IE 6/7 support Question

Does anyone care anymore. If the new estrip was IE8, Firefox, Safari only and IE 6/7 users had to use the mobile site would anyone even care?

news writes at 12:25:42 11/30/08 - Comment #42768: Oh peter, I just saw your comment on the last journal here. No worries, they can still check the site from the mobile site if I drop IE 6/7 support on the main site. You can get to any journals/chat you need to from there.

metalpeter writes at 05:59:27 11/12/08 - Comment #42020: I'm not the one who runs the site, or does the work to maintain it. I think the site should support IE and the reason is that lots of people use it and don't even know about Safari or Firefox. This is often the case of people who use it at work. I don't use it at work. But maybe someone is about to go home and they want to see if anyone wants to meet at a movie or something and then they won't be able to use the site. But where I think the support is more important is for new members. Say I hear about the site and I come here and only have IE. To Join a site I'm not going to try and figure out why things don't work or that there is a mobile site I'll just give up and never come back, and that could be a factor.

Doesn't affect me though :)

paul writes at 09:51:05 11/11/08 - Comment #41965: IE 8 as is, is pretty awesome. It supports almost all of what you consider standard DOM/javascript. At least enough of everything to make it much easier.

zobar writes at 09:05:43 11/11/08 - Comment #41962: Please say that IE8 is actually an improvement over IE6. Every day I'm finding new reasons to be disappointed with IE7.

Just two days ago I found out that IE6 doesn't support <option disabled>, and that IE7 never bothered to address the issue - after spending hours writing code that relies on it.

Sometimes I seriously believe that the Internet Explorer team is hindering global progress. How many millions of billable man-hours have been wasted trying to make their crappy browser work?

janelle writes at 07:37:32 11/11/08 - Comment #41960: <Gasp> Then I can't use it at work, I don't think. What will I do all day?

theecarey writes at 11:47:08 11/10/08 - Comment #41958: Whatever you want to do. I use Firefox and only rarely ever IE.

tinypliny writes at 11:46:25 11/10/08 - Comment #41957: Heh, I installed firefox even at work (without admin rights or authorization). The "official" IE-6 made my life a hell with no tabs and 40+ windows at times. It was a question of mental health.

tiburon1724 writes at 11:38:40 11/10/08 - Comment #41955: nope, haven't used IE in years.

james writes at 11:34:46 11/10/08 - Comment #41954: I think the internet needs to stop catering to outdated IE versions. Bring the hammer down Paul!

The upload button and chatter

Adobe release Flash Player 10 today

It has a bunch of new security protections and a bunch of new features.

It also effected the way that the surebert flash player multi-file uploader worked. The new version

I reprogrammed the other night is flash player 10 compliant. Luckily, I jumped on that because I had no idea they were going to launch it today.

If you don't have at least flash player 9 if will put a link there instead of the upload button.

While I was in there I also updated the chatter so that you can use ampersands and pluses.

Browser Stats for estrip

Firefox still is the top. Look how few people visit with safari. Reading mac news sites you would think it was like 90% of the web, lol.

Chrome is still nothing

However, I am srprised to see how many people are using IE 6 but then I realize that Roswell Park, where a bunch of us work, is still stuck back in 2001 browser technology land and it makes sense.

The cost of estrip this month

Holy crap. My first FIOS bill from Verizon to serve estrip came today and it is $321!!

That is for one month and some weeks of service, plus setup fee, plus router, plus taxes. It looks like it will be about $115.00/month. So if anyone wants to/can donate that would be awesome as I pay for that all out of pocket. You can donate by clicking on the donate link above the userpics to the right.

The move is complete

The new server is now running over at (e:fing)'s It should be much faster than before. Tell me if you notice anything weird.

Now that I pay $100/month for estrip.org you all should entertain me with more journals or donate.

Estrip Downtime on thursday

There might be some downtime for estrip.org on tuesday. I am going to be moving to server from Artvoice to a private residence on a new business FIOS acct I opened for estrip. This might cause some downtime depending how I end up doing the DNS switchover.

Don't worry - nothing will go be lost - the server is just physically moving locations.

(e:josuha) The parade is on Sunday I think people line up sometime in the morning at Kleinhans. The Dykes on Bikes parade is Saturday night maybe 7 or 7:30ish.

If there is a party that night of the 7th I'm free from what I know of.
