Updates for Quickness

Here is a rundown for some of the (e:strip) v1.5 updates. Its not a huge change from v1.4 to v1.5 but there are some great improvements.

1. The (e:strip) logo at the top of the banne ris a link back to the elmwood journal/home page.

2. There is a new "QuickUpdate" button on the journals directly under the user's pictures. By clicking on it you bring up a pop up box which allows you to quickly add a journal entry wihtout having to access the more ocmplicated update page.

3. The traditional update page still accessed by the write button at the top, has had many upgrades. You now can update and delelte multiple journals at a time. This saves lots of time. I have also mmoved the uploaded images library to a separate window in order to speed up load time when doing text-only updates.

You may wonder . .

Where has paul been lately, what's going on? I have been searching for a cell phone. I have never wanted one before but now as they are getting more powerful I would like to start developing applications for them. In order to do that I would like to have a real one to test on.

Unfortunately, no service would offer me a no voice service but unlimited internet service. At first T-mobile agreed but then the manager said no. Which sucks. I really want to have wireless internet access via a bluetooth cell phone. Believe it or not, verizon does not offer bluetooth cell phones. Their phones seem to be really behind the times.

And T-mobile has the phones I want but not the service I am looking for. Basically, it means that you will not see cell phone features for (e:strip) yet. I was really hoping to allow people to update and read their journals via cellphones. But although, I have an emulator I could use for development, I will not be very motivated till I have a phone.

I seriously, cannot afford a phone for $39.00 a month, whn I know I would only make like 4 phone calls with it per month.

Update del Linux

So this is what happens when you get too close to your avatars head in seocndlife. You can see that you avatar has no brain.

Do you think that it means its also has no soul?

I finally got my voice recorder, the one that is going to change my life in way yet known to me. It is realy all I dreamed of. On the politically correct front, I moved the super comp on over to linux. So I had to say goodbye to some of my favorite programs, like Cinema 4D. Luckily maya runs of Linux and there is a freeware 3D app called blender. The whole purpose was to start a server, so some neat things will happen soon I hope.

The one thing that sucks about Linux is the Mp3 browsing apps. I want something just like iTunes. Unfrotunately, there isn't. Right now I am using Yammi, which I had to compile for Suse 8.2. Its better than nothign but still not my favorite. I also got icecast 2 to compile and work via oddcast with xmms to broadcast the radio station. I think it will go back on air this week. Hopefully, with better shows.

Iriitation

I am getting so irritated, the elmwood server is not responding right now. I need to update some stuff and it keeps on not connecing. I wish so bad that I could just ove this onto my computer at home. I mean I own a server, I just cannot afford a fast enough connection. Maybe something will change.

Parts of Second Life Missing?

Well, Since Second Life allowed digital artists to have control over their own productions I have only seen chaos. Well not really but the entire land next to my is missing. It is like a blank space. Either the serve rholding that land went down or someone sold the rights to Fox News, hahahaha. Anyways, I circled it in red so you can see what it look slike when a digital world is missing.

May the real Amy Goodman

Please Stand Up. I decided to make my Secondlife videos as commercials for (e:strip). I alsod decided seeing as we are working to bring Amy Goodman to Buffalo Radio, why shouldn't she be working to bring people to (e:strip) in return. Thus I created he virtual counterpart and now she will be in my advertisement. Unfortunately, I missed school today where I was going to show this. Hopefully, it all works out.

Media Conference

I felt so guilty being at the Media Conference

today while just a block away from my house, protesters met the Dick Chenney Wagon at the Park Lane. Apparently, there were over 300 protesters at the fund raising dinner where Chenney charged $1000 a plate. I heard on NPR that he raised $400,000 for him and Bush. Are their really 400 conservatives in Buffalo that can afford a $1000 dinner.

That is so wrong in a town that is so economically depressed. It is really makes the division of wealth very clear. I guarantee that Amy Goodman wont make $400,000 or even the needed $20,000. Whihc leads me to believ the left as just given up, is too busy with war conferences or is simply poor. i hope I am wrong and we get $400,000 for Democracy Now.

By the way the MeetMeat poster kind of looks like the proscuito hor d'oeurvs from the media conference reception.

Our very own Holly d'estrip is moderatoring for the event tommorow. I wish her luck, but I am sure it will be excellent.
