This is a somewhat belated post – I should have written in sooner (especially as I was wearing my “I’m blogging this” T-shirt on the first day) but I was caught up dealing with Canon and other things, so this post has been evolving quite slowly. Anyway, on with the story… 🙂 We drove up […]
I can finally look back at my camera problems without completely blowing my top. It started a few weeks ago (March 24th, to be precise) when my Rebel XTi started reporting “Error 99” when I tried to take a photo. The error message said “Shooting is not possible. Turn the power switch to OFF and […]
I followed the email from Rogers (my ISP) that told me they were dropping Symantec and I should install their new anti-virus offering. I should have known better, but I don’t know what came over me. It’s my own stupid fault, and I’ll never get those two hours back. The email told me that I […]

Lots of news to catch up on – the diffuser decision and a few other tidbits. Both Brawn GP drivers did well in practice, as did Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg and Jarno Trulli. (Fastest in all 3 sessions was JB @ 1:35.679)
I decided to do just one quick post to cover all three practice sessions. Friday practice 1: Lewis Hamilton in the McLaren was fastest (1:37.334) with Brawn GP cars of Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello taking 2nd and 3rd place in the timings.
Lots of Formula One news today: After 43-years in Formula 1, Ron Dennis has formally handed over control of McLaren Racing to team principal Martin Whitmarsh. “I doubt if (FIA president) Max Mosley or (F1 supremo) Bernie Ecclestone will be displeased by my decision.” [BBC] [FIA] Ferrari are dumping KERS (the Kinetic Energy Recovery System) […]
I didn’t post the points table after the Malaysian Grand Prix because I knew the FIA hearing about three teams’ diffusers could turn it upside down; however, the FIA ICA have declared the diffusers legal and so here are the current point standings as we head into the Chinese GP weekend:
