Hello Backstage, Yet another lurker! I noticed on the ideas blog yesterday that Ian Forrester had suggested using SVG or similar to recreate the old BBC School clocks. His original post is here http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/ideas/archives/2007/01/bbc_clocks_as_a.html I haven't managed the school clocks yet, but I have managed to recreate three of the old BBC 1 clocks, as used at junctions going into the news. It's my first experiment with mixing SVG+Javascript, so be gentle! http://www.domsmith.co.uk/bbc_clocks/ (Obviously only works in browsers with SVG support, such as Firefox - sorry IE users) Best wishes, Dominic. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

RE: [backstage] BBC Clocks in SVG
I thought I was weird rescuing a magazine index I did from an Archimedes disk! http://ukfree.tv/pcw/pcwindex.htm I had to rescue the original FLA file from a Zip100 disk that I've been keeping safe in my desk drawer for about six years... Ah, BBC archiving at its finest :-) Hey, don't knock it. :-) I once rescued a record of the output of the old drama plays department. It had been originally kept on index cards by a lady called Margaret, then converted into a dos database sometime in the late 80s. By the time a retired producer sent it back to me, the springy bit on the floppy disk had broken. I mended the floppy, extracted the data from the defunct file format and converted it all into a useful excel format by hand. Quite possibly the only record of some of this stuff (like, budgets, Production manager credits, etc) that was kept, going right back to 1966... We work in an ephemeral industry. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group. To unsubscribe, please visit http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/archives/2005/01/mailing_list.html.
