Okay, how do you type that degree symbol?

Press and hold the Alt button (in Windows) whilst typing 0176 on the number pad...the row of numbers at top won't work.

The keystoke is Alt+0176.

I was also planning on going to my uncle's house next weekend to see what star unit he has (in Yale, MI, just a few miles NW of Port Huron), but he has Dish 

I have Dish. And I'm barely okay with it. But I want them to put some animation into the SLF.

With the discovery of the Bank Gothic font, and the circle dashes by Jonathan, I whipped up a little something that I'm working on....



I like it

Sorry for double post! However, the letter spacing in "TODAY" looks kinda freaky...but it is PERFECT other than that!

You turned that dash into complete awesomeness! Please note that more colors are coming soon...I'm working on the other colors. And there'll be decorations for big holidays.

I really wish the Satellite LF would get more graphically advanced than several seemingly-GIF images with a fade transition.

Yeah, they've been using the same one for many years. I think since 99. Not sure.

That is excluding changes to the headers and (occasionally) fonts. However, I think they just continually re-render the backgrounds and say, "Okay! Done!" and leave the building.

« on: March 27, 2009, 05:07:02 PM »

Hmm..if Comcast dropped NFLHD I don't think we'd see any effects on Dish Network.  Sorry, had to be a smart***.

Don't think I'd see any either.

I need money for my macbook. I do have some funds, though.

Progress: $10 out of $990 (that's student pricing with iWork.)
