File Upload

When you upload files now, you can either drag/drop them to the media bar on you blog publisher interface or you can click the media bar and select the files off of your computer. I have gotten rid of the flash file upload.

I also made the thumbnails display instantly and larger so that you can see what you uploaded. When you upload an image, the code is auto added to the entry. If you want to re-add it to the entry, just click the thumbnail.

I also made it so that the restore backup button is more prominent and include titles and category along with entry when restoring.

We Changed IP

It was a really terrible two days to the most awful customer service I have experienced in my life but we have switched up to a larger block of IPs at time warner. They wouldn't let me simply add new IPs, I had to relinquish the old ones in order to get the new ones.

Once they reset the modem I couldn't get into the server. I ran home but (e:terry) had taken my monitor to work and was not there so he couldn't bring it back. (e:joe) and I ended up carrying the television into the basement. There I was trying to setup bridged networking on the floor with a 50in TV and a mouse and keyboard which could not reach the group and dangled on a USB wire tether.

One thing after another, we finally got it up and then accidentally when removing the TV we pulled the plug on the server. Luckily after a while it came back up good. Apparently, the UPS is dead. Good to know.

Then the DNS service I am using only had 30 minute minimum TTL so we had to wait 30 minutes for that to update.

Everything is back to normal, please continue to enjoy. Our new IP is 50.75.140.76

Site Outage

The site will be down for the first time that I can remember in 5 years as the electricity at my house is being turned off to replace the circuit breaker today. It will come back on when the electricity is back.

Due to the sudden nature of the situation I didn't have time to move it somewhere offsite.

Drag/drop upload Firefox

Fixed the issue with the drag and drop upload on firefox. I didn't realize it was happening or I would have fixed it earlier.

Estrip Now Virtual On The New Server

If you are seeing this entry you are visiting estrip on its new centos 6, kvm based virtual guest on the new server. It probably doesn't mean much to most people but it is an exciting step forward in technology for me. I was up till around 5am getting everything moved. I still have a few finishing touches but most functionality works as expected.

The way virtual technology works I shouldn't have to spend much time moving estrip in the future and migrating it to a new host should be trivial.

Sorry about the outage

Someone plugged a high power dehumidifier into the same ups that the server was on and drained all the power. Should be okay now.

Fixed Signup Bug

I fixed the signup bug. It was caused by a change to the USPS site that I was using to validate the zip codes. They changed the site and the validation wasn't working any more. Thanks for reporting it (e:heidi) and Jolene.

metalpeter writes at 05:45:51 02/27/12 - Comment #67750: Party Pictures do go on here.... What I try to do most of the time is put them on here... Then anyone who likes there own pictures can take them and do what ever they want with them.....

In Terms of book of face: Now there are sometimes people on there who aren't on (e:strip) so the only pictures that get tagged are like Tony, Matt, Terry, Heidi, maybe Cyndi and me if I get myself a couple people who I know well and then there are some people who I know not to tag... The best way is to just tag Matt and terry and then people who know them or know people who know them and where at the party if they want can get pictures of them selves or check out the party Pictures... Also in the past there have been pictures that didn't go up on book of face........

So I will not tag you in anything and I also won't say like see that girl next to her well not her but the other one or anything like that....

jolene writes at 08:07:23 02/26/12 - Comment #67738: @ (e:tinypliny)-Ummm, yeah, that's internet-creepy all right. We probably have met before though.

@ (e:metalpeter)- I happen to know that NYE party pictures ended up on the Book of Face. How's that for internet-creepy? Hence my comment about tagging, but I appreciate your restraint none the less.

tinypliny writes at 04:38:26 02/26/12 - Comment #67733: LOL, yeah, I will find who you are one way or the other. (does that sound internet-creepy enough?) Actually, I think I might have met you before.

metalpeter writes at 01:05:16 02/26/12 - Comment #67725: One thing that I do like about (e:strip) is that there is no Tagging...... I also decided to not post a picture or to look for a picture with you in it.... Besides I'm sure you and (e:tinypliny) will meet or have meet before.... One of the great things about those parties is how there are all these people and no one can talk to everyone but how there are people you go oh I've seen them before.....

jolene writes at 01:52:57 02/25/12 - Comment #67713: "Tall, black hair and busty" is certainly accurate-I'll take it!
Pictures of me from NYE are not to be tagged or in any way identified...there are enough drunken pictures of me on the internet as it is!

And my favorite "Jolene" song :
:::link:::

Thanks for fixing the bug, and no worries (e:metalpeter), I'm a pacifist...

metalpeter writes at 07:59:57 02/24/12 - Comment #67709: Well the hair was black but can't remember if one would call it long..... When she does join she may pull an (e:tinypliny) and murder me slowly with ax blows to the neck...HA

tinypliny writes at 07:07:52 02/24/12 - Comment #67708: So tall black hair (tall and black hair? or long black hair), busty and "showing off the goods (A bootleg Samsung Galaxy tab?) in a red top"

yeah, not helpful. Unless you can pinpoint her in one of your snaps!

