PHP 5.1.4 upgrade
Category: estrip

Today is the day the new PHP 5.1.4 has entered my life. We are at version 5.1.2 on (e:strip) and moving on to version 5.1.4 this evening. I already installed it on all the windows servers at work. Now I need to compile it for the (e:strip) linux server which is much more of a chore. I am glad I didn't bother for 5.1.3 as there was a major bug with $_POST variables that would have made a mess of my life.

Finally this version lets you ignore errors thrown by GD when working with jpegs. Anyone who has worked with mobile phone images knows that this is a blessing. Also some upgrades to simplexml for creating nodes and attribute. Here

is the whole changelog since PHP 5.

Hopefully, everything turns out great like every other PHP upgrade we have had since version 4.0.3.

Sorry about the outage
Category: outage

Something happend at artvoice and all their network connections went down - so our site went down too. Maybe (e:zobar) knows more about it. Seems to be back now and everything looks okay.

Fixed the email
Category: estrip

I fixed it so that the email properly reports who it was sent from. There was a bug where the sender was showing up blank.

Maybe we will win?
Category: artvoice

I was looking at the other competition for best local blog and I think there is a possibilty of winning. It all depends of how people perceived the meaning of blog. We are more of a blogging community.

I think we have a lot going over

but I think we have some still competition from

and

However, I personally voted us for best local website and I have a feeling lots of the readers did to, so that probably reduced our overall votes in the best local website category.

I honestly cannot believe buffalo.com, buffalohaybars.com and buffalobarfly are on the best website list.

Well, best of luck. See you at the event.

I admit I havn't been to Buffalobarfly in a long time but it used to be verry good. It had a lot of hot quality bar shots of guys and girls and you could buy the pictures and you would get like the first 10 free. They also had some pictures up from Shreed and Regean that where two risque fot the EDGE's web site back then. They used to be a great site no idea how they are now. I always want to take shots like that when I'm out but feal not Pervy enough maybe I should start. Buffalo used to be a verry good site also but now it is mostly only news and the same news as the Buffalo News site but I bet when you look up Buffalo on web searchs a lot of people get it. I'm not saying that it deserves to win but when a lot of people use it, it gets a lot of votes. The same thing as buffalo bar fly. It isn't really a whats best catogory it is what is most popular or best known catogory.
