is anyone decent at coding but lacking ideas willing to take requests?
the things i want to see but lack the knowledge and patience to implement really fry my brain! anyway...
idea for what i THINK would be an easy to make; yet suitably sci-fi quasi-futuristic for competition. you've probably seen something similair in a film or two but i dont think it has been done for real yet. - a customisable news/weather alarm clock, you wake up in the morning to the sound of "good morning john/dave/steve/sandra, the weather today will be sunny/cloudy/wet with highs of 32 and lows of 15, the headlines are nokia takes over world, steve jobs commits suicide, first colony on mars goes ahead, pr1.2 released." perhaps a joke or saying of the day, horoscope, yadda yadda yadda...
really its just a speech synthesiser that retrieves data from websites, can check half an hour before alarm is set to go off, play alarm music for 10 seconds before news, then resume music afterwards.
i wish i had the know how to patch this together, but it would be really nice to see someone implement it.
