Log off and back on. I had the same thing, back live now.

Thanks.  Yep, back to the soothing sound of Ron Christensen!

Brilliant job today, gentlemen.  Thank you!

To the audio streaming team, many thanks for the coverage and entertainment from afar. In particular, stepping out occasionally to listen to fast passes on the long course that could be hear on the streamed webcast was a treat.

Just a very big thank you for working out the issues. Very well done.

Slim missed his calling.   He makes for a great announcer.   He is quite an entertainer.

I've been lurking in the UK for coming up 10 years now, and visited Speedweek for the 60th, so I know how things have come on, and it's just brilliant being able to listen on line.  I see a fair amount of moaning about the lack of video, and I'm sure that would be great, but probably impractical, and frankly unless it's done really well I think it will detract from the experience.  However, sat here, dibbing in and out and trying to follow what's going on I can imagine 2 huge improvements that may or may not be practical.  A web cam so I can see who is in line, it would want to be HD, but only needs to update at about the rate the cars depart, so not much bandwidth.  Live timing - I don't think you even have that at the salt, so that'll be a few years coming

Anyway, that's my suggestion for a 10 year plan.  Cheers, Andy

Andy --  thanks so much.  I worked for a bunch of years to get the audio streaming going out here, and it's gratifying to hear your feedback.

Before we jump to video -- and I've talked with Chad from Bangshift about having him try setting it up for us as an experiment --  we've still got lotsa bugs working for and not against us.  Hey -- the laptop I use to stream took us in the goofiest directions before we figured out the big hassle.  We're getting there, and SCTA is working with us so we get good information to give out.

But -- sorry I don't know -- but WTF is "live timing"?  Whaddaya mean?

Stream for today id up and running and return record runs will begin in approximately 15 mins.

I did find SSS's laptop streaming issue yesterday afternoon so that is resolved! His laptop will be used for the remainder of SpeedWeek.

Today is my last day here, so enjoy the streams for the rest of the week.

Jon -- having lost the same 2 development years as the racers it's hardly surprising things were a bit rusty at the start.

by live timing I mean pretty much the time sheet we get from the SCTA http://nebula.wsimg.com/d8450724cda0bb92b29eb3dd73d26c76?AccessKeyId=1B489604A3781742F233&disposition=0&alloworigin=1, but one get that fills out as it happens, or near enough.  The SCTA file is great, but as things stand I have no idea who is running on a record this morning.  I was trying to find the times for Alain Prost's lad, but as he ran on the short course there don't seem to be any.

I hope that makes sense

Records runs are beginning now!
