OT: nope. Perfectly centered and calm. If anything, I'm excited about last night's plug.
OT: skunks, you were pretty much talking to everyone. Whatever.
"David Letterman doesn't endorse Q Television Network...
He plugs us for free."
Should be in the next ad somewhere.
LOL BigT, I'd love to see it even lower because money's tight after the holidays!! I don't have near enough shares as I'd like. Funny thing is, it completely goes against all the campaign day trading books I've been reading. I guess I'm waiting for Q to climb higher, make me enough money so I can then afford to play the day/swing markets.
:)
Another cool 'coincidence' for me is that I was on Letterman about 4 years ago. I was playing keyboards for Babyface who performed a song. Standing directly behind me on percussion was Shiela E, a very well known lesbian. We broke into "Glamorous Life" by Sheila as he came back from commercial.
I agree. It seemed like since he wasn't aware that there was an all gay network, he painted the picture that Q is the first and only gay network.
Love it!
OT: Skunks...I didn't "bring it to the board" I mentioned a small part of my experience in the chat room that night. You took it and turned it into something you had to defend. You were like a chicken with your head cut off, plain and simple. You were typing in all caps, threatening to report anyone who didn't behave the way you wanted to Frank. It was embarrassing. I don't remember any vote for you to be ruler of the chat room or ruler of this board.
I appreciate your point of view, your posts, your DD that you share and I especially appreciate your enthusiasm. What I do not appreciate is the over pumping and the "never mind the man behind the curtain" attitude whenever anything is brought up you don't like. As much as you try, you cannot control those in the chat room or those of us on this board.
If you throw another hissy fit in the chat room and I'm in there, I'll save the chat so you can read it again later when you calm down.
Frank should tell his webmaster to get a better chat program. One that would allow Tyler to kick impersonators and bashers out. I'll set it up for them for free if it means I won't have to endure your rants and raves like that night again. I swear I never wanted to go back into that chatroom because you were like a character on Seinfeld, "The chatroom nazi"
This is why I wanted to talk to you off-board.
I never said people would leave the stock?!? If you read my other posts, you would have read that I believe if the pps goes down because of the "error", I think that would simply setup Q to be an underated company. The pps would have nowhere to go but up. People like Buffet look for companies just like that, underated, so they can make huge profits when the pps moves back up to wherever it's supposed to be.
ie. it would be a good thing.
Nope: You skipped two very important steps.
It's Make Product->Available for carriers to pick up->Advertise->Consumer Aware->Consumer REQUEST their local carrier carry it->Consumer may now purchase.
"it will debut later this month" is what he said the first time. The second time he lost his train of thought and jumped over to announce that the Late Show will be broadcast in HD soon.
The Top Ten list is also broadcast on many radio stations the day after it airs.
I do not have any idea which stations. I only know I've heard it many times over the years.
OT: Light to you and your family DK for the highest good of all concerned.
my thoughts are with you.
The Letterman video is on my site!
http://www.walkersystems.net/q
You need flash plugin version 6 or 7 to view the clip. If it doesn't work, download latest flash plugin and try again. There is a scrubable timeline and controls.
I had to scramble fast to rewind my tivo and hook it up to my powerbook, cables etc... Almost broke my neck on this! HA! LOL! I don't have the tivo service anymore and use it to record the last 20 minutes of tv for pausing purposes. By the time I thought to hit the record button on my tivo, it switched over to 12:00 and it would have dumped everything before then and recorded 1/2 hour from 12~12:30am.
Anyway, it was a good opportunity to play around with the Sorenson Squeeze program for flash MX. I'll probably re-encode it tomorrow so it's bigger and clearer. This was the first time I've ever taken video to flash.
Whoever runs this message board can put a link to the video at the top of the message board. If I start approaching my bandwidth limit, I'll take it down.
GO Q !!!!!!!!!!!!
WHOLLY CRAP BATMAN! I'm sure you're all talking about it already, but I just happened to walk in from the rain and Letterman was on. I walked in EXACTLY when he said, "entitled, 'the Q television network" I for one believe there are no coincidences in this life. (Coincidence is God's way of staying annonymous) I say this because my nickname has been Q for about 12 years now (Bald...Cue ball, I invent things...Q from James Bond etc...) and as I was walking home in the rain I was thinking about QBID and asked the universe to give me some sign that I should hold onto my shares a little longer. Interpret things as you wish. I believe I got my answer loud and clear.
Top ten shows on the new gay television network:
10-Everybody loves Raymond, especially Steve.
9-CSI: San Francisco
8-Inside the actor's studio apartment in the west village
7-Law & Order: Special antiquing unit
6-King of Queens
5-Desperate houseboys
4-Stone Phillips - - Unleashed
3-Malcolm in the middle (I like this one!)
2-My wife and kids...have no idea.
1-Press the meat (play on "Meet the press")
Q Television sign-up: add me please
OwossoBorn Comcast - LA, CA.
thanks!
The ad was clear about asking your local carrier to carry Q. If they say it's not available at this time, so be it. You've now done your part by requesting it. The idea is pretty simple. The more people who request it, the more they will be inclined to carry it. They aren't going to carry it if they don't think their local clientel will order it, regardless of how great it is.
Skunks, I don't wish to discuss this on the board. Is there a way to contact you off it? Email or something? I can't send PM's.
The error is NOT meaningless. The average person who goes to a site with a configuration error message will usually view that company as rinky dink and not having their sh*t together.
This is my experience in helping the average corporate exec use their computer. You people on this board are far above the average user. You use message boards, chat rooms, stream audio etc.. Most of the people I help (fairly powerful ones in different sectors of the business world) still are waiting for Microsoft to send them $5 for each email they send out.
They think an ISP is software and that AOL is the internet.
If I tell them to left-click, they move the mouse from their right to their left hand and click. The extent they use google is to type in a KNOWN url as in www.microsoft.com... in the search field. They wait for the results to show up and then scroll down looking for a link to click for microsoft.
We've been riding pretty steady in a nice range for a while now. The day of and after the ad comes out it drops. I am conluding what I have concluded because it makes logical sense to me. Just feels like cause and effect.
I agree, IF.
Whatever is the cause, it sent panic through the pps.
And some of you think the mess up in the paper has nothing to do with the pps drop this morning? Hmmmmmmm.... interesting.
Do you think it would be dropping this much after trading sideways for sooo long if the URL were correct? Looks like fear set in and Bears won out for now. It may reverse a bit after 9:20 ~ 10:10 and moreso again after lunch.
Potentially millions of people saw that ad. I bet at least 98% of all share holders saw the ad.
It would have been nice to have some sort of retraction/correction in todays paper for the weekend instead of leaving it up in the air.
Let's see what next week's ad has in store for us. The shows look good, the intentions feel positive and moving forward. Just a matter of time...right?
My bad! I hadn't realized he switched the default color to white! That's what I always choose when I go there so I figured it finally was remembering my choice.
Kids, don't surf half asleep. It's dangerous out there.
Agreed. Nice post.
So? Here! is not anything like Q.
Here! is pre-packaged cold cuts / Q is a restaurant.
Here! is your best friends video collection / Q is a movie studio.
Here! is the tiny jukebox in 50's diners / Q is a live band.
Get my point? Here! has a finite amount of OLD content and Q is a network with functioning live, up to the minute, current content. They aren't in the same niche as Q, asside from being gay.
Focus! Ooops, I meant FoQus on the strong points of Q and you'll see it's far superior than Here! could even hope to grow to in the next year. We are way ahead of them as far as a network goes, but have chosen a different route for getting into people's homes. A BETTER ROUTE.
Here! may be making money but it's not money that's being taken out of Q's pocket so who cares?!?!?
Are you saying that Frank should put Q on the air exactly like Here! does?!? That's just never going to work for Q. It couldn't work because that's not what Q is.
Good Night eom

If Q can buy it, they should. Seems like they could sue Frank. :) I'd have to research q..network.com to find out what it's about. It might very well be a legitimate company with the name Q Television Network. Who knows? They are listed as being in the Netherlands. Could be some sort of cable access thing? I'm way too tired to do anything like that now. :)
I'd have to think about the squating on a name issue. Look at it as supply and demand. If I know that bluberry muffins are going to be a hot thing next week and I buy 5,000,000 to sell at a profit, should I be forced to give them up for free to a store called "blueberry muffins-r-us" just because of their name? I know that's not exactly the same thing.. fingers are typing by themselves. Whitehouse.com used to be a hilarious porn site and the gov couldn't do anything about it. They would have a mirror image of what the whitehouse.gov site would have, only they'd make all the people naked. Funny!
