News and Updates / Re: Traffic Reports
« on: May 15, 2014, 08:22:51 AM »
Hello..
The program has had slow development since its latest release, as for the most part, it is working properly. Traffic conditions, however, are not. Several years ago, I was able to provide traffic conditions via Yahoo's RSS feed, which only needed your ZIP code for local reports. Since they retired that product, I have not been able to find anything similar.
To change the 'Sponsor Logo', go to this folder: C:\wsxl\main .. There is a file 'sponsorlogo.png', either edit this file, or use the sample logo provided in the same directory as well. This file must be edited with a program that can handle the transparency layer (like Photoshop).

Questions, Comments, Suggestions / Re: Weatherscan Emu. info not authorized yet?
« on: April 27, 2014, 09:34:42 PM »I could be wrong, but I think all the emulator projects here are long dead.
Hm. Didn't know that. That's sad
The emulator project is not dead.. The emulator backend is still running. However I have noticed a decline of interest from users who wanted to use it, therefore I turned off signups for a period of time. Since I am starting to see some interest brewing as of late, I re-enabled the ability to sign up and use it.

Incase anyone wants to watch an interview with the founder of TWC, John Coleman who describes the premise the channel was created, being laughed at by investors, and how he sees the channel has drifted away from its original mission statement, in whole to whats happening today with it.

I find it kinda funny that TWC has been showing live programming all weekend. If they did this more often, I would be a regular viewer!

« on: January 11, 2014, 05:54:48 PM »If TWC doesn't want DirecTV to drop them, then they need to change. Extend LOT8s to 2 minutes, bring back smooth jazz, restore hours cut for longform, etc.
The fact the execs are whining over competition is pitiful. We will see how this will go but they will probably come up with something last minute. DirecTV however will lose a large number of subscribers if this does go out as planned.
I agree with what you say. TWC needs to go back to their original mission and provide detailed weather information on YOUR schedule. Just watch what they described the day of their launch, back in 1982:
