RE: [backstage] BBC parliment
None of which ever used video of MPs and Lords at work. It would be interesting to know how much (if at all) the people behind The Daily Show (other than John Oliver) were influenced by Not The Nine O'Clock News et al. - were they even shown in the US? Don't know about the original, but the format was adapted by HBO under the name, Not Necessarily the News. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_Necessarily_the_News Notably a home to Rich Hall - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

[backstage] Art gallery catalogue API
Hi all, Not entirely on-topic but i figured someone on here might be able to help - does anyone happen to know of any art galleries or collections that have an API or feeds of their catalogue available? I'm about to start a project that requires a load of data about paintings and other artworks, and it'd be nice not to have to do too much screen-scraping... Cheers! Tim
Re: [backstage] University Tour update
*Hull* Friday were up in Hull University but the Scarborough Campus. We're talking after lunch and we're trying to arrange something for Friday night. Could you be a bit more specific about where and when for Scarborough? I might head over on the train from York... -- Tom Scott - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

Re: [backstage] Art gallery catalogue API
Hi, Don't know if you've stumbled into Gallery2 yet, but that's probably worth awhile investigating - probably the biggest open source gallery. http://gallery.menalto.com - homepage http://gallery.menalto.com/node/21661 - mentions RSS feeds.

Re: [backstage] Art gallery catalogue API
Aah... ok.. I think you might have misunderstood my question - I'm actually looking for some sort of API that'll allow me to search the collections of real-life art galleries (the tate, national gallery, guggenheim, etc), rather than an online gallery application. Thanks anyway!

[backstage] Fwd: New Sports/TV API (find upsets, no hitters through 7, etc.)
Thought this might interest folks here - it's a US site covering North American sport, but the concept is interesting. Peter -- Forwarded message -- From: Mark Phillip [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 12-Mar-2007 16:26 Subject: [mythtv-users] New Sports/TV API (find upsets, no hitters through 7, etc.) To: mythtv-users@mythtv.org Hey folks, my name is Mark and I'm running a site that Myth sports fans might find really interesting. I'm writing you folks because a plugin powered by our API would enable some really interesting functionality like: - Automatically start recording any game on my TV that goes into double overtime - Game score and time left directly in the program guide - Get alerts when an exciting game is happening on another channel The site is called areyouwatchingthis.com, and at its core is an engine that scours a sports feed hunting for the next instant classic in the making. By analyzing the score, the sport, the teams involved, and a bunch of other variables, it can rate a game and let you know if it's worth watching or not. In essence, it'll make sure you're not the loser at work the next day that missed the triple OT buzzer-beater cause you were doing laundry or something equally as lame. And best of all the XML-based API interaction is dead simple--you pass in a callsign (ESPN, SPEED, WCBS), and it passes back the game currently on that channel, the score, headline for the game preview news story, and among other things, a rating of how exciting the game is. I think for sports fans and non-sports fans alike, having a quick way to see if a game is really exciting or a complete blowout, would be really useful. The API is complete and powering items like a Firefox Addon and other widgets (areyouwatchingthis.com/widgets), but the API isn't released yet because I'm tweaking it as I come up with new features, and I'm willing to continue to add to it if it will make the integration with MythTV tighter. If anyone is interested, let me know and I can send you more information.
