In case anyone missed it

In the chat today a guest posted:

guest 13:06 : to terry, and all the other lame asses who oppose progress. Panos has been contributing to the buffalo economy for years. the dilapidated buiding next to the restaurant is coming down! Dont knock someone just because there successful and your stuck washing dishes.

That is some serious classist bullshit! Elmwoodstrip.com appolgizes on behalf of any dishwasher out there who read that.

To mak ethis even more ridiculous, someone using the same computer as the one who posted that guest post, went ahead and made a review of Kosta's on the restaurant site

Come on. Why slander Kosta, he had nothing to do with this!

Right now sidekick 2s are available on amazon.com for $24.99 with a new service plan. I am sending this now from the sidekick 2, where with the developer license you can even email sound files recorded on the phone itself which can then be emailed directly to your journal.

Serious Site Drama

The site was down for most of the night. I really need a fast reliable, reasonable cost host. The host we currently have changed something in the way that $_SERVER['TRANSLATED_PATH'] was reported. I changed all references to $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] and it worked. I wonder why it changed. It had worked in the code for months. Oh well.

New Host, anyone want to donate

I signed up for a new host at a site with PHP 5 so that I could recode the site to be more efficient by taking advantage of the new upgrades in PHP. Unfortunately, it is a bit more expensive so if anyone wants to donate feel free to click on the donate link at the top of the page, any bit helps and would be greatly appreciated. If you want to donate in some other non-paypal way please feel free to contact (e:paul) .

Some Updates

I just wante dto go over some recent updates for people who didn't knwo about them.

[size=m]Restaurant Review[/size]
I added the restaurant links to the top, which links to the epeeps peer based restuarant review system

[size=m]Estripbot[/size]
I added the bot link to the top, so that people can easily get to the estripbot and add it to their buddy list on aim. For those of you that don't knwo the estripbot is an aim robot created by (e:ajay) that allows people to communicat ewith the site itself and ask qeustions. The estripbot can tell you who is online, read you the last 20 posts, tell you the weather and more. just type help when talking to it, to find out what commands are avaialable.

[size=m]Inlinks[/size]
The inlink code needed to link to another journal is now printed at the bottom of every journal entry. You can also click on the chain link icon next to it, in order to have the links stored in your epad for later use.

[size=m]epad[/size]
.Your epad is your own personal notepad on the web. You can access it from anywhere and save text to it. At any point you can back up the text by sending it to your email via the supplied form. To get to your epad, click on the little pad icon in your control panbnel or visit elmwoodstrip.com/epad

[size=m]Others[/size]
News journal - The link to the news journal has been moved to your contorl panel. People visiting the site will see its link highlight in the top twelve list when someone posts. The news journal is the only group journal on the site. Any epeep can post to it using the little newspaper page icon in your control panel.

News journal - The error which denied some people the ability the edit their user links on their journals has been fixed thanks to (e:twisted) pointing ti out to me. To update your userlinks, which appear under your stat on your journal, simply click on the green pen icon next to the word links.

Peer Based Restaurant Reviews

I've worked on the epeeps, peer based, restaurant reviewa bit more more and took some of the suggestions into account. For example, I added the number of reviews for each restauarnt into the list so you can find restauarnts with reviews. I moved the title over, shrank them and fixed the stats box so their was no overlapping. I still need to add an email input form and some other odds and ends but unfortunately, I have more errands and hardware fixingand school today.

To get to the site click here or click on the "restaurant" link at the top of the elmwoodstrip.com link bar. If you eat somewhere add it or if it's already there just review it. Once we have a bunch of review I will be able to release the more exciting features of the site.

Stats Update

I was taking a look at the stats for the journal with over 100 entries to see if there were any trends. i am 100% not a statistician, so I thought maybe someone else could look at it.

I noticed some trends:
1. The number of posts does not directly reflect the number of views. While more posts generally mean more views, it is not always the case.

2. Being connected to others helps. The more people you become friends with in real life, that are also on the site, the mroe views you have.

3. Number of images is not directly correlated to number of views.

4. If you are korean, you are very popoular or you look at your own journal a lot when not logged in.
