epad update

Now the epad just shows up when you click on an inlink instead of notifying you that the text has been copied to the epad. The save/send feature works as well. I hope this raises awareness of the epad system. If it is actually used, I mayl update with new features shortly.

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!!

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.
