At hackday

It's hackday at Alexandra Palace and the building's been struck with lightning. We've just got power and wifi back and we're back inside.

We just finished our talk in time - "Things to Make and Do with Radio and Music". It should be online soon. Our hackday box can be found here...

• The Moose 6 music discovery game


• The John Peel and Top of the Pops apps and data


• RadioPlayer data


• Incoming SMS feeds


• etc.

Have fun hacking...

BBC Audio & Music at Hackday

We're frantically getting things ready for Hackday on Saturday. We're pulling together some new apps, data and feeds from BBC Audio & Music for the weekend. I can't say too much right now but there'll be stuff to do with Top of the Pops and John Peel (interesting combination), SMS messages and also a sneak preview of one of our latest projects, code-named Moose 6. We may also have some prizes for the best radio- or music-related hack.

And our session details are now up on the Hackday backnetwork.

Things to Make and Do (with music and radio)

By Chris Bowley and Tristan Ferne

Tristan and Chris will talk about how they build things at BBC Audio & Music Interactive, give some top tips on making prototypes and reveal some new APIs and data you might want to use to hack music and radio. All done using the medium of album titles.

They'll be several of us at Hackday and we hope to see you there.
