Looks like TWC finally got rid of the random jokes on the IS welcome screen as of today.



Anybody else seeing "This is your weather" on their IS?

Is there a weather alert in effect for your area? If so, that's what you'll see instead of a joke.

Not under any weather alert at the moment.    This is the only text that was shown on all the LFs as of this morning.

45º Partly Cloudy

My area's under a High Wind Warning (from 1PM PT today until 10AM PT tomorrow morning) as well as a Flood Watch (also until 10AM PT tomorrow morning) due to a system that will move in from the coast later today which is expected to bring heavy rainfall and strong winds to the coastline.

I'm fairly certain that I've made a full recovery from my common cold now that my coughing has become less severe and less frequent imp.

Hot tub or sauna?

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Comcast to buy Time Warner Cable

Ridiculous!    I also hope the FCC says no on this bid.

Imagine the day when Comcast buys all of its competitors and becomes the only cable TV/internet/phone provider in the country.      I certainly hope that doesn't become a reality.

Figured I should bump this topic because it's February 12th again and I'd like to wish our friend Patrick (phw115wvwx) a very happy birthday today. Hope it's a good one!

47º Light Rain and Windy

Won't be easy falling asleep when there's rain and strong winds pounding against the outside walls of my house.

I thought TWC's DirecTV commercial parody was funny. I laughed when I watched it on the channel earlier today.

Local Forecast / Re: Weather STAR XL Replaced

« on: February 08, 2014, 12:36:52 PM »

That looks very interesting!

Maybe this is the unit that Tony from the TWC STAR team was talking about when he mentioned back in July about all of the XLs and the other legacy STAR units (4000s and Juniors) being replaced with new and better units. I could be wrong though.

Testing, testing...



All of the above info is fake.

I've been working on new graphics for my emulator. These graphics are almost identical to the 2010-2013 IntelliSTAR graphics. I hope to have my graphically-updated emulator finished real soon, but I still have a ways to go before I'm done.

Programming and Graphics / Re: New show coming soon to TWC: Coast Guard Northwest

« on: February 04, 2014, 02:09:47 PM »

Bump

The new show, "Coast Guard Cape Disappointment", premieres this Sunday at 10PM ET, according to the commercials that have been airing on TWC recently.

Normally I loathe all long-form programming on TWC, but I'll actually be watching this show since it will involve my area. There was a surf rescue drill in my area last May, and a TWC film crew was there to film it for the new show. I also went to check out the drill and took some video of my own. Some of you have probably seen my video already, but if not, here it is:

Surf Rescue Drill- Pacific County, Washington- May 13, 2013

I hope that the new Coast Guard show will be interesting.

It's supposed to get cold around here later this week. So far the lowest temp is forecast to be 17º.
