Questions, Comments, Suggestions / Wiki?

« on: March 01, 2009, 05:08:30 PM »

I've been a wiki user since ~2005, and my brain just had a beautiful child.

The TWC Today Wiki.

A lot of people will likely be resistant to this because anyone can edit a wiki. Not always. If you change a quick few lines of code, you can restrict editing like (*snaps*) that.

I think it'd be worth a try on a different, unrelated site for now and then exporting it here if it works. I have MediaWiki in mind (I'm an expert at setting it up), but does anyone have any other wiki software ideas?

Thanks! I'll see if I can use a free subdomain to get started.

General Discussion / Question

« on: February 21, 2009, 01:30:36 PM »

I'm thinking of starting a webcast.

Here's my shopping list:

• Flip Mino (HD?)

Should I hold off on the HD-ness for a while? I also need to find a co-host, but I have an idea.

General Discussion / What kind of MP3 player do you use?

« on: February 16, 2009, 09:23:56 PM »

I kind of want to know what kind of MP3 players we use. I think it'd be interesting to find out how we listen to our music.

Mine: silver 8GB iPod nano 4th Gen.

General Discussion / Question...

« on: February 14, 2009, 09:29:20 PM »

Is there any service that displays ads for open-source programs only and/or does not pay you when someone clicks on the ad?

I'm opening up my new blog at http://sevoa.xtreemhost.com/wordpress and I don't want to be paid when you all click.

Thanks all!

General Discussion / Google Earth 5!

« on: February 02, 2009, 03:07:36 PM »

Not so long ago (as in minutes), Google FINALLY released Google Earth 5.

I'm liking it so far because...

• it has historical imagery,
• you can DIVE into the ocean,
• you can go to Mars, and
• there's new effects for bubbles and placemarks

It's just cool, 'mkay? Try it out!

The Game Room / Name that OCM!

« on: January 30, 2009, 06:04:06 PM »

Here's how this game goes.
Someone (the "asker") gives ONE hint about an OCM. Then someone guesses. If the guess is incorrect, the asker gives another hint. This continues until a person guesses correctly. Then. that person gives a hint, and the process repeats.

DO NOT USE PRIVATE INFORMATION AS A HINT!
I'll start with: Short hair.

General Discussion / Hey everyone...

« on: January 30, 2009, 04:54:09 PM »

The actual introduction board seemed just too dead for me to introduce myself, and I noticed this one's description DID say I could introduce myself here if I wished.

My name's Jonathan, and I absolutely love weather. I liki replicating TV network graphics (or seeing how close I can get). I like creating graphics for people, and you can use all of my graphics as much as you want, just please credit me, if you can!

If you want a custom sig made using my L3rd's graphics or any other set, just PM me and I'd be more than happy to help you out.

Thanks for checking in and I hope to see you around!
