Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to you as I am currently selling the domain www.estrip.com. I would like to ask whether you would be interested in purchasing this in a quick sale.

The quality of this domain goes without saying, type in estrip and you already get 50,000 results (and the word strip gets over 201 million!), plus with the nature of your business it would be an appropriate and excellent investment as most good .com domains are unavailable.

I am open to offers, but serious ones only please, my starting price is 1000 GBP.

Please get in touch ASAP if you are interested as this is going to be a fast sale, and a good bargain im sure for whoever purchases!

We come up number one for estrip on both yahoo and google now. So go die you squatter scumbbag extortionist.

(e:kara) re-wrote the front page and had me add something that shows the latest comments with a link to who wrote them and what journal it came from. I think it's great. There is also the code to add an estrip button on your own site.

Thanks (e:jenks) for mentioning the safari bug. The problem was blocking most of the other javascripts from working on safari and that is why the site appeared to not work. E.g you probably couldn't open your journal box, close your message window, etc.

Fuck you apple computer for not letting me redefine goto() without throwing a fatal error and fucking up the whole page unlike every other browser.

Sorry it took me so long to publish this repsonse. I refused to publish it until I changed the site code to check for real (e:name) links before I wrote it because I didn't want (e:strip) to show up as a name link.

Besides being one of my bestest friends, (e:twisted,359) has donated the most money, time, and hardware than any other peep to this community. Not to mention that I generally value her opinion over all others because of her deepest understanding of the project from the hundreds of hours of dialogue we have had about it. In fact I would say that on many levels, the project would not have happend if it wasn't for her and her commitment to it's existance. In essense, (e:twisted), I love you!

Here is my deal with the colon. Like (e:matthew,717) I find that the colon is important in the name and the logo. One reason being that there are two commerical products that use estrip as a name. One is envirostrip and the other is some sort of medical imaging system. I suppose I should just trademark (e:strip).

Seeing as the site is not a commercial project I could care less if some people can't find it because they are too stupid to try googling with a colon. It's not like I will sell less widgets because of it. I like the colon as part of the design as it reflects the identity of the site as I intended it since march of 03. Everything that ever said (e:strip) had the colon. It is in fact how you guys link your journals together. Unfortunately, they do not allow colons in URLS.

People can find it by typing (e:strip), ((e:strip)), elmwoodstrip, or elmwood strip into yahoo or google. Soon it should come up under number one for estrip as well, it just takes some time for the robots to catch up with the changes.

Eliminating new peeps that are not capable of making the jump from the (e:strip) logo to estrip.org or elmwoodstrip.org might be to my advantage as I am the one who deals with all the people who need help figuring stuff out.

So this is the final logo. (e:matthew) approved. It provides the most space for the (e:strip) and is compliant with the way many of the old street signs were formatted in buffalo. It also makes it obvious that it is not estriporg as one one. I really liked the google it, but I removed it as I don't want to support a private corporation.

point your links to estrip
First thing first. If you have your own website or some other place where you post links, please make sure to point your links to estrip.org. The more people that points their links here, the faster we take over who ever estrip medical is in the google rankings.

bumper stickers
Okay, so here is the deal. Is it more important to have your URL in your bumper sticker or a small keyword people can type into google. If you go to google and type (e:strip) with the colon we come up right away so maybe that is best. Plus it adds the extra step of discovery for the people who type it in, making it a little more fun for them.

So which design should it be? My fav is the first one with the parathesis. Also if anyone know a local shop where we could get this done, I would much rather support local busines than order them on the internet.







Thank you to all the people who made generous donations to make this possible. A special thanks to (e:olemanrunin) who made the largest single donation we ever had at (e:strip).

They now properly highlight the search terms in the journal they come from. Try out one of the epoetry poems by clicking on the epoetry tag on the top right of the site. When you click on any of the lines of the poem it takes you back to the original jorunal it came from with the text highlighted.

You can see it below, here is an example url

I am going to order the bumper sticker very soon, if anyone is gonna donate now would be a good time.

hangman is on a little break whiel i upgrade some stuff.

The site should be ecen faster now and I have some more upgrades coming soon.

I was telling (e:terry) about how I changed the title of estrip today after estrip.org came though and explaining to (e:twisted) about how Buffalo is the home of the original chicken wing, which led to the recording. It's really funny.
