Huhu! Welcome to my first daily of the new F1 season. As you all have noticed by now Sebastian Vettel won the first race ...*yaaaaaaaawn* ... and you also know what else happened from here, here , here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here (copying Thomas Morgenstern ... phi!), here and of course here.
For a non-Vettel fan living in Germany has become really hard. Vettel not only is all over the media, but he is everywhere! Not only in Heppenheim, but genuinely everywhere! *screaming* Today I bumped into him at my chemist, laughing at me with this %§$%$/)=(/( smile I do not like at all. But it got even worse! I found him in my shower too! I assume my flat mates clearly want to make me suffer. Why? Why like this? As if this in 156563483 copies all over the city hasn't been enough???!!! *sigh*
Though if you take a closer look, Seb can't even match - in whatsoever and whatever whenever he might do - with this drop-dead chap. I mean, Seb can only dream of eyebrows like THIS!! ;-)
Errrmmm ... so where there some good news? Ah yes, 38% of German inhabitants say Schumi should retire Only 38%? I'm sure it's propaganda. I'm sure they switched the numbers or something. It should have been 83%, I bet!
While everyone is praising Vitaly Pettrov for his Sunday's performance, let us not forget Paul di Resta who made a super debut, and despite finishing behind his team mate ... what's his name again? .............. ehm ... oh, yes, this Sutil guy ... Paul finished the race and scored his first F1 point.
I feel sorry for the Sauber lads, though. What a fantastic race they've both had! Here you can find a very fine explanation (in Dutch) what was wrong with the Sauber wings and why they got disqualified.
While I am writing this very words Lukeh posted this video on facebook. It's "not available in my area" but I'm sure it is worth watching ( so Lukeh says and he must know, because in his area this video is very much available) so have a look!
There's also something to listen for you all out there produced by our lovely Christine and Mr.C who were very prolific in the recent days to provide all the news not only from the Australian F1 action, but also from some domestic (for them of course), and lovely British rowing action from London. I haven't been able to listen to it yet, however I'm going to fulfill my duty of a good sidepodcaster tomorrow at the gym. You should try the sidepodwork-out yourself. A whale of a time! :-)
Keep an eye on this site 'cause a new and shiny edition of Christine's Rankings is going to turn up here soon, I am sure about that.
There's been also this football thing called the Euro Qualifiers going on recently. Wales played England in Cardiff and lost 0:2. England can survive without the talents of Wayne Rooney, but let's not forget that this England played against very poor (let's be honest) Wales. Prior to that match there was a huge captaincy discussion and John Therry was the man to lead the Tree Lions out on the pitch eventually. After the match Fabio revealed he must look for another captain for the friendly against Ghana on Tuesday. Again. Who could it be? Who should it be? Who has to become the new man waring a piece of cloth on his arm? The speculations arose. Again. And then the BIG news came: Gareth Barry named England Captain for the Ghana friendly. The best option Fabio had, if you ask me. Anyway, you can hear all about this, and much more, in the always excellent Football Weekly podcast.
Oh, and Blackburn want to sign Ruud van Nistelrooy. Frankly, as much I love and respect Ruud, I do not think he'll be able to cope with the English football as he used to. It's not the age - it's Ruud (!), so age isn't an issue - but it's more the injuries he had.
Scenes and more scenes at the Cricket World Cup! There's this captain issue thing going on to ... what's going on with the captains, people? And finally: huge excitement (and more scenes) before the mother of all matches (so they say) and I have also learned a new word: "futile" (Ger.: "nutzlos"; Esp.: "inutil").
And to wrap it all up: it's time for some tennis. :-)
live blogging is hard:

very hard. autosport need your donations too :)
Lovely daily, loving the Vettel rant :) hehe
i must now sleep.. back to the world of uni tomorrow. night all! xx
Always love Amanda's link filled links. Van Nistelrooy rumour is bizarre!
Night lou.
Oooh not sure I can get behind the hatred of the fluffy one :P
Why is this weirdo bothering Nick? http://twitter.com/mohadel75/status/52438386358763520 Twitter is strange.
I can't hate his grin, it's lovely to see a driver so smiley :)
@riadasmat
Spot @H_Kovalainen roaming in KL today and 1st one that gets a picture of him gets a team cap from me.. He's out now
Permission to stalk Heikki!
But you're not in KL...
yes I know, but it gives all the crazy Malaysians permission to :D
THE PHOTO IS UP, GO GO GO!
LINK LINK LINK!
Why does it ALWAYS happen when the Europeans are asleep...
I can't access facebook at work so I can't get a direct link but its on www.facebook.com/airasiaaustralia
I'm not asleep :D
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=199517683415988&set=a.198624783505278.50261.142065425827881
Like Air Asia Australia first, then like the pic. :) Left a comment too. :D
I can't.... Why can't I like it??
Current mark to beat: 127.
ooh you have to like air australia too? that might put people off :(
You have to like Air Asia Australia first. Go here: https://www.facebook.com/AirAsiaAustralia
When you've liked that, like the pic.
That's how Facebook works, we have to work with it.
awesome. I will blog for Sidepodcast as soon as I get home and reveal my big donation scheme :)
Complicated but done. Go go go, Amy!
you guys are the best <3
Feel free to tell your facebook friends who don't know me too ;)
We'll do that once your article is up. :D
Oooh, must add you, Alia... ;) Requested just now. :D
I wonder if it removes your like if you unlike air asia again straight away
WHAT? ;)
That wasn't the deal :)
Evening peeps
Lemme try.
