We are into Sunday now, and Mr C and I are recovering from our afternoon at Giggles' house. There is plenty to look at on the live streaming playground, if you missed any of the fun. We were still investigating the Qik possibilities and there's still a lot to be learnt.
- Meanwhile, Silverstone are trying to pile on the pressure to Donington by suggesting there are just a few weeks to confirm the event on next year's calendar. Damon Hill has already admitted he is watching Gillett's progress carefully as he wants the race back. Either way, I hope the British GP continues.
- BMW have released their preview quotes for the European Grand Prix, and Theissen says that the team will keep on developing. Presumably getting some results will be one of the best ways to interest a potential buyer or saviour for the team.
- Finally, Mr Todt has been speaking out about his potential employment with the FIA and is adamant that his former allegiance to Ferrari won't have any affect on his decisions. He says he will be fair to all teams. When have the FIA ever been like that though?
That'll do for now. Let us know what you are doing with your Sunday, and whether you are live streaming your life like we all are! I'll see you in the comments.
Hello Sunday!
Might do some live streaming later, if i am feeling well and the sun doth smile ;)
They have gone now...
Here was some dinner: http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/photo-188
wow. that looks nice.
Yummy!
I was a bit worried the mongolian lamb had done some damage as it had gone very quiet! :D
It was nice :)
Yum, yum, Chinese Food.
Mr C had the Mongolian Lamb - it was very good. I had the drunken lamb.
Live stream to summarise the day?
On behalf of sidepodcast....we are very jealous of you ;)
*chicken
oooh Mr Bunny sir ;)
have listened to your podcast today, it's AMAZING. seriously, i've not ever listened to a collection of music like it, top job! keep it up!
did Christine or Katherine have the sober lamb?
With a swift game of Play your cards right?
Was it any good and did eating it make you drunken?
Thank you. Glad you liked it.
Just uploaded a new one up tonight, got to post the shownotes yet.
It was good. It was marinated in rice wine... I described it as a mixture of rice and wine, which may have been wine made from rice..
Christine was driving and so was having an all sober diner. Katherine did too...
I want!
hehehe As long as you didnt start calling it wice rine you havent had too much!
I bookmarked the site and meant to listen to the last few, haven't done so yet but it's on my catchup list.
You should be able to tell where Mr C and I were sitting?
Massa may be back racing at Monza Which would be a ridiculously quick recovery!
Follow the magic beer?
Oh wow great!
mm Grolsch..
oh my goodness! it's brilliant he is making such a great recovery :)
That is good news.
What about the skull fracture though? Won't that need more time?
Let's hope so!
Brilliant. Awesome. Wicked. Yaaay.
I hope this Blackthorn cider isn't taking effect alreayd....
Hello Sidepodworld!
You summed it up. My thoughts :D
Would anyone like to know what i've been up to this evening?
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/image039-jpg
:D :D :D
oh goodness.. hehe
Awesome!
Hahaha... Brilliant.. that must be a lot of clingfilm!
100 metres for £2.74, worth every penny :D
Cling filming a car?
What a deal!
:D is that a new way to take your car with you in the plane?
As a nice birthday present to my best friend :D
Right I must go to bed now!
Sleep tight, don't let the spiders or Amy bite!
I went swimming yesterday for the first time in years. Reminded me just how good it is. :D
did you clamp the car too?
:D
Night Alex
I tell you, the call i recieved once he'd found out was worth way more than the £2.74 i paid for the cling film :D priceless
bye alex
more spiders!?!
Night!
Will watch out since we now know she is really in london :P
night giggles :)
we've had out spider for the evening (mum saw it not me) so we shouldn't get more :P
Niiight!
nah its like that already, its a classic car so quite easily broke into..
You will have to do a train to top this! :P
It is good! how far did you go?
Boo, can't buy Spotlight off iTunes, is an album only track. To 7Digital! Or Amazon! Or somewhere else!
aahhh okay
No idea. I did do quite a few widths of the pool and one or two full lengths. I even tried just moving my arms to work my upper body more. Me thinks I shall have to start going regularly again.
i think that will require alot more cling film...
Ha :-)
You are an artist. There was some artist a few years ago who went round clingfilming things. I think he did the Reichstag.
Night Alex
Night Alex
I started off doing 1K a day.. that's 40 lengths. I think thats a pretty good distance to start at. Unless you have really good technique you will naturally work your upper body more, so dont worry about focusing on it!
btw, I woke up at 3am Saturday morning because my arm was tingling.
I scratched it. felt a squishy thing get rolled up and die.
'twas a little spider
Just think how many must be crawling into your mouth! :P
Erm, I was only just about able to do one length without all the energy in my legs totally disappearing!
I try not to!
eeeewwwww :(
I read somewhere that the average person in the UK swallows 6 spiders a year
Not quite ready for that iron man just yet then ;)
stop! *shiver* i'll never sleep... :(
Anyone for a late night live stream?
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Spotlight is an album-only track everywhere! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
:D !
i thought it was 3 in your lifetime?...
Just do it however slowly you need to. You dont have to do every length front cral at first.
I have been doing 15 lengths, taking 5 then another 15, taking 5 then doing 10 to finish.
yeah why not :P
I thought it was 6-7 a year :P
I've been waiting for the preview to finish on drop.io but it looks like it never will... So you would have to download it yourself to watch. but if you want a better quality to keep version of the random dino chat it is here:
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/img-3010-mov
Whooo!
NO!
Well OK then
Seriously, I haven't been swimming in years. No wonder I couldn't do one full length without feeling that tired! :D
I have live driving in the dark
Your clock appears to be correct... this may mean it is fast :P
Oh man, my bandwidth cant take any more
Thats awesome!!!
Lot of buffering
am confused how christine made this comment... is she not driving?
Now the stream has stopped
Talking of Spiders, my Wing Mirror is host to one. I've decided to call him Franck. He goes everywhere with me (obviously).
its a conspiracy!!!!!
I know it has capitals and everything! :D
Ot's either that or someone has started using capitals which is way too scary to think about
you mean they aren't actually on the motorway at all? they are still at chateau giggles?
HI!
Amy is running a green screen for them
i think so!!
mr c can't be using capitals?... it's dark and everything??...
I hate album-only songs.
Huh?
My stream keeps stopping and switching to the static pic of Christine, Giggles and the dinosaurs
Perhaps i did it on the G1 and that automatically puts the first letter into a capital?
me too. bad 3G connection?
My stream is fine, audio keeps ducking out though
ahh maybe...
I got the initial stream zooming on the clock e.t.c... But nothing after than miniute and now i can just replay that
Theres something quite relaxing about the motorway at night...unless you are in the car of course
Or he did it :P
BYEEEEE
I've still no idea what on earth any of this Qik stuff is. I feel like I've missed out on loads today. :(
mine comes and go
okay... i think i'm missing something... bye steven?..
I had to install the flash plugin, didn't take long but by the time that had happened the stream had ended, now I get a 1min vid I can replay
Say it ain't so
I know what it is but i have no idea how to get it working live
I like driving on the motorway at night, long-distance. Nice and clear.
Can'y you see it?
I am not going anywhere. Christine and Mr C just said bye
It is in the Playground under Live Commenting. There are five screens and the first one should be streaming live whenever they tell it to.
It may work better directly:
http://qik.com/sidepodcast
how did you get that?
All i got were the videos on this page http://qik.com/sidepodcast
1 1min clip and 2 others less than a second long?
If you have the playground/livestreaming windo open it should start automatically.
But if you go to the Playground page you can link through to Sidepodcast, Alex and Amy's Qik pages to see vids they recorded today.
Need an internet enabled phone, and the Qik app for that phone, if there is one.
I know how to stream, not how to view
It just started live without me doing anything. All live streams are here. http://www.sidepodcast.com/playground/livestreaming.php
okay i think it may be time for me to get some sleep, night all x
night lou
Night Lou. Don't fall over your case.
night!!
night
Goodnight
Night! if your not on here before you go have a great holiday!
oooh yes, have a great holiday!
In case you guys missed the link yesterday, here's the first bit of my review of Mutemath's debut self-titled album. Let me know what you think :)
http://woodwiss.wordpress.com/2009/08/14/review-mutemath-by-mutemath/
Spotlight is available on 7digital. On the Spotlight EP though, not checked the album
*runs to 7Digital very quickly to check!*
FOUND IT ON ITUNES! VERY HAPPY NOW! :D
Watching World Freerun Championships on iPlayer. It says Crofty is doing the Commentary.
haha, thats something to email in on friday with... I already have mine lined up!
Spotlight is now on my iPhone :D :D :D :D :D
Hahaha That mitchell and webb look is brilliant i tell you! Brilliant!
on Dave atm
Email who?
5liveF1 in FP1
ahh
If Crofty knows nothing about Freerunning, he sounds like he does. Take note Mr Legard.
Hola! My brothers and sisters
What is freerunning?
