We just hit 7,000,000 words. Its so exciting in like a day we will also hit 25,000 journals! Who would have ever thought. Thank you to everyone who contributed.

Adobe release Flash Player 10 today

It has a bunch of new security protections and a bunch of new features.

It also effected the way that the surebert flash player multi-file uploader worked. The new version I reprogrammed the other night is flash player 10 compliant. Luckily, I jumped on that because I had no idea they were going to launch it today.



If you don't have at least flash player 9 if will put a link there instead of the upload button.

While I was in there I also updated the chatter so that you can use ampersands and pluses.

Firefox still is the top. Look how few people visit with safari. Reading mac news sites you would think it was like 90% of the web, lol.

Chrome is still nothing


However, I am srprised to see how many people are using IE 6 but then I realize that Roswell Park, where a bunch of us work, is still stuck back in 2001 browser technology land and it makes sense.

Holy crap. My first FIOS bill from Verizon to serve estrip came today and it is $321!!

That is for one month and some weeks of service, plus setup fee, plus router, plus taxes. It looks like it will be about $115.00/month. So if anyone wants to/can donate that would be awesome as I pay for that all out of pocket. You can donate by clicking on the donate link above the userpics to the right.

The new server is now running over at (e:fing)'s It should be much faster than before. Tell me if you notice anything weird.

Now that I pay $100/month for estrip.org you all should entertain me with more journals or donate.

There might be some downtime for estrip.org on tuesday. I am going to be moving to server from Artvoice to a private residence on a new business FIOS acct I opened for estrip. This might cause some downtime depending how I end up doing the DNS switchover.

Don't worry - nothing will go be lost - the server is just physically moving locations.

We are thinking about a party on Saturday night at our house. Is anyone/everyone free?

Paul,

Just a heads up, one of our two T1 circuits is totally out, so we're essentially running at half speed. Just in case you noticed any slowdowns, that'd be why... I just discovered there isn't so much as link lights from the telco on the circuit card so not good news...

I'm working with Level3 to see what's up - they did warn they might have to do "intrusive troubleshooting" - i.e. take the circuit offline and test it in loopback mode. Last time we had a problem like this, they insisted on testing the good circuit as well as the trouble one, leaving us totally disconnected... so if they go that route again there might be a brief (few minutes) of total outage. Here's to hoping not... that's all I know so far though, but figured I'd pass it on.

So I have been doing lots of Adobe Flex stuff and I wanted to see what version of flash player people had to see if it was worth using Flex for estrip dev and I noticed that the Flash 9 player is used by 99%+ of userw. That is some seriously insane market penetration. Thanks youtube and xtube. I freakin love Flex. I am so excited about like more excited than I have been about anything web in so long.

Here are some visitor stats


Notice that Firefox is now more popular than IE!


Over one year, the traffic is steadily growing.

I find it totally frustrating that this irate person who cannot provide me with the information required to handle the situation. I am not afraid of her attorney. We have been through this before. Why would should not have provided me with the link in the first place?

The blog is over 1 year old, the girl who posted it is
severely mentally ill, she has been arrested for
attacking my mother and is being arraigned this week,
she hallucinates seeing me and we have a restraining
order against her. She is obsessed with me and I have
not had any contact with her in years nor do I intend
to contact her. I would prefer to not have to contact
my attorney to get this done. I have not lived in
Buffalo nor even visited there in years, I am married
with a husband as well as I am a physician. The
information on your blog is slanderous as well as a
defamation of character and I am assuming that you
have some control over what is posted. She apparently
is not a frequent blogger on your site rather has only
posted 1 random blog and as this comes up when you
google my name it should be removed. So please let me
know what other channels you have for this process.

Then I said:

I am willing to work with you on this. But if you do not give me the link to the blog, I cannot help you. How do you expect me to be able to locate the blog or the girl from the description you have given me in the last two contacts? Do you expect me to search for all blogs over 1 year old written by a girl.
