Local Forecast / Re: Help identifying a song?

« on: September 06, 2010, 03:55:46 PM »

I found the song! I was a year off, the weather channel played it in April 2000. It's Jessica by the Allman Brothers Band.

You were also off with the genre. ABB is rock, not jazz. Glad you found the song, though.

Not necessarily with pricing but support and feature wise HostGo has fallen behind.

Having suffered through a lot of bad hosts, I'd say HostGo is one of the better ones. True, they're not perfect. No host is. Things happen. Some of it you can avoid, some you can't. It's the overall picture that matters to me. And overall, I have been very pleased with them.

As far as prices and features go, they are definitely the best I've seen. Sure you can get a gazillion MBs of space and bandwidth, and every feature you can think of from Fast Eddy's Hosting for $1 a month....but you're gonna "pay" for it sooner or later. I personally would rather shell out a few bucks more for a reliable host than get the cheapest possible plan I can find.

I don't know if you've had the problems I've had regarding video and audio downloads, but I found out something rather interesting this week. A few months ago, I downgraded my plan to the cheapest one ($6.95/mo). When I got this month's invoice, I noticed I was being billed at my old rate ($14.95). Naturally, I asked HostGo what the deal was. They informed me that some of my PHP scripts were using too many resources, so they had to change me back. I then asked if they could tell me what script(s) were resource hogs.

I was less than surprised to find out that two of them were the ones that people were complaining about (the flash player and audio clip downloader). So I converted all the video and audio links to direct download links. Problem solved (so far)!

Weird. I don't see anything on weather.com (other than the news about Earl).

Can I offer you some advice? I would recommend editing the first post next time, for all of these updates, instead of making 6 in a row separate posts, especially if you're the only one in it so far.

And you don't need to add a after ever sentence.

Is there anyway trammell can even remake that song?

No, he lost the masters. I think we all got excited for nothing here.

I'm sure that's a mistake. Mine was suppose to have 42 as well.

Our hosts plans are not competitive with other high ranking hosts

Wow, really? Unless you're not with HostGo anymore, I find that hard to believe.

Programming and Graphics / Re: So...when has TWC really jumped the shark?

« on: August 22, 2010, 11:59:29 PM »

First, let me say that I've always hated the expression "jumped the shark." It sounds much better to say "when did (insert TV show or network name here) start to suck?" Anyway, for me, it was 2000 with the introduction of Atmospheres. I believe that was the first moment I was watching TWC and thought to myself "you gotta be kidding me." However, it was still pretty good for a few more years. Then they started adding more shows whose weather subject was VERY thin. Thow in some global warming propaganda, some pretty dull music on the LF, don't cover severe weather, and I've all but lost interest.

BTW, IIRC Landmark sold TWC purely b/c it wanted to. It had nothing to do with someone being sick or a lawsuit. So yes, they had a choice. Dave Schwartz said in an interview that he thought it was odd that the sale happened right before the financial collapse. I do too. I think they sold TWC b/c they knew what was coming. Smart move.

OCMs & Personalities / Re: List by seniority

If you're listing in order, Nick Walker should be up under Kim, he's been there since the mid 90's iirc

I think you got that backwards. Kim first appeared around 1995. Nick didn't come around until at least 2000.

I could give it a shot, if someone posts the list would you like it similar to the music page section's format?

I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean creating a HTML file to look like my playlists, thanks, but a text list will be enough.

I know all the Trammell songs and their exact order. Matt, how should I send them to you?

You can PM them to me. Thanks!

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!
