Hmmmmm...
Hello there once more, Sidepodfans. We find ourselves approaching another weekend and an action packed Friday is looming but there's so much to look forward to today! I mean, first off, it's a Formula 1 weekend over at Valencia so keep an eye out for the Free Practise session and much more relevant information in the Race Info thread as always. As well as that we'll have another fabulous Wimbledon post from resident tennis expert Lou to take us through Day 5! Woohoo! You could always head over to my blog too and see What If the silly season rumours were true?! Much better than that though, there's the challenge that is the Viva F1 European GP quiz too, if you fancy the challenge as the Viva F1 quizzes are always worth a go and Jackie always does a top job with them. And finally, IT'S FRIDAY! So let's have an awesome day, no matter how... manic... it may be...
Paddock News
Faster...for Fernando - Ol' Anando is a bit concerned about 2011 as he reckons it's been a pretty poor year so far for the prancing horses of Italy. He says that a team like Ferrari need to be winning every race. He must be confusing them with Red Bull. He should actually be wondering why his team keep supplying their number one driver with such massive caps.
All He Makes is Entertainment - It seems Lewis has come out and said he'll be on full attack this weekend. I suppose that means better rear wings and chassis protection for everyone else then. In all seriousness, Lewis has no reason to change his style of driving but he really needs to stop being as reckless as he has been recently. We all know the man can drive but where's the smooth Lewis of previous years? I do like how Eddie Irvine says Lewis has lost the plot. Eddie Irvine.
Indian Summer - Introducing the world's longest headling as courtesy of AUTOSPORT, Adrian Sutil's future once again has been talked about with regards to whether he'll be in Force India much longer. How many more chances will he get before he's swiftly booted out for Nico Hulkenburg? Can't be long now. Perhaps Adrian is keeping his job by keeping Vijay entertained with his mad running skills.
Elsewhere...
Motorcycle Numptiness - I just had to include this. It's probably been shared but it should be shared a million times as it's just astounding stuff. There was a motorcycle crash as you can see and these poor drivers were just wanting to jump back on and well.... their bikes had other ideas. And it made for an excellent pun if I may say so myself.
The Future Has Been Here 4 Ever - One again Codemasters have got themselves all ready to build up to the release of F1 2011 in September and we are lucky enough to have the first dev diary from the development team to watch and a bit of Anthony Davidson to enjoy too. The game looks fantastic already, much less... yellowy... than last year graphically and I already love the out of car stuff in the garage celebrating. Plus, SPLIT SCREEN MULTIPLAYER!!
You Stole the Rings from Our Heart - I wonder how many rings that damn Sonic has stolen over the years. But you may be happy to know our favourite blue Hedgehog that SEGA so lovely introduced to us is now 20 years old which kind of scares me a little bit but also amazes me at the same time. Shame the blue legend has had a rough few years in terms of pretty terrible games but we can still celebrate the classics on the SEGA Megadrive/Genesis. Oh, and his name is Robotnik. It will always be Robotnik. Stoopid 'Eggman'.
Itty Bitty Links
So much to share with you today... I'll try not to overwhelm you with what I have to offer!
- Worth starting on an F1 related note, as it seems we'll be getting a fancy little segment on the BBCF1 this weekend with McLaren and the presenting team doing a pit stop. I suppose they already have good experience of loud cars and pitlanes...
- Next up - fancy a fun, addictive, darned sweet game to play on your iOS device this weekend? Why not give the brand spanking new Tiny Towers a go where you have to keep building business up to build up your tower block. It's free and it's absurdly addictive. And it's free. Did I mention it's free?
- You do know I like to throw in a little musical number to my daily posts so why not give a quick listen to what I can't stop humming right now? It's To Build a Home by the Cinematic Orchestra and it's just absolutely stunning. Do enjoy.
- Whilst I'm talking music, does anyone else not hear the Thomas the Tank Engine themein the new Bombay Bicycle Club song? I think I quite like it but I can't help but hear the Thomas theme. Every. Single. Time.
- And finally, what better way to finish than with the combination of cake and Doctor Who? Awesomeness.
That's me sorted. It's Friday so that means the weekend is nearly here and I cannot wait. Remember to head over to the Wimbledon thread and join in if you're watching the tennis and the same goes for the Free Practise sessions too, we do love a good chat in the comments. To end I'll share with you a trailer to a film that looks AWESOME. See you soon chaps.
hello new daily :)
today is going to be awesome. F1, Tennis and Glasto! yaaayy! :)
Also.. the new bombay bicycle club song is awesome.. as is thomas the tank engine so either way win win! :)
omg i love lukeh!

