General Discussion / Re: The Front Porch

« on: July 18, 2013, 08:19:15 PM »

I spent most of the day rebuilding my STAR database on a new host provider, because my old host provider, Yola, caught me using 7 pages (which is over the 3-page limit for free users) so I was forbidden to publish any more unless I pay and upgrade to remove the page limit. I seriously did not want to have to start all over again on a new host provider, but Yola pushed me over the edge 

So, I switched to another host provider, Webs.com, where I spent most of today rebuilding the database. Luckily, I had the submissions backed up on my computer, so it made the job a little easier 

Here is a link to the new STAR database:

If you guys spot any typos and/or errors on the new site, let me know    Otherwise, enjoy the new database.

I like the concept (and the design of your signature btw)

Thanks Tavores!    That neon-sign design in my signature was made in Adobe Photoshop CS5, along with most of the artwork that I posted in this topic.

Groceries for $119 and a little over 11 gallons of regular unleaded gasoline for $40.00.

Roku HD video streaming player. I can watch yt videos right on my tv now

roku doesnt have a native youtube app though but there are apps for ios that can allow you to watch youtube videos on your roku

yes I know, wish I had know before purchasing it but all YT clips are viewable by the my video buzz channel

I used to have VideoBuzz on my Roku, but back in April, Roku forced VB to shut down its channel

DailyMotion has an official Roku channel if you want to add that to your Roku.

Local Forecast / Re: General LF Discussion

« on: July 04, 2013, 05:38:15 PM »

What on earth is this? A new type of satellite LF? Don't they use these graphics during Day Planner? OMG WTF IS THIS? NEW LOCAL FORECAST?!

That was my reaction when I first saw these new graphics a couple of months ago    Later on, I found out that the graphics were part of the EF.
