Elmwoodstrip.co Looks for Topic Writers

I posted this to craig's list but then realized that I forgot to post it here where it really matters.

We are currently looking for journal authors for the following topics. I thought by having some topic journals we could allow people to wriet that aren't comfortable with talking about themselves and at the same time get some nice insight into whats going on locally.

Topics we want covered:

Local Food
Local Music
Local Politics
Local Events
Dating in Buffalo
Local Sports
Local History
Local Architecture
Queer Life in Buffalo
Style
Pets

We are also looking for other organizations who would like to document the history and progress of their organizations on the site. We can promise you a huge local audience of thousands.

Interface Dance

The search box has been moved up above the user pic. The default now is to search the users journal you are looking at. Once the search box comes up, you can select the all check box to search from all journals instead. It is much faster this way, and also allows space to move the chat and calendar up. I decided to start using the caledar a lot. I will also improve on the calendar interface soon. See help to figure out how it is now.

You can also access both the mozilla plugin and the epoetry search from the search box that pops up when you use the search form above the userpic. The epoetry is much more accessible this way. It should also be faster.

Pride Was A great Sucess

There were so many people at the pride festival at Bidwell park. There were quite a few more people than last year, with a much bigger area. The festival was almost twice as big as last year.

You can see more information about the festival at these sites. Unfortunately, we forgot the video camera this year.

Outcome Buffalo:

Server Died from Overload

So (e:shawnr) asked me last night if the server could deal with lots of visitors from far away if he put a link to his journal on other sites. I thought it would be ok. Well on boing boing, there were apparently too many visitors. I think it is because boingboing is a news syndication hub and the links were flying in from everywhere. I guess it is time to start caching because thousands of vistors per hour, is too much for the mni VPS.

Unfortunetaly, (e:shawnr) is gone now, and the only way to deal with this was to shut down elmwoodstrip.com altogether. It currenlty redirects to google's homepage. I don't know how else to deal with it because th referer links are all over the place. From a million rss feeds. I tried rewriting from the htaccess file when the users looked up shawnr only and it worked at first but soon enough, people started removing the u=shawnr from the end of the url and it got killed again. Eventually, I had to just redirect all elmwoodstrip.com info away from the site.

Someday, I would like to test the site out on a really robust server. For now just visit elwmoodstrip.org.
