Thom,
Just so you know: This version removes all the hooks for Snevl BetaBrite. I know you at least used to use it with that package, so installing this instead will stop the updates to your sign(s).
I get CNN and Fox News emails alerts via email and then parse out the data.
I have to shut it down during convention times and such or add a ton of filtering.
Bin Laden being found - that's news.
A particular convention speaker - not alert worthy.
Yeah, I hear you Bill. I'm pretty turned off by all the politics right now, and all of the news stations are very little about "news" any more. All of them are biased one way or the other and - more important - only seeking some sensationalism. Conventions are by their very design no longer news. Used to be (I'm getting old) actual decisions were made at the conventions. Now it is only a show, and the news stations all oblige.
As for CNN breaking news: It goes off now every time there is a new speaker at the convention (same thing last week). I wish I could control it, but I only look to see if the "alert" is different than last time.
Ideally, I would allow people to tag stuff they don't want to hear by topic (e.g. politics) or if they want to only listen to what they already believe, they could choose the party affiliation...
Being born in Chicago, Illinois and being around in the midwest for most of my life I have lost that sense of humor as we've become the "show me" state of the bottom of the barrel scum that epitomizes what is wrong and not right versus what is right and left in political philosophies.
