Forever Elmwood Info

Robin,
In response to [inlink]robin,179[/inlink] .

A lot of (e:people) seem to have anomosity towards forever elmwood, especially when it involves the Elmwood Art Festival or the Coop. Maybe some of the rest of you know more about it? I missed the 80's on elmwood, so I can't really say how it was? How about the rest of you?

Who are the people in your neighborhood

Wow, we have so many new people here. We should plan some sort of social event. Trisha and I have been talking about a scavenger hunt with journal based clues, etc for couple months. Anybody else have an idea? It could be really fun to organize something like that with clues online and then al around the elmwood area.

I am also going to start prgramming the restaurant review section. I just need some inspiration from the chicken wing fairy, so I am heading off to Anchor to get started.

Mishaps in Banner Land

I was working on some stuff for the site when I logged out and realized the banners were not working when logged out. It happend after I fixed the banner code this morning. So that whole episode led to a 15 minute down-time period at around 8 o'clocl. I appologize to any of you who were logged on at that point. It's kind of emabrassing after we promoted so hard today, I hope no one went and found it closed.

Some of the (e:peeps) came over tonight for a corn and shrimp roast. We had some problems with the lighter fluid/coal situation and ended up with some weirdly toxic veggies. Everything else was delicious.

Maidencateyes, also added a banner, it's of a flower at Buffalo state. Kind of pink and purplish.

More people signed up. I think there are probably even more coming in the near future, as everyone is not as wired as me. Some people actually have to go home to use the internet. Must be a tragic life, I can't imagine anymore. Oh wait, I can imagine, that is what camping is like, lol.

UB Micro Windows XP Giveaway

Little did Holly and I know
that we actually already bought windows XP. Tina alerted me that As a
UB student we get free copies of Office XP Pro. Well free as in we
already paid for it with our student technology fee. So we headed out
today and got our copies. It only cost 3.00 for the CD and I got a copy
of Office 2003 Pro as well. What else am I paying for and don't know
about?

Sound Stuff

I am going to change all of the in journal sound player functions over to the flash plugin. I am so sick of the different system checks. Everytime I change something, I need to test it in Netscape (PC and Mac), safari, IE (PC and Mac), konquerer (linux), Mozilla Firefox (PC, Mac, and Linux.) There are always problems with different plugins for sound media.

Plus I really think that people don't always have the quicktime or equivalent plugin due to its bigger download size while the flash player seems to be everywhere and mostly preinstalled. Any feelings about this from the (e:peeps)? I know its not open source, but neither is quicktime and both are free.

Drinking Tent

We came to the Biddwell event and got a
bunch of interviews, here is a quick moblog capture of the drinking
tent. We handed out a bunch of lyers too. I think that we will have a
stand for the eelwmmod art festival. I kind of regret not having one
here

Before the Sun Went Down

We were walking down elmwood again and saw our neighbors that we didn't know were neighbors in the hood. We sat for a while and blew grass whistles.

Here is a link to the video, I want a streaming video server so bad. Anyone have a rich daddy with a T! connection? I have the fancy server, it justs needs to get a line. Maybe someday we can have a fundraiser and get money for the connection. Any ideas?

After the sun went down, the banner lit up, then the bulb burned out. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

Apartment madness

[inlink]maidencateyes,12[/inlink]

That apartment is sick. I feel bad for you guys, I remember when hodown told me about her situation with that guy and I couldn't believe how bad she described it. I was in germany at the time and couldn't fully apreciate how bad it was, these pictures really sum it up.

There are no rules except no death threats, hate speech, or porno. This guy deserves his name out. I think its fine, just tell it like it is.

JIll drew the sidewalk bush pic. Her journal has lots of drawings on it, they are all great.

More Dyke March Pics

We saw sb (e:sb,13) at the Dyke March, she rocks and so does her dance gang the Radikats? Correct me if I spelled it wrong. The main pics are on the news journal. I am also posting a link to a little video we took. Someday, if we ever have a fund raiser, we will get a streaming video server.

We also saw this car with lots of fibre glass food on top. What's weird is that it seemed to have no business markings. Do you think it''s just someones hobby.

While we were on the way down the street maidencateyes IM'ed me via my IM link in my link list under my userPic. She said that the jesus people were following the march but by the time they got down to our side of the hood, they were all gone. We'll see what's in store for tomorrow.

The rest of you should put up IM links, so we can all IM each other on the go.

Dyke March

This Picture is live from the annual dyke
march on elmwood. I took the pic with my cell phone, so sorry about the
picture quality. The picture is of the giant native ameriican statue
from the parade after it was taken down. Matthew took better ones with
the real cam, we will post them when we get home. For the first time
there were no Christian protesters, maybe its a sign for a good
weekend.
