Yesterday

Yesterday was an almost record day with about ~300MB of bandwidth used. Think of that like trading ~210 floppy disks full of information.

e:peeps, inlinks and e:pads

Welcome new epeeps. If you have any questions feel free to email or IM paul. You can also ask questions in the chat box and surely someone will respond during the day.

[size=m]Inlink Update With epad Support[/size]
I updated the inlink process. An inlink is a way of linking your journal entry to another journal entry on the site. There are two ways to make an inlink.

1. When logged in you can see the inlink code for any journal entry at the bottom of the entry. If you copy that copde into your journal, it will make a link to the journal you copied from.

2. If you are going to be making multiple inlinks, you might find it more convevnient to have all of the inlink codes copied to your epad. Your epad is like your own digital notepad or clipboard. You can use it to save and store text, which you can email at any point using the email feature at the top of the pad.

To copy the inlink text to your epad, find the entry you want to inlink to and click on the little chain icon at the bottom of the entry. The journal inlink code will then be copied into your epad where you can store it for later, or copy it right away for use in your journal. To open you epad , simply click on the pad icon in your control panel. It is the one to the right of the # sign.

You don't even have to be at the site to use your epad. The epad is accessible at elmwoodstrip.com/epad . If you were not previously logged into the site, you will be asked to login on the epad page. Your epad is a private space that only you will see and is not accessible without your password.

WAP support and userPic/Snd updates

In case you hadn't read it anywhere else, you can now access some site feature from a WAP enable cell phone. This includes hundreds of models of cell-phones with text based browsers. Currently you can see how many people and who is online, as well as, a list of the last 12 updates and read them.

I also updated the userSound and userPic upload functions. There should be no more problem with browser caches, etc. Test it out and upload a new userPic or userSound today.

No more IE for Mac X support

As of this afternoon I will be discontinuing all support of IE on Mac. I am sorry if anyone is effected by this, but I do not have time to keep up with that most archane browser.

IE is not longer even supported by Microsoft as it has been disctinued as a Microsoft Product since the advent of Safari. I would like to look at it as the beginning of the end of the Microsoft browser monopoly in gerneal.

Users of Mac OS X should have no fear about inaccesibilty to our site. There are many other MAC OS X browser options, including apple's own built in and much more standards compliant named browser Safari, as well as, Netscape, and most importantly firefox

.

Firefox

is the the premier browser choice for viewing elmwoodstrip.com. It has many features that are not avaiable on other browsers. These currently include live bookmarks (rss style), and an estrip search plugin, so that you can search our site right from your browser toolbar, just as you would with google.
