Added commas, comments, deleted peeps

Total Views Approaches 3,000,000
Let's have a 3,000,000 journal viewing since 12/03 party. Seeing as I never paid attention to the total views stats before, i have no idea how fast this will happen. If you are logged in and viewing your own journal, it doesn't add to the views. So these are other people viewing your journals.

Bumper Stickers
The 300 magnetic bumper stickers shipped yesterday so they should be here some time next week.

Commas in Stats
I also added commas to all the statistic numbers in the data stripe at the top of the site. The numbers were getting unruly without them. Thanks to the PHP number_format() function

Comment Stats
Then I added the total number of comments to the front page, the total number of comments on eahc journal to the journal, and the total number of comments posted by each user.

Deleted Peeps
I also deleted a good 100 peeps tonight after ample warnign about not using their accounts ever. That frees up their usernames againa nd reduces the amount of crap I have to backup when I backup the server.

Google Maps Update

I changed it so that all map links automatically default to hyrbid satellite/street map view. You don't have to do anything to update your old map links.

Speaking of map links. Anyone post to remember buffalo

Artvoice Best of Buffalo

First of congratulations to buffalopundit for winning best blog. I appologize that (e:lilho) stared booing. Turns out she didn't even vote,lol.

I requested that no one vote for us as best blog being that we are a blogging community and not a blog. That put us in much steeper competition for best web site, which we also lost.

No matter what the party was excellent and the food was delicious. Escpecially the ribs from BW and the sushi from Tsunami.

e:strip webmail upgrade

For those select few of you that have your own estrip webmail I have upgraded the webmail program and the email server so that your draft, trash, and sent boxes work again. In order to enable them, simply click on options->folder preferences once you are logged into the webmail client. Then select the appropriate Inbox.drafts, Inbox.sent, and Inbox.trash for each of the boxes you want to enable.

After a Brief Downtime

Everything is good now. Silly PDO for SQLITE 3 is so tricky.

PHP 5.1.4 upgrade

Today is the day the new PHP 5.1.4 has entered my life. We are at version 5.1.2 on (e:strip) and moving on to version 5.1.4 this evening. I already installed it on all the windows servers at work. Now I need to compile it for the (e:strip) linux server which is much more of a chore. I am glad I didn't bother for 5.1.3 as there was a major bug with $_POST variables that would have made a mess of my life.

Finally this version lets you ignore errors thrown by GD when working with jpegs. Anyone who has worked with mobile phone images knows that this is a blessing. Also some upgrades to simplexml for creating nodes and attribute. Here

is the whole changelog since PHP 5.

Hopefully, everything turns out great like every other PHP upgrade we have had since version 4.0.3.

Sorry about the outage

Something happend at artvoice and all their network connections went down - so our site went down too. Maybe (e:zobar) knows more about it. Seems to be back now and everything looks okay.
