Bye, Bye Africa

Call me continentalist but I refuse to deal with spam from abroad getting in my estrip message box. I was going to just block just the one ip and then I figured why not just senegal then why not just most of the continent. I mean seriously Good Day Sir to you too.

I had previously blocked Germany, France, China, Indonesia, and Russia for the same reasons. Usually, the spammers just give up eventually.

I'm going to try to make an appearance if all goes well with work.

I reckon that if I show up, I'll come as "the man who wasn't there"

tinypliny writes at 08:34:25 10/29/10 - Comment #59074: I ran into the glamorous duo quite randomly a while back, rolling out of Cozumel.
:-)

I am always somewhat surprised that (e:peeps) (non-roswell ones) actually exist in the flesh. heh

mrmike writes at 10:51:24 10/28/10 - Comment #59071: Both Ho sisters in one locale? quite the draw, but the cursed responsibilities of parenthood prevent me from making the party. Have fun for me

metalpeter writes at 04:48:45 10/28/10 - Comment #59063: The Peterazzi will be there but I won't be Ha, Kidding... Have to divert some funds.... I was thinking about going as the Nude Bicyclist Ok I just want some chick to paint me up (may go to see the stripteasers 1st) not really going as the biker......

leetee writes at 12:13:06 10/28/10 - Comment #59061: I've been waiting for the announcement of when the party will be with my fingers crossed. Didn't work. It's on the one night it would be impossible for me to come. I work until 11pm on Saturday night and i have to be back to work by 7am the next day to do a 14 hour shift. Boo. Have fun everyone!!

Estrip Android App Location Update

The android app now also has a location button you can click to add your current location to the blog you are posting with it. I need to test with it some more, but I pushed the update out so you guys can test with it too if you want.

That and it allows you to move the app to the sdcard if you are running froyo.

You can hit the button multiple times to add new locations to one entry. Say for example on a walk.

Even better with android, you can use the default maps, navigation or lattitude app and share any place with your blog using the built in "share this place" mechanism. This copies more data including the place contact info and name.

I added a location publisher for estrip

When logged into the mobl site, there is a new location button. If you click it, and are using a mobile phone that supplies location data, it will go ahead and load your location into a blog and let you type the title to publish.

You can also just click the location button on the regular mobl publisher

And from the non mobile site publisher for those using it on mobile devices or devices with accurate geolocation like a netbook or ipad.

Unlike facebook, everything on estrip is public so think about that before you publish something you don't want people to know about.

I'll make it do some fancier stuff when I have some more free time. I wanted to do this for years but everyone always thought it was so creepy. Now its practically mundane.

I thought if you collected it all you could start forecasting social occurances like weather. e.g. there is a 40% chance of someone from your social group eating at panos next tuesday, etc. I am sure the folks at facebook and foursquare are already developing that. It must be nice to have so much data to mine.

upload now accepts .jpeg files

I made it so the multifile upload now accepts .jpeg files as facebook seems to stupidly export pictures from their galleries with that extension. You can also upload 20 files at time now.

estrip.com is finally ours

After years of trying to get ownership of it. We now own estrip.com. No more worries about it turning into a porn site. It cost a good chunk of change but I think in the long run it was worth protecting our assets by owning the .com.

For now estrip.com just redirects to estrip.org. I think it will probably stay that way as I am not going to reprint the bumpster magnets and seeing as we are non commercial it makes more sense.

The most creative story about it was when (e:twisted) wrote to the former owner - who we will never mention again by name or company as part of the purchase contract - to say her name was Ester Stripinopolous and that she was looking to purchase the domain back in like 2004 or 2005.

Much Better Mobile Site

I really revamped the mobile site to work well on both the iphone 3g (iOS) and nexus one (android). If you get a chance try it out, should be much easier to manipulate with fingers than it was before. Sadly, the lame iphone cannot upload in the browser like the android phone I am posting this from.

Estrip 8 - now live

This is my first test post from estrip8. I am sure there are a ton of issues seeing as I programmed it piecemeal over the last 6 years about 2 hours a week and have scrapped and restarted over a bunch of times. It does not necessarily represent a lot of new features, but rather brings it up to date with my surebert framework so that I can more easily add new features and fixes in the future. Hope you enjoy it.

Sorry about the lack of themes. I will create them shortly. I have some already in production.