It doesn't. :D
Shouldn't do :)
But I re-liked them - wouldn't wanna miss them announcing the winner! :D
woot!
How did public transport work before iPods?
Is that how adverts were invented?
Looks like only one other person stole my cardboard driver idea :)
One with no friends I bet ;)
Done :)
w00t! :D
And he covered Heikki - probably to spite you. :D
I wonder if I can plug it on the Team Lotus facebook wall or if they frown against that sort of thing.
Amy, is your page up now? Linkage please
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=199517683415988&set=a.198624783505278.50261.142065425827881&theater
Won't that be giving the game away unless you have the rep to carry it off
If so, go ahead
no one else can enter it now
Hmmm. Not too keen on it, TBH. These people won't know you.
What about those that already have?
that is true. I'd hope they'd be nice enough to help a fellow Lotus fan. Because I don't know 127 people :)
T127? :D
Some actually got a headstart, which I'm not very keen on. But then again, this person doesn't have Sidepodcast behind him...
Since Alison posted it already, I just reposted what she had. :D
the guy with the headstart has over 800 facebook friends so if hes only posting it on his wall to try and get his friends to like it his conversion rate isnt very good.
I think it would help if you tagged yourself
I can't 'like' it so far
I can't tag on my phone, I need to wait another 5 hours til I can leave work, unless someone else can tag me.
Done.
Did you already like AirAsia Australia? You need to like that first.
I have 675. ;)
We are SUCH a competitive bunch. :D
its hard not to be, I've never been in a competition with such good odds before!
Nono Bassano sadly liking my message doesn't count!!
:) We'll pull this off. :D
oh how i wish i could leave work and blog NOW
lucky for you, they're still asleep. make a text version now and sort out the rest when you get home.
Oh.... bother! I think I've sent an important letter in an envelope to the student loan company by accident. Well there's something I'm never getting back.
Bassano, have you figured out how to like the pic?
I'm also never going to sleep again after stumbling upon Alex's blog post about people staring in the window at you....
http://gamboling.co.uk/2011/03/10/close-the-curtains/
The Student Loans Company doesn't know what to do with its own letters let alone anyone else's...
Quite.
aw one of the getty photographers answered my Sepang question on twitter and put my mind at ease :)
Oh Ruddy Melonfarmers!
My bus did a Men In Black on me and I'm half an hour into a journey that takes 15 mins
Who changed the route
#InTheGhetto
this is why FB sucks spherical sports implements
That link would help
Grrrrrrrrrrrr
I used to get this bus to my hospital placement and no joke the quickest route was to get one bus, get off and walk 200m, get on another bus on the same route that was running around 25 minutes ahead of the one you got off.... RIDICULOUS!!
That's strange!
facebook.com/airasiaaustralia
http://www.facebook.com/AirAsiaAustralia
i am up to 5 woot *waves at lurking guille*
:D all this is helping me find those Sidepodders I haven't added yet. check your requests, guille! ;)
ooh a few of the earlier photos have a lot more likes than last time i looked #stress
This bus stop is out of action in accordance with the notice below
Over and over again. I just walked the last mile and a half singing [shouting] along to System Of A Down to channel the rage.
I was nice enough to warn the other bus stop dwellers of their impending fate
Bloody Boris Johnson!
My tweet displays a little of how angry I was.
Home now. Have Guinness therapy
*ease down Ripley, ease down*
feel free to like my picture while you drink :D
(everyone is going to be sooo sick of me by the time this competition ends)
I've already done so. Good pick by the way, you look good in it
I take it I'm not supposed to also 'like' the vacuous dolly birds in the other pics. Just checking
If anyone wants to 'friend' me based on this link, feel free to be sworn at most profusely [I hate FB]
[still listening to System Of A Down at 95%]
I'll hit you if you do.
I do not like the ones who clearly just want a free holiday and don't give a **** about the F1!
Blagging is an art form, abuse it while your fame lasts
Do both of you live in New Zealand?
the KFC Double Down burger goes on sale in Australia tomorrow. It might be the greatest day of my life.
I am from there but I live in Australia now :)
Is this the whole field? i.e. Competition entrants. You stand a good chance, most of them look like fools. If you kill the kids, I reckon it's yours for the taking
[I didn't say that]
I just have to hope that lots of sidepodcast lurkers are the kind helpful type :)
Maybe Malaysia is your next home?
Heikki spends a lot of time in KL
So did you blog about your GP visit?
Can't hurt to nobble the competition though, just to be sure
not yet but I definitely will.
Where are you based Konstantin?
Hahaha! So you'd swear at me, then? ;) Check your requests. :D
Cyprus and listening to sigur ros (right now in the UK but only for like 7 days more)
Bassano sounds italian... I know I am completely wrong..
Cyprus, thats very cool! are you on facebook? feel free to help me get to korea ;)
I don't do request anymore, sorry
Real people is where it's at. We'll have drinks in Manila sometime, honest
That was supposed to be this year, no? ;) Should do it soon. :D
The name has Italian routes, he was an artist in the Victorian era. Aim neither.
Kudos on the music, do you like Jonsi?
Anywhere near London?
Giggles bailed on me and now he's gonna be a daddy. If I can talk Janna into it...
