Everything Else TWC / Redesigned website coming soon!

« on: June 29, 2010, 04:26:38 PM »

I was checking the weekend forecast for where my mom lives and came across an interesting blog post.

http://www.weather.com/blog/weather/8_22209.html

Apparently, weather.com has been completely redesigned and will launch in the coming weeks. The post states that the last redesign was nearly 10 years ago. Wow, I had no idea it had been THAT long! Where I work, we generally recommend redesigning a site every few years.

Anyway, the redesign is suppose to fix issues that people having been complaining about for some time. Among them are poor navigation, a cluttered look, and difficulty finding things. All of which I've experienced, and I'm sure many of you have as well. Should be interesting.

Yes, I was helping him out with a few of the music clips. They're loud because we had to record the audio of several of these clips from my YT videos. We apologize sincerely if your speakers burst, but we didn't figure it was loud enough to a rate where there would be complaints. Alex worked really hard on the templates and I tried my best to provide the clips, please understand all the hard work we had to do to make this template an easier way to sample past TWC music, guys.

Yes, I realize that. I just figured that Martin would want to know of the problem. If something isn't right on my site, I always want to know about it. Even if it results in extra work. But maybe that's just me.

Well, for starters...every song on this page.

General Discussion / Overrated, underrated, and guilty pleasures (in music)

« on: June 25, 2010, 11:24:13 AM »

Calling all music lovers! What are the artists that you think are totally overrated and criminally underrated? And are there any artists that you're a bit embarrassed to admit you like? Don't bother with newer artists currently enjoying their ten minutes of fame. Stick with established ones. Here's my list to get you started...

Overrated
The Beatles (and all their offspring), Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Bruce Springsteen, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Billy Joel, Madonna, Prince, Dave Matthews Band, Eminem, Nickelback, Black Eyed Peas, Kanye West, Beyonce, Elton John, James Taylor, Carly Simon, Jimmy Buffett, Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, John Mellencamp, John Mayer, Train, U2, Creed, Shania Twain, Santana, Gretchen Wilson, Sting

Underrated
Anita Baker, Big Maybelle, Bonnie Raitt, Brian McKnight, Brook Benton, Grayson Hugh, Jackie Wilson, James Ingram, Johnny Gill, Lenny Williams, Loretta Lynn, Luther Vandross, Mel Carter, Norah Jones, Phil Wickham, Ray Charles, Roy Buchanan

Guilty pleasures
Michael Bolton, Reba McEntire, TLC

Depends on where you are. If you're in the midwest, it's definitely more active than normal. In fact, in looking at the maps, this pattern is reminiscent of 1993.

Welcome to the forums. This isn't the section to put this, but the song is titled "Track 37" by Trammell Starks and was named "Late Night Café" by people at TWC.

Actually, the second list of song titles was developed by a fan.

I'm probably gonna get shot for this, but Laker fans are some of the stupidest people on the planet. "Yah! We won!! Let's break other people's things and get arrested!!" Morons.

How would I clear my browser?

Haven't you asked that before? Write it down this time. IIRC, you use IE.

- Go to the Tools menu.
- Click on Internet Options,
- Click the Delete button.
- Click the Delete files, Delete cookies, and Delete history buttons.
- Click Yes after each one
- Close your browser and open it again

Welcome to the MSNBC2 era 

No kidding. And it's not like he's going to tell us anything new. He's going to blame Bush and BP. He'll say that he's been on this since day one and that he's looking for someone's a** to kick. Blah, blah....

It sucks that NBC is canning Law and Order..

Yah, but it was bound to end sometime. It's just not the same without Lenny. And I'm not crazy about the current assistant DAs.

I don't ever remember hearing this one?

Me either. Then again, I am lacking somewhat in footage from that year.

I'm glad CBS finally dumped "The New Adventures of Old Christine." What a horrible show. Then again, what do you expect from Elaine? I am amazed, though, that "American Dad" is still going. Another horrible show. That and the "Cleveland Show." I've often wondered how the same people that do "Family Guy" do those two shows. Granted, "Family Guy" isn't nearly as funny as it used to be, but still. Same with "South Park." I don't know how that show has made it so far. Glad my shows "Psych" and "Burn Notice" were renewed, though!