Love Alonso as Mario but I don't see him as the Princess-saving type. Wonder who'd play Luigi. Someone in green? Heikki or Jarno? :)
Also: 'Motorcycle Numptiness' is a pure genius name
*boom*
Love the daily.
I have never seen bikes interlock like that with the throttles jammed open. I love that the rider thought he was somehow going to jump in and sort it out.
not sure if anyone's following the saga of apple's new 'final cut' software. we use it to make sidepodcast videos and i've been waiting between 18 months and two years for an update because it the old version was falling woefully behind the competition.
finally they released it. and it's a bit... crap.
as of right now, none of our old projects can be opened. that's more than 40 podcasts that are effectively dead on the disk, and it gets worse. in the US store alone there are 386 one star reviews (five being good, one being awful) and 33 pages worth of comments, most of them negative.
someone today described this as apple's "vista" moment and they're not far wrong. it's not a product that affects many people, but it's by far the worst release i've ever witnessed from apple.
i'm now downloading adobe premiere.
I had no idea Apple was capable of such a screw up. That level of incompetence is unbelievable. I imagine Steve Jobs is banging heads together now.
Just did a quick news search on final cut and surprise surprise Pogue says it is great
http://pogue.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/06/23/professional-video-editors-weigh-in-on-final-cut-pro-x/
he said before it was released that it would be "awesome".
here's a snapshot of public perception: http://sidepodcast.posterous.com/how-the-paying-public-have-received-final-cut
that article is too technical for pogue. someone's fed him a bunch of lines there :(
Never seen such a black and white response. Either 5 or 1 and little in the middle.
You only need to reed some of the comments on Pogue's own post to see that a lot of people are very unhappy and unable to use the new version
He put a disclaimer in at the start then ignored itall the way through
56 minutes until Olympics sale, eeek!
The site crashed last night when the US had theirs :)
How will it cope with you then?
I am hoping having 10% of the population will help. Doubt it though.
a bigger concern is we use logic pro for all our audio work. that equals hundreds of podcasts. i dread to think what carnage they could cause once they turn their attention to making audio applications "awesome".
How does that affect existing podcasts?
i think relying on apple to create professional applications might be considered a risky strategy, so at some point we out consider a plan-b. this week though, i'll be making the best of what they've given us.
The good thing is you are only making one podcast a week. I imagine anyone making serious professional video will be most put out.
I still find it hard to believe Apple did this so badly. It is most unlike them to have their fans so upset at them
talking of which, alex lindsay is about to go live on the subject: http://www.pixelcorps.com/live/
i really need to sleep though.
I am not planning on being around much longer but I will watch the start of it
big production houses already talking about switching to avid. it's only been out for 24hrs. that's a heck of a response.
It's almost like Apple need two different products and instead they have decided to annoy a lot of their existing users to do some kind of land grab for new users
agreed. i just don't know how many casual users, making home movies of their kids will pay £270 so they can edit them a bit better. whereas all the pro's were happy to pay £700 for something that worked.
That was what I found odd about Pogue's column. He used a pro package so edit his kid's video. What does that prove?
that he's is apple's target audience. or that he has more money than sense :)
Apple's mouthpiece and he got it free
Time I was in bed
Good night
i must do the same. laters.
i can't feel my limbs. Not good with stress :)
Is there a good time to not "feel your limbs"?
no tennis left but did still manage to spend over a grand. I think I got mens 100m final tickets. I think.
I did. Oh my god. The most oversubscribed event had tickets left! weeeeeeee!
OMG. So what tickets do you have?
as well as that amazing athletics one today i also bought rowing (which should hopefully be full of kiwis, i need at least one patriotic event!) handball, volleyball and hockey. I wanted mens basketball too but they all clashed with other stuff. I was tempted by the closing ceremony too but it was too dear. I'd pay a lot for opening but not closing.
Indeed. I never really watched closing, myself. :) You also got tennis tickets in the lottery, right?
yep got tennis and swimming. Really wanted the other tennis final and would have paid the maximum for them, wish i could go back in time and change my ballot application! There will be more tickets released throughout the next year too so you never know what might come up.
So, as much as I'd like to join you all at 2am my time to watch P1 live and generally hang out...I can't...BECAUSE I GOT A JOB INTERVIEW!!! (at 9AM my time).
I know it shouldn't be a huge deal, but I got laid off 1 year, 1 month and 23 days ago, and the interviews haven't been very numerous.
I will however make every attempt to join SPC for FP3 and quaily...and the race.
And, WOW Amy, you really love your sports eh? I'd much rather spend that kind of dosh on an F1 trip-stavaganza to someplace exotic myself, but I suppose we've all got our absurdly expensive dreams haven't we?
I have spent that kind of dosh on an F1 trip-stravaganza many times, 2012 will be the first year since 09 that I won't be :) Pretty much all of my savings go on sports. I've dreamed of going to the Olympics years before I ever dreamed of going to an F1 race :)
good luck in your interview :)
Just in case anyone was wondering, I might be working at the local Harley Davidson dealership. I'm not exactly a huge loud shiney motorcycle guy, but I'll take whatever I can get. Nice people, and I'm not nearly as freaky as most of the ppl wh owrk there already - I got no tatts and no piercings. I'll be the odd one out, for once the most normal one tho
Amy, follow your folley. Mine is beer, F1, and science fiction, in that order
Maybe someday I'll be able to make the trip around Europe I've dreamed about, ever since I realized most of my fellow Americans were...uhh....ummm....just a little short on sophistication (basically the first time I ever saw a NASCAR race).
Proper beer does not come in a bright red aluminum can, and is not made from rice, IMHO.
Now to watch some Spaced, and dream Simon Pegg odd dreams.
Can't wait to see what happens with the new engine mapping rules in effect.
Any RBR speculation? I can't be the only one hoping they're utterly useless this weekend, right? LH needs a little help to get back on his game.
night all
I just bought table tennis and badminton as well. I've become a ticket junkie.
reading the latest comments I am beginning to understand why the Olympics still happen :-)
twitter is telling me the same thing, UK website has crashed under the demand again. At 6am!

