Rob who joins us at Wimbledon to work with Jay dealing with all the photos editing, processing and sorting out for the wimbledon website is a true gaming guru and keep and amongst other things a Golden Eye N64 Uk champion.
He he is in the garden of our rented house playing a superb import bemania game on his DS. As you know I love rockband, well this is the mini version with drums.

Yes we have to live on this. How glamorous
The food here at the Wimbledon press centre is not great. I am not a pro-food photographer but this is the best thing I have had so far. Not saying a great deal.
Having given up on the 4 types of sandwich, I resorted to yoghurt.
As Jay points out there is also the profiteering immorality of the prices knowing media corps are going to suck up the expense.
So I think that tommorrow (middle sunday day off) I will have to find some real food to eat, but not this

failwhale
I decided to join the failwhale facebook group to honour the out of service picture we get on twitter occassionally.
I did a quick SL sign, but what I want to do is recreate it as a sculpty.
Maybe have an app detect and then rez it in SL when it happens.
Shirts, hats, contact lenses all to do yet too. A side project of course

Oi! where's my video gone.
**update 9:20am 25/1/08
Just had it explained to me that IMG had been trawling for copyrighted material and accidently revoked my video. I have had a conversation indicating that we want people to be able to youtube and record their time at Wimbledon and that we they need to be careful in the balance of brand ownership and protection, against the blatant ripping of content. As we engage with a brand we take a little ownership of that brand. Its a hard balance for media rights companies, and there are subtleties and impact way past the obvious. Still its getting sorted and normal service will be resumed. I did also point out I dont want special treatment because I sit in the room next door, this care for public content needs to apply across the board.
*original post for the record
I was a little surprised just now to have got this DMCA removal of a video I just posted to youtube. As I work onsite, I have access to the wimbledon grounds, but where I shot the video is open to the public, and we had a photo session there today for 10 mins.
The new number 2 court is being built and some terracota statues are in place of some of the players. I videoed them and the court and cut a small video becuase it all looked like a Second Life build.
"This is to notify you that we have removed or disabled access to the following material as a result of a third-party notification by IMG Media claiming that this material is infringing:
Terracotta Warriors at Wimbledon 2008: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=a_ROI-4VqDY
"
Someone being a little heavy handed. So I have filed a rebuke via email. However i suspect some conversations will be needed tommorrow with some "colleagues"
And its posted on eightbar
If it turns out I am wrong in some way then that puts pay to any form of behind the scenes commentary. Could be an honest mistake on their part. Either way grrrrrrr!
