16,000 Journal Entries

· · 🌡️ 61°F

Today we reached our 16,000th journal entry. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this project and shared a part of their life with the fabric which makes up the digital quilt that is estrip.org. I am defending my thesis about it today and then it's over I am pulling the plug and moving on to bigger and better things in cooler cities. Just kidding.

@theecarey and I have a bunch of plans in store to expand estrip further and my committment to Buffalo is pretty permanent since I just bought a house in the middle of the city.

Bug Fix for Search and Epoetry

· · 🌡️ 65°F

I fixed the bug that occured when you used the search box or a the epoetry window to get to a journal entry and the text from the search or the line of epoetry was not highlighted in the journal. Maybe no one even noticed it but it was driving me insane.

I got this as a site message otday.

Hi there!
I wanted to invite you and your readers to see the documentary The War Tapes (the critically acclaimed Iraq War documentary filmed by three NH National Guard troops) tomorrow (August 31st) at 7pm. The movie will be opening on Friday, but there is a free sneak preview tomorrow at the Market Arcade. To get a better idea of the movie, please check out the reviews section of The War Tapes site:

Here's the invite:

The groundbreaking documentary film "The War Tapes," is opening in Buffalo this Friday -- but you're invited to a free sneak preview.
The War Tapes
Free Sneak Preview
Monday, July 31st
Market Arcade Film & Arts Centre
639 Main Street
Buffalo, NY
7pm

This extraordinarily important film is the first documentary to chronicle the war through the eyes of those Soldiers who lived it. Director Deborah Scranton and Producer Chuck Lacy gave video cameras to a group of Soldiers from the New Hampshire National Guard prior to their deployment, and this film is the result. Awarded "Best Documentary" at the Tribeca Film Festival last month, this film is a must-see for anyone who seeks to better understand the war, and its impact on the men and women sent to fight it.
Check out the Trailer here: or on the Apple trailers page. You can also read some of the many great reviews that the movie has received here:

To get your free ticket, please RSVP to buffalo AT thewartapes.com . If you can't make the screening on Monday, the movie opens at The Market Arcade Film & Arts Centre on August 4th.

Hope to see you there!

Bug Fixes and Upgrades

· · 🌡️ 74°F

The site is now using surebertCom 1.38. I squashed a whole bunch of mostly IE bugs. IE and firefox should almost be on par. I also added a new feature where if you egt a new site message while on the site, it pops up for about 20 seconds. It only show messages which have not already been viewed. Other messages show up in your messages control panel.

IE problems revsolved

· · 🌡️ 71°F

I upraded to the lastest surebertCom 1.27.

You may need to empty your cache but by using surebertCom I was able to reduce hundreds of useless lines of IE code. You should notice that the control panel icons and themes icons convert to transparent PNGs much faster now.

Also in this new verison the hand lines up at the far left so it should never get in the way of any icon.

Major Updates

· · 🌡️ 77°F

I switched everything over to surebertCom 1.22 If you notice any problems please send me an email. I did notice right away that it fixed the message pop up box selectAll and send mass message toggle. It also made the box drag better than before.

There are lots of other upgrades coming soon as I finish the stupid thesis.

PS. I noticed that the flash video boxes in the journals are not displaying at the right size. I will fix that tomorrow.

UPDATE - fixed the flash music player/video player reszie bug.

Fixed the bug that @jenks found which effected non-logged in, non-admin members. Should be all set now. Thanks for noticing. @twisted couldn't see it as admin.
