I'm glad and hope all of you had a nice Thanksgiving. Despite the drastic temperature swing here, yesterday was a good day. When you're making the feast and watching football all day, the weather outside doesn't really matter.

And Ana, that Thanksgiving graphic you posted is hypnotizing me, and I don't know why.

Tuesdays Forecast for the southeast US.

Although they're kind of hard to see, I really like the city-name labels! Maybe make them a little brighter to stand out and catch your attention more.

I haven't seen her enough to fully judge her, but I don't like how Crystal Egger does the earlier hour of WC. This is obviously a popularly-watched segment, and maybe she does a fantastic job, but IMO, one of the more "experienced" OCMs should take her place. For example, bring Paul back to the earlier hour...I miss seeing him then.

Do we know what is happening with Maria LaRosa?

She's moving to Weekend Now. Also, Carl Parker and Heather Tesch will now host Day Planner Monday-Friday instead of just Monday-Wednesday.

That's even better! I love waking up with those two every other morning! 

Carl and Heather make an EXCELLENT pair! So glad they will be on for the whole week now.

cool. Where did you get the icons? I like them a lot.

From a Google search:
http://rapidshare.com/#!download|212dt|228459161|XBMC_new_weather.zip|5647

Aren't those just the "Andriod Beautiful Weather Icons" or something that have been seen before? I am hesitant to download from the link provided because my McAfee security thing is going crazy, saying that the download could contain spam or something.

LDL is frozen, No animations no Transitions (HD LF LDL is perfectly normal)

and tell me it isn't 47 degrees with moonlit skies @ 12:31pm EST

What kind of cheap technology is TWC using these days?

Questions, Comments, Suggestions / Logo Rotation No Longer on Old "Curve" Theme?

« on: November 12, 2010, 11:59:08 PM »

Jesse, I know we talked about this via PM with the Halloween logo, but I didn't realize that it was affecting the entire rotation of show logos, too. On the old-curve theme (which I still use), the only logo that is appearing in the standard Weather Center one. There is no logo rotation anymore, and holiday logos do not show up either. I've tried clearing my cache/cookies, and it still doesn't work.

If this could be fixed, that would be greatly appreciated.

At 9:30 something this morning, there was a travel map with the XL Fog, and Sunny icons on it.

Really? That must have been a sight to behold. I didn't know TWC still had the XL icons outside of the XL itself.

Yeah. You know some of us might want to see a screenshot.


(Now let's have a minor celebration for my 3000th post! )

Programming and Graphics / Re: 11/15 Schedule Changes

« on: November 11, 2010, 09:45:57 PM »

Now I'm really confused. Once again, 11/15 is NOT the week of Thanksgiving, so I'm not sure why ICHT is being shown that week. Also, Matt said the movie would be shown on 11/26, and that is NOT Thanksgiving day...it's the day after Thanksgiving (Friday). So yes, it's still during the holidays but for those of you talking about Thanksgiving dinner, well, I usually have mine on Thanksgiving day and could conceivably watch it if I wanted to.
