Posts from September 2007

I posted some statistic data for the site about the peeps who have written the most, posted and received the most comments. And blogs by temperature and age statistics.



For the most prolific estrip.org authors list you can see them listed by rank with a link to their latest title. Some peeps on the list haven't even written since 2005 which means that some of the new peeps can have an edge on stealing their spots.

I updated the mini userpics that show when you are online to reflect the number of journals you have to the nearest 50 always rounding down.

So, say you have 57 journals it will say 50+

The other two increments are "<10 blogs" for new users with less than ten journals and 25+ for those who haven't quite reached 50 yet but want to feel special too.

Get your own (e:strip) regal title!
If you also want to have a custom title show across the top of your minipic, you can buy one by donating to the estrip paypal account by clicking on Donate above the minipics to the right of the latest entries list. Money goes toward site maintenance and thinks like hardware, domain names renewals, software updates, and general upkeep.

You can also earn titles
Like @jim who is currently the 3rd most popular journal on the site this month (via view count), hence "bronze metal."

I updated it further so that the meta description of each journal page is the first 100 characters of the the text of the journal stripped of text bling and that the author is your username and a link to your journal. This should raise individual author ranking on google.

Whenever you visit a specific journal on the site, the journal's title is now the title of the page. This should make for better search engine optimization and just make it look cooler.

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
