Everything Else TWC / Re: General TWC Discussion

« on: March 27, 2013, 07:02:17 PM »

To everyone in the Forums

I apologize for my posts and I'm deeply sorry for the way i acted today, i had a really bad day (something personal happened pm me if you want) and shouldn't have posted anything until i felt better.

Hopefully everyone here accepts my apology and i look forward to posting more relevant insights instead of the complaints in the past

-Alex

Did anyone hear about what happened on WCL?

In case you were just watching and heard the CRASH, and me asking if Paul was OK on air >>>> he's fine, but a chair got away and rolled off the set! lol!

I don't think my eyes are playing tricks on me, TWC liked a post about a fan hating the vocal music on the 8's

Alex, your posts about the vocal music are starting to become rather repetitive.  I think you need to move on to other points.  TWC has already made up their mind on what they will do, and constantly talking about it won't help matters.

Patrick, I'm not the only member that is not watching TWC anymore because of their vocal music, and most of my post haven't been repetitive they have been showing all sorts of reasons their current direction stinks.

if you don't like the way i post I'm sorry but my views are my own and you don't have to agree with them.

now back on topic here's what Grist had to say about Hacking the Planet

The XL for my area has been looping the LF for about 10 min now. Kinda neat, even though there is no audio.

Please tell me your recording this! 

I didn't catch it the first time. I was having issues with the tuner , but I did catch it the second time that it did it. I caught a 15 min clip. I am adding some music to it so it won't be so boring and I should have the clip uploaded in about 20 min

Here it is!
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/sLTgJdwVoZU" target="_blank" class="new_win">http://www.youtube.com/v/sLTgJdwVoZU</a>

Awesome clip, thanks for uploading this!

i wish the IntelliStar could do that even if it was in my area.

Whoa, not so fast. They included all of the songs from the January playlist since that playlist was running for a little over a week in February. Get rid of all the January songs in that list and we'll have a more accurate list.

You can repost the playlist if you want

Interesting, looks like comcast is finally picking up the IS2s

Sadly Xfinity customers in Massachusetts can't enjoy the IS2 anytime soon, only then i would watch TWC again.

My Saturday

I go to Best Buy and get my HP Pavilion DV6700 laptop looked at because it started up with a buzzing sound and popped up with a black screen saying "Operating System Not Found." I come to find out that the laptop's hard drive has failed and has to be replaced. So i buy the new HD which was $53 dollars and i was told by Geek Squad to contact HP to purchase Windows Vista recovery disks from them.

After leaving Best Buy i come home and call HP and give them my computer's S/N and P/N to see if they have the disks, come to find out they don't manufacture them anymore. So now i call Geek Squad again and told them what HP said and they told me to Purchase Win 7 which i look online and find out that it isn't compatible with my computer.

Finally i call back Geek Squad and tell them about the Incompatibility and they said to bring back the receipt and hard drive to be fully reimbursed for the purchase.

Lucky my parents will let me use their laptop and Desktop for the time being, now after having the laptop since 2008 become incompatible with Win 7 it looks like even if i started watching TWC again in the future when the IS2 comes to Massachusetts i won't have a compatible computer for my Hauppauge HVR-950Q to upload video clips to youtube anymore.
