The "Mad Scientist" blog!


This is a "mad scientist" blog in that I collect speculations, inventions and wonky, weird and other ideas that come to mind. I like to think that all of them are out or even far out but on the possible side of it.

They are mostly my own creation but you are invited to submit some yourself if you own them or are your originals. On the same token please note that all content and in particular original ideas are copyright by their respective authors.

If you like it, comment; you don't like it then comment too. But keep it professional.

IDEA: Improve tv online program guide using labelling

Hi,
over the last view months I have grown to like "labelling" as a technique to organise bookmarks, mails, documents .. anything. Labelling does create your own dictionary of your world. After some trial and error an intuitive style of categorising items develops that can improve access to related data significantly.

Hence i wish that this facility would be available on my BBC, Virgin, Tiscali, Sky or other programming guide. Rather than being stuck with Sci-fi, Drama and News I am really keen on my own qualification. Such as science, local news, entertainment or even specific shows.

Hopefully, there will be many new programs available in the future. Hence an automatic labelling and learning may be needed as companion that evaluates perhaps the producer, actors or titles to add chosen labels automatically.
