Everything Else TWC / Re: General TWC Discussion
« on: September 07, 2008, 02:10:11 PM »I will start it, depending on what it does over Cuba. If severe weaking = hype. If nothing really and stays a hurricane = OMFG STORM ALERT.Now the Hurricane Ike radar inset and graphics are here, along with the Ike LOT8's opener.Should we start the Ike Hype thread?

General Discussion / My IStar Weather Displayer
« on: September 06, 2008, 07:32:40 PM »
(I figured this would be a good place for this, since it's a touch more than a emulator/fan art.)
After some excruciating moments, I am proud to show you all a very special and daunting task that I am working on. With the help of Martin's great donation of the IStar files, I am happy to announce the start of an IntelliStar Weather Information Displayer. This "program", simply an Adobe Flash file, reads local forecast data from the NWS RSS feed and displays it in the format of the current look of the IntelliStar. Currently this program is simply the first slide, and only bits and pieces are completed. I hope to make it more slides (Local Obs, Regional/Metro conditions), and if I can find forecast data, that too. Maybe down the line I can add a customizable feature and release it.
This is NOT a PowerPoint, so no manual data entry is required!
VERY, VERY MUCHO GRANDE IMPORTANT: I will absolutely not take requests or accept PMs, IMs, e-mails, phone calls, text messages, or any communication wanting a custom copy. I'll get to that soon enough. I want it to work for me. Failure to understand this means I will ignore you.
Ready to take a peek? Are you sure? Ready? Here it is:

Programming and Graphics / Re: Official Hanna Hype Thread
« on: September 05, 2008, 10:45:51 AM »...and what's with the freakin' red info bar for Hanna? They're not even in Storm Alert! (and yes, they've suspended the :08 and :38 locals)
Wow, this coverage is so much more dramatic than even the cat. 2 Dolly coverage now that they're riding on the Gustav ratings hype. To think something less than a major hurricane at landfall could cause such hype...Clearly you guys haven't seen the commercial where they are pimping the fact they were the highest-rated news service for Gustav. It's gonna be a "OMG WE DA BEST" until after hurricane season now.

Programming and Graphics / Official Hanna Hype Thread
« on: September 04, 2008, 06:11:22 PM »
With the debut of the Hanna and Ike opener (in the style of Gustav's opener), it's time to open up this thread.
When it potentially gets closer/stronger, I request the title gets changed to "Official Hanna Storm Alert Thread".

« on: September 04, 2008, 02:36:03 PM »So, Bill and Eboni are already doing an extra hour of DP, with Viv and Nick not starting until the top of the hour. What kind of schedule is this, and what's the point? Are we going to see a really weird schedule come tonight or something?I bet Steph and Mike are en route to location.

It doesn't sound like Trammell to me.
I might search the July list to check, though.

Like the font updates, but the extended crawl looks bad. It could have stayed where it was and still looked really good.
