Posts from August 2007

I just posted ~68,770 lines of estrip.org chat logs from 2005-10-08 02:27:28 to 2007-04-11 20:52:04. It is a 5.3MB static html file but it should progressively render. You can find it at the bottom of the info page by using this or by clicking on the word info under the site banner.



The link is at the bottom of the info page and called "Estrip Chat Log 4!", you can also get there directly using this link

Feel free to save it to whatever device you want and read it at your leisure.

enjoy!

You can now give people your journal address as yourUserName.estrip.org and it will redirect to your latest journal page.

For example my journal would be

http://paul.estrip.org

This started out as a chat comment but then I decided to make it a journal. Why do you think it is that the Buffalo Media networks both online and offline media has never recognized our existence besides a short article reference in the Buffalo News back n 2004 .

It seems like so many Buffalo based projects involving fewer people, less time, less information, and less media have been written up in Artvoice and Buffalo Rising, yet neither of them has written about our existence.

This, despite the fact the Arvoice actually hosts us, which I am eternally greatful for, and that Bufflao Rising promised to do an article last year as a favor for me helping them fix their server in a pinch. So much for that promise.

Same thing with wnymedia.net Whenever they refer to the blogosphere we simply don't exist.

I really don't how despite contributing over 20,000 journal entries and even more imagery and media to the buffalo blogging scene since 2003 we are still under the radar. I guess in a way it pays off keep the community small and intimate but on the other hand it kind of feels like a slap in the face to what we have accomplished with no commercial gain. Anyone have something to say about this?

Whoever can change the situation gets an honorary title on their userpic, lol. That's all I have to offer right now.

Thanks to a heads up from @leetee we squashed the user online status bug. It now no longer shows that everyone is online when they aren't. Thanks @leetee

Here is a graph of all the comments since we implemented them back in mid 2005. Some interesting blips in activity to think about.

Fixed the categories list bug that was introduced during the last update.

Thanks mrdeadlier :)

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.

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.

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.

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!!