I have the holiday :)
BOO to Giggles. Really wanted to see him in person... :)
Alison, wanna come to the Philipines?
He's a blast
I don't put up just anyone's window blinds :)
I can't believe the struggle you have to get people to join you on staff flights, if I was in the UK I'd be on that offer so fast.
:D
In London, yeah I should have guessed everyone online right now is on the other side of the world....
:D Alison, it's not that far from Australia, too. ;) Take Nick with you too! :D
Tell me about t!
there seems to be an awful lot of people in the UK who don't want to travel if its anymore than a 1 or 2 hour flight, I'm not meaning on sidepodcast, just UK people I know in general.
Living in a place where theres nothing else within about 8 hours its an odd mindset for me :D
I have to bring Nick too? Deal's off!
[kidding. But...]
Maybe I was was meant to be a Kiwi?
:D
I really don't see what the issue is, Businness Class is quite comfortable and First is always an option. Bunch of softies I reckon
Agreed. :)
I'd jump double fast at business class!
Maybe I should see if we want to strangle each other after SidepodBoston
[see what I did there?]
Maybe we could holiday after the Olympics
Heehee! :D
I think this go to bed early stuff is nonsense. I woke at 08:30 this morning and am no where near sleep. Maybe I should've been born a SidepodOwl?
You don't even take naps?
oooooh idea
I had a few hours after the race [well 4 hours after] but my body doesn't work on a 24hr clock
But as a rule, no
Where d'ya wanna go? I'm thinking South America. Ideas?
I'll have to think about it, I may have no money left. If I get all the tickets I apply for its $1500, flights wil be about $2000 and I don't even want to think about accommodation prices during that period! I'm going to try tack a GP on too if theres on in Europe during that time ;)
Fair enough. You're only young once.
You always have a crummy spare room with your name on it here. You never know, my flat might be half finished by then :)
very generous of you :) I really liked your flat. I'll be in London for a lot longer this time though and I'd hate to outstay my welcome :)
Mi Cas, su casa
I shall hold you to that and repay in Guiness and duty free liquor (if you drink liquor?) :)
That goes on Pie and Mas here
Guinness is fine :)
I'm good for it, Olympic village is about 30 mins away
* Pie and Mash
getting to Wimbledon from your place was not a challenge, and I assume it'll be even easier when theres an event on because they'll have buses to the stadium. thats my main venue of choice :)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pie_and_mash
mmm pie
I signed up for beach volleyball at Horseguard's Parade [where they change the guards]
must follow up on that
Proper East London food. You must try when you're here next
only 486 days to go!
I just got a press release to let me know the Royal Wedding will be live on 4 different channels. Oh which to choose!
I was hoping to be away for that. SidepodBoston coulda been a whole different affair.
I'm kind of jealous you lot get a public holiday for it. He'll be our king too, I want a day off!
Pamela got her work-neighbour to like the photo, she's on a recruiting drive!
You get way more holidays than us
You get Australia day there and we don't even celebrate the Patron Saints here properly.
In reality, it's only to boost the TV figures cos we all know it will rain :)
I'll probably end up watching just because the timezone works out alright, its on here between 5pm and midnight. I think I shall go with the UKTV coverage because it's a simulcast of BBC One and I'd rather hear the BBC telling me about it than some Australian journalist :)
Can we have her back after Malaysia, I think we're due?
#PamelaLoan
as long as you give her back in time for Singapore, my tickets are going to her house :)
Sounds fair. You may need her back for Korea too, just in case
definitely. I'm glad we don't have to wait months and months and months to find out the winner, the stress might kill me.
I should've known this day wouldn't go well
It started with double nightmares [I never get those]
I went to IKEA and left the picture frame at the till [for my Cahier photo]
then the whole night bus shenanigans
It's nearly Tuesday :)
I woke up to the news that my brothers girlfriends dad died last night, if its true these things come in 3s i'm worried who #3 might be.
Who was #2?
an ex colleague who officially is still missing but hes been missing in a lake since saturday so i'm counting him as #1.
Oh that sucks. Sending thoughts to family and friends
the office isn't the most fun at the moment, just hoping they find him so everyone can have some closure.
Definitely. Fingers crossed
Scarbs posted a piece on the Sauber wing thing
http://wp.me/pNdA9-na
i like that i finally know which part of the wing they are talking about thanks to that post :)
He should join Joe in GP+, his output is outstanding!
I have signed up for facebook. I have liked Air Asia and I have found Amy's photo. But I don't see anything on that page that lets me like it.
Clueless
Sorry
sorry
Sorry... joke... I have liked and commented.
It's next to where it says "Added 4 hours ago"
It tells me how many people have liked it but does not give me the option to do so.
What about on this link?
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=199517683415988&set=a.198624783505278.50261.142065425827881&theater
Tells me 9 people have liked it and lets me see the people but won't let me like the pic myself
It says this for me: You, Christine Swain, Amy Fulton and 6 others like this. Not for you?
did you like the airAsia Australia page as opposed to just airAsia?
That is a good question.
No
Air Asia Australia. This facebook thing is more complex than I expected
Done that and still can't like Amy's pic. Facebook hates me
that is really odd, have you tried a different browser?
Taken me a while to get the "like" option up on the photo.
When I was logged into facebook, I clicked on Alex's link, and the like option came up.
It didn't before though.
Tried another browser and I could see the like option. Then I logged in and the option to like disappeared.
when I click on the list of people who have liked it it says you already have.