Wow, the PDF I'm looking at says 100m is sold out..
Should've got up earlier, hadn't realised the sale was today :(
Will have to see what's left at work lunchtime or tonight, got to go now
Goood morning everyone :)
Yesterday the Catalan people celebrated a traditional holiday named 'Sant Juan'.
We celebrate the shortest night of the year, and people of all ages brings their fireworks to make it a little bit longer.
It's, in my opinion, the best celebration of the year. I'll show you some photos later :)
it was in the British allocation
we did that too. We burnt a witch on a bonfire and had a picnic :)

Just booked my Eurostar tickets for Spa. Should have done it last week, the price has gone up a bit since
:/
That's how it works. The earlier you book, the cheaper it is.
I know, but I meant to book it last week and forgot
Anyhoo, here's something I wrote last night:
"More Troubles for Superleague Formula and Auto GP"
http://theformulaoneandmotorsportsarchive.wordpress.com/2011/06/24/more-troubles-for-superleague-formula-and-auto-gp/
Okay, two weeks ago I was here complaining about how apparently someone in Seoul had got hold of my debit card number, and there were over $500 worth of charges against my account. I went down to my bank, filled out the paperwork, cancelled my card, and filed for reimbursement of the bad charges.
The bank was great, took care of everything for me and credited my account for all the bad charges within days of filing the paperwork.
Yesterday, the credited me again for the bad charges. The bank gave me too much money. Now, just to keep things in balance in the world, I need to go down to the bank and make them aware of this.
Somehow I doubt they'll let me keep the money for my honesty. :)
Well, you never know.....
;)
I'd be more than willing to rack up $500 worth of charges for you to save you the time :D
The thing is, that I've worked retail and jobs like this long enough to know that stuff like this is accounted for, and if I don't make it right, it'll be coming out of someone's paycheck or be a disciplinary write-up at least, when it comes out in the accounting.
Ohh, I don't think I need the help. (iPad 2 anyone?) But thanks for the offer.
ah but see if you do it, thats bad, if I do it, I'm a legitimite overseas card details stealer :D
you know, now that you mention it, a setup like that probably would work pretty well.

You know, its funny how once I started visiting SPC again, the job offers have started to roll in. Well, okay, just interviews, but lately, that's good enough.
I've got an interview in less than an hour, and recieved not one but TWO phone calls just this morning. I am simply elated. Sidepodcast: my lucky employment thingy
I'll be back for FP3 tomorrow. Hopefully, newly employed. Gotta run!
Gratz! SPC is good for the soul and job offers.
Wow - I just got a new PC at work. This the widest screen I've ever had - my head can't takes it!!
You know though, Once you start to have paychecks rolling in again, you're going to have to hit that "donate" button.
i like that.

apple have started giving refunds to miffed final cut users: http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/335/5131
refunds were delayed due to the high volume of requests! even with the iphone4 problems, they didn't do refunds, they just send out a free bumper and said deal with it.
ooh, another fail appears to be, because there is no box and no serial number, when they give you a refund you appear to simply keep the software for free.
That is so un-Apple.
