The Front Porch

School started today. To be honest, I wasn't happy to go back. But I guess I'll have to deal with it.

Yesterday our NBC affiliate WXIA-TV debuted a new weather product called the "W.I.Z" (Weather Information Zone) where viewers can rate the weather and other stuff online or on their phones. They ran promos for weeks that were saying, "Soon, Your Days Will Be Numbered." Did any other NBC affiliates associated w/ Gannett get some kind of product like this? 

WXIA-TV Debuts the WIZ (Weather Information Zone) 9.7.10

Reminds me of Tor:Con in a way.  I don't like it.  I'd prefer just giving weather information.  I don't care how the meteorologist would rate the weather on a particular day.  It seemslike they put more emphasis on the "Wizometer" number than the actual weather forecast.

The name kills me, WIZ-o-meter

I don't like it for the same reasons either. While I was recording it all I could think about was"Are you gonna bother talking about any other day besides you giving Wednesday an 8?"

My first day went by very well.

My first day went by very well.

Well, I came home very grumpy, and I am trying hard not to spread my anger over here.

Got to be one of the dumbest things I have seen in a long time. TWC did something like that but they didn't promo it to death like this. Please get the name of whoever does their graphics and fire them. It looks like powerpoint!

Tornado sirens currently going off in my area for a strong cell to the east. I don't think the tornado will affect where I live, but I hope this blows over soon.

You should have seen the promos they were airing, it was overkill. I should have known better than to expect this to be more than decent, this is the same affiliate that only has Cheryl Lemke as a "fill in" which irks me because I haven't seen her on air since July, it's starting to feel like the whole Dave being replaced at our CBS affiliate (another station I don't like) all over again.

I wouldn't be too worried, from what I've seen, most tornadoes from tropical storm remains are weak and/or don't touchdown for very long than a couple of minutes.

Those who use GRLevel3, could somebody show me a tutorial on how to add a banner to the radar imagery like what I have seen on some people's posts? They can just PM it to me if they don't want to post it here. Thanks.

Name the file logo.png and place it into the C:\Program Files\GRLevelX\GRLevel3 directory

Ordered a new Dell desktop today. This will be the first desktop I have gotten in 8 years that I will use as an actual computer. Ive gotten a couple cheap towers in the past for servers.  I can't believe they now have 6 core CPUs!! 12 threads! I remember when the PentiumII was super awesome.

Studio XPS 9000
1   317-4541   Intel Core i7 980 Extreme (3.33GHz, 12MB Cache)
1   317-0080   12GB DDR3 SDRAM at 1066MHz
1   320-1292   ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB GDDR5
1   341-8519   1TB Serial ATA 2 Hard Drive 7200 RPM

Needlessly overpowered unless you're a gamer, even then, still needlessly overpowered unless you turn it in to a server....
