Right now sidekick 2s are available on amazon.com for $24.99 with a new service plan. I am sending this now from the sidekick 2, where with the developer license you can even email sound files recorded on the phone itself which can then be emailed directly to your journal.

The site was down for most of the night. I really need a fast reliable, reasonable cost host. The host we currently have changed something in the way that $_SERVER['TRANSLATED_PATH'] was reported. I changed all references to $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] and it worked. I wonder why it changed. It had worked in the code for months. Oh well.

I signed up for a new host at a site with PHP 5 so that I could recode the site to be more efficient by taking advantage of the new upgrades in PHP. Unfortunately, it is a bit more expensive so if anyone wants to donate feel free to click on the donate link at the top of the page, any bit helps and would be greatly appreciated. If you want to donate in some other non-paypal way please feel free to contact (e:paul) .

I just wante dto go over some recent updates for people who didn't knwo about them.

[size=m]Restaurant Review[/size]
I added the restaurant links to the top, which links to the epeeps peer based restuarant review system

[size=m]Estripbot[/size]
I added the bot link to the top, so that people can easily get to the estripbot and add it to their buddy list on aim. For those of you that don't knwo the estripbot is an aim robot created by (e:ajay) that allows people to communicat ewith the site itself and ask qeustions. The estripbot can tell you who is online, read you the last 20 posts, tell you the weather and more. just type help when talking to it, to find out what commands are avaialable.

[size=m]Inlinks[/size]
The inlink code needed to link to another journal is now printed at the bottom of every journal entry. You can also click on the chain link icon next to it, in order to have the links stored in your epad for later use.

[size=m]epad[/size]
.Your epad is your own personal notepad on the web. You can access it from anywhere and save text to it. At any point you can back up the text by sending it to your email via the supplied form. To get to your epad, click on the little pad icon in your control panbnel or visit elmwoodstrip.com/epad

[size=m]Others[/size]
News journal - The link to the news journal has been moved to your contorl panel. People visiting the site will see its link highlight in the top twelve list when someone posts. The news journal is the only group journal on the site. Any epeep can post to it using the little newspaper page icon in your control panel.

News journal - The error which denied some people the ability the edit their user links on their journals has been fixed thanks to (e:twisted) pointing ti out to me. To update your userlinks, which appear under your stat on your journal, simply click on the green pen icon next to the word links.
