Default New series of Top Gear starts 22nd of June!

Well, it looks like it was true! The new series of Top Gear starts on Sunday the 22nd of June, at 8pm on BBC2.

The end of this video says "This sunday" without giving a date...
http://www.topgear.com/content/video...adband_wm.html

But the radio times confirms it as the 22nd
http://www.radiotimes.com/ListingsSe...s_fullpage.jsp

I, for one, am really looking forward to it!

Cool - a good bit of detective work there. Thanks for the heads up. Now with the BBC Iplayer I can also see it without having to invite myself round to a TV owning friends house

Thanks

Yes. God bless Iplayer!

And wow... I didn't expect anyone else to be up at 4.30am! You work with computers right? Hehe. I don't know what it is about working with computers that makes me stay up late... But I know I'm not the only one!

As of the 23rd, I'm a Web Applications Developer. Woop!

Well done SBT - what languages are you proficient in? Are you freelance? I find the internet so much quicker at this time of the day so uploads that take hours are done in about 15 mins. I think us computer people tend to suffer from insomnia! I also run backups at this stupid hour - at least we have the light mornings.

Thank you

My main language is PHP w/MySQL. I dabble in JavaScript, Bash, C and the occasional bit of VBScript too. I'm not freelance - but I have done a few little projects for people in the past to tide me over.

The net is a lot faster at this time. I always get close to my full 4mbit at this time, provided the server is question is up to it. Although, to be fair, I live in an area with quite a high population of pensioners who don't "get" the internet: so my contention ratio isn't bad during the day.

This site is PHP/MYSQL - I do javascript too with a bit of Ajax. Not tried C VBScript or Bash yet though. I'm getting 7.5 mbit at the moment - it crawls at around 1.5 at peak times!

staying off topic im not bad i get around 5mbit at silly oclock and during the day 3.5 slowing down to around 2.5 at peak times ( tiscali class this as 5- midnight ) which im happy about as had an argument with them a few months ago as they cut me right back to 1mbit. then tried to tell me i was only on a 2 meg line. a few settings changed i was suddenly getting 3-4 and he was saying its impossible you are only on a 2 meg line. yet BT told me i could get 6.5 mmm

Congratulations sbtUK


back on topic

Wayne, you say you do a bit of Ajax ??

What do you use it for ?? It can be quite powerful so we tend to just use it on toilets and hard kitchen surfaces !




Do the guys at Top Gear have the best job ever ?? !!

I find Ajax to be unnecessary most of the time. PHP is also simpler, as for MySQL, there isn't a lot to it. It just gets on my nerves when you have to locate an error in the coding, or you write a huge command and miss the semi-colon off the end!

As for Top Gear...result!!

That's why I use: gPHPEdit

Runs your code through php-cli when you hit F9, and jumps the cursor to where the error is. Absolute magic!

Hurrah for Top Gear and hurrah for gPHPEdit!
