You Know We’re Going to Talk About It
For reasons that I may never understand, we’ve been coerced into another live show this week. There’s been no time for planning so it’ll be exactly the same as last time, although maybe a bit shorter.
Because it’s such a hot topic, there’s no question the FIA / Ferrari / Massa pitlane incident will crop up at some point and just to throw a curveball into the proceedings, we’re going to attempt to take some skype calls.
If you’ve been stewing over the FIA’s ineptitude for the past 24 hours, now might be a good time to get it out of your system. The number is 0121 28 87225 if you’re in the UK, or +44 121 28 87225 from elsewhere. You can also call us using the Skype name sidepodcast which has the added benefit of being free. Please remember you’re live to the world though, so try and keep it clean!
The plan is to go online at 3pm BST, although we’re running a little late already. Please join us if you can, and click the red logo in the corner to be directed to the Live Commenting Live… Thing. We’ll be there shortly!
Update: The chat thingy went a bit awry, so we did a second broadcast.
Big thanks to Alex from sofaf1 for being our technical guinea pig on this one.

It seems to be saying Not Broadcasting. I think this means they’re Not Broadcasting yet
August 25th, 2008 at 15:04 #2 - Scott Woodwiss said:
not late, am i?
August 25th, 2008 at 15:04 #3 - Alex Andronov said:
That was weird. My comment didn’t come through initially.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:04 #4 - Alex Andronov said:
Ah all working now.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:05 #5 - lou said:
hey everyone
August 25th, 2008 at 15:05 #6 - Steven Roy said:
Test
August 25th, 2008 at 15:05 #7 - Scott Woodwiss said:
i had no idea you guys were live recording again, only just came back on after doing an online job application
August 25th, 2008 at 15:06 #8 - Alex Andronov said:
Hey Lou! Hey Scott!
August 25th, 2008 at 15:06 #9 - Steven Roy said:
Looks like we all had problems with our firs comment attempt
August 25th, 2008 at 15:07 #10 - Alex Andronov said:
Mine came through I just couldn’t tell that it had until I refreshed.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:07 #11 - Scott Woodwiss said:
mm not real
August 25th, 2008 at 15:07 #12 - Scott Woodwiss said:
not really*
August 25th, 2008 at 15:08 #13 - Scott Woodwiss said:
i didn’t anyway
August 25th, 2008 at 15:08 #14 - lou said:
mine first comment was ok
August 25th, 2008 at 15:08 #15 - Scott Woodwiss said:
have you got follow incoming comments ticked?
August 25th, 2008 at 15:08 #16 - lou said:
i meant ‘my’
August 25th, 2008 at 15:09 #17 - Steven Roy said:
Mine came through but also stayed in the bo you type in but I had to refresh to see any comments that were already there. I could see in the home page you had made comments but they didn’t appear here.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:10 #18 - Alex Andronov said:
Yup. It was my first one as well so strange. But clearly not a major problem.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:10 #19 - Scott Woodwiss said:
this time next week it’ll be me live with those two!
August 25th, 2008 at 15:10 #20 - lou said:
I like that the logo is linked
but it seems to be split into 6 little pieces here over on the live commenting thing… not sure if that is only happening on my laptop though
August 25th, 2008 at 15:11 #21 - Steven Roy said:
I had a totally empty comments box after 3 comments had been made.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:11 #22 - Scott Woodwiss said:
I’m getting a split link as well lou
August 25th, 2008 at 15:11 #23 - Alex Andronov said:
That’s happening for me in IE. But not Firefox
August 25th, 2008 at 15:12 #24 - Steven Roy said:
‘me’ mentioned yesterday that it is made up of a few little bits
August 25th, 2008 at 15:12 #25 - lou said:
that would explain it – i have IE
oh yeah i remember now
August 25th, 2008 at 15:12 #26 - Christine said:
Hi everyone, running late, as usual.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:13 #27 - Scott Woodwiss said:
i was just about to ask where you two had got to
August 25th, 2008 at 15:13 #28 - Christine said:
The image is made up of individual pieces so that the text will wrap around it. Not sure what the link issue is? Sure ‘me’ can investigate when he’s not running round like a headless chicken.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:14 #29 - Scott Woodwiss said:
those pieces are kind of split up
August 25th, 2008 at 15:14 #30 - Christine said:
The funny thing is, I came up with something in case I have to fill again… but it’s no use unless we’ve already started
August 25th, 2008 at 15:15 #31 - lou said:
it’s not a problem – just thought i would mention it.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:15 #32 - lou said:
hehe
August 25th, 2008 at 15:15 #33 - Christine said:
He asks whether it was doing it yesterday, because he’s been in cahoots with Ollie from BlogF1 and they changed something.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:16 #34 - Scott Woodwiss said:
yeah, doesn’t really bother us. the link works, that’s the main thing
August 25th, 2008 at 15:16 #35 - lou said:
nope it wasn’t doing it yesterday, not that i noticed anyway
August 25th, 2008 at 15:17 #36 - Alex Andronov said:
Jings and Crivens! Cahoots I ask you! My oh my!
August 25th, 2008 at 15:18 #37 - Alex Andronov said:
etc.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:18 #38 - lou said:
i will pop a pic of it into drop.io so that you know what we mean
August 25th, 2008 at 15:18 #39 - Scott Woodwiss said:
erm, what?
August 25th, 2008 at 15:18 #40 - Christine said:
That’d be excellent, thanks Lou
August 25th, 2008 at 15:19 #41 - Scott said:
Hi everyone, the logo’s also okay in both Opera and Safari, so it must just be an IE related issue.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:19 #42 - Steven Roy said:
Make sure it is not a big picture that uses up all the drop.io space
August 25th, 2008 at 15:19 #43 - Alex Andronov said:
Cahoots always sounds a bit PG Woodhouse to me and so it tends to put me in mind of other Woodhousian words…
August 25th, 2008 at 15:21 #44 - Christine said:
Apparently we’re having input issues. We’re getting there though. Sorry for the delay, hold on tight
August 25th, 2008 at 15:22 #45 - Alex Andronov said:
My guess is that it will be a return issue. IE sometimes renders returns. It is supposed to be whitespace independent but sometimes it forgets. If you take out the returns between the pictures it might just work.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:22 #46 - Flibster said:
Erk……
Just had all the comments scroll through the screen at once – I’m a fast reader but thats rediculous.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:23 #47 - lou said:
ooooo we have picture!
August 25th, 2008 at 15:23 #48 - Christine said:
We’re going live with video, so you might see me. Let us know if you can see and when/if you can hear.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:23 #49 - lou said:
i can’t hear any sound though
August 25th, 2008 at 15:23 #50 - Alex Andronov said:
I can see a still… And it’s saying Buffering…
August 25th, 2008 at 15:23 #51 - Scott Woodwiss said:
hmm, can’t hear anything?
August 25th, 2008 at 15:24 #52 - Steven Roy said:
I see Christine
August 25th, 2008 at 15:24 #53 - Scott Woodwiss said:
picture works fine, but there’s no sound :S
August 25th, 2008 at 15:24 #54 - Alex Andronov said:
Not Broadcasting again now
August 25th, 2008 at 15:24 #55 - Scott said:
I also have video, but no audio.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:24 #56 - Steven Roy said:
I can still see video
August 25th, 2008 at 15:25 #57 - Alex Andronov said:
Ah now video but a lot of buffering. Of course that could be my end.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:25 #58 - Christine said:
Almost there. We might have to stop and restart but should be fixed then. Fingers crossed.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:25 #59 - Steven Roy said:
I heard a sound
August 25th, 2008 at 15:25 #60 - Scott Woodwiss said:
oh there was sound for a split second there
August 25th, 2008 at 15:25 #61 - Scott Woodwiss said:
there it is!
August 25th, 2008 at 15:25 #62 - lou said:

Proper sound now

boogity boogity boogity, let’s go live people!
August 25th, 2008 at 15:27 #67 - Flibster said:
We have video and sound here.
I do hope that wasn’t an alcoholic drink…
August 25th, 2008 at 15:28 #68 - Scott Woodwiss said:
pic is a-ok for me
August 25th, 2008 at 15:28 #69 - Steven Roy said:
The picture is fine
August 25th, 2008 at 15:28 #70 - Alex Andronov said:
I like the view… but I’m getting a lot of buffering still
August 25th, 2008 at 15:29 #71 - Steven Roy said:
Do you need new tyres? Michelin
August 25th, 2008 at 15:29 #72 - lou said:
Christine looks lovely
oo the photo is straight!
August 25th, 2008 at 15:29 #73 - Scott Woodwiss said:
more brand advertising there?
August 25th, 2008 at 15:30 #74 - Alex Andronov said:
It’s probably just me. I’ll restart. Don’t say anything too interesting
August 25th, 2008 at 15:30 #75 - Scott said:
Try refreshing, Alex. I was getting buffering initially, but it has gone now.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:30 #76 - Flibster said:
All I can see is something small and white – could be a model of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow man.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:31 #77 - lou said:
it’s alright christine i have’nt seen the films either
August 25th, 2008 at 15:32 #78 - Scott Woodwiss said:
you might be in enough trouble with the brands already, don’t make it worse!
August 25th, 2008 at 15:33 #79 - Scott Woodwiss said:
boogity boogity boogity, let’s go live people!
August 25th, 2008 at 15:33 #80 - Flibster said:
Good god the Valencia track is getting a roasting from the press.
El Mundo said “The most exciting place was the pitlane”
August 25th, 2008 at 15:33 #81 - Scott Woodwiss said:
or not
August 25th, 2008 at 15:33 #82 - Scott Woodwiss said:

August 25th, 2008 at 15:37 #86 - Scott Woodwiss said:
everything’s fine for me, i’m just listening at the moment
August 25th, 2008 at 15:37 #87 - Steven Roy said:
You asked if everyone was still here
August 25th, 2008 at 15:38 #88 - Alex Andronov said:
I really can’t get this to work sadly
August 25th, 2008 at 15:38 #89 - lou said:
that sounds better
August 25th, 2008 at 15:38 #90 - doctorvee said:
Lou – sound quality seems to be worse than last week I reckon. A lot of ‘clipping’ I think they call it.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:39 #91 - lou said:
ah ok
thanks, i know nothing about this kinda thing 
August 25th, 2008 at 15:39 #92 - Alex Andronov said:
Having said that it’s been working ever since
August 25th, 2008 at 15:39 #93 - Flibster said:
Alex, You running peerguardian or an ip block list or anything like that?
You may need to disable it or allow a couple of sites through.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:39 #94 - Alex Andronov said:
It’s working all well now!
August 25th, 2008 at 15:40 #95 - Scott said:
The audio’s much improved now. Well done guys.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:40 #96 - Scott Woodwiss said:
oh noes, not force india!
August 25th, 2008 at 15:41 #97 - Scott Woodwiss said:
i can’t really hear “me” very much
August 25th, 2008 at 15:41 #98 - Alex Andronov said:
I agree with Christine
August 25th, 2008 at 15:41 #99 - Alex Andronov said:
That’s much better
August 25th, 2008 at 15:42 #100 - Scott Woodwiss said:

Still better than James Allen.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:42 #102 - Alex Andronov said:
It’s queen and Bowie together. Quite hard to beat!
August 25th, 2008 at 15:43 #103 - Alex Andronov said:
I hope it’s been a bad week for James Allen
August 25th, 2008 at 15:43 #104 - Scott Woodwiss said:
it’s always a bad week for us when we have to listen to him
August 25th, 2008 at 15:45 #105 - Scott Woodwiss said:
valencia has some great architecture, but instead all we saw were containers and cranes. not exactly picturesque, is it?
August 25th, 2008 at 15:45 #106 - Alex Andronov said:
It was a green track. And it was green by the track.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:45 #107 - Flibster said:
Grey tarmac, grey concrete, grey fencing….
It’s America! Just like the old Detroit or Caesars Palace tracks
August 25th, 2008 at 15:45 #108 - doctorvee said:
I need to shoot off and get ready for work. Will listen to the podcast later. Enjoy the liveness everyone!
August 25th, 2008 at 15:46 #109 - Scott Woodwiss said:
is it up on drop.io?
August 25th, 2008 at 15:47 #110 - Alex Andronov said:
Was it the same guy both times?
August 25th, 2008 at 15:49 #111 - Scott said:
A lot of San Miguel consumed.

There was a crisp packet that seemed to hang around for a long time.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:52 #116 - lou said:
Was it them Hamilton was complaining about? or was he just complaining about the other drivers in general?
August 25th, 2008 at 15:53 #117 - Alex Andronov said:
I wondered if Lewis didn’t want to mention Alonso by name in case Spain went crazy!
August 25th, 2008 at 15:54 #118 - Scott Woodwiss said:
hamilton almost didnt race because of that illness he talked about in the press conference
August 25th, 2008 at 15:54 #119 - Alex Andronov said:
Lewis suffered from a dodgy pillow
August 25th, 2008 at 15:54 #120 - Gaulty (Sunning it out in Portugal) said:
Hello from Portugal.
Can´t get a decent thing on this computer, all white boxes flashing up and down?

Amazingly somebody went and asked Lewis what these “Health Problems” were.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:55 #125 - Alex Andronov said:
Gaulty. They would like more details…
August 25th, 2008 at 15:55 #126 - lou said:
he had a spasm in his neck in the early morning apparently.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:56 #127 - lou said:
DC had to have injections in his side when he raced after his plane accident cause he broke is ribs
August 25th, 2008 at 15:56 #128 - Scott Woodwiss said:
“Ferrari sure Raikkonen will fight back” – erm, are you sure you’re sure?
August 25th, 2008 at 15:57 #129 - Alex Andronov said:
I reckon Kimi just said, “we’ll fight back, for sure…”
August 25th, 2008 at 15:57 #130 - Scott Woodwiss said:
and not a trulli train all weekend, it seems
August 25th, 2008 at 15:58 #131 - Scott Woodwiss said:
I think Kimi said when his engine went yesterday *in a less than interested tone* “Oh look, engine’s gone…..damn”
August 25th, 2008 at 15:59 #132 - lou said:
yeah five live said that. I heard it too.
August 25th, 2008 at 15:59 #133 - Scott said:
Yeah, I think it might have been David Croft who said they got to chose.
August 25th, 2008 at 16:00 #134 - Alex Andronov said:
Where is Alianora when we have a rule clarification needed?
August 25th, 2008 at 16:00 #135 - Flibster said:

Hi guys
I didn’t know you were doing more live podcasting!
August 25th, 2008 at 16:03 #137 - Flibster said:
There would be some spare – how many cars are in GP2? 26 isn’t it?
August 25th, 2008 at 16:03 #138 - Flibster said:
I think it was alcohol in that glass….
August 25th, 2008 at 16:05 #139 - Steven Roy said:
For the last 15 minutes I have had constant buffering and ‘not broadcasting’. I am going to try rebooting to see if that solves it.
August 25th, 2008 at 16:05 #140 - lou said:
you can just imagine Martin standing next to him rolling his eyes
August 25th, 2008 at 16:05 #141 - Scott said:
Yeah, there are 26 cars in the GP2 field.
August 25th, 2008 at 16:06 #142 - Dom said:
Martin didn’t really know what had been going on in practice either…
August 25th, 2008 at 16:06 #143 - Red said:

August 25th, 2008 at 16:07 #148 - Scott Woodwiss said:
no problems for me, although the audio is a little quiet for my liking, and laptop

no problems for me at all

It’s fine here too, as well.
August 25th, 2008 at 16:09 #152 - Flibster said:
Both good.
August 25th, 2008 at 16:09 #153 - Scott Woodwiss said:
that’s much better for ‘me’
August 25th, 2008 at 16:12 #154 - lou said:
ermm? ok…..
August 25th, 2008 at 16:12 #155 - Scott Woodwiss said:
seriously i thought you’d said “something else” there ‘me’, too much info…
August 25th, 2008 at 16:12 #156 - Flibster said:
Pardon?!

I’m getting buggering all of the time now

I meant buffering… whoops…
August 25th, 2008 at 16:13 #162 - Scott Woodwiss said:
hahahahaha!
August 25th, 2008 at 16:14 #163 - Scott said:
Eh? :p
August 25th, 2008 at 16:14 #164 - Flibster said:
Thats devotion to podcasting there.
August 25th, 2008 at 16:15 #165 - Red said:
Has there been an update on Kimi’s mechanic?
August 25th, 2008 at 16:15 #166 - Alex Andronov said:
You’ve got to do what you’ve got to do!
August 25th, 2008 at 16:15 #167 - Scott Woodwiss said:
nakajima did that overtake on barrichello near the end at the last corner
August 25th, 2008 at 16:15 #168 - Alex Andronov said:
August 25th, 2008 at 16:16 #169 - Dom said:
I think Button moved up thanks to the Alonso accident.
August 25th, 2008 at 16:17 #170 - Scott Woodwiss said:
i wonder if kaz is getting death threats from the spanish fans or something like that now after taking alonso out
August 25th, 2008 at 16:18 #171 - lou said:
didn’t he move up 3 places though?
August 25th, 2008 at 16:18 #172 - Dom said:
DC spun too.
August 25th, 2008 at 16:19 #173 - Scott Woodwiss said:
from what i saw he went on the yellow light, not the green
August 25th, 2008 at 16:20 #174 - lou said:
DC started behind him though didn’t he? i suppose kimi’s accident moved him up too…
August 25th, 2008 at 16:20 #175 - Scott Woodwiss said:
they should have a christmas tree of lights like drag racing
August 25th, 2008 at 16:20 #176 - Alex Andronov said:
Me too. And I think Kimi took the blame himself.
August 25th, 2008 at 16:20 #177 - Flibster said:
Now they are thinking of changing Massas engine before Spa, they still have the free change for Massa available. Plus the Ferrari V8’s do seem fragile in hotter conditions – which shouldn’t be a problem in Belgium. Although you can never predict the weather there.
It appears that the ‘reliability modifications’ that the FIA signed off on are working really well.
August 25th, 2008 at 16:21 #178 - Dom said:
It says a lot about F1 that Massa gets a fine for something out of his control, and Kimi escapes from punishment after hurting a mechanic.
August 25th, 2008 at 16:21 #179 - Scott Woodwiss said:
If it rains in spa, ferrari are screwed. if it doesn’t mclaren are screwed
August 25th, 2008 at 16:22 #180 - Alex Andronov said:
Perhaps it’s useful to have the engine’s break a few times. Maybe they have a whole load of new performance enhancements they want to put through?
August 25th, 2008 at 16:22 #181 - Scott said:
Ferrari were always prepared to protect Schumacher during controversial incidents, but I don’t think they view Kimi in quite the same light.
August 25th, 2008 at 16:22 #182 - Flibster said:
Sadly, it’s Spa so it’s likely to do both.
August 25th, 2008 at 16:22 #183 - Dom said:
Oh yeah. Best ignore me.
August 25th, 2008 at 16:25 #184 - Flibster said:
It wasn’t Massa’s fault. Apparently it was Sutils fault.
Riiiiiiiiight….

Karun Chandhock was given a drive-through penalty for the same thing, in GP2, at Valencia.

We were having a party during the race. When the race is really good the talking will stop and people will pay full attention. But this time it didn’t happen. The racing wasn’t more interesting than the chatting.

The thing that works quite well is that we are either listening to the show which is interesting and funny. Or we are listening to the wheels falling off the wagon which in itself is pretty funny. And then there are all the comments which are interesting and funny too.
Not sure you getting more proficient particularly helps us. But it might mean that Christine isn’t editing at 3 in the morning.

Also, thank you for coming up with a title, because this makes my job a hell of a lot easier. You have no idea how much this helps.

Biggest problem with running your own live streaming server – you need a beefy connection to run it from. The one we use at work is on a 5mb upload iirc.

Well if you were just bad I’m not sure it would work. But because we’re so used to listening to your incredibly proficient podcast it does seem that the juxtaposition is pretty amusing!

This week was great, as was last week. The beauty of you going live means we get to catch the funny moments etc. It’s great to see the behind the scenes and it’s also brilliant to have such interaction with you. We all get to chat and have a laugh together, rather than just pressing F5 to refresh the page and wait for a reply to a comment.

August 25th, 2008 at 17:41 #377 - me said:
so here’s what i’m thinking (but don’t tell christine). if the studio is set up on a sunday morning. we could do a live pre-race show (mostly chilled music and bits of chat). then leave everything plugged in to do a live show in the evening (for us / candia / australia listeners).
it means the edited podcast won’t go out until monday though.
thoughts?
August 25th, 2008 at 17:41 #378 - Alex Andronov said:
Me. I don’t know if you saw that I was suggesting that if you took out the returns between the slices of the “live streaming” images it might fix things in IE.

ahh, cool. haven’t looked tbh. i blame ollie, he had me up til 4am changing images left right and center.

August 25th, 2008 at 17:43 #382 - Scott Woodwiss said:
would the finished show have both pre and post race recordings?

oh, Christ, first I have to put up with James Allen going on about Lewis Hamilton all the time at the races, now its Alex Andronov going on about Scott Woodwiss at the podcasts….

You need to start a podcast. The perfect excuse
August 25th, 2008 at 17:43 #385 - Alex Andronov said:
Sounds good.
I wonder if adding some kind of clapperboard to the live show might work for the audio editing as well. Making it a bit more efficient.
August 25th, 2008 at 17:44 #386 - Scott Woodwiss said:
you love my name really
August 25th, 2008 at 17:44 #387 - Alex Andronov said:
Scott Woodwiss did make several Senna-esque comments earlier.
August 25th, 2008 at 17:44 #388 - Scott said:
It was a very strange decision, and I think we can say with the benefit of hindsight, a very poor decision. I remember there were rumours at the time that di Montezemolo wanted the team’s structure to feature Italians more prominently.
August 25th, 2008 at 17:45 #389 - me said:
i’m thinking the am show would be just live, and maybe put out as a download “as-live”, but never edited. the evening show would be exactly what we just did.
August 25th, 2008 at 17:45 #390 - lou said:
That sounds great. It would really add to the Grand Prix build up.
However make sure it’s not way to much hastle for you two. You both do soo much for sidepodcast already. But if your both up for it etc, that would be amazing. I have one request about going live on a sunday evening – could it not go on into the small hours, i’ve gotta go back to school soon 
August 25th, 2008 at 17:45 #391 - me said:

That is the point of being live. You don’t know what you are going to get. If it was always super slick it would be boring. You have two tings that are always going to screw up somewhere along the line. Real people and technology. Put them together and you will occasionally have problems but having problem shows will make the good ones even better.
August 25th, 2008 at 17:47 #395 - lou said:
haha same. i end up scheduling my social life around the f1 callender… not that i mind
August 25th, 2008 at 17:47 #396 - me said:
might be tricky that one. only because f1 digest doesn’t go out until 9pm(ish). so that’s the earliest we can do it. brazil will presumably be worse, but fuji and china will be afternoon shows.

I’m going to go for whatever Ollie says.
August 25th, 2008 at 17:52 #403 - Steven Roy said:
Actually my point was that everytime ‘me’ said looking over my shoulder at the comments he fluffed his next line. Nothing to do with sound quality.

This sounds good, by the way.
August 25th, 2008 at 17:54 #405 - Scott said:
I actually thought that this week’s show was considerably better than the first. Up until around three quarters of the way through, it was all going extremely well, and came across as well polished. It was only the last segment when ‘me’ and yourself struggled to get your words out, but that’s perfectly understandable given that this was only your second effort. No doubt live show number three will be even better.
August 25th, 2008 at 17:54 #406 - lou said:
oi forgot about f1digest.. yeah i understand… may have to miss a few of the live shows then… but to be honest it depends how many study periods i get on a monday as to how awake i need to be
even if you start at 10 though, surely it will be finished by 1 in the morning?
August 25th, 2008 at 17:54 #407 - me said:
it was worth, shoulda known IE would cause trouble.
me too!
projector it is then
i’m guessing one hour before itv broadcast, up until they start their show. so 12pm usually?
August 25th, 2008 at 17:55 #408 - Ollie said:
I can’t guess this week, I only heard the last 20 minutes or so. I have absolutely no idea.

one would hope so, that’s true.
August 25th, 2008 at 17:57 #411 - Steven Roy said:
Since I missed a chunk of the broadcast kicking everything between my computer and the phone line I will guess the podcast time based on ignorance of what actually happened. You know you’re an F1 fan when you have racing driver excuses for every eventuality.
32 minutes.
August 25th, 2008 at 17:57 #412 - lou said:
erm…. 41mins.
August 25th, 2008 at 17:58 #413 - me said:
i think so. mostly because it’ll be queuing samples and music which is all hands on mac stuff. i’m sure christine can be convinced to join in too though.

I was thinking during the live show today that it would be a lot easier that way. When one makes a slight error whilst talking in a real life conversation, it isn’t necessary to ask the question, “Is is possible to edit that out, or do I need to do another take?”
August 25th, 2008 at 18:12 #426 - me said:
that’s true. with the show we’ve just done, we were concious not to break anything for people who aren’t interested in “live”.
we a new show though, we’re able to do whatever works.

With Mogulus, blogTV, Justin.tv, Ustream.tv, etc. there’s obviously quite a variety of live shows about now, some sport related.
Even though some of these are available on-demand too, the hosts have an easier time as they don’t have to worry about editing.

sorry, i meant the weekly show we do goes out to thousands of people, and presumably they download it because they like it as it is. so we didn’t want to change the format and suddenly go laid back and talky, which is why it remains tight and edited.
if we create a new show, and start with zero listeners, we can do whatever suits.
August 25th, 2008 at 18:31 #433 - Jordan Allen said:

As an added behind the scenes anecdote: I’m editing some of the show, listening to the man say 1-2, 1-2 a lot as he gets the levels right.
In real life, he is trying to get Skype working and saying 1-2, 1-2.
Tis very confusing.

So on the hunt of the “who decides which pit box everybody goes in” I have this:
23.1.B) The FIA will designate an area in the pit lane where each team may work and one place where pit
stops during both practice and the race may be carried out.
Which doesn’t help us very much…

i wish you guys could see this. christine’s editing with phones on, i can hear the channel though. i can also send an open mic back to her.

Oh dear! This sounds very confusing!
August 25th, 2008 at 18:59 #441 - Ollie said:
The last I heard was that it came down to an agreement between Ecclestone and Mosley. Years and years ago, Mosley allowed Bernie to make the final decision on garage allocation, and Bernie based it on the results of the previous constructors championship. The winning team can decide if they are at the start or end of the pitlane and the other teams follow the order of points finish from the previous year. Regarding McLaren this year, Bernie broke his arrangement, and that annoyed Max which is why he apparently sent Benrie a letter saying something along the lines of “others have complained, revert to your old way of doing it”.
August 25th, 2008 at 19:03 #442 - lou said:
lol
i would not like to be christine at that moment, i would be very confused.
August 25th, 2008 at 19:03 #443 - Alex Andronov said:
Yes. Well that sounds right to me Ollie. But Me and Lou seemed to think that which way round the pit lane went was up to the number 1 team. So Ferrari could decide to be near the entrance or near the exit to the pitlane. I hadn’t heard this before.
August 25th, 2008 at 19:03 #444 - Scott said:
One of the biggest seems to be Moohead Radio. I’m not sure whether I’d recommend it, though. It used to be on Mogulus, but has moved over the blogTV. There was some info on the Mogulus website about how they took Skype calls, I’ll see whether I can dig it out.
Have you registered an account at Mogulus? They provide a seriously impressive flash-based toolkit, which allows you to do things like show photos, and insert audio and video packages into live shows. Yaika is an interesting platform, too.
The downside to Mogulus, and this type of website in general, is that the majority of viewers seem to use it to kill time, and have only limited interest in the shows. As a result, the Skype calls and discussion that takes place in the chat rooms, can be somewhat moronic, to put it mildly.
I’ve something else to mention, but will do so in another comment, to avoid the spam filter.
August 25th, 2008 at 19:05 #445 - Alex Andronov said:
Here’s the other one that’s crucial for this weekend:
That last bit makes it look like they did follow the rules. And you can see why Ferrari were so keen to stress that Sutil wasn’t impeded.
August 25th, 2008 at 19:06 #446 - lou said:
I was just agreeing with ‘me’ that i heard it on five live. David Croft said it during their coverage. I had never heard of it either.

Play Radio UK is the other thing I wanted to mention. Whilst it’s probably not exactly what you’re trying to achieve, it is interesting nonetheless.
Play Two UK is basically their talk radio station. But they promote new media heavily. Obviously listeners are able to call in, but they encourage webcam usage, and accept callers by Skype. As well as allowing you to listen through their website, they also have various studio cams, allowing you to see both the caller and the DJ. They do seem to be a long way ahead of any mainstream station, in this respect.
August 25th, 2008 at 19:15 #451 - Ollie said:
As I said, that’s how I understand it as well. Although once the decision has been made, they cannot keep changing it during the season. Ferrari always prefer the start, but I think Williams occasionally chose the far end, although that’s going back a few years now, and my memory’s a little hazy.

Mogulus have some further info on Moohead’s set up:
We do not provide simple live audio streaming, however, one of our dear producers Moohead (http://www.mogulus.com/mooheadradio) has a radio show and has given us his recipe for sound streaming:
Here is the entire audio chain:
Behringer B-1 Mic plugged via XLR connector to a Mackie 1402 VLZ Pro Mixer. Mixer Tape Out to line in of desktop (this is for the audio stream and audio archive of the show)
Phone Calls: We use a Comrex Stac 6 phone interface mated with 2 Vonage IP phone lines plus a transparent 877 number from Vonage. This allows our viewers to call in toll free! We use a standard handset phone that hooks into the Stac 6 handset hardware. I answer calls as the lines light up. The Stac 6 controls caller levels.
Studio cohost: We use 2 Comrex Access units. These devices connect my co-host and I together through the internet WITHOUT TYING UP A PHONE LINE! The Comrex Access connects to a static IP port in my cable modem. Even though we are 2000 miles apart, we sound like we are in the studio together. The Comrex Access utilizes low latency audio codecs so we have virtually no lag, as well as high fidelity. This is important because it enables us to send one high quality audio signal to the Mogulus studio, containing both of us, as well as our phone callers.
Mogulus Studio: Next we run from the Main Out of our Mackie Console to the Line In of a laptop that is ethernet connected to my cable modem. We have a 15Mbps download, 2Mbps upload broadband connection. This sends all of our show audio to the Mogulus Studio, so everyone can be heard. Finally, we connect the laptop USB out to our Mackie Channel strip, using a USB sound card. This enables viewers to hear all audio from the videos we pull from the internet and create ourselves. All we do is “un-mute” the channel whenever we run a video that originates from the Mogulus Studio.
Video: I use a Canon GL1 3 CCD camera plugged into the laptop via firewire. This camera can be manually adjusted for low light performance. My co-host uses a standard high end webcam!
The end result is a program with sound quality that equals FM radio at its best.

i liked the way you included the live comments 
I had just left the page since last time, and the video just started back up again.

yeah, i think it refreshes every so often…
August 25th, 2008 at 19:51 #496 - Christine said:
Yup, that’s how we need to do it. Instead of this: “looking over my shoulder” business. Our setup needs some alterations.
Alex is a pro!
August 25th, 2008 at 19:56 #497 - Ollie said:
I still had the live app open in one of my tabs, and I presume it just started again. I thought I had navigated to a website that auto-plays music and was about to start swearing, but when I put my headphones in again I realised it was you. So yeah, it must just autoplay. And thinking about it, whenever I open up the live app, it buffers for a few seconds and then automatically starts.
August 25th, 2008 at 19:56 #498 - Alex Andronov said:
Well I had the huge advantage of not being able to see anything else. Christine has to look at the camera or the microphone and Me is looking at Christine!

When we sit there saying “It says it’s not broadcasting” we don’t have to refresh for it to start. I guess it’s the player for your channel rather than the player for that show.
August 25th, 2008 at 19:58 #502 - Steven Roy said:
The first time you go to the page you have to press play but if you stop broadcasting and then re-start it comes on automatically. I left the page open to occasionally monitor commets. I was doing something entirely different and then I had Christine in the background. Very confusing.

Christine is awesome of course. After three (I think maybe more) voicemails I’ve sent in I have learned of the Christine magic!
I don’t mind at all. I’ve never had any qualms or worry about the broadcasting live thing which was very handy tonight.
I was really worried about how it might sound if we talked over eachother. So haven’t heard how well it works I would have laughed more and said “yeah” like me does more. But I was trying to stop myself incase it stopped the recording working well (and also I didn’t want to get into a retake type situation).
I have obviously just been listening. And now I have realised that Me was making a really good point just before the whole owl situation. I had been listening but then once the owl came the whole thing just fell clean out of my head!
August 25th, 2008 at 20:29 #515 - me said:
sometimes skype has an awful delay, which makes that impossible, but i could hear we were pretty much in-sync so i carried on like any other conversation.
owl-gate!

I wonder if Max sent that owl to make sure you were saying nice things!
August 25th, 2008 at 20:36 #517 - Alex Andronov said:
I was listening on speakers rather than headphones (by the way) and obviously Skype is doing some scary magic to make that work. And I thought that part of that was that was to stop playing you guys while I’m speaking. So that was what I was mainly worried about.
August 25th, 2008 at 20:37 #518 - Alex Andronov said:
It really couldn’t happen without her. I very much third that!

a question about the upcoming interview – the microphone on my laptop is built-in, so if there is a bit of an echo, will that be a problem?

do you have yourself a pair of headphones?
August 25th, 2008 at 21:56 #533 - Scott Woodwiss said:
sadly no. although, the skype calls i’ve had with my friends haven’t had any echo. I guess beforehand recording we’ll just have to test it and see what its like.

ok cool. i’m looking forward to it very much. i watched the recording with alex and it looked and sounded like a lot of fun.
While listening to it, I had a thought – would having occasional guest callers via skype be feasible. what i mean is something like “and to give his/her views on the week’s events via skype we have such-and-such.” or something like that.
i dunno, it’s just a thought. i just wondered because it might be cool to hear someone else speak out about their opinions on current f1 news.
August 25th, 2008 at 22:13 #539 - me said:
that’s pretty much what we were aiming for today. it was basically what we were alluding to with phone numbers in the post above.
no idea how it’ll work, but maybe we’ll leave the lines open and answer if someone rings, or maybe we ask for callers on a specific subject.
the technology got the better of us sadly, but it’s still early days.

Sorry that you have decided to do a live showing of the Monday show after all. I had no idea that Lou would be so apt a student we she asked me how to do the “Old Jedi Mind Trick”.
I gather that after her successes in gettting the live show she is planning to get Scott Wioodwiss to confess his unbounded love for Kimi and all things Ferrari during his interview with you.
Come to think about it, that’s what got me to argee to training Lou…..

Where is Alianora when we have a rule clarification needed? {Alex Andronov – 451 comments ago}
In this case, attempting to get DOSBOX to work on my computer. Mostly successfully, but still I probably should be on the Net more
As it happens, there is provision for punishing this kind of incident (and all other in-race incidents) in Article 16.3 of the Sporting Regulations. It is one of the four punishments below:
a) a drive-through penalty
b) a 10-second stop-go penalty
c) a 10-place grid drop at the next race
d) (if the penalty is issued in the last five laps or after the race) a 25-second penalty
There is no provision whatsoever for a fine to be given, either on its own or alongside any of the penalties above.
The FIA have therefore breached Article 16.3 – either Massa was innocent, in which case no penalty should have been given or he was guilty, in which case one of the four punishments above (and only one of the four punishments above) should have been issued.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:56 #574 - Alianora La Canta said:
I was under the impression that the closest to the pit exit was the No1 pit box. {Flibster – 450 comments ago}
Normally it is because it has the best and biggest facilities, but evidently Ferrari decided that it preferred having the end-of-pits advantage this time around.
Has there been an update on Kimi’s mechanic? { – 419 comments ago}
Mr. Timpani (the mechanic in question) has a fractured toe, but nothing else is wrong, according to Ferrari.
It says a lot about F1 that Massa gets a fine for something out of his control, and Kimi escapes from punishment after hurting a mechanic. {Dom – 404 comments ago }
The FIA tends to assume that teams pay driver fines for them, and that injured mechanics that don’t inconvenience other competitors (including those on the same team) are a team discipline issue. It is ironic though.
it’s Spa so it’s likely to do both. {Flibster – 400 comments ago}
So presumably BMW will win if both Ferrari and McLaren are defeated by the conditions
It wasn’t Massa’s fault. Apparently it was Sutils fault. {Flibster – 398 comments ago}
Someone needs to remind Massa of Article 23.1d of the Sporting Regulations, which says
Had Massa stopped to let Massa out, Massa would have unduly delayed Sutil and Felipe would therefore have been given a penalty (to add to the fine already meted out). Sutil was merely saving him some trouble by complying with the regulations. If the Ferrari team can’t spot Adrian coming down the pit lane, it is not Adrian’s fault – it is the fault of whoever failed to spot him in time to stop Massa.
FIA being inconsistant?
Who woulda thunked it. {Flibster – 395 comments ago}
Inconsistent behaviour from the FIA is very consistent behaviour for the FIA.
Try saying that ten times quickly…
“oh look it’s not working” WHACK! “yay now it does!” {Scott Woodwiss – 385 comments ago}
If it works for swipe card machines and my computer monitor, it should work at Woodwiss Way…
Sato-Senna in 09 is rumoured. {Dom – 323 comments ago}
That sounds about as plausible as a La Canta-Inoue line-up for STR next year. Senna I can believe. I can’t see how Sato is going to be more attractive to STR than Buemi (though given how quickly STR can fall out of love with drivers, I can believe that they may be thinking of replacing Bourdais

The maps stuff is doing my head in, to be honest. I’m getting through it, slowly, all 2200+ of the blasted things. Key thing for me at the moment is getting BF1 back up to speed again. Recent posts garnered a few comments so the regular peeps are still there, for which I am incredibly grateful to.
Also been fixing a few issues with the longevity of the pages. I worked out how to keep older pages for future reference and still marry them up with newer pages – just requires organisation and the right URL/permalink. And I also noticed Google Earth had updated a couple of the circuits on the calendar, so I did that for BF1. They updated the Shanghai circuit, but only the colour/res, they’re still not showing the track, just the building site.
