Artvoice Best Of Buffalo 2008

Well, its that time of year when we normally lose Artvoice's Best of Buffalo contest but this year the category for Best Website is just gone so at least we cannot really lose, or do we pre-lose?

There is a category for best blogger and I selfishly voted for myself. You can feel free to vote for yourselves.

Like the sound of (e:Terry)'s new hack and kill game with the girl with the red hair in the background? Sounds like I am reporting at some battle ground.

NFTA Bus Schedules Made Easy - Buffalo

NFTA - Metro: Routes & Fares - buffalo bus schedule - schedules for the bus in Buffalo, NY

I decided to make a much simpler list for downloading the NFTA metro Bus and Rail schedules as I was so sick of navigating the stupid NFTA site to get the Bus schedule PDFs on my mobile. Its also at a simpler URL, estrip.org/nfta If you mobile doesn't do PDFS then this isn't so great but its still an easier way to load the PDFs on your computer for printing. Because of this I added a jpeg version as well. If you click the jpeg link next to a route, it converts the pdf to jpeg on the file for you so that you can view it with any image viewer. Maybe I will do a plain text version soon, if I have some time.

It sucks that the schedules are in PDF format for most people but hopefully this at least makes them easier to get to. If I have time I might convert the data as well.

Switching Servers

There is a good chance I am going to switch servers today. The new one is up and running at my house and thinks that it is estrip.org - now I just need to switch them out over at the Artvoice data center. Then we will be one step closer to estrip v6.

At first it will just run estrip v5 like the current site but having both versions on one server will make it much easier for me to transition the data between the versions.

So at some point today the site may be down for a tiny bit.

P.S. If anyone still wants to donate to the server fund we almost made it all the way to 100%. Thanks to everyone who helped - your support gives estrip a bright future with a new fancy server.

The new server

As of tonight it has working DNS, Red5 flash comm server, mail server, php 5.25, mysql 5.0.45 and everything else I wanted. I also have a copy of the current site running on it, an a copy of the new site. Seems like if I could just get well soon - it will be up and running in no time.

blah blah AOL millions Fuck Off

I decided to start a new category for fuck offs based the messages I get for the site. Here is the latest one.

@ 12/21/07 22:57@69.204.48.87 Guest wrote:

why does your chatter box show most recent at the top instead of the bottom? its like reading a paper in Asia. Why follow a conversation backwards? AOL made millions the other way.



The reason I don't copy the AOL chat style is because our chatter box is in a browser and the latest chat is most important, not the chat from the near past. So when people get to the site on a smaller screen or even on a big screen but a smaller window they can still see the latest, more important info from the chat without have to scroll below the fold. Same with a mobile browser, there is no reason to keep having to scroll down to check for new data in the box.

Just because AOL made a convention like that (in a completely separate context - dedicated chat program/versus piece of web site) I see no reason to have to follow it. Should I also have it say "You get mail!" when the user gets a message and fill their inbox with loads of spam?

Secondly, I have no interest in making millions from estrip if that is what you are suggesting and I definitely don't think the chat being the other way is what is separating me from being a millionaire. Have you not noticed there is no commercial aspect to this site?

Fuck off,
Paul Visco