there must be a lot of people out there who spell microsoft with a dollar sign hiding under their beds pretending this isn't happening because Apple are perfect and never get anything wrong and everything they make is the best product ever.
I've always been bothered by that sort of product partisanship. To me it's simply a matter of a tool, and which one works best for whatever purpose you're using it for. Defending a company that makes a tool that you favor always seemed a little weird to me.
Indeed, and even if you do have a preference it doesn't mean you need to automatically slag off every thing the other company does, you never know, they may have actually made something good :)
They have been a bit sloppy lately.
Hello folks.
Oh, that Muppets trailer is WONDERFUL!
Which reminded me of this video from The Muppets Show:

I've never understood company-worship. They produce products, nothing else.
Greetings and salutations.
I like my PC, I like my Nokia, I like my iPad, they all do what I want and that makes me :)
This attitude is precisely why I love the community here. Sane and solid reasons for what they think.
Exactly
Sane? Us..?
;)
Good morning from my part of the world. :) How goes it?
Hi Journeyer
Not bad here. Off to bed soon myself, but that's just my weird schedule. (15 minutes after noon here) Had a productive morning of designing a graphic for a friend.
Looks like you follow my clock then. :D
Anything interesting from practice? Is the green building still there?
Gahhhhh - I am a moron. I just managed to delete a good chunk of mp3's from my hard drive
#MoreThanAFacepalm
Yah, I once figured out that my body clock is set to something like Central Russia, or possibly India. :)
Can you "undelete"? Possible if you haven't wiped the area yet.
Just realised I emptied the recycle bin too. This may mean some time ripping CD's...
Ouchie! My sympathies.
This sort of catastrophe actually crossed my mind the other day when I downloaded some digital media and they offered me a free trial of their "cloud".
I keep pretty good track of my stuff by I am seriously considering using some sort of cloud storage. I use DropBox now, and like it, but only have the smallest setup.
Aye - my fault though. I just got a new PC in work and was trying to install stuff and got my thumbs mixed up (in a way)
You can always get some file-restoring program to minimize the damage. If you haven't created any new files or transferred anything onto your OS since then, you should be able to salvage most of it.
I'm not sure as well if MP3s are covered by System Restore (I think they are).
All that is double dutch to me and to be honest I'm not likely to try it with IT over my shoulder
;)
Hello! I'm free from work for a whole week!
(and two weekends)
Awesome. Anything exciting planned or just lots of lovely nothing?
Oh. Fair enough then. :D
I'm doing entirely nothing on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday during the days. Tuesday night I'm seeing Ardal O'Hanlon who is playing our town. Thursday is golf. Friday and Saturday next week is Goodwood.
May well go and see Senna at some point.
But here's the Catch 22 of the situation: can you you browse to, and download a recovery tool, without saving to the drive and potentially corrupting what you want to recover with the cahe of the browser or the file download? :)
Sounds like an excellent week.
Ah, very good point! :D I did say most of it, not all of it. :D
I love that! One of my favorite vacations of all time was the week I just spent at home.
One day I woke up and discovered I had overslept and almost missed my nap! :)
:)

