Ahead of Italy, we gather together for a relaxing discussion about press releases, chicane regulations and of course, the weather. Plus there’s a champagne competition a couple of expert callers, and as always, some good songs.
The music played in this show:
- Amy MacDonald, Mr Rock & Roll
- Ingrid Michaelson, The Way I Am
- Kristoffer Ragnstam, Swing That Tambourine
- Lost in Rome, Katherine
- The Maine, The Town’s Been Talkin’
- Adrina Thorpe, Fly, Fly, Fly
- Info about these artists and more available on the music page.
We’d love to hear your feedback about the concept of this show (it’s still new, you know), and about anything in particular in this pre-Italy episode. Also, let us know how you feel about the idea it being longer, as we seemed to struggle to fit in all our topics.

Just listened to via show via iTunes, looks like I’m going to have to go cycling even earlier now to make sure I get back in time to join in on the live stream.
Great job, so any chance your being doing this show EVERY Sunday? just wondering.

@Me
Forgot to say, many congrats to MediaTemple and you for Live Commenting Live… Thing being able to cope with nearly 5,600 comments last race weekend.
That puts take months total comments to over 11,000 already, and it’s only the 17th, and I though last months total of 8,447 was good.
With two race weekends, one of which a race weekend, to go still month may see you break the 20,000 comments mark.
If you thing I’m just guessing at these figures you can view a Google doc spreadsheet with two sheets of data on it, one for the monthly totals, the 2nd for the race weekends.

Hope these are of interest to you and Christine, and yes I have been a little bored.

good lord, that’s brilliant
you are a star steve, thank you.
September 17th, 2008 at 4:33 pmme said:
ooh, cheeky request re: the spreadsheet… any chance of also adding a line graph?
big fan of charts y’see.
September 17th, 2008 at 4:45 pmSteveintheUK said:
If I can work out how to make charts in Gdoc, any hints on how to do them?
September 17th, 2008 at 4:46 pmme said:
nope, but i know a lady who does
September 17th, 2008 at 4:48 pmSteveintheUK said:
I have read the Gdoc help file but I can’t find the little ‘Pie Chart’ button anywhere. With out that button I’m pretty stuck.
September 17th, 2008 at 4:56 pmSteveintheUK said:
@me
Think I may have worked it out, Edit>insert>chart and then move it to its own sheet.
So what what you like to see in a chart then ‘me’, I have done a few test charts if they are of any use.

Not sure what Pie Chart button they’re talking about. I have uploaded a pic to drop.io of how I insert charts…

Apologies for the poor red circles!

Thanks Christine
It confused me that Google called it a ‘Pie Chart’ button and then used a picture of a line chart for that button.
I also though that the ‘edit>insert>chart’ was for you to ‘insert a chart’ that you already had, and not to ‘make a chart’, who wrote that program anyway?
So are any of the charts any good? or do I need to select different/less columns?

ummm, my last comment seems to have disappeared after I edited it. Wonder where it went?
Hope Christine or ‘me’ can find it again.

can’t wait for your first “chalk n’ talk”!
September 17th, 2008 at 6:52 pmme said:
very good, exactly what i had in mind. the only additional that might be useful is similar charts minus the “live” posts, just because they unfairly skew the scale out of proportion.
so excluding live commenting, how does the trend look?

i tell you something. the british gp weekend that we were away, sure was a popular time.
we gotta go to more races

Bug the wife for tickets to the Canadian Grand Prix, me. There are some seats that are extremely close to the track…

@me, I have reworked the spreadsheet in a new file at
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=p6C8ilL3X_9cmHvm6BxB4Wg&hl=en_GB
Charts 4 and 5 may be what you mean, but 6 and 7 are of interest to.

Oddly enough, everytime I go away and leave my site alone, popularity increases as well. I think people are trying to tell me something!

ahh, ollie, there was thing i was gonna mention…
September 18th, 2008 at 4:00 pmme said:
sorry, forgot to get back to ya about this steve. those new charts are just brilliant thank you.
if you’re happy to keep these up-to-date, we can link to them from somewhere and track throughout the rest of the year?
up to you, am more than happy with what you’ve done already

@me
I only update them about once a week. I use that spreadsheet to prove to people that MediaTemple running WordPress can cope with thousands of comments a day so I will be keeping them updated. So please feel free to link away if you want to.
