Hope it goes well for youI'm sure not many of you knew that I even moved to Houston recently, but I was sooo homesick there and I'm so proud to move back to my hometown.
I actally don't mind the humidity, as I am rather used to it, being situated in between the Great Lakes. The excessive humidity here is most likely we have not hit 100 since 1988Ack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 It's 80 degrees, with a Dewpoint of 70!!!!! This is the most "Summer-like" day we've seen this year. Severe Thunderstorms definitely in the works.One thing I hate about the summer.... The humidity!!
I have important computer equipment - I can't afford to have it work improperly or get ruined by the humidity.
Just got back from the eye doctor... Fun stuffEyes are dilated big time
I have been through that before, Martin. I know, it is not fun!

« on: June 18, 2009, 02:37:24 PM »I actually like it. It means less spontaneous narration. I don't feel it is necessary to show the radar if there is nothing on it, so long as they make sure to show the sat/rad product.I noticed the one minute flavors only show two cycles of the local radar, just like before September 2004!
The ones during :08 and :38 during DP don't even show the radar, I don't like that.

That's nothing, try 89° a dewpoint of 74° and a heat index of 97°! It wasn't supposed to be any severe weather here today, but apparently I'm under a PDS Severe Thunderstorm Watch.

« on: June 18, 2009, 12:03:07 PM »I love sushi! There's a chain here called Wegman's that makes good sushi, but I'm sure nothing beats homemade sushi (as does pretty much anything else).Well, I am expected to hit the mid-80's tomorrow and again from Monday on next week, so hang in there, a ridge with warm air is coming
It feels a lot like April here today. We're barely expected to go up to 70° today because of this rain. Yesterday we only got up to 69°. We should be in the low 80's this time of year.
I am socked in the clouds here too, and I am not liking it

Well here we go, here is how it all looked before the change:
And now after the change:
About 14 months after Capital City Airport's name was changed to Capital Region International Airport, it finally updates on the Intellistar here.
Here are the primary changes included:
-The listing formerly labeled "Capital City Arpt" on the 8 city guesses segment now says "Capital Region Int'l", but it takes too much room as the l in "Int'l" is hidden underneath the temperature. It should be changed to take up two lines, IMO.
-Charlotte was added southwest of Lansing on the "Local Radar" segment.
-The almanac title was changed from "Lansing Capital City Arpt" to just "Lansing"
Here is another video which includes a full LDL cycle on Weather Center:

« on: June 17, 2009, 06:42:39 PM »I just talked to my dad about it, and he said that there was a seperate ad crawl and the Local weather ID shown was 22842. I would like the almanac to say more than just "Lansing", but I have a feeling though that the STAR team will not respond to my postings on TWC ClassicsWell, I will upload a video momentarily of how it looks here in Lansing. My theory is that several units around the area consolidated into one- mine. I am going to my dad's place over there in Haslett to see if this is indeed the case.Most of the time, when you mention your Star to the Star Team about requests, they make other tweaks to the system too. It doesn't necessarily mean there was a headend expansion.
When did the station IDs disappear?They had been gone all day, on both the E.L. and Lansing units. I noticed that the station ID returned as of 4:57 PM EDT.

Edit: I checked over my clip from this afternoon again. I see the looping information on the sat/rad product was gone for the 4:08 PM EDT LF but back for the 4:28 PM EDT LF. Thus, this big change (whatever it may be; I am not sure what has happened yet) most likely happened between 11 AM EDT and 11:30 AM EDT.

Well, big news today. I turned on TWC 45 minutes ago and I notced a few configuration changes. Charlotte, just SW of Lansing, was added on the Local Radar Screen. The almanac title was also changed to Lansing (instead of "Lansing Capital City Airport"), and the airport name under the airporttab on the LDL was changed from "Lansing Capital City Arpt" to "Capital Reg. Int'l Airport". Also, Grand Ledge, and Eaton Rapids, all outlying communities of Lansing and all in the same county as Charlotte, were added as additional current conditions sites under the "now" tab and also under te forecast tab. I am thinking that several units around the area were consolidated today. I called the STAR team with the number I was given, and I of course had to leave a voicemail. I will leave a notification on TWC Classics. What's worse, I come home this morning from the E.L. headend, and everything was as it previously was. I was not recording during the change :-(
I am noticing that looping info is also gone on the Local Forecast, and that there is absolutely no information on the station ID. Now, is this happening nationally? Is this just a new thing TWC is trying out, or could it actually be consolidation of Lansing area headends?