metalpeter writes at 06:29:34 02/24/12 - Comment #67707: @(e:tinypliny) If memory serves you where both at the same party Maybe New Years or the new Years before Red Top showing off the goods in fact I kinda remember a conversation I think about Jolene like the song at said party... At the time I had no idea it was a Dolly song and think I had heard someone not her sing it Matt knew it was Dolly who sang it.... But again parties tend to blend together and alcohol blends them together even more.... Well I heard of Rumor of the drink till you pass out St. Pats day Parade...HA ..Party.. Kidding on that one

heidi writes at 06:20:34 02/24/12 - Comment #67706: Yes, we all know you've been neglecting your real-life (e:strip) responsibilities. :-p I hadn't heard the Mindy Smith version of Jolene - thanks! (e:Metalpeter) described the (e:peep)-to-be Jolene accurately. She was trying to sign up the other night and was having validation trouble.

tinypliny writes at 06:12:44 02/24/12 - Comment #67705: that reminds me that I haven't been to the last 2 parties or so now. :/

tinypliny writes at 06:12:07 02/24/12 - Comment #67704: I have heard that white stripes version but I think I like the Mindy Smith version the best!

tinypliny writes at 06:11:20 02/24/12 - Comment #67703: Very tall, black hair and busty?

Oh well, that just tells me it's not even remotely me.

metalpeter writes at 05:49:17 02/24/12 - Comment #67701: Well that is a good song.... Guessing you may know the Alison Krauss version the white stripes do a pretty good version as well....

Now in terms of the name Jolene (not sure if she has an (e:peep) name or account yet or currently) but was at this last party and the one before.... I can describe her as very tall black hair and what is the nice way to say it very busty.....

tinypliny writes at 11:44:05 02/24/12 - Comment #67690: Yikers. I had no idea it was a dolly parton song! that was completely unexpected.

I was thinking of this one: :::link::: I loved the guitar riffs and mainly her beautiful voice.

heidi writes at 11:02:56 02/24/12 - Comment #67689: Thanks!

(e:tinypliny) :::link:::

tinypliny writes at 03:01:37 02/24/12 - Comment #67687: Jolene... vaguely familiar name. A song, perhaps? Jolene. Jolene? Can't remember too well.

Multi File Upload Flash Button Fix

It works again. You are welcome IE and Safari ~~users~~ losers.

metalpeter writes at 05:03:24 07/14/11 - Comment #63585: Recently some stories or pictures I hit like on have had the google+ symbol but I don't know if that makes a link to that page and ads a picture or if it gives it a tittle or if it tells google+ that it is an interest so.... I think all you tech people should check it out.....

heidi writes at 12:40:51 07/14/11 - Comment #63569: I've seen the little +1 icons around but I don't think that constitutes sharing?

ah... the google does not fail: :::link:::

tinypliny writes at 12:33:49 07/14/11 - Comment #63568: That's a LOT of code! and a LOT of time!

tinypliny writes at 12:33:16 07/14/11 - Comment #63567: That is one huge mass of code... I now get why you weren't so keen to give up in spite of my devious arguments.

paul writes at 06:25:32 07/13/11 - Comment #63562: Wow, what a turn around (e:tinypliny). You were all rip it out and trash it last night, lol. You have no idea how complicated the whole thing is. To through it out would have been such a defeat.

I had to wrote the actionscript code a couple years back to make the button. Then there is a javascript api that calls that. Then there is the backend and the drama we dealt with last night with the drag/drop vs flash upload data properties.

Here is the actionscript source :::link::: and :::link:::

And here is the javascript part that talks to it :::link:::

And here is how you would use it :::link:::

(e:heidi) I can make the comments and posts that mention a peep copy to them. I must have missed that before. As for the google plus thing, I will have to look into it if I ever go back. Do they have a share api like facebook and twitter have on estrip?

metalpeter writes at 05:38:48 07/13/11 - Comment #63560: That being said.... I wish I had a way to post something to both here and facebook with out posting here and then linking it to facebook... There are thing on here that have no reason and that shouldn't be on facebook so sharing means some of those could be on there..... I don't think this is a facebook, (e:strip), Twitter thing I think it is tech end thing that .... There isn't like a program where you like grab you data (pictures or what ever) compose it and it posts it everywhere.....

metalpeter writes at 05:34:42 07/13/11 - Comment #63559: I wish I had time to find someone cool to send me an invite to Google+ not that I even have gmail but that being said I would never have the time to use that and facebook and there are (yes a lot of no good evil things and people I follow on facebook) so don't think I want to really try google+ wish I had the time for both

tinypliny writes at 12:04:53 07/13/11 - Comment #63554: Actually I used it on chrome. It's pretty handy and I realized that I have missed this feature now that it has come back. :)

heidi writes at 12:00:58 07/13/11 - Comment #63553: Dear (e:news),

Thank you for fixing this functionality (that I would never use b/c IE sucks and Safari is superfluous) and the link color.

Now that g+ is a player, I want to be able to post stuff to (e:strip) and g+ at the same time. And I want (e:strip) posts and comments that mention an (e:peep) to notify the (e:peep). That's all. ;-)

tinypliny writes at 11:46:04 07/13/11 - Comment #63552: Heh, I just used. I kind of like it. All your hard work last night was totally worth it. thanks :-)

yours gratefully losing,
TP
