OT: By the way... the guy who won my ebay auction of the MOTU gear flaked on paying me!!! Can't believe the amount of people who bid and don't have the money in their paypal account!
OT: HEY NOW! I just put gas in my truck and bought a coffee. That's enough financial responsibility for one day!
webcam: My Mac with iSight camera doesn't work with the software Q uses for webcam stuff. I tried it a couple weeks ago and am awaiting an update from the webcam software company.
I suppose I could record something and then send it to Tyler? I've never been a reporter before, wouldn't know what to say or how to say it.
I see I've posted 115 times (more than I thought) but I don't see how many I have left.
AHHHH! I see above "Welcome to Happy hour. Until Happy Hour ends, the site will act like you're a Premium member. If you never want Happy Hour to end, click here."
That explains a lot. I saw someone post Happy Hour earlier, but didn't understand what it meant.
So it's a sort of rating system for validity...
"as a day trader..." Funny!
NAMM:
Yes! A couple friends of mine threw together a little jazz group to play at the Groove Tube booth. It's gonna be a hoot! They have never played together and have such different styles. The singer is great, but gets extremely nervous in front of people! I hope he doesn't try to talk and just sings. They are trying to get me a free pass.
I used to work in music stores in Michigan and here in LA, so I used to go to both NAMM shows every year for about 7 years. I got SOOO burned out on them for a while, but I'm ready to check one out again. I can't be walking around for 5 hours at a time though, lower back won't have it.
Forgive my lack of information... but what is member mark anyway? I looked through the FAQ and my profile settings but didn't see a definition.
I never said "they can't develop their own content." Do they have any today? Are they offering any shows with any of their current contracts under the VOD service? I don't think they'll be able to pull a show (let alone 5 or 6) our of their ass in the next 4 or 5 months. (IMHO) That's plenty of time for Q to establish itself. (I hope :) )
I don't think VOD service will functionally work for live or current programs. Too much of a pain to constantly pay whenever you want to watch them. If they get another type of deal where it's month to month and not Video on demand, that'd be different... IF they had ready to go programming, which they currently do not have. As I posted a couple days ago, I have the mindset that starting off as a movie jukebox and then morphing into a real network would probably not take off as fast as an entity that started off as a network with shows already airing on a daily basis... not to mention the live nationwide coverage and gay olympics.
They can announce what they wish to do in the future. It doesn't change what they are today. Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. Today, Q is a network, Here! is not. To me, that indicates that Q is way ahead of Here!
Good point. Forgot that I have to log in first. Thanks.
How about a poll for host of GMGA??...
in no particular order...
-Rosie O
-Ellen D
-Elton J
-Whopie Goldberg (isn't she gay? if not, nevermind)
-Will from Will and grace
-George Michael with Boy George
-That Mizrahi designer dude
-Harvey Firestine (sp?)
-Christopher Lowell
-That English comedian who dresses up in womens clothes? Izzy something?
-Kevin Spacey (I've read a couple times he's gay)
-Will Ferrell (not gay but DAMN it'd be a funny show!)
I tried to post last night and it wouldn't let me. Said I was over my 3 posts for the day? Although at the moment, I don't see any reference to how many posts I've done today above this edit box? We'll see. Thanks CT... Hmmm.. shouldn't your name be "CT_Q" and not "CT_here!" LOL. (I don't type LOL too often ya know)
While I have the chance, I'd like the thank PootPoot for hosting the letterman video!!!!! Thanks!
Also, is it possible to have the two Q chatroom links posted at the top of the message board? The link to the investor chat is still messed up and doesn't work for some browsers (read:my browser)
AMEN DINGO!!! Thank you! Here! TV could get a deal on every carrier/channel in the world and it's STILL not going to be a competitor to Q. If anything, it will HELP Q to get more exposure. Think of it as getting the proverbial (sp?) gay foot in the door. Eventually, those who are shaky and not sure of gay television will come around and be a little more desensitized to the idea if Here! gets more exposure.
I could care less what the heck Here! is up to. It's obvious that those who are worried are doing so simply because the only thing Q and Here! share in common is gay content.
-When a new reference book is published, does it affect any libraries? NO
-When linksys comes out with a new router, is Microsoft affected? NO
-When a mom and pop coffee store upens up, is starbucks or coffee bean affected? NO
-When blockbuster announces "no late fees" is the movie theater industry affected? NO
-when apples have a great harvest year, are orange sales affected? NO
It's like AOL vs. the Internet. I am amazed at how many people think AOL IS the internet. Aol is like a library that also has a door to the internet. The internet itself is vastly more. (Here! is like AOL in that example, Q is the internet)
I can't believe I just wasted 1 of 3 posts on this subject :)
I believe on some of the sites I've seen the top ten list posted they include the Q Television network name.
Didn't think you were bashing, I was just stating my opinion of my own post and what I would say in my defense if it was indeed deleted.
It'd be nice if Q could pick up Queer as folk.
I see they now have "Queer eye for the straight girl" starting on Bravo.
It'd be cute (sorry, Qute) for Q to create "Queer eye for the Queer guy" for those who happen to be gay, but also have no style.
If they can say those words on a radio without being fined, then why not on this message board? They use those words when teaching sex education to kids in 6th grade. I doubt we have any 5th graders or younger on here. :)
I wasn't attacking anyone, I wasn't being rude or offensive. I was explaining what the joke was probably intended to mean (IMO). If we can think it and smile, why do we frown when we read it??
If it gets deleted, oh well. Wasn't trying to offend or upset.
qtelevision.com is hosting their main site at easy-cgi.com (at least that's who is hosting the DNS for qtelevision.com)
I'm not sure what sort of bandwidth a chat room generates. Probably not too much since it's mainly just text, but there may be reasons they don't want to host the chatroom on the same servers as their main website?
Whatever the reasons, the chat room java software is a bit weak on the features needed to keep order and peace in the room.
Still, it's better than not having a chat room at all.
I figured meat was slang for penis, and 'pressing' it was inuendo for anal sex, no?
The added bonus of also being the reverse of meet the press just added to the cleverness.
Whereas I am not gay, I have participated in that activity with other straight females. (I'm old enough where I think I've done just about everything short of illegal activity. Most of the top ten list was funny to me. You do know there is a show called "My wife and kids" don't you? That entry was a gay twist on that show. Funny stuff Maynard. Even when he said, "Malcolm in the middle" I had a vision of the kid who plays Malcolm with that scared look he always has on his face, sandwiched between two other guys... wondering what he was doing there.
It's too big to email. If you find a place, I can email you directions on how to get it directly from my site. Thanks!
Wow, apparently the free hosting sites have a tight bandwidth limit of between 1 ~ 2 GB per month. I doubt the video will continue to generate 16GB of traffic every 72 hours, but it will probably generate more than 2GB per month.
Thanks for the search work!
Good thought, hadn't thought of that.
Matt,
Is there a way you could host the Letterman video clip on ihub? As I've posted tonight, I cannot keep it on my site due to overwhelming bandwidth usage (16GB in two days!)
It's done in flash, so it takes two files: the .swf file and the actual video is a 5.2MB .flv file.
Thanks,
Randy
Thanks, I will. I can't do private messages since I don't have a full account here.
I don't know. Let 'em sue me. Sheesh! I have absolutely no money for them to take... well, unless Q rises a LOT. It's coming down anyway. If it ends up on this message board, maybe someone could send an email off to CBS for permission to use it... if it's that big a deal.
Welcome :)
I thought it was funny even without the explanation.
It has never been said the link is going to be deleted. I have to delete the video file itself. That means that any link to it won't work anymore.
Here's my original post about 20 minutes ago:
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=5097794>
Islandboyz: Um, it's probably going to happen while you're asleep tonight.
IslandBoyz: That's my website/my domain "walkersystems.net"
What I've been saying is I have to take the video clip down because it has resulted in 16GB of bandwidth usage in 2 days and my monthly alotment is only 40GB.
If they can put it on this message board's server, then it will be accessable all the time and I won't loose my account with my hosting company.
:)
What's Matt's email address?
I said that.
Chatroom Hosting: The chatroom is hosted at bravenet.com. What they really need is to find a better chatroom java program. There are plenty of free ones out there, they just need to do some DD and find the right solution. Color coding employees, the ability to kick out those who don't belong etc..
Here's a direct link to the regular chatroom:

Direct link to investor chatroom: (can they put this link at the top of this message board for ease of connecting???)

Hopscotch, your quote is like the one by Arthur C. Clarke:
"The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them, to the impossible."
(It's in the book, "A Beginner's Guide to Day Trading Online" by Toni Turner. good book.)
I check out the investors chat room all the time. It's always empty and everyone is participating in the regular chatroom instead.
I have to take down the Letterman video clip due to too much bandwidth usage.
I am AMAZED at how many people have viewed the Letterman clip since posting it on my site 2 days ago!!!!!!! (see statistics below) It is proof positive to me just how many QBIDers there are and how active they all are in DD.
I logged in to do some editing and there was a message that "at my current bandwidth usage, I will be over my limit in a couple days." I can't afford the upgrade, nor do I have a reason to upgrade other than the video clip. Is there any way that this message board could host the file for me? Ron2w, behoof, jcradio??? Anyone else have a server they can host it on?

B A M M !
Oops! I only have 1 post left today! I suppose I should go to bed and get some rest before working, huh?
Yes fish, I was born in Owosso (in between Flint and Lansing)
It's at the bottom of their front page too! Thanks for the tip Foxy!
OT: I am relaxed. I was relaxed. I'm a pretty relaxed guy. :)
