TWC Today News / Re: TWCT/TWCC Forums Merge set on schedule for April 4th

« on: March 27, 2010, 02:01:44 PM »

I'll be sure to send Martin a final database dump on the 3rd, after I do a final "spring cleaning" of inactive members. That way new members since the last dump won't miss out.

Maybe TWCT could do that as well to the inactive members?

I've thought about it and I will look to see how many members that effects.


When we complete the merge I will create a topic so TWCC_ accounts (if they already have a TWCT account) can inform me if the want to remove the accounts. I may be able to manually update their post count on an individual basis from the old TWCC forums. I want to also let everyone know I wont be around much that week as I will be in Europe. Some changes to the forum layout/design will be made both before and after the merge. This wont all be a one or two day process

Even a few weeks after the new icons I still can't adjust to them. Suns are just too goofy for me.

this is really good for friday evenings. its a change-up from the traditional. although i would expect coverage of storms when the time comes, but for fridays when its quiet outside, the forecast sounds right with movies!

As long as the dual feed is used when the wx calls for it I am fine with it too!

WUWA Alarm App for iPhone/iPod touch. Fail.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wake-up-with-al-alarm-clock/id361759203?mt=8

I installed this to see how lame it was, and it's not too bad. What's neat is with Al or Steph's voice, Allen Jackson gives you the current conditions for your ZIP code.

Its a cheesy app but I like the quality of the audio and LOVEEEEE my TWC chime! I could do less of having Steph/Al remind me of WUWA every time the alarm repeats.

It only happens if a. the star doesn't cue correctly or b. TWC forgets or has problems raising the background bar. It would be a pain to push every single sponsor logo to the STAR.

Oh, the logos are put up manually? That must be a pain. I knew this LDL would be pushing the Intellistar's limits, I know even the blue one was sort of pushing it.

Yep thats the whole idea of the non built in part of the ldl. Otherwise each night the IS would have to receive whatever images it needs for certain days and schedules to display the logos. Probably a lot more complicated than it sounds. The way they have it now its just a simple overlay. Actually the IS is an extremely powerful system. Probably even capable of more than what its doing now.

I've never actually seen an update as it came through... so this was interesting to see.

Odd yours was so late

I thought all updates were sent to all Intellistars at the same time?

The new LDL update was sent out at 3:45 ET and was working fine at 4:00am ET for the start of First Outlook.
