I decided to extract the chat from the site into a side project I am working on called p:chat. You can alsoaccess it from the top of the freedom chat. It allows you to start a private chatroom. You just pick a username and a chat roomname. If someone else signs into the same chat room name, then you can chat with them.



I also totally redid the inner working of the site's AJAX based chat system. Instead of working with the previous elaborately involved timestamp scheme and xmlHTTP text responses it now uses fully compliant xml packets to identify each line of the chat.

Soon I will release new chat features including a chat based trivia game.

[size=m]Site Video Section[/size]
We need new videos for the video section ( on the linkbar ) of the site. The ones there are so old and are getting stale. I would like to have some new ones up within the next two weeks.

Some street interviews would be great if anyone wants to do some. (e:mike) has a camera, I have a pro street recorder mic, we basically would just need a reporter to interview the people. It would help if it was a woman as we noticed the people open up when a woman is asking the questions. If anyone has some ideas for what questions we should ask, feel free to comment.

[size=m]Journal Forwards[/size]
For the last couple years people have had the ability to forward journal entries with all associated media as an email by clicking on the email icon at the bottom of any entry. In fact that icon has been clicked on over 28,800 times yet only 9 people went through with sending the journal as an email. Are the instructions not good or is it not useful. Or do people not know about it. I know I used it to forward the directions for (e:theecarey)'s party to my email. DOes anyone have some feedback about this feature. How can I make it more useful/used.

I was really bored in the library today and decided to make a new theme. I am pretty sure its done, although I make make some slight alterations. Caramel Apple is now the default theme. If you have the site set to another theme and want to switch, simply click on the caramel candy icon in the themes bar at the top right of the home page.

On another note, will someone write to Buffalo.com and see if they can get the site listed. It is not like we need the link to generate traffic but it kills me that we are not part of something called Buffalo.com considering we have been around for years, are all about Buffalo and now have over 11,000 journal entries. At one point they told me the site was too personal. We only had about 5,000 entries back then, haha. Maybe someone wants to take over PR altogther. That would be fantastic. I just want to be a programmer/designer not a business man/PR advocate.

Fixed the profile so that it is easier to fill out and the update button works on linux again. As always, you can edit your profile, update your userpic, and upload a usersound by clicking on your userpic when logged in.
