Bug Fix

They just came out with a real mozilla based browser for my favorite mobile device, my "not phone" - the nokia n800. I was using it to surf estrip and I wanted to test flash stuff because it has flash player 9 but I couldn't see the usersound player. Then I realized it was just missing - so I fixed it.

Bug Fixes

Fixed the search results bug. Try searching for holly hunter or "holly hunter" now using the main search link above.

There was a bug in the alt tags which was resulting in all images in each journal entry having the alt tag of the first image in the entry. This has been fixed.

Some Bug Fixes

1. The months cloud list now only loads journal from the month selected. Before it started with the month selected and went back 10 journal entries even if they were in another month which made it repeat entries between months for people with less than 10 entries per month.

2. The surebert upload feature now should not trigger a "script is running too long" flash alert when uploading larger files or large amounts of files.

3. When using the search box on a journal (located above each userpic on a journal) you can now use the show all option, previously the most results you could view was 100.

I hate making changed before I leave for a trip but I had time today - lets hope for the best.

Site Power Outage

Some of you may have noticed that the site was down this afternoon. It was due to a power outage at Artvoice where the server lives. Seems like everything is back up and running smoothly. Thanks whoever fixed it!!

Healthy Lakes, Healthy Lives

Someone wrote to me about the following photo contest. I don't normally post stuff that people send me because I think everyone should start their own journal but this seemed like something a lot of you may be interested in.

I thought your readers might like to know about the Healthy Lakes Healthy Lives story and photo contest .

Have a good one.

Linky Dinks

Can some of you with access to other web sites add links back to estrip? I am playing with google analytics and want to see how it affects it. You could use the sticker code on the front page of estrip below the comments section or just make your own links.

Our current google page rank is 4. I want to know how much more it takes to make it 5.

Thanks,
Paul

Safari For Windows

Safari For Windows just came out which makes it a lot easier to keep everything the same on all platforms. It is really time for IE to catch up or shut down their browser development.

The safari CSS problem at the top of the site has been resolved now that I could easily test it.

I also have not seen the safari quit bug in this build which goes along with what (e:carlonian) was saying about it not being in the latest apple build and means that it was most likely a safari bug.

I have noticed that safari is a bit faster than firefox but it is unfair comparing my highly customized, extension rich firefox to a default build of safari.

I wonder if we will see safari for linux?

Apparently, investors would have been happier with new hardware and 3rd party app development, instead of web devel for the iphone. It would be nice to not need one to develop though.

Sorry about that multi image bug today

The multi-file image upload is back. I would have fixed it earlier in the day but I had to go get drunk at Thursday n the Square first. For future reference, whenever something is broken on the main site, you can always do almost everything from the mobile site. e.g. upload images, publish journals, read comments, chat, messages, etc

The bug
For the technies out there you might find it interesting that as of firefox 2.0.0.3 you cannot use the externalInterface calls on flash objects from javascript unless the flash file is showing. It took me forever to figure that out. That is dumb as far as I am concerned. I can't even tell if it is a bug or a feature seeing as they don't mention it anywhere.

Anyhow, to get around it I move the 1px wide flash files around so that it is always in view in the newest version of surebert.sticker.js once, you see it, it can go out of view and still work. So much for that. The new version of surebert took advtage of this but I had forgot to upgrade to that version when I made the changes last night.

I know I keep saying I have all this updates coming but I really do I am just waiting on having a new powerbook later in June so that I can easily test all the operating systems at once. The key will be having 3GB of ram!

The newest surebert 1.56 forgoes the obfuscation and just strips comments, gzips and caches the js files. They just as fast and it is all automated. In the new version of estrip the css will done the same.

So it works again. Have fun.

Some Updates

The journal area now stretches the whole way down past the user data.

I am now compressing surebert with gzip instead of javascript.

The themes and latest journal box is no longer pushed down in Safari.

Hopefully, in three weeks I will have a mactop and can do more testing in safari, although I think the site generally works in it.

Maybe I will opensource textBling tomorrow.
