* Anistorm is lost. 

* Anistorm is moving on.

I've never thought that my final graphic design project would be so dang hard. I emailed my partner and so far, no reply. She's probably on vacay. I got a website going. So far I'm working on the animated GIF.

I could really use a break right now.  The best part is that I still have plenty of time to get 50% of it done by wednesday.

Just the usual Ana Wow I hope you knock it out soon and get some rest! What are you using to make your gifs?

Hopefully it's gone for good, but I'm not too hopeful. Right now my guide is showing "Riding Giants" airing next Friday. Apparently it's some 2004 documentary about the evolution of surfing. Sounds riveting.

Guess we are going back into the old random shows in the NBC library like that Atlantis thing.

Everything Else TWC / Re: General TWC Discussion

Just a heads up...Hurricane Week airs the week of June 7th, and they'll be running two hours of long form in a row every weeknight. This leaves 7 PM ET, 10 PM ET, and 1 AM ET as the only live hours of Weather Center all that week.

That doesn't surprise me one that it's coming two weeks earlier than last week seeing how predictions are going for an above average season.

They didn't want to coincide with a lot of the Vortex2 stuff last year I think

They have to have SOME way to get to Twitter, as some (all, now?) offices allow Twitter to be used for weather reporting.

http://www.weather.gov/stormreports/ Its only experimental now. They aren't blocking them from actually looking at twitter but posting under their NWS positon

Local Forecast / Re: New Intellistar version?

« on: May 29, 2010, 12:31:20 PM »

Well, I will be getting a little off topic on the font part, but I personally think that they can redesign the LF to correspond with the new LDL bar. I wouldn't have any problems with a graphic set upgrade, but the current version is fine. I'd just like to see them push the units hardware even more, and I know it is possible. I would say, however, I do not like the header which is white over white (Or if my mind is in a cruise right now) black over white is fine. The contrast levels with the white and white/light blue hurts my eyes.

It actually is being pushed quite a bit at the moment. I do wish the ldl matched the on air designs more than anything  really. It still is a strange match with graphics packages varying widely over each product.

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Bright House to drop TWC?

« on: May 28, 2010, 10:06:17 PM »

IDK, with the way Paul Douglas has already stated through his blog(s) that he is "having discussions with other media companies" in his post mortem (http://tinyurl.com/33vk4wr) you would think that numerous other companies are going to at least bring their discussions with TWChannel out in the open and either force them into a deal and/or bring back TWCast (and yes, I think both channels could coexist -- look at how many freaking news and business channels we have!)

That's just my thought process.

TWC has a very limited focus as opposed to news channels. I don't think there could be any successful and profitable alternative Weather Channel considering TWC has had decades to build complex content delivery methods and  experience

Oh.....what would it actually be like then?

They are going to use spot beaming for WeatherScan units to different areas I imagine

Does anyone really think any cable or satellite network would actually drop TWC? Its all a show to get attention.
