RE: [backstage] Presenting the TVMap!
Just to confirm Graeme's spot on here, you've go up until midnight MONDAY (today) to get your entries in. if you have submitted something already don't worry - we will hold off judging until tomorrow, so feel free to spend the final day tweaking + tuning!

I just wanted to make sure -- I submitted my prototype to the web site last night, but it has not shown up on the web site -- at the bottom of the frontpage, on http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/prototypes/, or http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/prototypes/index.xml. Just to make sure it hasn't been completely eaten by your database, it's at http://desert-island.dynodns.net/~theorb/tvsched/grid.pl. Like (as I find out now) several other entries, it's about similarity, but it tries to do it within a useful and intuitive interface, and give you immediately useful information -- like a simple intuitive rating of how much it expects you to like (or dislike) the program. (Yes, I did use the word intuitive twice. And I spelt program with one 'm' and no 'e'.) It, of course, could use some tweaks to the algorithm, and lots of optimization -- it's just a prototype, after all. -=- James Mastros PS -- In a couple days, after winners are announced, we should probably all have an on-list discussion about what we'd like to happen with the format -- additional information that would be useful, and where to put it. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

I just wanted to make sure -- I submitted my prototype to the web site last night, but it has not shown up on the web site -- at the bottom of the frontpage, on http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/prototypes/, or http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/prototypes/index.xml. Mine's not showed up either, so I think they're all being held for one big post of look at all the cool entries we got :) Managed to tweak my TV Map considerably this evening, and got it uploaded just before the deadline - it's got multiple days of data now, RSS subscriptions, and decent location data for the US. Incidentally - if anyone needs some fairly clean GNIS data for major world towns and cities, let me know and I'll send you the files over once I've sorted out the final few bugs! -- Tom Scott www.thomasscott.net - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