Hi Joe
hi joe
Looking forward to next weekend, the F1 race and live chat for the IRL race
Evening joe, have you seen any of the live streaming carnage from Giggles and The c's? !
No, I haven't
Me too, it'll be epic. I may have to miss the Debrief for something but I plan to be here for both races.
Speaking of IRL, I was just catching up with our friend the Pressdog. Notice how Actual Real Drivers talk to bloggers (and wear their satirical wristbands) in that series...
http://pressdog.typepad.com/dogblog/2009/08/ed-carpenter.html
Yeah, IRL can be lame, but also incredibly exciting. Love watching Marco show how much he doesn't belong in F1
I dont know how much you can see here http://www.sidepodcast.com/playground/livestreaming.php
But this screen shot summs up how much was happening at once! http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/sidepodimplosion-jpg
All those screens were live!
Google it, not sure how to explain it.
http://bbc.co.uk/i/m6n7d/?t=35m30s
Ah.. a mad man jumping around boxes in Trafalgar Square..
I was going to say Skateboarding at a skate park without a Skateboard, but not exactly right.
Yours is a better explanation. :)
I'd say that's pretty good actually!
ok, heading to bed, catch you tomorrow some time
see ya, Pat
Panda Fiction.
"Bring Out The Panda"
"The Panda's Sleeping"
"Well I guess you gonna have to wake him up"
See you tomorrow Pat
Night Pat
If anyone missed MrC getting out the car on the motorway its worth watching http://qik.com/video/2536240?page=2
The video is only half the length shown as it repeats
by the way, I'm watching REAL football. Buccaneers vs. Titans
Go Seahawks!
I support the Titans in the NRL so i guess they have a little bit of my support in the NFL too
Boo Hiss. Although an alum of mine is on the Seahawks, so I 'll pay attention to them this year
I havent really been paying attention, but i know they have a new coach so i am not expecting wonders this season
The NFL parity has made everyone nearly equal, so you still have a chance.
Ha! have you seen the western divisions :P
Its so weak we could get to the playoffs, then who knows what happens!
I've never seen anyone so excited about a contraflow. :)
And on that bombshell, I bid you a goodnight/morning.
just left my house hooray! Just 2 tram rides to go.
Erm... how can it be football if they don't use the foot to move the ball? ;)
That said, it's a good exciting sport to watch. :D
Morning, everyone.
woooo :D
I am hooooome, and I just missed the rain because it started POURING when I got on the tram to go home.
For those who missed the live broadcasts, here is a trip around Albert Park in 13 parts. We had gale force winds today so the audio is TERRIBLE, and in some you can't even hear what I'm saying. Walking also makes for very bouncy videos :D

G'morning.
Morning.
You sound like you are standing in a tornado!
Good work though :)
howdy :) thought i'd pop in while i'm waiting to be picked up :) how is everyone?
Favourite part so far Amy saying, "we can get arouuuuund the barrier" :)
Tiiiiiiiired and headachey :(
You excited and all ready to go? Not long now! :)
Aloha!
I slept very badly! Woke up feeling like a small truck had been driving forward and backwards over me. But other than that I'm fine :)
Hola! I mean :)
:)
oh goodness... well at least it wasn't a large truck ;)
yep... just a bit over an hour i think,then it's off for hours of waiting at the airport :s
ahah :D
Yes at least.
I felt like it may have been from the Chinese food. Katherine also slept badly... Lets see what Christine and Mr C report.
So Lou who are you going with on your hols?
Whilst unrelated to the Chinese, I kept waking up throughout the nice, dropped orange juice all over the floor in my room at one point and woke up with a really sour taste in my mouth. Perhaps last night was failsleep night. :(
my best friend (i think she's commented once or twice on here her name is naomi), her sister and her parents :) they are a lovely family so it should be great fun. in fact she just rang me to say she has decided she can't live 2 weeks(ish) without internet, so if there is no wifi we'll be going to internet cafes :) haha fun :)
makes sense. after falling over my case so many times yesterday the pain in my toe stopped me from sleeping much.
they are awesome videos, thanks Amy :)
Perhaps... it was... Were you drinking Orange Juice just before going to bed? Seems strange.
Well she's right. You should have seen Christine and me (that's me me not Mr C me) when we had a while without internet. It was baaaaaaad.
I knew you couldn't go 2 weeks without the internet :P
3 days at the hotel for Goodwood with no real internet was enough for me! Although even away from internet access I'm sure you'll all have an absolutely awesome time :)
hehe :) hopefully there will be wifi around :D
Having watched Amy's videos in full now can I just say
a) how awesome was that
and
b) I can see why it's called Albert Park now! All of those cars are parked there most of the time!
i just turned my laptop off, and packed it away, then all of a sudden i heard the windows start up music, opened the case and was confrunted with a 'windows experienced an unexpected shutdown' notice. which makes no sense cause i shut it down the proper way. aha silly windows.
Silly windows indeed!
Have a great holiday Lou!
thank you :) i suppose i should sign off now, and go make sure everything is ready. i'll probably be back in the comments while out there :P have a lovely time live streaming your lives and i'll catch up when i get back! :) byee! xx
Have a super awesome time on holiday!! :)
Morning all :)
Bye Lou, have a great time! :)
morning Scott. How are we this morning?
Very well thank you, and very happy that I managed to find a version of Spotlight by Mutemath that isn't album only. Now listening to it via iPhone and loving it a lot :D
And yourselves?
awesome. I shall check it out when I get back. Sounds like you liked it a lot.
Did you see my comment from yesterday morning about your blog. I must have left it just after you were here.
I am good. I am standing on the high street. Waitig for Katherine to finish in a shop.
No I haven't. I'll take a look back through the comments. Thanks! :P
it was yesterday morning about 8 or 9ish
Aha, wrong thread. Excuse me for a second! *switches threads* :P
I am about to go to a friends house for Brunch. I'm not sure I've ever had this happen to me but it should be good :)
I think this needs a Mr C moment in suggesting using the search on the Playground ;)
Morning everyone... just.
I can report that Mr C and myself both slept well but we were and still are completely exhausted. Going outside is tiring!
I also have added eye and back issues related to driving for what felt like my whole life.
Top tip for Sidepodcast People: visit Alex at night.
Oh jeez, I'm sorry! I knew you'd left a comment, but I thought I'd accepted it. I'll go un-moderate it. :P
Hi Christine.
Well you were completely and utterly outside!! :P
food was ace, no complaints or ill after effects. except maybe i put on some weight. i blame steven.
Done :) Thanks for the comment. In response, I probably meant arrogance. I get ignorance and arrogance mixed up :P
funily enough I tried that but I couldn't spot it.
i would say livecommenting page plus filter would've been the quickest way.
cool. I think we maybe both just went to sleep too soon after eating.
ah makes sense
And just to clarify, yes I'm over it and I've moved on. :P
Off down the road to get papers. Back in a bit :P
That's a little odd. In this feature of a game I'm playing, you can take a picture of your face from the front and side, and it uses the data to create yourself into the game. For some reason, it's decided to turn me into Sebastien Vettel.
Will try get a picture now...
Hi everyone. Just a quick hello. Been taking a break from the f1 world. I'll see you all next weekend :)
What game is this? FM?
Back anyways :)
Fight Night, using that Gameface feature EA put in pretty much all their sports games.
Ah I see. They should do it for racing games :D
It would be awesome :)
The thought of actually seeing yourself on the podium! :D
Morning Everyone!
Wow Amy has been Busy! i look forward to having a look at an actual F1 track!
Have a good Holiday Lou if you get a chance to read it
And i am glad Mr and MrsC got home safely from their adventures
Anyone got a live feed for BTCC?
Hello good people
Afternoon Bassano. How be you?
What is going on with MotoGP with A) those sunglasses B) those hotdogs!?
Hungover... again
Had to come home for a rest. My friends were a bad influence. And that's saying something, from me ;)
Good fun this weekend though
There's MotoGP?
Brno. BBC2 ;)
Got it, online now
Ta
Love the fan on his leathers
It's showing on ITV4. You can watch it from the itv website, itv.com. http://www.itv.com/Sport/btcc/?intcmp=NAV_SPORT7_BTCC6
It's goooo in Brnoooo!
I almost got blown over at turn 1! Then I came home and found all of my washing had been blown off the washing line onto the ground and needed to be washed again :(
Originally called Albert Car Park, the name was changed in 2004 at the request of the Save Albert Park Society, who found the original name misleading as the evil Grand Prix stopped them from parking their cars there for six weeks each year. Or something like that.
Hehe, wow... I had no idea you could actualy park on the start line! And the chicane is pretty funny :P The corners look so strange without the gravel and the neet litle bollards:D
Was awesome to see the CarPark they go through as an actual car park :P And you dont really get the views of the city when the catch fencing is all there... or see how close it all gets that was interesting!
Pitlane with all the rubber left down was great :D I am glad they labeled it!
Its amazing how different the track looks when its not set up, much more than i expected! That was epic though, getting around the whole circuit you must have walked for ages!
Well done Amy! That was briiliant!
