In the Local and Travel Forecast under the Audio section, the audio files don't work when clicking on a song sends me to a new tab to play the audio file. This seems to be a problem when I'm using Chrome, in IE, there's a play button next to each song and the audio files work fine.
And it doesn't play? I just tried one song in Chrome and it played.

Hmm, well maybe I need to clear out my cache or something. I'll try that later and see if it works then.

I was never able to figure out what the problem was in Chrome, but whatever it was it's been fixed since your website update last month which I really like btw. :biggrin:

Winds have increased to 65 mph, with a pressure of 993mb. In addition, the NHC calls for Ingrid to briefly reach Category One Hurricane status before making landfall in Mexico this weekend. Ingrid would be our second hurricane so far this season if it occurs.

Could possibly become Ingrid if it has enough time over water to develop...

radar test xlv1 emulation after effects

I used Pittsburgh's radar source from the NWS as an example. In addition using Atlanta as the main radar location in my composition. The attachment below is how it turned out.

I used Color Key Difference to remove the blue radar echoes
I used the Color key to remove the black background

Beware the omen of the "I" named storms!



^This is pretty amazing, it really puts it in perspective. Ivan (2004) by far is the most interesting and wildest imo for me, especially when it did that loop off the SE coast and went right back into the Gulf hitting the Gulf Coast twice!

You know what amazes me?

I don't think I've seen a selection of music played to DEATH on this network as I have since the sudden directional change over to vocals. They just keep recycling the same 20 something songs over, and, over, and over again for the past 20 months as if these mainstream artists they're playing from are one hit wonders. I know they don't have the same open freedom to rights from these musicians as they do from indie artists from the past who were more likely open minded and embraced the exposure, but seriously you can't get rights to more than one song from these guys? :dunno:

I tune into TWC only about 5-10 mins. a day now. I don't mind the vocal music now, I just wish the variety was broader. Another thought occurred to me also, if the intent was to go vocal from the get go away from what they call quote, unquote, "elevator music" then why haven't they bothered to use vocal tracks from Smooth Jazz/Soft Rock/New Age musicians they used a lot in the past and make all the masses happy? It's kinda ironic, the group of members here (including me) years ago used to complain about the frequency of repeats when the music selection was mostly if not all instrumental, yet I think now that it's mostly vocal, the frequency of repeats is worse, a LOT worse. :lol:

[End what wasn't intentially supposed to be a rant, but by definition I guess it kinda turned into a rant?/] :P

Has anyone ever seen an error like this before? I didn't know the IS could mess up like that. :o

TWC- Local on the 8's error- Chicago Comcast cable


Yes.

Severely messed up IntelliStar - Feb. 13, 2009 - 8:58pm


Heh, I guess I lied. I actually do remember seeing that video before, but it's been so long I guess I forgot.  :P


Here's another question for anyone who can answer I have about the XLv2 (2001-2004)

On the text forecast (36 hr. forecast), what was the max amount of lines shown per daypart screen before the remainder carries over to another screen? Is it 6 or 7? I'm guessing 6, but I could be wrong. :dunno:

Ingrid coming by this weekend/next week?

Code: [Select]
1. AN AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER LOCATED OVER THE NORTHWESTERN CARIBBEAN
SEA IS MOVING WESTWARD AT ABOUT 10 MPH.  THIS DISTURBANCE IS
FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS THE YUCATAN PENINSULA AND INTO THE BAY OF
CAMPECHE BY THURSDAY...WHERE AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED
TO FORM.  UPPER-LEVEL WINDS OVER THE SOUTHERN GULF OF MEXICO SHOULD
GRADUALLY BECOME MORE CONDUCIVE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION BY THE WEEKEND.  THIS SYSTEM HAS A LOW CHANCE...10
PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48
HOURS...AND A HIGH CHANCE...60 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL
CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 5 DAYS.

She might be making a comeback folks!

Code: [Select]
1. THE ELONGATED AREA OF LOW PRESSURE...THE REMNANTS OF GABRIELLE...
LOCATED ABOUT 350 MILES SOUTH OF BERMUDA HAS BECOME BETTER DEFINED
THIS AFTERNOON. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY HAS ALSO INCREASED
TO THE EAST OF THE CENTER. WHILE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE NOT
VERY CONDUCIVE FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT...ONLY A SMALL INCREASE IN
THE ORGANIZATION OF THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS COULD LEAD TO THE
FORMATION OF A TROPICAL DEPRESSION DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO WHILE
THE LOW MOVES NORTH-NORTHEASTWARD AT 10 TO 15 MPH. THIS SYSTEM HAS
A MEDIUM CHANCE...40 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE
DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS. BEYOND ABOUT TWO TO THREE DAYS...
CONDITIONS BECOME MORE HOSTILE FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT...AND THIS
SYSTEM HAS A MEDIUM CHANCE...50 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL
CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 5 DAYS. AN AIR FORCE RESERVE RECONNAISSANCE
MISSION IS SCHEDULED TO INVESTIGATE THIS SYSTEM ON TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. INTERESTS IN BERMUDA SHOULD MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS
SYSTEM.


What the heck is it with these tropical storms this year where they keep dying and tying to come back alive. Just stay dead already! You weren't doing anything worthwhile to begin with! :P

« on: September 09, 2013, 04:14:39 PM »
Humberto is not going to pose any threat to the United States.  The only land impact from this tropical storm will just be the Cape Verde Islands.  Eventually, an upper level trough will pick it up over the middle Atlantic and send it toward Europe as an extratropical storm in about a week or two from now. 

Lastly, why are people getting caught up in this latest hurricane record for September 11 in the Atlantic basin?  It's pointless compared to the real record for least activity, which goes to 1914 when only one tropical storm formed during the entire season.  There's even another season with no hurricanes documented, which was 1907.  So, I don't understand the big deal with this September 11 record when there were actually two seasons that never had a hurricane.

A record is a record which is why it's a big deal. If the hurricane season is going to be boring and lame (for hurricane enthusiasts/storm chasers)breaking that record allows it to be lame for a reason.

Besides, it's not like this is something that happens very frequently like every other year or something. It's been 11 years since the last time this happened.
