Title : *BE COOLING FAN*

Date : 03/05/2005

David Lawrence: Alright, let*s see what*s going on here. Ms. Von Schtupp, what time do you have?

Ms. Von Schtupp: 3:41, 42, 43.

David Lawrence: Wow, hey this is pretty good, hold on one second. WGN, we will get it directly at RN, how*s that, okay fine. Okay yeah always nice when you get a call from the Chicago and Billy going, are you guys starting on time or you are you early or what? Okay so here*s the deal and this is great this is a lesson you can learn, never ever, ever leave your Chicago affiliate wondering what time it is. The way to get around this is with something called About Time, and I am going to show you exactly what this is. Now I wonder why this isn*t running, on our computer, on the computer that actually handles all the automations for our system. We have something that you can run as well, it is called About Time. And About Time is a little piece of software that speaks with a server. It speaks with a time server one that you specify, they are all over the Internet, Apple has one, Microsoft has one, United States government runs several of them, one is US Navy, one is there is one in Boulder, Colorado that*s sort of run by the government as well. And what they do is they march in lock-step with what is V-Time, there is only one correct time and that is V-Time okay. Now I am going to surmise that what happened here is in a fit of peak during the week, some little piece of spittle came out of my mouth. And landed right on the screen where the About Time logo is, if you click on my About Time logo on my screen, all of our stuff is touch screen here. It quits, it goes away because that*s the next action when you click on the button. We have it, we have it set so that it automatically syncs up and if you have to be absolute precise about things and that*s what we do here on the show, week after week after week, day after day after day, is remain precisely inline with all the rest of these stations and the networks that carry the show. If for some reason you are off at all, well then you get a phone call from WGN going we are off by 8 seconds here, is it us or is it you. Now they have obviously been up and running all day we are on the air every night at 7. And what happened today is I did some maintenance on the machine and I restarted it but I did not start About Time. I would be happy to let the affiliates know right now that the time as we speak is perfectly in sync and that there won*t be anymore early, early interruptions. Ms. Von Schtupp you want to call it out again, just to be clear.

Ms. Von Schtupp: 38, 39, 40.

David Lawrence: Now you are way off, I am perfectly synced up. So that*s what*s going on. Now you can go to arachnoid --

Ms. Von Schtupp: 45, 46, 47*
