Wow the new MSn search really like to cache our site, they visit it so much and so far have saved 30 pages of results from it but google
only has 26 full pages itself.

Updated Stats and Appology

(e:matthew) warned me about this several times and I forgot to check into it. It is true that the media stats were not updating for a while, actually about a month. I am surprised no one else noticed besides (e:matthew). It was an easy fix. I had changed the name of the database that stored the statistics but hadn't changed it in the code that counts them as you upload. There are so many more media files than expected. You can always check on the (e:info) journal for the full site stats or on your journal for your own stats. Stats are located right under your fav five list if you have them enabled in your preferences control panel.

[size=m]Current Site Stats[/size]
Total Entries: 6237
Total Words: 1,075,819
Images Uploaded: 3105 *updated since fix
Total Sounds: 28 *updated since fix
total SWFs: 16 *updated since fix

Wow, that is a lot of information.

Snow Flakes And Web Cam

I am putting htis hear for historical record. today it snowed. I released the snow on the site too. The snow is the infant state of a new interactive menu system to be released at some point in the future.

The snowflakes themselves are interatcive, white ones can be shoveled by clciking. Clicking a red one turns off the snowflakes till you restart your browser. The orange one produces haikus. The Green one turns on flake animation. It also pauses it. Think of the green one as the play button. They are randomly placed each time. If you have them animating and you begin to type a jorunal, they pause for your convenience. The blue question mark "flake" is a link to a web cam. Because they are made of ASCII text they are very low impact. They work on safari, IE for WIN, and firefox!!

Libraries closing

1. AFTER JANUARY 1, 2005: YOUR LIBRARY WILL CLOSE!



1. AFTER JANUARY 1, 2005: YOUR LIBRARY WILL CLOSE!
Are you aware that all 52 libraries across Erie County will close their
doors after January 1st under Erie County's proposed 2005 operating
budget? This budget cuts support to the Buffalo and Erie County Public
Library by more than $19 million -- an 80% reduction in the System's
operating funds.
Please communicate your need for library service to your County
Legislator, State Senator and State Assemblyperson. For public official
contact information and a sample letter, visit
.
Keep checking the Library's website, www.buffalolib.org, for updates and
information on future advocacy efforts. Your support is greatly
appreciated!

New 24 bit PNG support

Your journal now supports 8 and 24-bit PNGs even with alpha channels and even in Internet Explorer for Windows. This is a great way to have really nice transparency in your images.

That brings supported file types to include mp3, mid, wav, jpg, gif, png, swf.

We need more writers

These numbers are good but what is it was 50 and 80 instead. Do you all think we should really resort to paper flyers. It seems so anti-tech but it might be what it takes? Any other ideas to draw in new writers. Like I said before the readership keeps growing up but we would like to have more writers, and it would be nice to have a broader age spectrum. Right now we are mostly in our mid 20s to mid 30s. Maybe more teens and more adults? Any ideas?

If you are a reader only and are reading this, why not sign up for account today. It's free and you get a huge local audience. We are also looking for people to have their own radio shows. Anyone want to start a local recipes journal? What about a historical places in Buffalo journal, a Buffalo parks journal, sport and recreation journal, anything you can think of. Sign up today! If you have any questions feel free to IM me at "paulsidekick" or email me here .

Maybe I should make it a contest. The person to have the most people sign up and start writing a journal wins a prize. I'll work on that.

Spell Check

The spell check has had its final update for today - okay maybe not because I am obsessed with programming it. I redid the way that the data moves between the boxes so that it should be faster and work on all systems, including EVEN SAFARI for OS 10.1 I know, you are probably saying, "that's impossible!" But no, thanks to the close election, I was up all night working on it and by this afternoon was able to make it work just like I wanted. The best part is that now that there is no form involved I could simply move the little button where I wanted it. I will probably stylize the whole thing sometime very soon.

New Color mixer

Here is an example of the new possibilities with the background and text color mixer. To use it simply click on the color selector in your journal publish box. If you have it in background mode, it will select background colors for your journal entry. If you have it in text mode, it will select text color for your entry. Just click on the color swatch in the color mixer window, to copy the color code into your journal.
