TV

This is what it will do.

Every day, it will download and process the information for every TV channel I recieve, using XML-TV and store it in a website. It would then display this information and allow you to select items that you want to watch. So far, so normal.

Every five minutes, a cron job runs that checks to see if anything that anyone has registered as wanted to watch is going to start in the next five minutes. If so, it will send an email, or IM, or SMS to the person/s who requested such.

This will stop me missing Jonathan Creek and Walking With Cavemen every bloody time.

    Is Jonathan Creek on?

    Damn!

    Are they new ones or just the old ones with the alien and whatnot?

    What alien? You’re thinking of Mork and Mindy.

    Anyway JC finished a couple of weeks ago, mid-season it seemed to me. Maybe it will come back.

    The frozen alien, where Jonathon is enlisted by the US military.

    Good episode :)

    Note that I did not mention the word “frozen” so as to not totally give it away ;-) It was good, though. I’m amazed that the writer can keep coming up with these mental solutions…