I am also unable to like Amy's picture, i think its a conspiracy!
Alex's link in another browser worked.

feel free to comment on how much of a fan i appear to be too ;)
nope, although i can share it, not sure that it would count as a like though?
nope. did you like air asia first?
That was my problem, makes the competition 10x harder...
Have tried to do so :)
Currently in 5th place out of 22, goooo team us!
Great stuff, you might need people in the real world too to get over 100 though, thats huuuge
Stupid guy with his 800 facebook friends, my 130 cannot compare!
I think everyone who has already liked it should now get one other person to, colleague, neighbour, friend, wife, husband, dogs uncle, anyone #determined :D
Buy facebook ads to help you out :)
I might just spam all my facebook friends, the sooner they all like it the sooner i'll stop posting about it :)
Hmm, i wonder if they are real, it could be an internet marketer with a freindnet
Amy,
You should tweet Heikki, Tony Fernades, Gascoyne, Silvi and co and ask them to vote for you
;) Tactical :D
heheh not sure that'd work but i did think about it :)
I have a blog post to write first though. Imagine if just 10% of Mr C's 3500 followers liked it....*dreams*
You would have 1/10th of BFF Grosjean liking it too :D
Definitely. And get on to those guys we are supposedly having a flame war with
oooh that could be a good idea, not that ive ever joined in the flamewar
Amy, what's the prize?
There is a flamewar?
return trips to korea, paddock passes for the weekend and accommodation for the race
You could also 'spam' a pleading link in a comment of Joe or Jimmys blogs?
I have asked my friends for help on Facebook. Good luck Amy!
It's not the most aggressive flame war ever. You should listen to Another F1 Podcast. It's a couple of Aussies who swear a lot and decided to start a flame war but in the next sentence they decided they like sidepodcast.
even if just one person responds it will be one person more than I'd get without you. Feel free to harrass the ones who don't though :)
Two colleagues have already said yes and Mrs. Goat will too!
I <3 Sidepodcast. All the liking is going to help the podcast too, details at 7.
(Well not at 7, just when I finish my blog post)
Apparently your brain can't handle more than 150 friends, according to the book I am reading...
Indeed. Scarbs is grwat at explaining stuff!
That was a bit Heidfeld there!
I was going to ask if it was Danish :)
or if Grwat could be used with Amazini :D
Steven's tweet was better so I used his instead ;)
you're both excellent.
Someone needs to ban me from Facebook though because I keep going on to see if the number is climbing and its stopping me from getting anything done :)
I decided hashtags would hit more people.
Maybe post in the Debrief thread, people who listen to the podcast but dont read the Daily might look in the comments there?
morning everyone
Good thinking I'll ask Katherine too. Fourstar isn't on Facebook so I can't get him to do it.
my friend Kait isn't on Facebook so I've told her to log in as her boyfriend. Sneaky :D
I wasn't on facebook a couple of hours ago and I have no intention of using my account again
first Journeyer gets a twitter for me then you get a Facebook. I'd even be down for a giant sidepodhug if anyone was nearby :)
Facebook annoys me
A Christmas card that someone sent in December finally arrived last night...
Even for the Irish that's bloody late! ;9
It came from Canada - apparently it was bounced around for a while before it finally arrived

I sent something to Italy once at Christmas and it came back with 'address unknown'. Funny thing is that before or since they have arrived fine!
Hahaha! AMAZING. :D
:D
hehehe one of my friends liked it on an account she set up for her dog!
Ace - accommodation now sorted for Monza. Just need to work out travel details from Milan and I'm all set to go.
:D
He has a sworn hatred of Facebook so no dice.
Ah maybe he can get his wife to like you...
I trained to Monza station and then walked to the circuit the day I went when the shuttle buses weren't running, but there is a public bus that goes there too.
If its a big event they might put shuttles on too?
It's only the F3 / Blancpain Endurance series, so can't imagine them going all out. Will probably need to be there early to get my passes and whatnot.
Isn't there a train service to Monza from Milan Centrale as well?
do you mean Monza station or the actual station at the track? During the F1 trains only run to that station on the Sunday, I don't think its part of their normal public transport system.
Is the Monza station near the circuit?
So we could set up a million facebook accounts each? This should be easy
I used to have another one but its so long since I logged into it it wouldn't let me, and then I couldn't log into the email address to get the reset code they sent me because I haven't used that email address for years, so I gave up.
Awww. But Steven did it...
In any case, got a friend to like it too. Now at 21! Still some way off the lead.
So have I
its about an hour 20 walk, it's not close!
This has made me have to listen to Frank Black. He has a song called Massif Centrale (which is in France rather than Italy but that's just the way my brain works)
About half way through the song it goes totally amazing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzjxI1bEs30
(This is quite rocky music if you don't know about Frank Black)
I'm sure I can sort something - it will be one long morning of travelling though to get to the circuit in time for qualifying.
yeah theres definitely a bus,I just hate dealing with buses in English so much that I wasn't even going to bother trying to deal with one in Italian :)
You could give him a menial task to do untill he breaks down and does it for Amy?
Ooh!
Yep - have to pick up some cursory phrases before I head out. I may also be doing Nurburgring, Paul Ricard and Spa (or at least two of them), so languages would be a bonus.
*Note to self - don't use Google Translate
;)
Very interesting indeed
Multi National Interstellar Trading Covenant?
MNITC = multinational IT company.
LOTUS notes? :D Kidding. IBM? Accenture? HP?
...or Men Not In Total Control
Ha! No idea!
Im gonna go with Multi National Independent Trading Company
Malaysia Norfolk inter-transportation corporation
:)
I tried logging into my sister's account but since I am in a different country that didn't work too well. #stupidfacebook
I just had a nap instead of continuing to blog. Back to the blogging I go :)
Aye - last night I started an IndyCar post, but decided to sleep instead of carrying bleery eyed. Turned out to be a good choice
:)
I feel like that on some Tuesdays - then I wake up a bit and up writing my post really late!
My weekends to tend to be quite busy, so by Monday night I tend to be knackered
Aye. Last night I went to the supermarket in our new car (which was really nice not to go by bike) and by the time we got home I ate pasta, watched Jersey Shore and then I was too tired to do much else!
I was meant to go cycling last night, but was wrecked by the time I got off the tube
:(
Hello
hi pat
Time for a tea and a biccie.
Last night I got home, read a few comments/tweets and sat on the sofa, next thing I know it is 2 hours later..
Rich tea or digestive?
Sorry to hear that, that's horrible :(
British aren't they?
Anyone have a link to it?
Only flame war I'd like to see right now is "Joe vs Motorsport.com"
:)
Anything about that in GP+?
I still havent subscribed, I would happily pay 5 or 10 pounds more if there was an easy way to get it on the ipad
Haven't read the latest yet, but I doubt it's something they'd go public with to be honest
Very cool.. should be fun
Bit late for that now! There were logos in the last magazine
They were removed in an updated edition though
Custard Cream!
Did we hear some info about that? I think I missed that.
Amy posted about following the Aussie Audience with...
Might be a bit weird unless they explain what happened
Basically, motorsport.com promised Joe they'd do certain things relating to better journalistic practise in exchange for a deal with him and the associated respectability, then reneged on them in 2 days' flat.
http://www.anotherf1podcast.com/ and shows here http://www.anotherf1podcast.com/category/a-podcast/ I think it was the Preview.
Note... Usual swear warning for both site and show. :)
know what else would be fun? Free trip to Korea! Like my photo! ;) #itsbeenawhilesinceiplugged
I like the 'here, here, here, here' in the Daily, and the Vettel rant. Sounds like Germany now is like Britain in '07/'08 with Hamilton. :)
I think Joe may have won that one without needing to even talk about it more than once...
Many thanks!
Sorry to hear that *hug*
The good news is that you only need two languages (German and French) for that combination.
Great isn't it?
sweet
trying but office got busy will try later
thanking you :)
The guy whose leading is still increasing his lead but its going up by smaller and smaller amounts. I'm hoping that when my blog post gets published my numbers will increase *fingers crossed*
It's not fair that his has been up for days....
it didn't bother me until it took them more than 24 hours to put mine up after i sent it
Need to let MrC loose on twitter :D
Does anyone know of a collective term for books and magazines
Im thinking 'Written Material' but i am sure there is a better term?
publications... but that doesn't really cover books.
Publications? I can't really think...
:D
That would be a library of written material.
Thats good, i will use it and confuse everyone to what it actualy covers :)
Strictly speaking, you can even talk about a "library of ebooks" as a collective term.
Goodness, i dont think i could fit that on a sitemap im afraid!
how about Literature
or associated literature
I didn't know that site had a sitemap. I had to use a search engine.
Or writings.
I like it.
Would that cover comic books though?
In the broadest sense, yes.
This also has to cover something other than a sitemap
Sorry what are you doing?
I think Publications does it, books are published, leaflets are published, blogposts are published, everything is published!
Now I understand you. A sitemap is written material, so it could still be prefaced with "a library of..."
I imagine this is a question you have to ask Nick a lot ;)
:D
Making Money Online,
Its easy... havent you seen the adverts?
Wow sir - that is inspirational
:)
done!
thank you :)

Full onboard of Jenso going around Bathurst
(new nickname?)
Amy's lagging 145-31. But he got a 4 (yes, FOUR) day head-start. Must do better. :D
31 in one day is a mega effort!
But even if we get 31 every day until Friday, that just sums up to 124. On average, we'll probably need 40 a day.
Aww don't say it like that - all we can do is our best and be glad to help out!
Agreed. Just putting things into perspective. :)
indeed, even if we don't win it I'll be super grateful for your efforts <3
and so will Sidepodcast. :)
plus we don't know how much the likes count towards the winner and how much is the creativity :)
It will also be harder from today as the 'core' have all signed up.
Need more plugging on the interwebs :)
Amy Is your post going on your blog or sidepodcast?
shall be on here :)
Thats good, Should definatly get you more likes, I would link to it in the photo comments too, they might see it as a bonus :)
I will do more later and also link to it in tomorrow's daily ;)
I shall spam my facebook friends more tomorrow and harrass my workmates when they can't escape from me for 8 hours, but now I'm going to bed. 5 more working days til Malaysia!
You should walk round the office with a pale and say they should donate money to sidepodcast if they cant be bothered to click like twice :)
Sleep well and see you later!
Afternoon peoples.
Good afternoon.
'ello
Hiya :)
afternoon christine and everyone else,
lunch was lovely
:)
Afternoon all.
hi stuart
Site looking good in FF4.
In other news, Kimi news coming up...
Hi Stuart :)
What did you have?
IndyCar, right?
Good afternoon!
No cigar just yet
NASCAR? WHYYYYY #nothere
Chicken shish with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber's, red cabbage and diced potatoes - all very civil really.
Oooohh errrr...
Mind you it's in Turun so it may be cobblers
Awesome!
IndyCar in Vegas I'd understand... but NASCAR???
But it's getting reported anyway?
I thought he was happy in rallying :(
Heikki Kulta pulling an April Fool's joke or something?
Misses Juan?
They're a bit early for it...
nice
It's hard to be happy with 8ths and 9ths... But if Kimi thought F1 sponsors were demanding, NASCAR is just on another planet.
That said, Raikkonen vs Montoya in NASCAR would be fun.
Haven't heard anything about Kimi to NASCAR, although rumours of him doing the Vegas challenge are getting a bit loud
Vegas I can believe (he has no clashing races in WRC). NASCAR? Less so.
wow. if kimi goes to nascar i'm watching every race he's in. it'll be like the most awesome years of f1 with him and juan.
christine... we might need sky sports.
who are you and what have you done with mr c??? :D
Hehe. I knew this TV business would be a slippery slope.
i (heart) kimi.
you could fbfb it?
Deal.
premier sports
:D
though if you got sky sports you could watch IndYCar without a web feed
too easy ;)
oh. who?
german channel that take a direct feed from abc/espn, but leave out the ad breaks
aren't they also the german channel with uber-cool F1 coverage?
how much and can we get it on freeview?
Exactly.
I heard talk of £6.99.
Assuming that's the report (don't see it on Aspt yet) it could be to get oval experience in time for the IndyCar Vegas race.. and it might not be top level NASCAR.
not sure if they still have it
don't know and don't know i'm afraid
Just so you know that gap of 3 seconds between comments wasn't me :)
http://www.premiersports.tv/
?
makes sense
why not do it in IndyCar then?
bug.ger.
the rules of the vegas special means it has to be a 2011 one-off
That's Premiere. Which I think could be Sky Deutschland now.
Do they mention Indy Lights?
nope, but you've got to give those a chance though - most of the Lights crew are useless, but don't know it yet
apologies, but just feeling a little honest this afternoon
no worries. ;)
busy boy: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/90331
Here we go: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/90331
1 second!
Never saw that coming
Same route as many crossover drivers took but seemingly much more quickly. Same team name as his WRC entry. Very interesting.
less than that. we need comments to the nearest 1,000th :)
:D HAHA!
Doing it with a new team is a big risk in those series... those guys have been doing it a long, long time..
I can just see Lady Snowcat in the bleachers at Richmond with a Bud Light and a gigantic hamburger.
Hehehe.
yay! now to take advantage of it.
Disappointing news about Kimi. I want to see him at Le Mans, not NASCAR...
Gotta wonder if he tried via Citroen/Peugeot links.
Dunno. Why's he given up on Rallying so quickly?
he hasn't.
He isn't, that 's the thing. He's running both part-time.
He's doing both?
He's still booked in for 8 rounds this year.
That makes even less sense - how is he going to get up to speed and handle all the travelling this year?
Hello
That was a strange day topped off with another very odd dream
I think it might be the E numbers in the co-op onion rings. No wonder they were on offer
danica's doing something similar, no?
blame tweetdeck
We'll have to check his list of NASCAR events when it is released.
And not exactly setting either series on fire.
Besides, both are based in the States - the WRC is worldwide...
It's a dumb idea and he's doing it for the money.
How's he going to cope with media? Is this an April Fool released too early?
:D
how hard can trucks be? piquet jnr can driver them.
Ping: http://www.f1minute.com/news/pirelli-reflect-on-first-grand-prix-of-2011
They better not change the colour, my song will be out of date.
That's only really within the US, Kimi's going to have to do a lot more worldwide travel.. not that I know which WRC events he's entering
They are a similar level to the Nationwide and Sprint Cup cars - a little less power and grip I think.
And Martin's Knife, Toast, Butter, Jam crazy thing.
Well that needs changing anyway :)
He won't have trouble there. :) I didn't get a sense of timescale from the article, when's he stepping up the ladder, could be next year?
all except Argentina and Australia (I think)
Hm the TS article was published in English: http://www.ts.fi/moottoriurheilu/muut/208761.html
:D
Did the Robertsons bait him into this one?
Exactly. F1 is a walk in the park compared to this one. And his monosyllabic style won't get him too many sponsors...
:D
Mr C... Just out of interest would you be willing to disclose how many Gb of video bandwith you actually served last year?
Ok thanks
we would be willing to, but we don't have a clue. we've kept costs low for two years low by moving files from one crappy host to another. most don't do stats, those that do aren't accurate.
what i do know, is that on an accurate server, last month we used 600gb in four days. then we moved stuff again :)
I hold Natalie completely responsible.
hehe.
JRoberts: Breaking News: Sauber have decided not to appeal against their disqualification from the Australian GP
boo, but fair enough.
I can imagine... I was curious because, for some work related reason, I was just looking at Wistia's plans (100Gb per month) for £50: http://wistia.com/pricing
And I was just trying to imagine what popular sounded like.
Shame. :( RG will be gutted.
Who's Natalie?
my best guess is approx 3tb per month. not netflix popular, but troublesome enough.
