e:strip outage

Sorry about the inconvenience. The hosting facility had a problem that required them to reboot the (e:strip) server, it was out of my hands. We had about 4 hours of down time this morning. That was out first outage in almost a year. I hope that it stays all good, or I will have to move the site yet again.

Paul,

We are looking into this and will get back to you.

Thanks

Unsolicited Political email

Today, I received some local unsolicited political email on the site from patrickrantz@yahoo.com . I have not investigated it, but it was sent to me via the email link under my userpic. It was telling me not to vote for Byron Brown and while it does make an interesting read, I wanted to make it clear that if anyone else received one of these letters, they are not "official" (e:strip) emails.

Artvoice and Mini Update

[size=m]Artvoice Best of Buffalo Party[/size]
On another note, who wants to go to the Artvoice Party on Monday from 6-9 to see if we won the best blog in Buffalo contest. I really hope we do, somehow it would justify a lot of the hard work, even though the real satisfaction is in seeing how much you guys all publish and visit the site. Here's to 11,000 entries which is just aorund the corner.

[size=m]Mini Update[/size]
I fixed the publish box bug. It should now stay open as long as its not empty, including when you return the page from uplaoding a media file.

Sorry about the delay, it was only a one line change but I was so freakin' busy.

New .amr File Format Accepted

I added support for the .amr audio file format. It is a highly compressed audio file format that is used on mobile phones. Like the 3gpp mobile video format I added before, it's default player is quicktime 6.3. However, I believe other programs can play and/or support this. Maybe (e:uncutsaniflush) can figure something out if they don't. If not just make sure you have quicktime support, it is free at

Who wants to go to Artvoice Absolut?

Anyone want to go to the Artvoice Absolut party on Septemeber 12th to see if we came in as Buffalo's #1 blog site? It is Monday from 6-9PM. Maybe a bunch of us should go, it could be fun. I have a feeling that Buffalo Rising will win because they have more connections. I wish we wern't up against blogger blogs. I can't wait for them to release their new site. (e:zack) says it will be awesome.

I think we are probably once of only a few commercial free community blog sites in the country. Maybe that will count for something.

IE 7 Beta download

As I said yesterday in the chatbox, internet explorer 7 beta is now available

for download. I hate IE just as much as the next guy but at least this veriosn has native support for pngs and tabs!

When installing it checks to see if you have a valid copy of windows. It also requires a restart which I think is so lame but it is fun to get a glimpse of the future of crap technology!
