Looks like the Providence, RI Weatherscan was ready for Irene 

Yeah, I noticed Baltimore's weatherscan was like this too. Too bad I never checked mine.

Seeing how the IS2 had made its debut on a Comcast system in Atlanta, any word on when it will debut in other markets yet?

The other night I was at a fundraiser where I heard You Make Me Smile by Dave Koz.

IIRC, my SA box had it, until it was upgraded to the iGuide a few months back. I also had an RCA TV with a built in guide which had the old TWC logo (along with several others).

I start college on the 31st 

Not every time a fire alarm goes off does someone pull it. They are required to have regular fire drills.

Colleges are too? I thought that law only applied to public K12 schools..

Only six years? Wow, seems like it's been longer.

I like the New Jersey accent. Does that count for something?

I'm from PA, so I have that accent.

Yeah, I've always hated how all the offices have their own layout, especially those part of the Western Region which has a strange layout compared to the other three regions (not sure why). They all should use the same format to make it easier to navigate.

TWC Today News / Re: SMF 2.0 Upgrade

« on: August 15, 2011, 06:08:10 PM »

When I access the IRC Chat from the forum, it tells me that I don't have the plugin installed. Now here's the issue: it doesn't tell me WHAT plugin to install, nor does it give me a link to install it.

I find Canadians more friendlier and courteous than Americans. I'm guessing they are more laid back, but they often say thank you or "excuse me" if you bump into them, or hello as you pass by. Then again here in NJ, hospitality is not our strong point :/

NJ doesn't have a strong point in anything. Period.

Local Forecast / Re: General LF Discussion

« on: August 15, 2011, 05:53:08 PM »

In the early years, when the wet snow is expected during the "Text-based Local Forecast", Vocal Local used to read that text that's used for wet snow, but he doesn't read that text anymore. For example "1 to 3 inches of wet snow expected".

Yeah, I've noticed several phrases that the IS doesn't narrate anymore. I've pointed these issues out to the STAR team in the past several years, but never got a response.

How are all the local offices going to be able to get the upgrade? The reason I ask is because every office has their own unique layout.
