Subj : food, etc... To : Nancy Backus From : Barry Martin Date : Sun Dec 08 2019 10:12:00 Hi Nancy! BM>> if Illinois does go on year-round DST when Iowa is on normal time will BM>> be interesting for the TV shows: we have stations on both sides so when BM>> 7 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 be NB>> dealing with that... dunno if they'd be using something like MythTV or NB>> not, though.... although, granted in that case, they'd be switching at NB>> the same time, so things would stay in the same relation to each NB>> other... hmmm.. dunno.... BM> Right: not like it isn't done and this is the first time, just is the BM> first time for here/me. Will be figured out. NB> Hard enough to wrap one's head around, to be sure... Maybe NB> Illinois won't change, and it won't be an issue for you... ;) That would solve a few issues! ...Ooo: I just thought of another problem: when I set up a new computer for the time zone I've been selecting 'Chicago' (most of the time it pops up on it's own, probably based on where I insert to the Internet based on IP addresses). All the computer (regardless of OS) times zone information would have to be updated! BM>>> ...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. BM> Now where's that note I had? Can't rememeber what was on it but most BM> have been important.... NB> Indeed... ;) Uh-huh. 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 get NB>> somewhere, it's more likely to be done sooner than later... :) NB>> Richard's been out today shoveling what came down yesterday and last NB>> night... earlier we could get out and back in the driveway ok without NB>> shoveling, today he needed to get out for his Monday errands, so he NB>> did the shoveling (also a path to the mailbox for the mailman).... NB>> There's supposed to be more snow today, we'll see.... BM> The news I'm getting shows it as Rather Nasty out on the upper East BM> Coast. Didn't talk to my Mother last night but the weather conditions BM> indicated 'flurries', and not unusual for Boston to be hit and BM> southern NH to have a dusting. Or maybe I looked at the end of the BM> storm. NB> Hasn't been nearly that Nasty here... we've had on-again, NB> off-again, light snow, but not much accumulation since the NB> beginning of the week, and even that was only about 4-5 inches or NB> so... the bottom layer was those sleet pellets, but that was the NB> worst of it... Thankfully, we aren't quite at the coast.... ;) Tomorrow it's supposed to have a high of 48ø and drop to 21ø (a few degrees warmer on either side compared to last week's forecasts). Tuesday and Wednesday high of 24ø, low of 15ø; Thursday back to more seasonal with a high of 40ø. Might have some flurries during the cold days but no accumulation (or so they say! ). ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® ....
