Local Forecast / Bizarre WeatherSTAR 4000 error
« on: August 11, 2011, 03:23:54 PM »
My friend Mike sent this to me a few years ago. I can't believe it's taken me this long to post it. It's quite amazing, if you're a fan of WeatherSTAR 4000 errors. Check out the the extended forecast page...

General Discussion / The ideal weather website
« on: March 08, 2011, 10:50:27 PM »
I was listening to an interview with John Coleman (the founder of TWC, for those who don't know) today and he commented that most weather websites today suck. Unfortunately, the host didn't ask him to explain why he thought that, but that got me thinking. If you could create the ultimate weather website, what would it have on it? What would set it apart from other weather websites? Do you agree with his statement? If so, why?

TWC Classics News / New site design
« on: March 06, 2011, 03:54:58 PM »
Today marks the 20th anniversary of the debut of the "Weather You Can Always Turn To" campaign and "the new look for TWC," as Rich Johnson once said. To mark this event, TWCC is debuting its own "new look." I invite you all to check it out. :biggrin:

TWC Classics News / Post 2000 playlists
« on: January 17, 2011, 10:29:22 AM »
Since Martin and friends have done such a splendid job of cataloging the playlists from 2000-2010, I will be removing mine (again) on February 1st. Seems kind of silly to have the exact same data on both sites. Not to mention that maintaining them is a real PIA.

Questions, Comments, Suggestions / Updates and link
« on: January 14, 2011, 03:30:12 PM »
Two suggestions for the site, if I may...

Link the top banner image in the forums to the TWCT and TWCC websites. "Home" links to the main page of the forums, which makes sense. But it would be nice to have a link to the main websites.

Create an updates page for the site. Although I'm (obviously) more interested in older TWC content, I'm also curious about new content added to this site. However, I don't see anywhere you can find this out (other than on the front page - for a while).

Thoughts?

TWC Classics News / New content management system
« on: December 04, 2010, 11:36:33 PM »
FYI...

I'm using a new content management system on TWCC. I plan to roll this out over the next few weeks, section by section. When I've completed one, you might notice a few (small) changes, as well as some new content. My main goal is to make the transition as painless as possible for you. So if you encounter any issues or come across any errors, please let me know! Thanks. :biggrin:

General Discussion / Recent discovered songs
« on: October 16, 2010, 10:57:34 PM »
I thought it might be interesting to talk about song(s) that you've recently discovered. The idea being that if it peaked your interest, it might interest another member. The only rule is that the song can't be from Top 40 radio or TWC, since most will probably be familiar with it.

Anyway, here's my list (from the past month) to get us started...

Miles Davis - Bitches Brew, Blue In Green ( Jazz )
Sam Cooke - Bring It On Home To Me, Nothing Can Change This Love ( R&B )
The O'Jays - Sunshine ( R&B )
Luther Vandross - I Listen To The Bells ( R&B/Christmas )
Solomon Burke - Soul Meeting ( Soul )
Clarence Carter - Snatching It Back ( Soul )
Otis Redding - For Your Precious Love ( R&B )
New Edition - I'm Still In Love With You ( R&B )
Shades Of Blue - Oh How Happy ( Soul )
Brian Courtney Wilson - All I Need ( Gospel )
Sanctus Real - Lead Me ( Christian )
Hillsong - Forever Reign ( Christian )
Roy Hamilton - Don't Let Go ( R&B )
David Helpling - Sticks & Stones, Frozen Channel, Divine Whisper ( New Age )
ATB - Trilogy ( Trance)
Michael W. Smith - Song For The King ( Christian/Christmas )
Bill Douglas - Azure, Island Of Woods ( New Age )
Two Steps From Hell - Eyes Closing ( Production Music )

Contributions / Site archive
« on: October 16, 2010, 03:34:22 AM »
This may seem like a rather odd question, but does anyone have an archive of my site (full or partial) from last year? I just need the HTML files. I'm working on a project and can't seem to find them. Thanks!

Edit: Nevermind, found it! :biggrin:

TWC Classics News / Old forums
« on: September 29, 2010, 11:01:30 AM »
On Monday, October 4th, my 2003 and 2005 forums will be deleted from the server. After that, you will not be able to access them and I will NOT re-post them. So if you have anything you need from them, please do it this weekend!

Edit: These have been removed to save space.

OCMs & Personalities / Kristina Abernathy and Weathertainment
« on: September 08, 2010, 01:22:48 PM »
My friend (and fellow board member) Mike C. shared this with me today. I thought it was interesting enough to share with you all.

Someone posted a question on answers.com, asking what happened to Kristina Abernathy. While the author is probably just a fan and doesn't know the true answer, I thought his/her comments about Kristina (as well as other OCMs and NBC's version of TWC were spot on). I was never really a fan of Kristina (she was a little to rigid for my tastes), but I agree that she was always professional. Both in appearance and in how she did her job.

Since I haven't watched the channel (for more than a few minutes) in years, I am not familiar with any of the antics mentioned (except for the "Storm Master G" thing), but I find them appalling. When I saw the "Storm Master G" thing, I thought "you have got to be kidding me!" I don't know the circumstances surrounding that ad, but Dr. Forbes does not seem like the kind of guy who lower himself to that level. If I was him, I would have said "no, I'm not doing that" and walked out.

Finally...although I've never really thought about it, Jim Cantore does seem to have changed over the years. I'm sure he's still a great guy, but he seems to have a bit of an ego these days that's a bit off-putting.

Weatherscan Discussion / Playlist
« on: August 22, 2010, 12:34:26 AM »
I'm trying to get some playlists together of songs featured on WS. Known songs, of course. So I assume they would all be Trammell. Can anyone do that? Thanks!

OCMs / Bonnie McLaughlin
« on: July 28, 2010, 10:53:11 AM »
Is this the same Bonnie McLaughlin of Weather Channel fame? If so, she has not aged well. :blink:
