Well, (e:kara) our new Public Relations director and I were talking about some improvements for getting estrip out there and one of the things was bumper stickers. I had put it off for a while because elmwoodstrip.org was too long for the design I wanted. For about 4 years I wanted to call the site estrip.org but I couldn't buy it as someone had it reserved. Then when talking with (e:shawnr) I checked estrip out at godaddy and it was for sale so I bought it.

Soon you will be able to get here by typing estrip.org into your browser. But best of all it is just the right length for the new bumper stickers. They will look something like this. I might change the font but tahoma is what I use for estrip so it makes sense.



I designed them two color so we should be able to get away with around $100, if we raise more money, I will just buy additional bumper stickers

If you would like to donate to the bumper sticker fund, please click on the donate link above the latest entries list and donate whatever you can via paypal.

Sidenote: I got rid of the userpic control panel. It's back to clicking on your userpic to change it.

Here is a fun statistic to think about.

If you read an average of 200 words per minute
which is 12,000 words per hour
which is 288,000 per day
which is 2,880,000 per 10 days of non stop reading

you still would not be done reading the journals of estrip, and that doesn't even include the chat!

For those of you that read all of those, and I know there are some of you that have, congratulations - you deserve an award.

Happy almost 3,000,000 words. I am going to dig up some more statistics toinight. Liek how many of those words were thumbed out on mobile keypads. It hurts my thumbs to think about it.

I fixed the usersound upload feature and added a feature so you can redownload it before you change it if you lost the original. That way you can redownload it if you want.

I noticed the RSS feed on (e:dragonlady)'s livejournal feed had messged up apostrophe's that resulted when I was stripping the ampersands for some javascript I was using it for before.

It's all okay now, but (e:zobar), you should delete the cache for that wherever it is so that can re-cache.

Thanks (e:terry) for bringing it up. You can now you a normal letter e with colon in a sentence.

e.g. A woman on a cell phone:
