Great day today, more medals in the cycling, a surprise on the field and a fantastic run by Christine in the 400m

Gutted - haven't been watching. Have been recording though, of course.

Disk space used - 1.136TB. Currently scrounging several hundred GB from other systems to give me enough room to record the rest without deploying my spare 500GB drive. DivX is compressing at just over 1GB/hour - going to take a while.

Edit - just seen we're five golds ahead of a certain country 'down under'. Hope we can stay ahead - they were doing their usual and gloating about overtaking us a few days ago - I suspect we could all derive great pleasure from returning the favour.

Take a look at this. Amazing 360 degree look of the Beijing Olympic Stadium just before the men's 100m final.

Can anyone find a video of Bolts final online? NBC are playing silly buggers and all the youtube feeds are broken. I don't care for quality, i just need to show someone who hasn't seen it (she been living under a rock).

Wow Mel thats ^^ awesome

It'll still be on iPlayer for a few days I suspect. I have a copy but it's going to be a while before I get to encoding that.

Meh.. I'd have been quicker but I approached it from the wrong angle, was looking at the whole episode on bbc iplayer trying to narrow it down when I suddenly remembered where I'd watched it myself