That's crazy! Crazy!
we tried our best not to be popular :(
On that Wistia thing that would cost you £830 a month!
My question was related to, on this work thing, somebody had said, "well £50 a month doesn't sound much". And I said, "well it doesn't as long as you remain unpopular!"
I do like that you can upload the video once and it will encode all of the different versions for you and you only get charged once for the space though.
from 5live.
Christine's Rankings day today, so if anyone has anything that needs consideration, I'm all ears :)
ah
sweet
Back from Table Football - a clean sweep of wins today makes me a happy Leigh
:)
Christine... You know in Cars you were upset about the flashing yellow traffic lights, which weren't broken but were flashing yellow because there wasn't anyone there but you still thought they were broken and yeah... Any idea what I'm talking about?
Well they are planning on doing that in Portsmouth:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-12860433
Blimey. Not sure about that.
Well you didn't seem keen at it happening in a cartoon! So I didn't think so!
00:34:01 – I wonder if they shouldn’t get that traffic light fixed.
http://mrschristine.com/2009/11/20/film-watch-23-cars/
I have a strange memory
Hehe, I am impressed!
Oh I like those, they work well at night in the US and some European places. Flashing yellow means 'give way' and flashing red means 'stop'.
As in.. like the signs, obviously, not the existing light meanings :)
alex, thought this might be of interest - now we have the os x app store, i have only two applications that required installation from dvd.
they are: final cut pro and logic pro.
that says quite a bit about apple's attention to pro apps at the moment, but also, i hadn't realised just how close we are to software-in-the-cloud nirvana.
On the palm here they have the silliest traffic lights ever, they only have red and yellow lights. When they aren't red they flash yellow, supposedly to be safer than green. But nobody thinks they are traffic lights the first timethey come across them so they go straight through the red...
I use my laptop pretty much every hour if everyday, I haven't used the DVD drive in over a year when I installed office
Although, given the choice I prefer console games on disk
same, but this was a new install. which usually involves lots of dvd's.
Very good stuff... I migrated my old computer to my new computer over the wifi connection... Only took 6 hours!
I actually couldn't do the full migration because my new machine has less disk space than the old one.
At certain times of day (well, late at night/early morning, usually) a lot of intersections in the US will switch to blinking yellow for one road then blinking red for the intersecting road. Mainly if there's very little traffic during that time.
i should've done that, but i can't resit a clean install and fresh config files :)
If I had my way I'd like to have the game disc but not have to use it to play the game (like with Blizzard games). Actually, with blizzard games all you need is the serial number and you can download them if your disc gets borked.
I actually have a very clean system and have hardly any apps installed so this seemed pretty straightforward. Although of course that would have also been an argument for just starting fresh.
I have to move over the wirecast licence and then I'll be ready... I will need to do a test broadcast at some point to make sure everything is going to work for Sunday.
This Amazon cloud music store is the way forward... Well when Apple does it in six months it will be the way forward :)
It works quite nice so far, it'll really get a test on the drive home.
give us an app count. i've totalled 29 not-free-with-the-os apps.
hehe!
The Amazon cloud will (hopefully) finally allow me to get rid of my old iPhone 3G that just sits in my car and only exists to play music now.
only managed a 5 min play with it this morning, but i like what i see.
I thought it was US only? Nice if you guys could use it too.
the buying music bit is, i uploaded debrief and streamed it back.
ahh, cool.
Some things I would like to see with it:
A way to automatically upload a given folder, like Dropbox. Audible integration that also handles podcasts (so I can listen to them double speed).
I should really just email them!
Remind me when I get home... Although how you'll know when I'm home I don't know? ;)
i think it might be 4 or 5.
Don't worry Mr C will fix it ;)
Points for Sauber for this? http://sauberinsight.wordpress.com/2011/03/28/good-causes/
Sergio and Kamui for being cool on the forum?
Hi people.
..and home.
Another F1 Podcast would like to help Amy. :)
http://www.anotherf1podcast.com/2011/03/29/sidepodcast-vs-a_f1pocast-theworldsdhittestflamewar/
So nice to come back to a solid internet connection.
Oh crikey, they got there before I've put up Amy's. Bad Christine.
That's good.
Trying to think of other things from the last few days..
Plus:
Lotus (and McLaren?) for paddock tours for sidepodpeople.
McLaren/Button for the Bathurst run if that wasn't in last week's.
Minus:
Huge bundles for HRT slowness.
Karun for crashing at turn 1 lap 1 although I didn't hear if he said anything about it on 5Live so maybe he redeemed it there.
Trulli for whining about tyres.
Tsk tsk. We're now at 47. A healthy clip, if I must say so myself. :D
Here's Amy's - apologies for the delay: http://sidepodcast.com/post/help-amy-be-the-uber-fan-guest-post
(hearts)
Once the competition is closed and they’ve presumably announced that someone else who entered a totally different competition is the winner.
heheheheheeh!
Heikki says NASCAR is cool.
“@WahyuHarry1: @H_Kovalainen what do you think about Kimi's move to nascar next year? Interested to try too?” Nascar is cool why not?!

Has it been noted that Lewis Hamilton's Twitter ID is now @LewisHamilton?
Noticed that. Good.

I forgot about Pages, Numbers and Keynote. I think of them as pre-installed but they aren't I guess.
So:
Pages
Numbers
Keynote
Xcode
Interface Builder
Radiologic
Skype
Dropbox
Wirecast
Facetime
Transmit
Caffeine
VisualHub
13
do you not have xcode4? interfacebuilder is now built in, keeping my count below 30 :)
i'd forgotten about facetime though. doh.
that is a crazy small number of apps though, christine said she has 6 and i'm reinstalling hers later, so we shall see :)
I don't it was on my list of things to do but I was waiting for the new mac.
....
I uninstall things quite regularly, which I think is unusual.
i'd totally forgotten perez was a pay driver: http://joesaward.wordpress.com/2011/03/29/in-the-departure-lounge/
"Not bad for a pay driver,” he said, with more than a touch of irony, remembering that I had written that Perez’s recruitment was more to do with money from Carlos Slim than his talent
Well yes... But the transfer thing ran over night and then I had to go to work and then you made me count :)
can't say i ever do, but as this is a fresh install i picked what i need. radologik isn't likely to get used in a hurry so haven't done that for example. neither have i put eclipse back on.
heheheheh
I like this free e-magazine about sportscar/GT racing, the photography and design is excellent.

Lotus for Amy's visit
McLaren for Ron serving EJ a slice of humble pie live on BBC
McLaren for Bathurst but minus points for Jenson for driving like an old woman
Lewis and Jenson for the Spanish video
Paul di Resta for being so fab on the pre-quali show
Vettel for being great with the fans - Amy said so. I guess we need a full rundown from her.
Heikki for posing for a pic with Amy
That should do for starters
finally figured out how to link to the itunes f1 promo:
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewMultiRoom?fcId=425445822
they've added the flying lap and a motogp podcast since yesterday.
That makes sense.
No sidepodcast? or does the video link do it?
two sidepodcast. or at least f1 minute and sidepodcast video.
Seems odd they would put the video there over the audio?
*shrugs*
am just happy f1 minute is there. by far the most original f1 podcast out there (in my totally biased opinion).
ping: http://sidepodcast.com/post/formula-1-podcasts-and-apps-on-itunes
;) Well done for getting Apple recognition :)
That can only fuel the flame war ;)
:)
Is Giggles in the comments? I can tweet but commenting allows more words. :)
I just wanted to say that I just went to play the 1981 show and it is grey with an X in the box. It'll let me download though so I'm doing that (it might be a plugin I have which lets me do that?). This is on FF4. Presumably I'm missing something I need to install rather than a problem at your end?
I have found some England football in HD. Madness.
Is it true? Can you really see every blade of grass?
Erm... to be honest, it doesn't look spectacular. Only because I started on ITV and then switched to ITV HD so I can see the difference :)
there's a live sporting event on that you're not fbfb'ing??
Oh yes, me doing football, that would be... interesting.
Just use the cliches. They try to walk it in, he isn't that type of player...
They think it's all over?
It was over before they got on the field?
The bench looks weak, he doesn't have a plan be, he never plays as well for his country as he does for his club, etc
plan B not plan be
The formation is too rigid.
the player can't talk proper English (analysing the inevitable post-match interview)
The defence was SHOCKING
That lad's got pace
The ref needs new glasses
The keeper looks like he's swallowed a wasp
Why does he not just play players in the same position they play for their club.
I just don't see goals in this team.
Thats a new one on me.
It's a game of two halves, sick as a parrot, what this game needs is a goal...
A game of two halves is a good one.
Lawro used to say that all the time on FIFA 2000
Ah ok. I wonder if not all HD streams are equal, maybe ITV isn't as strong as BBC.
On Sky Sports HD the grass is so sharp it cuts your eyes!
Yea, I suspect it depends on the cameras quite a lot. We caught a bit of Doctor Who and it was STUNNING, but not everything on the Beeb HD is the same.
:)
If the ball is always being launched into the air you can use Brian Clough's comment.
If the game was meant to be played like that the sky would be green
when the man fell down, you could see blades of grass.
:D The F1 version for when one car goes skyward over the top of another:
If the sport was meant to be played like that the sky would be black
Aw man, I'm listening to some Soca music my mate from Trinidad my mate gave me. Think fast reggae - it's really good!
I'm really struggling for motivation today.... Not a productive evening.
Same :(
I don't think I have a shining example to follow though... I had to go to work for 5 hours this afternoon and when I told Nick I couldn't be bothered he told me not to go and seemed genuinely shocked when I went anyways :P

Amy is up to 72 likes in less than 24 hours.
Is she in the lead?
Aiming for more likes than a meeting of Californian valley girls. Like, y'know.
:D At my sixth form, it got called "likespeak" by one of the teachers and became something of a running joke...
Last time I saw the scores she was up to 4th. We need more likes

Amy is in 3rd place already. The leader had a few days start on her.

Oooh, cool.
have commented :) It seems my hunch at the weekend that Ferrari and the BBC have fallen out wasn't that far off.
The whole BBC site is down.
signs that it is the end of the world which such an event. Plenty of space for everyone in my bunker.
I think I can trace exactly when that happened...
I have just realised what good marketing this Air Asia thing is.. no wonder they did it on facebook..

Delayed as I was listening to Giggles Radio 1981 and adding songs to Spotify playlists :D
And they get a whole load of new people to spam with ads
you can unlike instantly though.
Which will lead to them being unfollowed if they spam people (after all, there's nothing on the competition that says liking Air Asia will result in ads).
