Posts from September 2007

So I finally had a good half hour to fix some stuff that has been bothering me. Yesterday it was the comments popping out the bottom pf the journal text area and today I finally fixed the stupid punctuation with e name link problem.

Now I can say things like, "Damn I am so jealous of @paul #40879's lobster dinner last night." and not have to worry about the apostrophe.

Same with listing off peeps such as in the sentence "I wish I could be as gay as @matthew, @paul and @terry!"

I meant to fix this bug for months but I always forget. It took like 4 seconds once I looked into it. the comments no longer pop out the bottom of the journal entry area when they are really long. You may have never even noticed this but it was stressing me out.

For those of you that read the site religiously, it seems like only hours ago @jim posted "roswellstrip.org" comment on @libertad #40837

Well that was 143 comments ago. Thats right. In the last 24 hours - 29 e:peeps posted 143 comments. Thanks,

@metalpeter, @tinypliny, @jenks, @libertad, @mrmike, @mike, @imk2, @jason, @janelle, @james, @anne, @jim, @ladycroft, @mrdeadlier, @drew, @jbeatty, @theecarey, @lauren, @hodown, @paul, @ajay, @lilho, @lizabeth, @gryta, @carolinian, @fellyconnelly, @museumchick, @matthew, @leetee

Why does no one ever add audio to their estrip loudfeeder podcasts?



I just added some original @terry live from the original estrip radio station back in 2003 on mine.

You can load that podcast into itunes.

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

--paul

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.
