Updates Galore

Well, after all the AIM integration updates last night I decided to continue on with the madness. If you are logged in you can now also see someone's online site status on their journal. There are two icons one for aim online status. The AIM one is a link that allows you to chat directly with the user using AIM.

The other icon indicates the user's online status for the site. If the user is on the site you will see the little pen icon.

If the user is both on AIM and on the site at the same time you will see this.

I also changed the control panel to be icon based and moved the upload userPic and userSound functions over to the control panel, see below.

New Instant Messenger Intergration

In order to bring people together I had integrated AIM with the site. In order to use the features, you need to have AIM

installed on your computer.

For those of you that do not know. AIM is a free chat program made by aol. It allows you to chat in room, person 2 person, exchange files, and now even play online games together.

In order to have your AIM online status show up on your journal, simply log in and click on the AIM

icon in your control panel found in the same spot as the login box, but after you log in. Just type your AIM userName into the form that comes up and you are set to go.

Now, when you are logged into AIM, other signed in users will see

under your userPic. Remember, this is only visable to othe rlogge din members. Non-memeber visitors of the site will not see anything. If you are not logged in to AIM, you will also see nothing under your userPic.

Also, if you go to the who page you will now see links for audio chat, the php chat, and the AIM chat room. The AIM chat room will take you to a chat room that is pre-set up for estrip.

Hopefully, this will work to keep you all in touch with each other, even when on mobile devices.

New Show or Hide Entry Feature

When logged in to your journal you will now see a new icon at the bottom of each journal entrie. The icon is an eye. Clicking on this open eye will shut it and hide the journal entry from anyone accept you. This is a great way to store a draft until you are ready to publish it.

Art Voice Festival

Here we are at the artvoice festival. It's pretty rockin' but slightly more commercial than I remembered it being. It might just be that I fogot about all the vendors.

Here is (e:terry) in the crowd and the painting wall. The painting wall is some sort of collaborative art experience where participants each paint one square of the larger canvas. You can then purchase you square. We have one hanging at the 567 that (e:matthew) painted at the Hallwalls

festival at the peer a couple years back.

Misspellings are an art

A student once told me (when I was a TA), that misspellings and general English mayhem were an artform, a way for him to express himself.. ;-)

Why Does Nobody Spell Check

I spent about a week developing the spell check system suggested by (e:hodown) [inlink]hodown,23[/inlink] during February Feedback [inlink]news,172[/inlink] and according to my counters, just about nobody ever uses it. It really does a good job. It checks the spelling, looks for a suggestion on google and in the local dictionary, allow you to add new words for everyone else, and even to check the words at dictionary.com. All using the spell check interface.

Maybe you guys don't know about it. Or maybe, spell check is just for nerds, hahaha.

JP Kreations

Some guy started a company called JP Kreations that makes some really neat bikes. Unfortunately, I could only capture these low-res sidekick pics cause I did not bring the digital cam.

I talked to the guy who made the bikes and he said he will be opening a store near elmwood and allen. He also said he has a website but it's not up yet. If you are him, and you are reading this, you should keep a journal about the progress of your art and business.

in response to this article i would like to say i
would be more than happy to update this site as
often as i can! THANX TO ALL WHO ENJOY THE ART OF MY WORK!! JP KREATIONS