I don't own walker.com but I don't think I am entitled to it because it's my last name. First come, first serve sounds good to me. When I hear about a celebrity like Michael Jackson trying to sue to get a domain name I just think of all the other people named Michael Jackson (there's a white radio host with the same name) and why aren't THEY entitled to the name? On a related topic, I think the three and four letter extensions for top level domains is pretty lame. If they had a simple .kid, then all websites for children could move over to that listing and parenting software would work like a charm. ie: "www.sesamestreet.kid" Maybe even a .adt for adult content? i'm sure adult sites would love that because then the restrictions on under age viewers could be loosened and left to 'smart' browsers setup by parents.
good night!
Offering to buy qtelevisionnetwork.com and then point it to qtelevision.com is not a lame answer. It's a possible solution. Can't change the past. What's done is done. All one can do is change their view of it. Looking for someone to blame won't change the ad.
Grain of salt about Web Producer Tyler:
Last night, he jokingly said that the chatter with the name FRANK OLSEN "might be him." Skunks blew a couple gaskets because he said that. Said she was going to report him. I saw him as having a light hearted sense of humor.
Tyler has told me a couple times that he has no idea what goes on with inside business decisions. He said he's just a producer for the show, handling the internet related stuff.
Whereas he may overhear things that are juicy tidbits of truth, I wouldn't get too excited until something happens.
Anbak, you need glasses :)
The two domains are owned by two people/companies. Therefore, it will be impossible to have qtelevisionnetwork.com link to our qtelevision.com. no more than pepsi.com would link to coke.com.

go to http://www.dnsstuff.com/ and type both domains (one at a time of coarse) into the first blue WHOIS Lookup field to get the above information and much more.
That would have been nice DK
Try emptying your history and cache and cookies. I just checked again and it now carries the color throughout the site. All of the pages stay as whatever color I choose. I started doing this with flash sites I've done because the owners of the site could not agree on the color. Now they can make it whatever they want.
"a weak competitor base exists"
Nice post Stock_seeker.
"SVOD services are comprehensive packages that allow customer to view a library of VOD content" Subscription Video On Demand = video store.
Who cares what sort of carrier Here! is on?!?!? Really?!?!? You can't compare it to what Q is trying to do. Your'e just wasting bandwidth and wasting energy getting upset because Frank isn't doing what you want him to do. Try to keep your emotions in check and relax.
How is Here! in any way, shape, or form like Q television? Someone explain to me what they think the connection is? Is it simply because it's GLBT content?!? What it is is a limited amount of movies/shows. Eventually, people will have seen all that they want to see and will stop buying. Q has live broadcasts with it's finger on the pulse of the GLBT community, not a library of canned events/movies/shows. It's like comparing CNN to a pile of old newspapers. "Oh my GOD! Why isn't CNN doing what this pile of newspapers has done?!? They are available in every library across the globe! CNN must be f'ing up because they aren't."
People, the "Here! is doing this and that" stuff has got to stop. It's not relevant to this board.
Here! != Q
Here! is not the same as Q. Compare all you want. Square peg, round hole.
The site now remembers my color selection on the main page. A couple days ago, if I reloaded the page, it would go back to black. The webmaster must have gotten the cookie info right. Haven't seen any posts about it so I thought I'd share.
Means you can skip opening the message eom
I agree with that statement, but it cannot be applied to Q in this case. Sorry, apples and oranges.
(By the way, a rhyme for orange is door hinge.)
Actually, if I type in a URL and it comes up as "page not found" or "no reply from server" THEN I'll go looking for another URL because that domain name didn't exist. If it comes up as a real domain but shows configuration errors, I'll stop right there and leave. Reason is I would guess I reached the right site, but they are having technical difficulties and I'd try back later.
SmallDaddy: When a new brand of toothpaste comes out and nobody has heard of it yet, the company advertises the product. Seems like your reasoning would mean everyone would have had to magically heard about and bought this new toothpaste BEFORE the company should invest money in advertising for it?
I'm just trying to follow your logic (which is difficult amongst the laughing at other people's opinions) because it's not making sense to me.
The best way to get people to learn about Q and then REQUEST it from their local cable/satellite providers is to advertise. Nobody is suggesting that people read the ad and then 'order' the channel. The ad is clearly asking that people request that their local companies carry the channel so that they can then order the channel.
13 weeks is good. I'm not worried either way. At first, I didn't even notice the website at the bottom and that's my business! ha! It is comforting to know they have the opportunity to tweak and course correct.
Ha! My uncle was named after the edsel!