Good Afternoon guys.
I guess I take it for granted that I can go there anytime and see it in all its non-track glory :D Stay tuned next weekend when I shall live broadcast a trip to the F1 Merchandise shop ;)
That sounds great. I am kinda scared to Qik anything now as idont think i can quite top that!
I will try to get that pic of the white mclaren sign. It won be that easy as it is on a roundabout!
You know we are easily impressed though. :)
hehe, i cant get 4 cameras on the go either!
How about Sidepodcat action?
Wasn't a misspell. I was on about my cats there
Not to mention i dont have the legendary owl on Alex's shelf :P
Absolutely.
Every camera helps :)
Can't believe you went to Giggles place and I missed it. I'm up the road from him. Going outside is bad
Afternoon all,
Just came back from my run - in one week I have gone from couch potato to 1 mile in 8 minutes!
I'm very happy with myself and I really feel like I can make it to 5km in a few weeks for the DHL relay...
Whats the best way to send stuff to the drop from a phone? Does Alex email in or is there an app which uploads it directly?
Aww. There's always next time.
email it. Address is on the site
Email [email protected], I think that's the best way.
Hey Gavin
You cant have been a couch potato!
Best of luck with 5K... thats nuts :D
Yeah, I was busy having fun so that's ok
Next time! Are you coming sidepodpubbing at the end of the month? :D
It is nuts - but I got roped into it ;)
How are you good sir?
I'm not sure we should live stream that ;)
Not as far as I know. But we will at some point.
everything must be streamed. it's the sidepodlaw.
Hello. I have returned to my own habitat.
Hungover and recovering from a hard (but enjoyable) weekend
Got invited to Sweden by some incredible girls on Friday night :D
hahahaha... do we have a choice?
Hey Pat
I need more nights out like these. Although i did get a finnish birthday card :D
Awesome!
Get in!
You're very welcome
I don't know how to prepare for -25 temperatures
Go in Summer - it's nicer!
i think I may have to. I can't go anytime soon so maybe I should wait. If you'd seen them you understand the urgency :)
Pics or it didn't happen, my friend!
Is match of the day not available on the iPlayer?
I just found someone on Livejournal with a Algersuari icon and I am kind of in shock. I didn't realise he had fans!
Never mind, found out it isn't :(
That's fair. I'll find you on facebook. She accepted my friend request this morning. Only problem they're all WAY too young.
Just 18
Did we see the tweet earlier from Marco Andretti?
Is he meeting USF1 or a NASCAR team?
Gotta be USF1, I think.
Hi, everyone. :D Did anyone watch MotoGP?
OOOh.... USF1 i say... :D
Excellent rumour :D
Yeah.. Its not the same without stoner
Hey Journeyer. Was dipping in and out. Poor Lorenzo
Is this legal on Amy's 1/2 +7 graph?
Hi Journeyer, nah I missed it. I've missed most of the year. I've recorded it (and most of them) on my PVR though. I've got this week off so I might do a bit of catching up midweek :-)
What graph?
this graph!
I'mnot aware of this concept but I think I understand. In which case I don't qualify :)
Indeed. Let's not spoil it for Pat, though. :D
oh no, not that one, that one is rubbish
this one is better.
Will Pat watch it before Xmas then? :D
I agree - the gap between myself and Mrs. Goat when we met was half the age +7!
That upper age limit scares me looking at that graph
so, I just watched a video of the Backstreet Boys doing their first live performance of their new single, and they are FAR TOO OLD for synchronised choreography. Even I am embarrassed for them.
Yeah, its all about the licenses with Sky and that. Football League show is on there though....
Afternoon all.
Hey RG
Just seen John Cleland on BTCC coverage. I swear he doesn't age at all.
Nah don't worry about me, I'll have forgotten by the time I get around to it!
hahah, probably not!
I'll watch most of the stuff I've got during the winter break while you lot are clamouring for things to watch...
Hi RG
Same here. We are the smart ones!
I do keep up regularly with the MotoGP though!
Meh, I have a 360. I can make my own racing ;)
I have football, rugby and stuff. So I'm settled in for winter.
Found you first!
Am logging in
In fact I have big plans for the video editor on Forza 3. So many ideas :P
I'm on the other side, have a PS3. There's some good racing online, even though you have to watch out for the kiddies attacking you to get in front. Or going the opposite direction.
Boo.
Had to get my butt off the sofa and go down to the computer room :)
I'll be getting a PS3 this year at some point for one reason and one reason only - GT5.
Aww poor you!
Absolutely. Why bust a gut to keep up with everything through the summer, then have nothing to do for 4-5 months of winter? I find winter is ideal for watching ALMS and touring car.
I did last year and had planned to this year, didn't happen though. The best thing about it is it shouldn't take long to catch up because the races are only 45 mins plus a bit of pre/post coverage which can be skimmed through.
I'm hungover. Breathing is taxing right now ;)
Bassano we have the same Birthday?
We established that AGES ago. You have a poor memory Mr Goat :)
They even do finger guns in time with the lyric "shot"
I dont expect to see that untill next april :(
If rumours are right, there's WRC and NA***R, and F1 cars. The Ferrari is available on Prologue,
hehe, they look like a high school band!
In any case I've seen the result on Twitter and Autosport.com. Talk away!
That's just embarrassing but then again, so is admitting clicking that link
Nascar and Wrc are confirmed in the trailer. I expect there might be at leas one other licence they havent revealed yet
Was that at the pub? Seems like a lot of drinks ago...
So Trulli won then! Unlucky Alonso.
Was in the comments before then
I agree, but I won't admit clicking on it ;-)
Hi all
Gavin - on my friends list. See "Ida", she's the brunette
Hey Guille
They just "announced" Lambo and Bugatti have been added to the series va GT PSP. Kaz has also said that what was shown in the trailer was a "very small portion" of the game. So they still have some big bombshells to drop, I'm sure.
Heya sir.
Oooooooh. Yaay.
Hi Guille
I saw him at goodwood!
I would show you some pictures of my ski day yesterday, but I forgot the cell phone cable at the office...
Voila!
http://www.gtplanet.net/lamborghini-bugatti-coming-to-gran-turismo-series/
The online racing on Prologue was really slow to initiate, there are long pauses between races. Hoping they allow people to create their own tournaments like you can on Wipeout HD. The Framework used on Race Driver:Grid, is better too, Voting system. Doubt either of these will be there.
Pics or it didn't happen ;)
My legs say it happened! :-)
Prologue was just a teaser and a Beta test. Expect everything to be much improved!
So I'm back now...
Here was brunch...
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/photo-189
(Eggy bread, bacon and fruit - proper American style brunch with maple syrup)
Also my friend, the cook, has a bubble wrap wall calendar:
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/photo-190
Think about it: Ferrari, Lambo, Bugatti, Le Mans, Nordschelife, Indy, Top Gear Test Track, 16 player online, dynamic weather and day/night cycle, damage, WRC, NASCAR - it's already much improved, and apparently there's still a hell of a lot more to come!!!
ahh! where's mine!? that looks delicious :D
It can't be American. It has fruit in it. ;)
It was delicious!
The bread was even home made bread!
If you feel like you should roll out of your chair afterwards then it was American ;)
:D
wow, if it wasn't because I've just had breakfast I'd have one
Who is the motogp presenter with the worlds worst sunglasses?
We had to have another pot of coffee before we could get up after it.
I now need sausages and bacon with maple syrup! mmmmm
Charlie Cox?
I wish it was Sunday again tomorrow so I could do Sunday brunch. I missed out today, I slept in a wee bit too late :D
The younger guy
So I'm not sure if anyone is interested after all the live streaming that there has been but Katherine and I have had an idea...
We are going to attempt to put up the blinds in the study this afternoon. And insanely Katherine has suggested, "why don't we just live stream it?"
So... In a short while we will start (ustream only)...
Some people said they would watch me typing the other day... Feel free to ignore us :)
This is DIG instead of DIY. (Do It Giggles).
We're just getting things sorted out.
Mr C I think you are to blame for this :)
I'm sure we will watch and ask ourselves why :)
You people. :)
Yes! We knew we'd get her over to the dark side :)
You can have a late meal. Yesterday I had my lunch at 5:30 pm
Will the legendary owl be there?
I swear everytime I open Spotify to listen to some stuff, Giggles comes on and does a live stream.
Anybody been to Thorpe Park recently? I'm planning on going mid September.
Ahh but if I had taken the time to make my usual Sunday brunch, it would have been too late to get to Albert Park and I had an audience waiting ;)
I do like the sound of a 5.30pm lunch though :D
She will be in the video as well I think she'll have to be :)
Of course :)
My gym is right next to it... But i havent been inside
You'll have to intervene and tell me if I'm about to do something stupid!
I may be going Friday or Saturday..
