Maybe a carefully worded email to the publishers or editors from a long term reader and gig-goer.....<BR/><BR/>As for all the bold-for-bands stuff, you could just grab all the words beginning with Uppercase, since you are pretty fastidious with your typing. Then just use a filter list to drop out 'The' and 'This', etc. Or just make a 'band' XML tag and use that when you enter each band name. Not very high-tech or code heavy, but fast-ish :)<BR/><BR/>D.David Brennan + Anne Swarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804712390642444022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5744542644973088018.post-27314971143575647782008-05-13T13:18:00.000+10:002008-05-13T13:18:00.000+10:00If you only connect to your last.fm profile, you m...If you only connect to your last.fm profile, you may miss new bands that are not in your profile. What about interfacing with http://www.freedb.org/? By using both freedb and last.fm you could even color-code band names (bands I like, bands my friends like but not me, etc.).<BR/>Julien.Julienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00981068637782241298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5744542644973088018.post-28718253089102192772008-05-13T11:19:00.000+10:002008-05-13T11:19:00.000+10:00It's funny you mention that!

As I was writing the post, I was thinking about what kind of natural language processing techniques I could use to extract band names out of the text. My first idea was to highlight any words that didn't spell-check, but that would be open to a lot of unwanted hits and misses.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I could search for terms from my <A HREF="http://www.last.fm/user/krisdomagala/" REL="nofollow">LastFM</A> profile (including recommended artists) and bold those. That way, not only would those bands that I'm interested in be highlighted, but those that I am not into will stay in the background. Hmm, could be on to something here...Kristian Domagalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01334114225292145389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5744542644973088018.post-84178910823168472052008-05-13T10:08:00.000+10:002008-05-13T10:08:00.000+10:00Hi Kris,If the website follows down the same route...Hi Kris,<BR/><BR/>If the website follows down the same route as the physical paper, I'm sure you'll come up with the right greasemonkey script to put the boldface back in :-)<BR/><BR/>Julien.Julienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00981068637782241298noreply@blogger.com
