Subj : food, etc... To : Nancy Backus From : Barry Martin Date : Tue Dec 03 2019 08:59:00 Hi Nancy! BM> Got a refill on coffee and this thought popped in to my head: if BM> Illinois does go on year-round DST when Iowa is on normal time will be BM> interesting for the TV shows: we have stations on both sides so when 7 BM> p.m. on Channel 4 in Illinois it's sometimes 6 p.m. per Channel 6 in BM> Iowa and sometimes 7 p.m.! My MythTV system for recording shows will BM> be all confused! There are ways to adjust times for an individual show BM> (start x minutes early, end x-minutes late) but I don't recall seeing BM> anything for a specific station/channel. Thinking it has to be done BM> some how as Arizona and Hawaii don't participate in the time BM> switching. HI easy enough as surrounded by ocean. AZ..... Figure it BM> out when and if it happens. NB> I'd guess that people living near a time zone edge would already NB> be dealing with that... dunno if they'd be using something like NB> MythTV or not, though.... although, granted in that case, they'd NB> be switching at the same time, so things would stay in the same NB> relation to each other... hmmm.. dunno.... Right: not like it isn't done and this is the first time, just is the first time for here/me. Will be figured out. BM>>> True: sometimes got rather confusing in the old days with multiple BM>>> people when too much snippage. NB>>> I still see that, where everything is snipped except maybe a line or NB>>> so, and it's hard to remember what the context was.... generally not NB>>> in threads I'm actually involved in, so just a minor annoyance... :) BM>> I've kept some messages (right now thinking from the MythTV conference BM>> -- threads I'm directly involved in but of potential interest later) BM>> and generally too much quoting but occasionally just a line and so BM>> possibly not enough for me to remember what that was supposed to be BM>> about if I need to refer back months later. ...I'll occasionally edit BM>> my copy but usually don't. Would be a lot of wasted toner and paper if BM>> needed to print out but if just an electonic copy no big deal. If I BM>> need a hard copy will either edit then and print, just print sections, BM>> or sometimes create my own copy and do the editing to that one. NB>> Those would work... as long as the file isn't too big, or your editor NB>> handles very large files.... :) BM> I haven't had any problems. OTOH I prefer not to go scrolling through BM> 50 lines of scrollback just to see an "Uh-huh". Might be appropriate BM> at times. (Note to self: edit some!) NB> Yup. Now where's that note I had? Can't rememeber what was on it but most have been important.... BM> We go by the It Depends Rule: if nasty out there -- cold, blowing, BM> etc. -- probably won't shovel until it stops snowing. OTOH if it's a BM> wet heavy snow probably will shovel because easier to shovel less heavy BM> snow than an accumulation. And then OTOH if have to be someplace in BM> the earlier morning will probably 'pre-shovel' in the evening so takes BM> less time in the morning. NB> Yup, the It Depends Rule applies here... adding, if one has to NB> get somewhere, it's more likely to be done sooner than later... NB> :) Richard's been out today shoveling what came down yesterday NB> and last night... earlier we could get out and back in the NB> driveway ok without shoveling, today he needed to get out for his NB> Monday errands, so he did the shoveling (also a path to the NB> mailbox for the mailman).... There's supposed to be more snow NB> today, we'll see.... The news I'm getting shows it as Rather Nasty out on the upper East Coast. Didn't talk to my Mother last night but the weather conditions indicated 'flurries', and not unusual for Boston to be hit and southern NH to have a dusting. Or maybe I looked at the end of the storm. ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® ....