It's pretty good, not as big as Alton Towers but it's a good day out
Very busy in the summer holidays
Left a bit, right a bit
DON'T DRILL THERE! :)
They seem to have built a lot of new stuff there in the bast 5 years. I looks awesome from across the lake
(the park does too)
For the multitude of people who reminded me that the Upcoming Schedule was somewhat behind the times, I have now updated it.
http://www.sidepodcast.com/about/upcoming-schedule/
it's a good reason...
Yeah, I also thought it was a good idea... until I reached 10:30pm and my hunger wasn''t showing up for dinner :-(
Thanks Christine
I've been loads of times to Alton Towers, fancied a change. There are some interesting rides at TP.
I'll be going midweek, when things are usually a bit quieter.
There's a show tonight? Well my schedule has been thrown up in the air then.
Debrief tonight, yay!
There is?!? YAAAAAAAAY! :D
Don't know what time it is in these non-Top Gear days though
You know how I was upset that none of the ustream things were recorded?
I've just noticed next to the broadcast now button a record now button...
Do you think the the fact I've not ever pressed that might have something to do with it?
I am writing some show notes as we speak.
Oh and I had such great plans to sleep! Ah well, I can sleep when I'm dead.
Nah, it's easier to blame Mr C
We don't know either. Probably back to normal, 7pm ish.
Depends what time Alex finishes putting up his blinds :)
Mr C says that's exactly the reason, yes. He is absolving himself of all blame :)
Ok,ta
:)
Nothing new there then ;)
:)
No pressure then :)
Just a quick thing to mention... While I am very unlikely to swear I can't be held responsible for Katherine... I've warned her but you know when your boyfriend is putting up blinds incorrectly live on the internet things can get a bit tense :)
Noted :)
This is Giggles, you are live on DIG, please do not say...
I am off to london i havent set up qik yet but i might stream some stuff in london
My account is here. I wont be doing anything for about 45-50 mins though... i will comment on the train :D
http://www.qik.com/dubaish
Going live now!
Cool, was there supposed to be a link there
S'ok, got it now
Got it
I am way too excited about this.
Oooh, yay!
I'm amazed at how different it looks! I thought at least the pitwall and some outside paraphernalia would remain but no, they take loads down..
Mr C says have you found the record button?
:D
Ahhh, how am I sposed to write a Debrief with this sort of entertainments on? :)
Hi Katherine
Owl Seen
Mr C will add to playground when he's finished crawling around on the floor plugging our studio back in.
Do we think Giggles talks through his life when he's not commenting or live streaming?
The printer might get dusty?
:D
Putting blinds up with stuff in way: Health & Safety Nightmare,
Drilling is messy
I speak from experience
OOOPS.
This is way better than Eastenders
If you're willing to take a risk, get an old bedsheet and cover everything.
Agreed.
Just asked my sister if she wants to watch DIG with me, she said no. She is soooo odd!
Is she still recovering from her injuries?
The feed is down
Gah, how will I know how it ends?
I do think she hit her head. That must be it
next week, same channel
Back now
No stream here.
#blamethebunny
he unplugged something ?
No, I'm watching the playback
It's like the iPlayer
The GPlayer :D
nick, i can't seem to get an embed code for your qik channel, is it disabled or something?
live broadcasting it will take them twice the time, but it will be much funnier :-)
I may watch it later. Since there is a debrief (yay) I think I ought to get caught up on podcasts...
I had internet problems but now I am back and appear to be looking at a still image?
Is DIG still playing? I'm getting a still picture put they may have just left the room
Guess what I did?
ahh thats better.
Unplug the router?
switched off the router?
Drilled through a power cable?
Yes!
When you're near the camera the lighting is fine. That open window space confuses the wb cam. You should put some blinds up
:D
:D :D
I bet Mr C is really glad that he's not the only one who gets his cables muddled up.
I hate electrics
Dark magic there
what are the blinds called again?
I have a friend at work who says all the electronic boxes on the plane are just boxes of smoke. When they break, all the smoke leaks out
New game idea:
Take some photos of the bits and bats, and we'll instruct you what to do.
"hopefully it should be fine"
famous last words
I can't see the video but I will be disappointed if the owl hasn't made an appearence!
there is no instructions on the ikea website. blinds must be self explanatory. this scares me as i need to buy some too. I shall watch with interest.
There's usually one large diagram with no words
He did
afternoon sidepodcast :)
ahh!
http://www.ikeafans.com/forums/ikea-instructions/21305-lindmon-blinds-instructions-annotated.html
cheaper for an international company?
hi rachel
Hi Rachel
We are watching Alex live stream his window blind installation
He has named them?
Hello Rachel
IKEA did ;)
http://www.sidepodcast.com/playground/livestreaming.php
I have to say, when we dreamed up Sidepodcast, we never thought a couple of years later, we would be watching someone live stream putting their blinds up!
nick can you stream something very short from qik please? don't think i can add you to the page without it?
Usually something like "Hettastromperlomperagattttalattatrotterabbavikingveelovedeemooses"
ooh. that is very cool.
Sidepodhomeimprovement?
Could be worse, he could have asked you to help yesterday!
their dining chairs and tables all have Finnish place names. Thus, their dining chairs and tables are AWESOME.
Seems fine
:lol:
I have drop.io'ed the instructions in case you get stuck ;)
Their Rugs all have Danish names. We are not happy about this.
Bit like this?
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/sdc10614-jpg
What's the Odense rug like?
you wouldn't say brilliant if you look at those, those instructions don't make sense to me, plus the pdf pages aren't in order :D
to me, to you, to me...
A Møøse once bit my sister...
I think it's more Danish words than place names ... but if there were an Odense Rug it would be small, easy to walk through and brick-coloured with a few nice surprises ;)
Do you know, on my holiday we stayed at a Scandinavian hotel and they served moose in the buffet, so I said "ve all like de mooses in sveeden" and I got a few dirty looks! :(
have added startledbunny, nick and jeremy to the live page. please yell if i've missed anyone.
Erm, I meant mousse as in chocolate mousse for the buffet!
the instructions came from an ikea forum, so they are possibly old. there are no official ones on the ikea site from any country :D
Still no instructions in the box?
Drilling tip, when my friend put up my curtain poles, I help the vacuum cleaner pipe just under where he drilled & there was no mess
last games of yesterday's Del Potro-Roddick game replay. And I have to go after, so I see you later. good luck with those blinds alex!
Very good
See ya Guille
It might be a bit noisy on the live stream though!
:)
If you're drilling, have you got any rawplugs supplied with the blind? If you're drilling into stone, you'll need them.
YAY!
aw, p22 is helping!
it's entertaining. it's like we never left.
Is he keeping up with the comments?
I don't remember rawl plugs ever being supplied by IKEA
Rawl Plug emergency solved!
Phew
IKEA don't really seem to keen on you actually assembling their furniture.
:D
:lol:
did we miss this earlier?
when I got my TV cabinet, in one of the panels they hadn't drilled any of the holes for the cams, it was just a plain white piece of fibreboard.
I saw that but had no explanation
Ah, it's Jon
Johnny Herbert just did the draw for the grid reversal in Race 3 of the BTCC and surprise surprise, it's James Thompson, the car he's taking over at Silverstone.
"I'm just the drilling man"
:lol:
*on pole
spooky moment. ikea catalogue just fell through the letterbox... on a sunday?
i think they're watching.
[Now scared to check the mail by the front door]
I want BigSidepodBrother, because I could easily spend 24 hours a day watching sidepodfolk do menial tasks.
I used to work for IKEA ;)
there are 382 pages.
we can't scan them.
:)
Ha ha
Qik Stream the catalogue
post.... sunday...?
it's AWESOME!
Check today's daily comments from #34
How many brackets to hold the blind up? 2 or 3?
Right I should be going live in 5. Sorry of its rubbish!
Chrstine's next librivox project?
we didn't ask for it? it just arrived.
They pay people peanuts to do it
Not via the Royal Mail
we're watching... well, everyone. go for it.
That happens
Going live!
is it the 2010 one? I can't wait to get that. My poor Ikea-less homeland misses out on all this fun.
Ignore, I see its 3
Really?
sometimes when I watch British people talk I think "it must be tiring to have to do that accent the whole time"
ikea = genius.
:)
:lol:
You'll only need 2 screws for each bracket, unless this blind weighs a ton.
i see no nick?
Can't see anything Nick
it just requires so much thought when I do it! And then my face hurts from using different muscles to make different sounds.
Nick, have you got it set to Private? I did that on my first attempt.
Masonary bit?
I am surprised an F1 team hasn't offered Giggles a job. With all the tools and things, he looks just like a mechanic.
I can forgive her :D
Here comes the drilling
wow! there's no turning back now!
For the folk at home: Safety goggles are advisable
No goggles for Giggles, tut tut
Are you sure that's a masonary bit?
Battery drill may not have enough gumpf
good advice!
is he going through the lintel?
is it metal?
I do HSE work and this is considered very naughty!
Do you need a corded drill
I have one
metal.
not mental.
But highly and strangely entertaining.
go pay him a visit! Second sidepoddeception at Giggles in two days!
Masonary bit has an arrow head
ahh good. push harder then.
.
that looks masonary to me. yup.
Looks right
Do you want a corded drill
20mins
how far away are you? challenge bassano :)
Text me your address
I'll grab my jeans
do it do it do it
pleeeeeease!
:D
I have one too, I can be there in 24 hours or so?
And you can hold the iphone for the 2nd camera angle.
If only Bassano had Qik too, he could run like we did!
YES! please
ahh, best day ever.
sidepodcast + ikea. bringing people together.
bassano said text, not email? not sure if that makes any difference.
Official. Valencia will not top this.
Got addy
we need a countdown clock.
T-MINUS 20 MINS
go go go.
I'm doing Google maps now!
Can we play cards again?
I can't live comment whilst driving!
This man knows no form of H&S
Lower Bruce
Other railways are available.
LOWER.
Alex shall I via Beaulah or Central?
Higher
Heard it
He say Central.
Leaving flat now
HIGHER.
I'd go for higher, but LCLT says no duplicates.
don't forget the drill.
Lower
oh that would be so funny.
stay away from any contraflows
any chance bassano might bump into nick along the way?
where's north?
oh internet, why do you hate me so? do you want me to sleep? because I refuse! STOP KILLING GIGGLES.
all good here. no probs with stream.
I am having wireless issues again, they always kick in around 1am. Time to try the 3G!
Tell us about your brunch.
3G is working much better than wonky wireless. If only there wasn't someone still sleeping in my lounge (their 3 night stay is now at 7 weeks and counting), I'd just go down there where the signal is better.
Got to go now :(
I'll find out later what happened.
Bye everybody.
when I say sensible I mean completely crazy
:)
I would call that french toast.
My friend used to talk about eggy bread. I have no idea if it is the same thing, as I have not tried either eggy bread or French toast.
If we wiki "eggy bread"
French toast
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Eggy bread)
They are the same, I call it eggy bread and always have done since we made it on Brownie pack holiday
She was obsessed with New York, so it could be an American thing.
French toast (eggy bread, gypsy toast in the UK, pain perdu in France, pain doré in French Canada, torrijas in Spain, and rabanada in Brazil)
Language lessons.
gypsy toast? never heard that one before
Afternoon all. Just read Mr C's twitter message... what the?
oops!
yes I'm watching. Makes more sense now!
currently playing this, turned up to eleven for bassano:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TGEQmgyRYg
I just looked at the data charge for my qik streaming. Ouch.
brilliant choice!
DON'T STOP!
Don't stop!
one more for bassano:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ut-wIO-Lzc
(alex play it from 20s in)
:D
:D
:D
:D
:D
Best. Streaming. Moment. Ever.
silhouette boogy
YOU THINK YOU'RE TIRED??
It took us two hours extra... any bets on Bassano?
16:35.
arrival: 16:38
2hrs in that queue??
there was more than one :)
I'll say 16:30
remember sidepodtime is elastic.
16:44
come on bassano!
ouch.
16:32
there's somebody on the phone!
he's nearly there :)
ruuuuuuuun!
It's 14:31. NO!
is bassano bringing dave the cameraman with him?
Those of us who have met Bassano... if he's going to be drilling, is he tall enough?
ooh i saw stairs on qik!
for about 3 seconds.
me too. stopped again.
black screen for me
I get the feeling we still need a bit of work with Qik...
yyyyaaaaaaaaaay!
he's there!
I WAS RIGHT!
a new sidepodface!
well done!
Proof Bassano exists!
i (hearts) bassano!
Afternoon all.
Live Giggles and Bassano now?
This is the best Sidepodday ever!
Emergency drill supplies!
people who exist: Christine, Bassano, Alex, Katherine
people whose existance is questionable: Mr C.
This is the best Sidepodweekend ever!
Can anyone call out Bassano for emergency sidepoddiy?
his drill is WAY better.
what's the betting that if Bassano drills through a cable, it's the phone line?
If only the invention of our aerospce blu tac had been a success there would be no need for drilling
Afternoon all, why is Alex at Bassano's house?
ohoh no, bent drill!
One day they will make a film about this.
If they have hit metal now should they not try a metal drill rather than a masonary drill?
Alex and Katherine are putting up a blind but didn't have the right drill, so Bassano offered to come over and help.
Why does Giggles remind me of Michael McIntyre? :D
To drill a couple of holes
Other way round. Bassano to the rescue!
i said it was metal!
Why exactly?
Use a metal drill then
ooh that explains it :D
thats so kind, i love the sidepodfamily :D
ours have small strips of METAL beneath the concrete lintel. you just have to break through that.
give it a go, what's the worst that can happen?
*cue the house collapsing around them*
METAL drill bit first.
then concrete.
What metal is the lintel made of? Try using a magnet to see if it is metal or concrete on top
Hahah, when Bassano drills and Alex talks, Alex sounds like a dalek
genius!
giggles, do that.
Bassano suggests the Jeremy Clarkson way of DIY.
bassano... are there any metal drills bits?
I tried to ask my Dad but he is out and doesn't have a fancy phone :(
i mean to drill metal.
:P
oh shoot. too funny.
Doesn't he know you need to be able to get him 24/7?
That's not a drill, it's a hole punch!
I haven't laughed this much for aaaages.
lets just drill multiple holes until something works :D
This is like the Chuckle Brothers.
Do they have any little sticks of dynamite?
how can we follow this???
Alex & Bassano should be in Panto this Christmas
how can giggles not know what a stepladder is??
sidepodpanto :)
Sidepodpanto?
Ah, beat me to it!
how do you own a step ladder... if you don't know what a step ladder is?
what did you ask for when they gave you that instead?
Hey all, missed much in the last 45?
go to the live stream right now!
best.television.ever.
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/alexandronov
You won't believe what you have missed.
http://www.sidepodcast.com/playground/livestreaming.php
If these blinds get sucessfully installed I will be so happy. I'm emotionally invested.
yay for breakthrough!
for bassano:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OVjt2JfiGw
This is better than when they made the breakthrough in the channel tunnel
Don't care, I'm too happy as it is.
it's one small hole for giggles...
It's going to be so funny if they don't reach the bottom of the window
"I need a screwdriver. I haven't perfected the Phillips finger yet."
Comedy genius.
1-0 at half time I see, assuming Spurs are playing well
Best team, scorcher of a goal, happy days.
It's Alex Gigglesborough!
Having just come across the tennis rankings I am surprised Amy is not in tears
i take it back, no F1 job for Giggles, but Bassano looks right at home with a screwdriver.
the Qik is on a big delay for me, must be the upload time
I did have a wee inner tantrum and leave the following comment on my tennis forum: "I THOUGHT I COULDN'T HATE YOU ANYMORE THAN I ALREADY DID, ANDY MURRAY, BUT YOU MADE IT POSSIBLE. WELL DONE"
How upset will you be when he passes Rog?
Psssh, not gonna happen. But, I would have to fully endorse this comment left by someone else:
"IM GONNA BE IN SCOTLAND ON MONDAY, YOU GUYS
I WILL BE SURE TO BURN IT DOWN FOR ALL OF US"
as you can see, we use caps a lot :D
How can anyone get wound up enough to use caps about such a dull game?
I like the fact that Bassano has never been to Giggles house before but he's been there just ten minutes and already drilled a load of holes there.
We just arrived and head Chinese. Left the house how we found it!
*had
We didn't think it wouldn't take long!!
Success!!
"don't panic!"
wow that very nearly in sync!
Why is the blind only half the width of the window?
hundreds of Andy Murray disliking Roger/Rafa loving people in one place :D
So why not have one full width blind?
Creates options!
ah yes, this is why my parents refuse to have curtains that close with a pull-string, because sometimes you only want to close one side.
I assumed it was to ensure perfect broadcasting lighting conditions
Live dangerously. No middle bracket
I think Gavin also needs one of those mugs!
My favourite thing so far today, Bassano saying to Giggles: "I'll do it, you yammer about it."
Should I be doing something else while this is on?
I mean have it on while I'm doing something, rather than sit watching intently..
I'm watching BTCC.
I might miss something though, best not risk it.
If anyone asks me why I am so tired at work tomorrow, I shall tell them I stayed up well past 2am to watch someone on the other side of the world install some blinds.
Mr C is supposed to be setting up the studio. He can't tear himself away.
Is it good or is it the usual Knockhill crashfest?
its just so captivating
It is insanely addictive
it really is.
I can be there in 3.5 hours
*checks flights*
debrief can wait. it's waited 3 weeks already.
:)
First live streamed sporting injury
haha :-)
So much has happened in that three weeks, I'm really looking forward to the debrief!
it's gonna start late and end later.
sudden b-word, gonna refresh it
Have updated: http://wiki.sidepodcast.com/page/Sporting+injuries
i can't believe it's not butter?
Nobody expected one anyway, so any time is good
At least I didn't. Maybe I should have.
I tried and got the message "Due to insufficient processing time international bookings are not available inside 2 days of departure." so I can leave on the 19th at 3.30pm and land at Heathrow on the 20th at 12.10pm after stopovers in Singapore and Zurich. Do you think they'll be finished by then?
Watching other people work is quite fun
Massa may be back racing at Monza {Comment #23}
I am really pleased about this. Even if the real return date turns out a little later than that, having his smiley face back in the paddock will be great. Especially considering how much stuff Felipe is recovering from.
for an extra $200 I can skip Zurich and land on Wednesday afternoon instead.
Why does the last update say Bassano Rice?
http://wiki.sidepodcast.com/page/A+Potted+History
Race 3 currently has a 5 car chain with Thommo at the front and it's quite exciting. Plato's also storming through from the back.
I will be in London Stansted tomorrow 23:55 (just have to rob a bank tomorrow morning)
I went swimming yesterday for the first time in years. Reminded me just how good it is. {Comment #44}
Join the Sidepodswimming Club :D
(OK, my swim last night was the first time in 47 hours, but still...)
It was very Challenge Anneka.
As good as live streaming is, I am shocked you want to leave Finland.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ut-wIO-Lzc
:D
Neal just shoved Thommo off the track. Dirty son of a...
true. Sorry you have to manage without me.
Qik is very near to Ustream now, but the camera could use a 90degree rotate ;-)
PLATO. IS. 4TH. AFTER. STARTING. LAST!
Have fun! I landed at Stanstead at 2355 last night... and left at 0115
Make that 3rd!!! :D GO PLATO!
Not surprised to hear it was Neal :-)
Is he punting as well?
Nope!
Plato v Neal for 2nd. This can only end well.
YES! GET IN! 2ND PLACE! CHEVY 1-2! W0000000000T! :D
all screws are done. goo bassano.
Faaaaaaaaaaaaantastic! Go the Chevys! :D
Awesome last couple of laps between Turkington and Giovanardi. Awesome battle, BTCC at it's best.
yikes. don't fall sir!
who needs BTCC when you have one foot on a stepladder and one foot on a chair :D
17th to 2nd for Plato. Exactly what he did at Snetterton in Race 2 - from the back to the podium. Awesome, awesome stuff.
good to know bassano isn't unstable.
is the beer cold?
yay!
can you unwind them?
Well done! *golf clap*
wooo! well done!
they reach!!
yay it covers the whole window!
ooh awesome, i shall have to watch it later :)
i've had hickups for the last few hours and they wont go away :( :(
Greetings everyone.
Would it just not be the perfect poetic justice for Badoer to be taken out of the race while overtaking a back-marker ? :P
The wonderful Aussies at F1rejects.com state that Badoer would have gotten a 4th palce medal in their "Mirrors - What Mirros" award.
looks lovely!
brilliant work peoples :)
Although the team tactics at the last corner were a bit disappointing to see, but it was for the championship I guess.
a great combined effort!
we don't need any blinds erecting, but if we did we'd call bassano :)
I need some blinds taken down and replaced with curtains, I'd call Bassano if he was closer :D
those go across the top to hold a slat
nice one aitch.
alex picked a bad day to give up drinking?
ahh they are the sticky thing in the manual!
Brilliant, nice work :-)
hooky thing much better than sticky thing because hooky thing is removable.
I just downloaded UK map data for the GPS on my phone in case I ever need to find Giggles' house. I also got Finland map data because you never know when that might come in handy.
My computer locked up just as the blinds were being lowered.. Can't believe I missed the grand unveiling
can see you better when you stand by the light.
Maybe Giggles can fix it or or Bassano has a tool that will cure them.
and you're done!!
nice work!
YAY!
Job done
Well done :lol:
thank you everybody!
Byeee
That was *brilliant*
bye!
When is the Debrief due to start?
my flatmate's husband went for a planned 30-min walk into the little forest behind our house and came back 5 hours later.
very much later. maybe 8pm (ish). i haven't even started.
if only he had turn by turn navigation! I downloaded the Finnish voice pack too to make it more authentic.
Thanks
You are planning to listen to directions in Finnish?
OKs, I shall get some sleep and pop my head back in in 2 hours.
night amy!
:D :D I wonder if the voice sounds like Heikki :D :D
Night
You are crazy
Good night Amy
Phew, time for going out for dinner then.
I've had a great two hours, sure you guys have too, so see you again in two more hours.
I did have a wee inner tantrum and leave the following comment on my tennis forum: “I THOUGHT I COULDN’T HATE YOU ANYMORE THAN I ALREADY DID, ANDY MURRAY, BUT YOU MADE IT POSSIBLE. WELL DONE” {Comment #717}
In that case, it's probably best if I didn't mention Mika Kallio...
I forgot about Moto GP. Looks like Rossi is getting inside Lorenzo's head. He is going to break him the same way he broke Gibernau.
Quick question. Did LH get in trouble for the doughnut he did post-race in the British GP?
No
I'm sure he got fined for it.
I'm guessing it was frowned upon, but I never heard anything official
I don't think he did.
http://fiapenaltywatch.blogspot.com/
He didn't ..I also keep a note of those stats
Hi Jackie. You missed live DIY from Chateau Giggles
Actually the penaltywatch site only keeps a list of what happened during the race, there are other penalties throughout the weekend.
Yesterday?
Ah right
There is a show tonight?
Yes, but not for just over an hour and a half.
Really, so late but I guess Top Gear has finished
Everyone was captivated by the DIY SOS: Giggles Special.
It's too late for me sadly :(
I looked at the three screen thing the other day that was on drop.io and found that a bit too much information for me so I haven't looked at todays?
No. Giggles was trying to put up a blind but had to send for Bassano as he had the proper drills to do the job.
Try Giggles's ustream http://www.sidepodcast.com/playground/livestreaming.php and Amy has a tour of Albert Park on hers whch I am about to start
I saw the first two bits of Amy's tour (very windy) and I also watched the pitlane one :D
Her mic doesn't like the wind by the sound of things.
http://www.sidepodcast.com/2009/08/16/a-live-tour-of-albert-park/
We are in the garden with Bassano! Having a good time :)
*waves*
Bassano just used the word topography
How is his sporting injury?
and?
Updates:
1) I've got beer
2) Bassano says it's "just" a skinned knuckle
3) Katherine has a paper cut - noticed when she put some lime juice in it.
He was describing the garden's topography
OUCH
I am loving Amy's tour of Albert Park
It was absolutely awesome.
Did my tour of waterloo video work earlier?
I will check that out next
didn't see you sadly :(
Alianora, I commented on your blog but I forgot to enter a name, so that 'Guest' was me...
Notmally I am the one who does that. I usualy just post another comment saying that I forgot to put my name in
Your stream on the page within the Playground was black all through the Giggles/Bassano stream earlier, I've just checked your Qik account and it shows no videos have been uploaded.
I did that last night but it doesn't seem to have appeared, I think I closed the window too soon.
Mr C, on the Livestreaming page, Jeremy's link takes me to Nick's Qik page.
ahh, cheers. i fix that.
I am sure she will pick up your comment here.
Thanks
I'm watching the world freerunning championships on iPlayer. David Croft's the lead commentator!
Bassano has just left...
bassano has left the building?
should we guess how long it takes him to get home?
Did he get back in his helicopter to someone else's rescue?
25 mins I guess
I think his first comment will be at 19:43
:)
I think so :)
I think this whole weekend may have blown Katherine's mind!
i think it's blown ours.
and mine...
Sadly I don't think I'll be able to join in the debrief. Must have some downtime...
Have a great time!
you're actually driving to SPC towers, aren't you? ;)
hahahahaha
He needs a boat to get there
and a space hopper, I've heard
I assume that is after you have reached Rockall
you just know he'll need a skipper.
I knew I shouldn't have let Bassano leave!
Steven - it's your turn! ;)
I am no good to you. I don't have a boat or a clue what to do with one if I did.
Well well well...

You know, I should be surprised, but I'm not.
Promotional Purposes, thats genius.
Let me get this straight. Ferrari are going to promote themselves at their own test track where they can measure everything possible?
It's funny that the teams allow Badoer to test the car, but not Schumacher. Shows just how much they hate him.
Yet evil at the same time.
it took em while to work around that rule.
sheesh
what is this 100km limit?
Quicker than the 9 other teams.
I bet he does about 50 promotional laps split into 5-10 lap runs. I wonder if he will drive he 2007 car to get himself up to speed before he gets in the new car.
but he still can't test KERS, right? KERS is only allowed >100 and he is not allowed to drive faster.
is that speed, or distance?
We need Alianora for this.
What's also funny is that the teams don't have a problem with "promotional events". It would seem rather hypocritical of teams like Renault and Red Bull to be against it when they're practically out there doing demo runs of their cars every bleedin month. On the other hand, the cars they use aren't 2009-spec cars, where as in Ferrari's case it will be.
I wonder if they'll get even craftier and whack new aero parts on for good measure?
I have returned, safe in the knowledge that there is a little part of me in Giggles' house :D
oh, I read that wrong, sorry.
OMG! MYSTIC STEVEN!!!!
you may be right. it's badly written.
Nicely done Steven!
Huh?
More guessing?
Very well predicted
We were predicting what time your first comment would be when you got back, and Steven has nailed it.
It's interesting they use the word promotion. Demo runs are legal provide they ask Bridgestone for demonstation tyres and Bridgestone afree to supply them
I said your first comment would be at 19:43
I was actually finishing hanging the washing up that was half done and have made a cup of tea since I returned
Pretty good considering I have no idea where either of them live and what the traffic is like.
so they planned this for schumi too?
This is sidepodcast
A cup of tea sounds like a mighty fine idea.
No traffic on the way home
How did I know you might say that? :)
I have another RWS race tonight, this time at one of my favourite tracks in the game, Anderstorp.
I assumed now that the other teams have declined to allow Schumacher a full test this is plan B. I would love to have seen them ask for a test for Badoer and everyone to agree to it. The Schumacher fans would have blown a fuse.
:)
you know me too well!
Ummm... Just found something else that you left here... Your sunglasses...
Sorry :(
#sidepodspace
I know I have criticised some of the things NASA have done in the past but I think someone in there has finally flipped.
http://www.nasa.gov/topics/aeronautics/features/irve.html
Bassano visits Giggles 2 - Return of the shades
Yeah, I realised that when I got out of the car.
I'll get the next weekend or the following week when I'm on earlies
I just realised that the Joe said there was a hurricane heading to Florida and there is shuttle sitting on the launch pad. If it gets damaged this mat delay the next launch.
That's interesting, I can see how it might maybe work...
They aren't even going to retrieve it??
How is the inflatable hotel coming along?
Yay, live thread, *jumps*
NASA are trying to upset Christine again. The launch was scheduled to be not before August 25th and now they say it will be ahead of schedule on Aufust 24th at 1:58 a.m. EDT/ 6:58 am UK. What kind of stupid time is that for a launch?
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/main/index.html
I haven't heard anything about the inflatable hotel since the ompetition was launched.
What happened to always being one minute past the hour? I was just starting to get used to that.
I thought it was too
goodweird to be true.They are just trying to wind us up
Excellent show. What now?
Errrm
I'm DIY'd out, so not that
Aha, I am going to listen to Lukeh's answers.
I've got a lot to catch up on, will do it all this week driving to work I think
kathi! I forgot to ask you. some time ago I was asking for advice/ideas to buy a netbook, and somebody mentioned that you'd bought one and you were very happy with it. I would like to hear your experience on that
It's really nice over here and the live show is finished
Meanwhile, back in the daily...
for bibendum: http://www.qik.com/video/2556505
We [hearts] Bibendum
Thanks Bassano, et al. Making a bit more sense now.. You need a sidepodcast'apedia for al lthe terms.
Thats where the wiki comes in handy :)
There is one
The sidepod Wiki
http://wiki.sidepodcast.com/
Ehm, I bought an akoya 1210 (so not a real netbook) mostly because it was the cheapest one available and my family frowns upon buying electronics from anywhere that isn't a discounter :). I'm quite happy with it. The battery lasts about 3-4 hours depending what you run on it (windows needs less than unr - grrr) and the keyboard is big enough to type properly. The loudspeakers are terrible but then you don't need those really. I'm not good with reviews but I might be able to answer questions ...
oooh there is a new commers guide, i shasll find it
I bloomin knew there would be !
I’m guessing it was frowned upon, but I never heard anything official {Comment #839}
His team didn't like it because of the engine damage, but the FIA turned a blind eye, perhaps because they figured out that penalising a local bloke who'd finished 16th was doing to do them more harm than good (however inconsistent such an action was).
They should do the decent thing and send Kimi a refund for Spa 2007...
Have you read this page?
http://www.sidepodcast.com/about/new-to-sidepodcast-quick-start-guide/
Am not sure we've had a new person come along since I wrote it, so it'd be good to know if it's useful or not :)
We seriously have all bases covered :D
aahh shes quick :D
Awesome place, world class, thoroughly recommended by RG.
For example: Who's on first
Also, this page will help explain the difference between LCLT and Doohickey
http://wiki.sidepodcast.com/page/Live+Commenting+Solutions
I am now.. :-) fanx :-)
here we go again!
Well, Christine DID write it :)
hehehe i knows :D
nick, i've been out of the loop. how's the phone?
that's fine for now. I'll ask you later if I come across that or a similar model, thanks!
Christ on a bike ! There's loads, do you two ever sleep ? What about eating drinking and other such important things ?
but your user manual is good, thanks !
Which phone is it?
Also I want to know how Lukeh is getting on with his Nokia 5800. I am considering an upgrade.
Love it so far.
The qik thing i filmed at Waterloo didn't work so i will have another go at one of those.
Doohicky has been tempremental. For a long time i had to manualy refresh, but then it seemed to update if i opened a reply box and closed it, and then it started working normaly.
Didn't Nick get an HTC something using Android
It's very, very slick. Already accustomed to everything compared to how crappy my old phone was. I said to a friend it's been like going from a morris miner to a Murcielago. Its been a bit of a pain finding a good twitter app but apart from that it's done everything I want and so much more, plus the deal I have with Vodafone is fantastic so all in all so far, thumbs up!
The HERO! akaka G2
Its great, i love it, best phone i have ever used
Alianora, I commented on your blog but I forgot to enter a name, so that ‘Guest’ was me… {Comment #870}
Firstly, thank you for commenting :)
That's quite understandable. The "Username" bit does do some strange stuff at times. Steven is right - the convention that's developed is to comment beneath the "guest" entry to say that it was you who wrote it (unless the comment content makes that clear already).
Smartphones + SPC rule
good to know, cheers.
your qik is probably offline. make it online and it'll upload (assuming it was recording).
Excellent :-)
It is available on Orange and so is something called an HTC Touch 3G
Eat - yes.
Drink - too much.
Sleep - not as much as we'd like.
:)
Have you tried mobile doohickey?
Not always my fault ;)
If thats the Hero its incredible, full on app store like the iphone, GPS, multi touch screen... other than full on skype i dont think there is anything else i could possibly need!
Needs to be manually refreshed. Designed for older smartphones I think
I had that on my old phone. It doesnt update, so i think that would probably be worse
Looks like it is something different
But I've found the Hero on their website too. Need to find out costs.
oh and it was the 80GB version for €265.95 with second battery and postage (
*looks at photo of Bassanos fridge on drop.io*
Well that just makes me fridge look pathetic! :(
That is quite a lot of drinkness.
Aitch's fridge
oops... I must remember to read comments properly.
You have to get one.
My reputation deceives you Sir ;)
Ah is Basano actually Mr C ?
The website won't let me login. Says I need a four-digit code which I can only get by ringing a helpline. Major fail.
It just has three options... private on/off , Share and title?
If i press the green button shouldn't it start to stream?
No, but I got Mr C a bit drunk at the Science Museum meet-up and am known to be 'a bad influence who will get you drunk' :)
Which is a fair assessment
christine has a "menu" option which includes:
- settings
- online/offline
yup. a square appears inside the circle.
Let's be factual here. Mr C managed to get himself drunk. You then persuaded him to do shots.
There is an updated photo, I won't link to because... well I'm just happy I can do this
On our anniversary.
Haha ! Oh, you had a meet up at he best museum e.v.e.r ? That sounds like much fun :-)
I did that last night but it doesn’t seem to have appeared, I think I closed the window too soon. {Comment #873}
If you've hit "Submit" and the screen has gone white, the comment will have been submitted. There's no mod queue or automated spam bin, so it should appear immediately. According to my computer both your comments appeared within a minute of each other, and I can see both comments.
I'll investigate the problem, but consider me baffled.
You cant persuade someone to shots... Its the same as not being able to stop someone doing shots! :P
shots hadn't started when I left and he was definitely drunk when I said goodbye to him!
Err, fair point
ooh, do we guess which ones you've drunk since the last one?
Was supposed to be an F1 exhibition that was woefully inadequate. We went to the park for some live streaming chat and then the pub
I sense some slight resentment here....
ah checked that, i have settings or 'go offline' so i guess that means it must be good?
I will try another test tomorrow or tuesday
Ahh okay, that's odd.
The live streaming chat was far more impressive than the F1 exhibit.
Agreed. More fun too!
Well well well…

Promotional Purposes, thats genius. {Comment #901}
Double genius. Not only does it get round the testing rule, but marketing staff aren't covered by the two-week beak rule.
There will be so much steam coming out of FOTA team principals' ears that they could probably power their windtunnels for a week with it...
He was a mess for quite some days afterwards. Got Man Flu which he blamed on me
It did have an awesome security guard though.
But did he know it was your anniversary?
yup that's good.
you should test from your house. you can delete straight away.
i always hug on a first meet ;)
Scary security guard is scary...
I believe we established that a week before, in the comments.
I think the two week break is over. they had to take it at some point in the last 3 weeks, as next week is a 'race week'
It was like that advert where the bear hug follows you around
I don't think so
Something to look forward to then...
Let me get this straight. Ferrari are going to promote themselves at their own test track where they can measure everything possible? {Comment #902}
Yes. Presumably this is in an effort to promote the team to the gaggle of locals who peer through (or over) the fence every time Ferrari tests in the locality - I can't imagine many other people around to see the fruits of this particular marketing effort.
I may not have seen that, in my defence ;)
He should have done, we all signed an anniversary card before they arrived!
I know the one you mean - tech that comes from F1 ? Had a mclaren hanging from the ceiling ?
What you know before you go to the pub is very different from what you know 'at' the pub ;)
I need a late snack and my cupboard is empty of the crisps/chocolate options, no bread for a sandwich, no easy-access snackfoods available... this means noodles or soup.
Oh yes
Then my excuse is that I was drunk as well
Yep. the one with a pair of wellys, a table and some fishing wire...
That's the one
we have pasta, mmmmm..
Wise words my friend, you will go far
I missed that
Both, Ramen, soup noodles, ala wagamama :-)
And a pod that ron dennis sat in!
Haha :-)
That was some table though
Well of course, who wouldn't be with Man Flu !
I think the two week break is over. they had to take it at some point in the last 3 weeks, as next week is a ‘race week’
It's only over for those teams who started their break the day after Hungary. Most teams finish next week. {Comment #1025}
As it turns out, you are correct for the purposes of this news item, for Ferrari say they restart work tomorrow. Still, it's a useful trick for them to keep in their arsenal for next year...
pasta is also an option...
That would great, that way I will know what I've been drinking ooh that reminds me of a line from a Powder Blues Band tune 'What have I been drinking the label on the bottle doesn't show, the bartender says it's Whisky but I know that isn't so'
at least one of the green bottles, and a Speckled Hen..
Quicker than the 9 other teams. {Comment #907}
How many of them needed to test that way, though? Bear in mind that the promotional tyres are designed so that no useful feedback can be sought for developmental purposes, so it would only be useful if you had a driver that needed to acclimatise. So all we can say for sure is that Ferrari twigged on before Toro Rosso.
haha, i have just started watching the 7 hour giggle epic! :D
I can confirm to Alex i have now seen the owl. :D
Although i am disappointed it wasn't referred to as 'the legendary owl' :P
I'm wondering about my talk plan if I'm upgrading my phone. I can get 500MB anytime mobile internet browsing if I go up to the next one. I also get 900 minutes talktime. 900!! I got my bill yesterday for July. In July I used 46 seconds.
I'm a texter
:D
Hahaha.
You'll need free data
If you are getting a smartphone, i would recommend an unlimited data package.
Wow :D
This is exactly why I had to get off Pay as you Go. I was paying for stuff that was just costing too much when I could've got unlimited texts on contract for miles cheaper. Plus I barely, barely, barely call asides from the odd vicemail and 1 or 2 other people rarely so they adjusted my plan to my needs focusing more on internet and text than minutes. Might be worth looking and see if Orange do something similar with adjusting their tarriffs.
I'm thinking about going on t-mobile solo. £20 for 600 mins, unltd texts and a gig of mob tinterweb.
Amen to that. Last year I paid £82 in data charges in a single month. *gulp*
It has unlimited texts which is good.
I can't find unlimited data on here
PAYG works great for me, i just don't spend enough to go on contract....
£10 a month gives me 300 free texts plus £5 of that £10 is for 1000 units, (1 unit = 1 text or 1 minute of call) to O2 numbers, and as the only person i phone is on O2 it works great. and then i have the £5 left for if i want to phone a non-o2 person :D
I would go on PAYG but I pay £35 a month to Orange and get so many benefits with it that it is not worth going PAYG. As well as the normal package I get free calls to 01 and 02 numbers betweeh 7 am and 7pm. I also get free unlimited broadband at home and free calls to 100 countries 24/7. I really should make a lot more use of that.
Interesting point. I'm going to have to see what I can budget for, and have a play with the phones in the shop.
You don't fancy an iPhone?
No way can I afford that, also I don't want the hassle of a network change
No green bottles but bottles with green labels, had to check, Speckled Hen on the go right now. And now for something completely different, I will let the crowd pick the next beer off this list:
Anarchist Amber Ale
Brooklyn Lager
Boddingtons Pub Ale
Fuller's London Pride
Granville Island Belgian Wit
Kettle Valley Amber Ale
Race Rocks Amber Ale
Fair enogh
Sounds great
Fullers London Pride !
Ah yeah, that's what I meant.
Kettle Valley
Hey guys....
How much faith should I put in anyhting from the BBC's F1 mole?
Just wondering.
From Giggles Made-Up Media: The U.S. Grand Prix is proposed to have a new track in Central Park, in the middle of New York City, provided that room could be found for the displaced baby Panda Bear, as the Panda Bear exhibit at the Central Park Zoo would have to be destroyed to make way for a heliport for the use of senior FIA personnel....
I went for the noodles btw.
Cool, flavour?
Chicken flavour Super Noodles.
There was a curry flavour in the cupboard from an unknown eastern brand... i think that's a friday/saturday option
I have some of those in the cupboard. A good back-up
Yep. Has been sat there for many months. Tempting me.
Am beginning to think mobile phone operators don't get it.
All their pricing options mention downloads, but not uploads..
They haven't been to SPC then :)
Clearly not!
They are making the same mistakes ISPs did in the mid/late 90s. Trying to make everyone go via their portal instead of letting us go wherever we want, when we want
What about watching window blinds go up :)
No no no no no get yourself to a good oriental supermarket and get some proper noodles ! You won't look back.
Bah, anyway enough of that. I need to work out what I can afford before I go and ask what they are charging, else I'll end up with something I can't pay for
Damn these phone companies! They will not force us! They will stop degrading us! They will not control us!
I'm not sure where that comes from. Just rolls out of my mind. Funny that. ;)
um... ok.. if i can find one..
You Sir, are kind of obsessed ;)
hehehe :-)
I'm sure Orange World is all fine and lovely and useful for some things. It would be nice if their website would make note that we would like to use the device for other stuff.
I remember that, it was awful
A proper smartphone will cure your ills
I always love watching other people work, painting is quite boring, well for me anyways, so if I get a chance to watch someone else work it's all good. Especially if non of my bosses are around:D
This weekend I've developed one of my occasional cravings for a new bit of tech. It has been satisfied for a long while with the Wii (I'm easilly pleased). Need more now. Have had my phone for 2 years, at least.
Granted, easier said than done anywhere half mile outside of chinatown, London. !
Well you should check out Giggles' live streaming from earlier then. There's plaenty of it
http://www.sidepodcast.com/playground/livestreaming.php
I'm not in central London
I know of 2 within 15mins
Time for sleepies I think. Has been a very fun day today. :)
G'night to all!
I tuned in just as you you showed up
I'm in rural Dorset!
There are plenty of Polish shops in Yeovil, not sure about oriental though.
Night Mr Lukeh!
That's not so bad then. Try em, the soup mix you get with them is usually quite good.
Night Lukeh
It still all very surreal
I'm checking out what I missed ;)
Night
G'night Lukeh
Make sure you follow the comments at the same speed as the video
Plenty of those here too
The show replay is up for anyone who wants it :D
night lukeh
Good idea
I think Tesco does some oriental noodle packs. I jazz em up with prawns and chicken and suchlike. Yum :-)
As opposed to Urban Dorset :P
Ah that's a good shout. I will have a look next time I'm near one.
Amoy Singapore Noodles are nice
Night Lukeh
Oh good. I missed most of it.
I think it's fair to say i hate my own voice :(
Can anyone get alex's video to play beyond 1min 30s?
http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/1994206
Everyone does. And everyone is wrong :)
heh :-)
mwaha, also, i talk slower-ish cus i was trying to get into my tent hehe
My voice can't sound that geordie in real life?
Yours is fine. Mine is weak and shaky.
Apart from me ;)
Your own voice sounds different to you cos you're hearing it from inside your head. It's slightly distorted
ahaha, you can hear my tent!!
Zzzzzziiiiiiiip
It's awesome! I'll edit out some of the pauses, but the zips are my favourite bit :)
His head is distorted? That;s not nice
ahaha, you guys were right, my voice gets quieter and quieter, man i sound sooo tired
:lol:
Am watching the early stages of the Blind Installation, before I volunteered
Giggles is saying "This is really surreal..."
He had NO idea
:D
am going to watch it all again tomorrow. classic, classic stuff. have you got to the boogy yet?
alex = dancer.
Not yet, have just sync'd the comments with video. Alex hasn't started to drill yet
ahh. i won't ruin the ending...
:D
Who said this morning 'no picture, it didn't happen'? Here is the proof: Saturday ski
That would be Gavin
That's PROPER outside!
nice :-)
I guess I'm an strange SPC fan, I like that kind of outside :-)
Vive le Roi, les Roi est mort