Good article on how Sutton first got the photography bug - and I didn't know they visited Austin after Canada...
That's the plan. :)
Hoping to laze around, see some TV shows in my watch-queue, do a bit of blogging. Generally a brain rest.
:D
Enjoy a little something from the sidepodcast.com back catalogue.

I love the trend for really simple sites that tell you one fact. Great if you just need to know whether it is Thursday or not etc. The next time someone asks you how many people are in space just now you won't have to worry about whether the 3 that the ISS left last week have been replaced or whether you missed the Chinese launching someone. All you need to do is ask how many people are in space right now?

Columbo's dead. I bet he pops back for one last question and that is when the other guy will drop himself right in it
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/tvs-columbo-peter-falk-dead-83-171125711.html
Though this is definitely worse. Lasagne sandwich
Tesco are weird sandwich specialists, with this bizarre offering released last year. Diced beef, tomato sauce, layers of pasta, and a ricotta and mayonnaise dressing were dumped between two slices of white bread. Tesco’s sandwich developer reckoned this “could become the food of choice for anyone wanting a solid snack between meals”.
Saw that earlier. This will always be my favourite Columbo / Peter Falk moment. Just brilliant.

Giving Hulkenburg the evil stare?
He won't see it because he sat on the pit wall with his nose half an inch from the screen for the whole session.
It's always worth a try, he'll feel it anyway.

So 100 years of the Great Juan Manual. What a legend :)
Nope. Had no reason to watch FP2 before, but I do now.

