Hi there,
I'm a newbie to the list but have used backstage for a while to power
an artwork called decorative newsfeeds:

Here's the deal though. I am exhibiting it in New York State at the
moment and it ran for a few days then was blocked.
As far a I can tell friends in Chicago, San Francisco and New York
couldn't see it either unless they looked 'in browser and at our
server' which made me think it wasn't an individual block --the piece
certainly makes no more demands on bbc rss than any news ticker would.
I switched to 'world_edition' after speaking with someone at BBC but
still no joy. In the end I had to set up a proxy and forward the
news to the installation via our webserver in UK
I was wondering though if anyone had a reasonable explanation for why
they should be blocked in the states? Even 'world_edition' it would
seem. It happens also to be running in Sweden now just fine too.
Idle curiosity really but thanks in advance,
best wishes,
Jon Thomson

You obviously fixed it. I then left as every hour was too annoying.
Can I get an update when I want ... e.g I want every 3 hours between
7am and 12am...
Just a thought. Other than that, quite okay, it started working the
last few days.
Indeed, works fine(ish) here too, but hourly is a bit much ;)
