> Old media is indeed dying. I can't speak for Autralian media, but "old" media like the New York Times and the Washington Post in the US seem to still do well for themselves. Many big investigative pieces still come from newspapers, as

I don't think that the problem is figuring out Windows 8 (something that anyone could do given enough time), but, rather, the real problem is unwillingness to buy. Having heard from friends and the media that Windows 8 is radically differen

Twitter, too, has twelve categories of email to opt yourself out of, although I don't believe that you're not automatically opted in to all of them (I unsubscribed long ago, so I can't be sure).

I might open source the frontend, but the code responsible for summary generation probably won't be released any time soon.

You have a point about logos, and I'll remove them if someone complains. The rest, though, I believe is unique enough (and I do disclaim affiliation/endorsement at the bottom). Ultimately, this is a continuation of a school project, so I'll

It is subtle, and I don't know how to improve on it other than highlighting, which involves changes I don't want to make with the site live on a Sunday afternoon.

by dpearson 14y ago
If you're asking about the backend (and how the summaries are generated), probably not, at least for now. The frontend, on the other hand, doesn't have much to it.

The winner/leader has their logo shown above the team that's trailing, although I will add some highlighting of the final score.

by dpearson 14y ago
I think I'd rather go with Skywing's suggestion of highlighting the scores rather than placing them next to the logos, although coloring player names (despite the same problems as highlighting scores) is something I should do. As for hockey

Video highlights as a link out would be possible (although I certainly couldn't embed them). Maybe I'll add a highlights link on mouse over, so as to keep it relatively uncluttered.

I forgot about possession when I was building this, but I will be adding it before next week's games.

by dpearson 14y ago
Not a bad idea...it might be a tad tricky to implement though given that my backend spits out summaries as plain text. I'll try to implement it later.

I don't have any particular reason for not using jQuery; I'm just not a huge fan.

The raw game data comes from a scraper I wrote, but the summaries are generated by the same backend that I use for @NFLScoreBot and friends.

I've not done enough work with Python specifically to be able to recommend any projects; sorry. As for iTunes U, it's all recorded college courses (some with exercises and the like, others without); some are better than others (both in term

Don't worry too much about whether or not the sources are "respected by professionals." Rather, you should focus on whether or not the information is good. If you're interested in theory, I would point to iTunes U; I've been impressed with

I'm a little surprised that their solution for installation is to replace Android. I would think dual-booting would be easier to get developers to commit their own devices for testing. Is dual-booting not possible/really difficult on the Ne