Bolting surely
Shame their race on ABC last week had such a pitiful attendance. Only a crowd of 15,000 at Milwaukee
:o
Sadly Simona de Silvestro is not cleared to drive this weekend and I'm shocked she was allowed to drive last week.
She is still suffering from the effects of concussion.
How did she get cleared last week if she has concussion still this week?
Exactly. A lot of eyebrows raised and criticism thrown since.
The tyres will be bolted on
At least, that's how I read it
I know exactly what has happened because it is the kind of thing I do all the time. Christine has got caught between saying they will be bolted on this week and the teams will be bolting on the tyres this week and ended up saying something in the middle which isn't grammatically correct. I keep finding things like that when I read back stuff what I have wrote
On board with El Maestro in 1957 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoimATBQXfA&feature=related
:)
Having re-read and I agree. "in the coming days" makes it bolting
It's easy to see why people could relate better to drivers then. You can see every input he makes in the car's behaviour
Yo yo :)
Up and down day was it?
Slinky?
[is this a convo about toys]
You're starting to sound like Jarno Trulli.
Nick has you on the end of a string
I wasn't complaining when I said it
He was a legend though. You could see so much.
This is not a fun game!
It's not the power steering Jarno, it's you. Yer Fired!
Extreme toe-out. Doesn't look right, doctored or distorted? http://yfrog.com/kga7bfj
The vertical dimension of the photo has been severely squished
Oh maaaaan. I can't believe the time. Why have I just got home from work :( :(
But that would make the wheels fatter not angled. It's odd
Should look a lot more like this
http://www.jmfangio.org/mercedesw196monoposto.jpg
Because you didn't travel home in a Time Machine?
I should have finished at 7 with a 20 min trip home. Somehow I've arrived home at 10 past 9. Booooo!!
They did run some positive camber but shrinking the vertical makes the angle greater.
I still think it was doctored by an amateur, not just shrunk
I agree. I think they have mutilated the photo rather than just changed one axis
Don't you remember what time you left?
Maybe you have narcolepsy and somnambulism
#BlameNico
He tweeted it
Yeah I left about half an hour ago. Too much work, too few hours in the day. Back in at 7am. It's like a recurring nightmare :P
One thing is certain. Rudi Uhlenhaut never designed anything that looked like that photo
Oh dear
No 11 hour rule then, I guess
Yeah I guess there is. I guess I've never really thought about it before because you're scheduled to have more than that.
Sometimes you just have to leave. Scheduling a mid or late before an early shift is bad planning
We only have 12 hours 7-7 to cover so early/mid/late are all fairly sociable in theory. It's just getting behind with stuff.... I'd rather stay and do it than get up at 4!!
Depends how long your rotation is but E,E,M,L,L Rest or something is the logical way to go
Well I've done 2 doubles in a row which is the full 12 so it doesn't really make much difference which way you do it.
Unless you stay on another 2hrs after that
Too true. I'm too conscientious for my own good I think. #musttoughenup
Always take the approach that work is an inconvenience to your day.
Not too far though or they might fire you
I suppose. I was working on another site today as a favour though so I feel like I can't leave someone else with a load of stuff hanging over from the week still to do.
:D
I get that, in principle. Though I do try to steer it into something that stimulates on occasion, whenever possible. Until I get to travel for a living and the calendar is my own
You're all a lot better than me. I'm soft. I'm really trying to save up atm so as well as feeling guilty about leaving the work unfinished, I can't help but think about the money.
If they're paying you by the hour on-site, then it's slightly better than just rostered hours. Either way, you're home now. So chill
Yeah I get paid overtime by the hour :) It's all pennies in the pocket.
i have lost control of the TV.. parents have coronation street on.. still 10 hours isn't bad. will catch up with glasto later.
Shocking behaviour. Doesn't ITV have a time-shift internet facility they can use after the weekend?
Christine & Mr C, for info: I haz emailed
Right. Bed bed bed. Night night party peoples.
Cool. When do you want it to go up?
Jimmy Cliff just did a nice cover of Many Rivers To Cross
probably but we have a less than 1mb connection which both BT and Orange refuse to make any faster. :/ so any type of video streaming online doesn't happen anymore. back to the use of sky + for us then!
Tonight, tomorrow after Qualy. Whenever's convenient
Was thinking of getting more eyes on it over the racing weekend. Your call
Sky+ it is then, Glastonbury won't be back for two years :D
Cool. Will get it up tomorrow.

How do you quote a link in Dashboard without opening the URL?
Ahh, bless. Yay for Kat

Holly replied to me on twitter! #bff :)
Takuma Sato is on pole for tomorrow night's IndyCar race!
Danica Patrick 2nd, Tony Kanaan 3rd, JR Hildebrand 4th. Wow.
How?
I bet he crashes on the first lap
Sebastien Vettel has begun celebrating weighing himself.

Two posts on my blog today after months of nothing... it should feel blessed :)
I will read them later
i'm more impressed about the amount i'm writing at the moment (including tennis and normal daily posts) :) not fussed when people read them :) i apologise for any spelling mistakes though. Am a little tired today.
I'm at the point I want to explode and tell everyone what I'm up to, but until all the ducks are in a row, I don't want to spoil it.
Night folks, see you for FP3 & Qualy
night Bassano
