QuoteEngine
This page allows you to work with part of a system I created for the group project during my Masters course. The project required us to create a blog hosting service that allowed users to integrate as much of their digital life as possible. From the specification of the project:
Blog hosting & linking.
Allow people to publish personal weblogs, and link them to elements of their "digital life": photos, movies, music, e-books. etc.
Facilitate inter-connecting of people through their blog entries or any of the linked media.
As part of this system, I created the QuoteEngine - a tool that could return a random quote from a specified movie, song, music artist or album. Movie quotes were taken from Amazon using their web service, and the song lyrics came from a variety of different lyrics websites, depending on what I could get to work! Basically any site I tried to use would buckle under the number of requests required to retrieve a single lyrics page.
Since the retrieval of song lyrics proved to be quite difficult to do, I've removed it from this implementation. The form below allows you to get a random quote from any film. Note that it currently uses a fairly primitive form of matching between the keywords given and the top 10 films on Amazon for those keywords. I've also added a Clean option, so quotes with swearing will not be shown if you wish.
Select from the options on the left of the screen to try out QuoteEngine, or to set up a profile for automatic quote retrieval.
