There was a typo that was causing the userpics to not switch. I just fixed it.

Thank (e:zobar) for the heads up.

I updated a bunch of stuff. (e:Strip) is finally running on the surebertCom javascript ui library which probably means nothing to everyone but (e:enknot) but basically after weeks of coding and standardizing entire object based javascript library, it is now in use and I will continue to work on it.

You guys are the big test for it, although I don't imagine you will see much difference.

I did update the restore backup funciton, no more pop-up, journal entry closes after publishing and notifies you that you published again, backup does not show up when coming back from uploading media, and once again, there are select transparent pngs in IE 6 after I tweaked the PNG code a bit to make it more efficient.

So for those of you that didn't know this, in 2003, (e:strip) started out as my Thesis project for my Masters In Fine Arts at UB. It is finally almost time for me to hand in my thesis. In order to complete it I will need some feedback from you guys.

Here are some of the questions, you can just post the answers on your journals. Please post the answers before friday, June 19th. Include a link to this journal so I can see the connection. If you want to keep the answers private for any reason you can always email me instead. Also if you have any additional information you would like to share, feel free to add it.

Thanks for your time.

I still have a surplus of magnetic (e:strip) bumper stickers. Does anyone not have one that wants and/or needs one? I have been sticking them on random cars at this point to try and get rid of them.

I updated the autosave system so that it you don't need to check the box and it saves anytime you type a letter. The most you will lose is the last letter you typed. Because it is not on a timer, it will never save over something you typed, accept with something you typed. As soon as you start typing you can see it is saving because the restore button turns red.

I hope you guys like it.

I promise to make a better sound player very soon. The new one under the userpics is temporary. But better than what was there.

I am in the process of updating the site to my new javascript libraries. I am going to certify that everything works in IE 6 and the latest firefox. Safari is going to be tested at the end. Hopefully, it works already, if not use firefox.

You shouldn't notice much of a change yet, as there are no specific new features but this will provide a great framework for new features. PNG support in IE 6 is upgraded. The major difference will be the speed at which I can develop and integrate new stuff and keep track of my own developments.

Email me if you have a specific new trouble you think is related to this.

The mobile video player is now much more sophisticated and look nicer. Just hit the (e:video) button to begin playing them. You can seek to any point in the video even one that hasn't loaded by dragging the little triangle.

Remember winter, (e:mike) and I took this video on the way home from cirque de solei

If you don't already have firefox on automatic update you should, but if you don't you should upgrade to version 1.5.0.4 right away. They fixed a lot of bugs and some security issues that were pretty scary.



Firefox is the official browser of estrip.

This is a post written from IE. It is not having errors on IE 6 windwos XP?
