
Doohickey is working well.
On chrome? I am using it right now!
[..] 'em?
It was walk on the wild side on BBC1. Stephen Fry doing panda voices means that any panda without his voice would be a disappointment.
When I was in my teens I swore like a trooper. Not in front of parents though..
Stand corrected. :)
Damn!
We had some guy come work for us, who didn't want to sell sugared water for the rest of his life. It didn't work out so well.
What's the plan for tomorrow? Or should we wait until the new thread appears?
Whats happening tomorrow?
what's happening tomorrow?
Debrief?
Ah! All day Live from Giggles?
I'm nosy about what people are up to on a non-F1 Sunday
i picked a bad few weeks to be away
BTCC, F2, MotoGP and lots and lots of football
I admire your commitment
I will be trying to get better... If i am feeling up to it i might meet a friend, possibly even try out Qik if i am feeling especially well :D
It's only a matter of time before he is streaming 24/7
I forgot about moto gp.... I hope to watch that too
Ah, get well then.
Recovering from tonight, then a spot of Qik (mostly videoing cats misbehaving)
Ooh might watch Planes Trains & Automobiles on Apple TV.
I am channel-hopping the radio stations on Sky. Someone has done a club version of a Sigur Ros track. I think it is Staruflur but I'm useless with associating their track names to the actual songs. At least they had the decency to replace the riff with a synth instead of using the original. I'm surprised that it actually works.
What happened tonight?
Glug glug glug. No need to go out tomorrow, so drinky drinky.
Ooh, I know what I was going to ask of the studiers of a couple of months ago, when do you get your results? I get mine on Monday night or Tuesday morning via email.
I should answer my own question:
Tomorrow I actually am going to fit those wing mirrors. (damaged before I bought the car - ebay sale, what can i say)
Then I'm going home from here and plan to watch at least one IndyCar race - and blog it - before popping to mum's for a cup of tea and a catch-up. In the evening I don't know what I'm doing yet.
Ah good :-)
Another great song by Mutemath, this time Spotlight from the film Twilight

Gotta love that guitar riff :D
We are next door. Perhaps you could post it there so I don't forget to look at it tomorrow?
Good one.
Thanks ;-)
I have a terrible memory and don't want to interrupt the thing I'm listening to now
