General Discussion / Re: The Pot Belly Stove

« on: January 20, 2011, 05:14:08 PM »

Back in 2006 or so (right around or before the time I began high school), Haslett added 1 minute onto each hour, so the school day goes from 7:50 to 2:23, instead of 7:50 to 2:17. It used to be that there were only 51 minutes in each "hour", but it has been increased to 56. This is one reason why the middle school didn't have to make up a missed day when it was vandalized a couple years ago.

My school day is 15 minutes longer than yours. (7:55-2:43)

Do NBC and FOX have some sort of joint or agreement? I see promos about my local Detroit FOX station often on TWC.

If conditions continue to remain similar to these past 2 months, I may not recieve any major snows this season.

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Charter... gone for good?

« on: January 20, 2011, 05:04:09 PM »

Charter's old slogan used to be "Brings your home to life"

To be honest, I liked that one better... but this one really isn't that bad. Charter apparently has its own youtube channel, so they are definitely trying to make good public relations. Does anyone know if they have a facebook fan page?

I have to say it's kind of deceptive for them to be advertising that they have so many HD channels, and yet they really don't. No Charter area that I know of has TWC in HD... but I also find it hard to believe that no one who has Charter has TWC HD.

Yes, I did like the older slogan better, as well.

Charter has there own fan page on FB, type in on the search bar: Charter Communications. You should then be able to click on the page.

I know that when I typed in Munising, MI's zip code on TWC HD viewerlink that it said Charter carries TWC HD. That's hard to believe because Munising is a sparcely populated town up in XL country. Also, I believe Charter carries TWCHD in some southern/western headends.

My cable box TV Guide with Charter only goes out 48 hours or so, so I can't see anything that far in advance.

I hope it's something like the first video wall, not just some 70" flat screen, touch screen television like Al's in NYC.

Could they be using the pre-2008 green wall? Well, if it's still there.

I have seen observation site locations that are up to 100 miles from a headend, but never a made up city.

TWC Fan Art / Re: plane852's Emulations

« on: January 19, 2011, 02:27:31 PM »

Well, here it is.

Intellistar 2 Emulator

A few things to note:
- The standard copyright disclaimer, the song is "Eminence Front" by The Who, and the song writes are owned by The Who, WMG, and UMG.
- Once again, title bars belong to wxgatlin.
- The flavor idea came from Mike M, who started the "Your Custom Intellistar Flavor" thread. This is his :08/:38 2-minute flavor.
- Yes, I know the video goes for 2:30. The reason is that there are so many animations going on at once. The local radar constantly running in the corner, 9 or 10 gifs working at once, and the transitioning data on the left side of the screen. I'm surprised the emulator doesn't crash with everything that's going on.
- Despite the fact that there is a Winter Storm Watch in effect, there is no advisory slide. That's coming in Version 1.1.

Since my emulations are now strictly Intellistar 2, the thread has been appropriately renamed.

Wow, good work!
