[backstage] gTraffic.info v2.1 with integrated GWT Simile Timeline
I have finally integrated the Simile timeline into www.gTraffic.info. Select a traffic region and a timeline tab will appear. The timeline tab displays road traffic events in temporal relation to each other and the time now (represented by a vertical blue line). The events are also colour coded for severity. Clicking on the severity icon on the info bubble will flip to the corresponding marker on the map. Now I just need to figure out how to flip from the map to the timeline! This uses a GWT wrapper I wrote for the timeline here: http://code.google.com/p/gwtsimiletimeline/ I first saw this control here on the backstage mailing list which only proves this is a interesting place to hang out.

[backstage] Location IDs for weather feed
Hello all, Does anyone know if there is a location to loction id conversation table available for the weather feed? For example, if I knew the location was Edinburgh, a look up would tell me that the location ID was 1808 - from which I could pull the weather feed. I suppose that since there are only 7379 feeds I could parse through them and try to pull the data out, but I'm guessing the bbc wouldn't be particularly thrilled with me doing this. Many thanks, Allan
