I’m relieved not to be a computer programmer anymore. You quickly get tired of, “Oh, you’re a computer programmer? Perfect! — you can tell me how to fix my modem/get rid of these pop-ups/get Windows to recognize my scanner/et cetera.” Um, no. No, I probably can’t. This is worse than asking a doctor at a party why your feet hurt. This is like asking a dentist at a party why your feet hurt.

Whatson is a series of scripts used to view and manage tv listings. Data is downloaded via XMLTV and is placed into a MySQL database, then PHP scripts are viewed through a web browser to display and manage the listings.
For support, mail me.

Update: Released version 1.0.1, fixes problem where the grid view wouldn’t work unless at least one channel was ignored. Reported by Brian Lomasky. Thanks, Brian!
