Ahhhhhhhhh!
Here goes then, our very first attempt at a live Sidepodcast weekly audio show. It’s all a bit new and scary, and we’ve spent most of the morning fiddling with wires and saying “Testing, 1-2″ a lot.
However, things seem to be working, and amazingly it looks like we’re going to be on time. You’re very welcome to join us, get involved, have your say. We’ll be checking the comments all the time for anyone who’s out there, and it should be much more interactive than ever before.
The Live Commenting page has been tweaked slightly, but it’s not perfect yet. I’m sure the man will let you know what he’s done to it as we get going, and if you’ve got any suggestions we’d love to hear them. We’re struggling to get the format to suit both live commenting and live streaming, so we’re happy to hear your thoughts. Visit the page now if you want to join in the fun and you won’t have to refresh the page as you comment.

Alex. try restarting your page.
August 17th, 2008 at 15:08 #24 - Alex Andronov said:
Also “me” (a very minor thing) you need to run the smiley code after the code that moves you to the bottom because that’s putting us out of line slightly.
August 17th, 2008 at 15:09 #25 - lou said:
no problem
thank you for fixing the IE thing

Hey guys, thought I’d drop by and say a hello while checking out what you’re up to. Looks great. re. Southern Hemi – it’s just that their seasons are the other way round, I believe.

I wonder if Mika could request all his trophies be erm, re-made? Sucks for him.

There was a theory at one time that DC would replace Horner
August 17th, 2008 at 15:33 #134 - Alianora La Canta said:
I think Ron has already said he’ll help get Mika new copies of the trophies. Can’t remember where he said that, though.
August 17th, 2008 at 15:34 #135 - Ollie said:
Horner reminds me of Richards. Fairly down to earth and happy to speak to the media. He rarely sounds like he’s reading from a script, unlike Domincali.

I think Steven meant there was, at one point, a rumour about DC replacing Horner. I think it was back in 2005.

I’m probably in the minority here, but please no
I’d rather have Anthony Davidson. Sure he sounded like a hyper chpmunk when Jenson won, but he’s fun
August 17th, 2008 at 15:37 #149 - Jordan Allen said:
How about Chris Amon?
August 17th, 2008 at 15:37 #150 - Scott Woodwiss said:
ran his team AND drove the car.
August 17th, 2008 at 15:37 #151 - Alex Andronov said:
And if me says, “the best drivers don’t make good team bosses”… perhaps as DC wasn’t the best driver…
August 17th, 2008 at 15:37 #152 - Alianora La Canta said:
Maybe DC could take over the “Track Insight” stuff – do testing and use part of it to do pieces the BBC can use for explaining how the cars work and what they’re like to drive.
August 17th, 2008 at 15:37 #153 - doctorvee said:
Yeah, Stewart could have got bad, but Jaguar’s problems were as a result of the endless changes at the top of the team and Ford’s poor management..
August 17th, 2008 at 15:38 #154 - Scott Woodwiss said:
jaguar were the ones who made it worse in the first place, stewart won a race in 1999, when did jaguar ever acheive anything like that!
August 17th, 2008 at 15:38 #155 - Jordan Allen said:
Chris Amon the worst race drivres make the worst team bosses.
August 17th, 2008 at 15:38 #156 - Ollie said:
Good point Ali, Brundle’s getting on a bit. How long can he keep driving the cars.
August 17th, 2008 at 15:38 #157 - doctorvee said:
Yeah I’d definitely rather it was Anthony Davidson. But DC might be a good analyst (Blundell type) rather than a commentator I think.

August 17th, 2008 at 15:39 #159 - Alianora La Canta said:
The Fittipaldis’ team boss tenure was not spectacular either. So the worst team owners are combinations of the best AND worst drivers…

I don’t know. He tries to keep fit but he does have time against him…

you usually found in the turbo era drivers running out of fuel due to using the boost too much

Worse would be Monaco without refuelling.

Brundle will be 50 next year (and that makes me feel reeealy old!)

August 17th, 2008 at 15:41 #168 - Alianora La Canta said:
Hungary, if it had no pit stops, would probably have slightly more overtaking because there’d be more incentive. No amount of incentive would make Monaco overtakable…

It also lets them get round the testing restrictions, since it’s not an F1 engine and therefore not bound by the 30km rule.

That would work as well, Ollie, but if they’re going to have it nipping in and out of bushes and car park spaces, the testing restrictions have to be considered…

The Beeb have more red button channels on FreeSat as well, so it might be worth getting FreeSat for the start of next season because hopefully they’ll utilise it for F1.

Gary went to Stewart just before Belgium 1998 and was sacked by its successor, Jaguar, in mid-2000. After nearly joining Arrows, he went back to Jordan at the start of 2002.

One side effect is that the “Top Commenter” section is now ever-so-slightly skewed (as in, over 20% of my comments in the last month were provided in the last 2 hours).

I guess if anyone has questions for Scott it would be best to e-mail them so that Scott has to answer them live. It would sound like a scripted show if he knew what was coming in advance and would probably be less fun for Scott.

wow i have really slipped down the top commenters thing haven’t i…
August 17th, 2008 at 17:15 #508 - Steven Roy said:
502 comments on a live show. It didn’t seem that many

Cheers me & Christine!
I don’t know if you noticed in all the madness at the beginning of the show but it would be really cool if this could get fixed:
It’s off by about a post now. The line height seems to be slightly higher for the images. I’m using Firefox on PC atm.
Not that I want to complain. It is awesome!
August 17th, 2008 at 17:17 #512 - Steven Roy said:
Comment numbers usually get skewed by live commenting on a race so this is like having a race with no Friday or Saturday

August 17th, 2008 at 17:21 #516 - Alex Andronov said:
What looks like is happening is that it reloads the data, scrolls to the bottom so I can see the new post for a second. Then I can see the smileys turn from symbols into pictures which shifts everything down…
I will drop.io thouh…
August 17th, 2008 at 17:24 #517 - Ollie said:
Just realised something: How many comments do you guys get going to moderation, especially in the live-blogs that garner 1000+ responses? That must be a lot to go through?
August 17th, 2008 at 17:28 #518 - Alex Andronov said:
I have dropped. It is actually 5 posts behind…
August 17th, 2008 at 17:29 #519 - me said:

will fix, no probs.

just had a look and found 4, two of yours, one from scott d. and one from vee.

August 17th, 2008 at 17:33 #522 - Ollie said:
No worries, I wasn’t bothered about you checking, just curious about the amount. Seems manageable though – I had a thought of you having to go through hundreds!
August 17th, 2008 at 17:36 #523 - me said:
nah, it’s okay. during the past two hours approx 20 actual spam comments were caught, and we started with a clean sheet, so just two pages worth to scan.
August 17th, 2008 at 17:36 #524 - Christine said:
Ah, that was fun.
I’m about to start editing, and thought you could join in this too, if you like. Usually, before I touch anything, we take a guess at how long the show will end up.
So, today, I’m gonna guess at 26 minutes.
I don’t edit it to make it fit my guess or anything, it’s just a bit of fun. As you guys were all party to how long it took to record, feel free to join in.
Me? What’s your guess this week?
August 17th, 2008 at 17:37 #525 - me said:
38 mins.
August 17th, 2008 at 17:38 #526 - lou said:

Actually I might revise that. I reckon you might have only recorded 15 minutes of show!

34 minutes

Considering that Me and Chrisitne have a basic idea of how much gets edited out I will split the differnece and say 29 minutes.

Right I have the solution to the problem of the picture on the wall…
I suggested earlier projecting a picture…
But surely you should have projecting live comments onto the wall!
That would really break the fourth wall! And allow Christine to see what was going on!

Gee, I forgot to make a wager to see if Chrisitne or Me would obtain a “pressure-related” injury while conducting a F1 podcast….
That might have been a first.
Nice T-shirt, by the way.
August 17th, 2008 at 18:00 #537 - Jordan Allen said:
Yes, but that would require a flat-panel computer screen at teh very least and that would break the funding to Christine’s Monaco Race dream-hopes. Not that there was not any funding in that cookie jar but I am sure that where all of Chrisitne’s extra money goes.

The options are not in English but there is a translation just underneath. I think it’s pretty good. Well it’s keeping my occupied anyway… although I have the same problem I tend to have in all driving games – breaking :/

You can get projectors that take the image on the screen of your computer and project it on to a screen or white wall

How freaky. Great minds, eh?

Me did suggest that he didn’t want it to end. Maybe he’s broadcasting your whole life now!
August 17th, 2008 at 18:28 #542 - me said:
that would be all kinds of awesome.
am thinking, we could also do the enhanced part of the show live that way too. at the moment we have no means of displaying photos sent in, back on to the live stream, but they could be beamed onto the wall too.
we don’t own a projector of course, and we’d also be adding one more fan to an already noisy environment… food for thought though.
August 17th, 2008 at 18:39 #543 - Jordan Allen said:
It would be a case of “F1 meets Star Trek” if you can hook up Scott’s webcam to the projector.
No bonus points for Chrisitne saying “on screen” when me informs her that they have a connection.

oooh, nice one. we’ll not have it ready in two weeks though

Re: Miro – it was the fact that you guys introduced a torrent stream that made me take a second look at it. Like Christine, I’d installed the program some time ago but found that it was very unstable.
One of the things I’m liking most about Miro is that it seems excellent for organising media. As with iTunes, you can automatically delete files after so many days. This is particularly useful for me; someone who’s spent the afternoon clearing off gigabytes worth of audio and video files that were scattered randomly around my hard drive.
You could stream Scott’s webcam (picture-in-picture) and show user submitted photos/videos using CamTwist. And it could also be used for a chalkboard session.
August 17th, 2008 at 19:39 #547 - Jordan Allen said:
If we can continue with this idea, it might not be a good idea to dress Christine up in a red shirt if this “hook the projector up to the web cam” idea works.
August 17th, 2008 at 19:53 #548 - me said:
very interesting, had not heard of this before. the only issue might be this line:
“CamTwist can be quite resource intensive, so the more CPU processing power, the better.”
more power normally means more fan noise, which we’re trying to avoid, but i’ll download it and see what we can do. cheers.

the replay video is now live should anyone fancy watching again!
you know what’s weird though? that picture on the wall is a straight as an arrow, but it looks completely wonky once the webcam lens distortion has gotten hold of it.
anyone have any ideas on how to make it look straight?
August 17th, 2008 at 20:48 #553 - Steven Roy said:
Get CHristine to stand at an angle to match it

Make the floor crooked to fix the problem with the picture.

You could always charge him 10p every time he says it wrong, even if he never learns how to say it at least you can raise the money for a projector or something
Get Christine to look at the picture on the webcam while you adjust it to make it look straight?

Remove the picutre?
August 17th, 2008 at 20:59 #557 - Jordan Allen said:
It real answer is to lower teh camera but then it will not focus on Christine. Try having the picture at an angle.

hmmm. it’ll look odd for the rest of the time though.

Surely now that you’ve got all of that equipment in the “studio” you can’t use that room for anything else now though.

Yes all of this is leading up to the inevitable conclusion that you really need a projector there…
It’s just affording that and hiring Ted next year that’s going to be the problem.
August 17th, 2008 at 21:44 #561 - me said:
we’ll have to do a behind the scenes post about how everything is setup (at least once we’ve sorted it).
everything packs away nicely though and the machines that record the show are the same ones we blog with and the same ones we create video with etc.
having a picture hanging on the wall at a 30 degree angle might be a bit annoying after a week or so
August 17th, 2008 at 22:03 #562 - Steven Roy said:
Have three picture hooks. Two level and one at an angle and move the picture before and after each show.

lol
you could always crop the photo so it’s round and then get it blown up. With Photobox (which is who i use) and Jessops i think, you can adjust the photo so that it fits best on the paper…. so in theory you could end up with a round photo with a white border. Then all you need to do it cut it out
I apologise if that made no sense. I’m bad at describing things.
August 18th, 2008 at 00:37 #573 - me said:
that made perfect sense lou, however the wall is magnolia (or similar)
colour matching that against a jessops print might not be much fun.
i have had another idea on-par with steven’s earlier genius… why not just get a floor-to-ceiling print? that way the picture will bend along with the lens distortion.
pricey? yes. genius? i think so
August 18th, 2008 at 00:43 #574 - lou said:
ah yes, i can imagine that would take a while.
lol. That’s a great idea.
Not cheap as you say, but I imagine much cheaper than a projecter 
However I’m not sure I know of anywhere that would do that large a print…. there probably is somewhere….

You could:
1) Open a drawing program
Use preferred method of affixing poster to wall
2) Set the canvas width and height to the desired diameter of the poster
3) Draw a circle in the middle (use the circle tool to avoid unnecessary hair-pulling antics)
4) Insert whatever picture you wish (by copying-and-pasting an image you like – after checking copyright – or by drawing freehand)
5) Print (you will almost certainly need several pages)
6) Use the circle edge as a template for cutting poster out with scissors
7) Use sticky tape behind the A4 pages to reassemble desired image
