Category: error
Vincent, I am so sorry I accidentally deleted you journal. Luckily, I back up the server each night so I can restore you to yesterday this afternoon.

--update - I restored all the text of your journal and you stats, I will finsih restoring comment when I get home from my friend sang's graduation.

I am so sorry please don't hate me, it was a total freak accident.

Added commas, comments, deleted peeps
Category: estrip
Total Views Approaches 3,000,000
Let's have a 3,000,000 journal viewing since 12/03 party. Seeing as I never paid attention to the total views stats before, i have no idea how fast this will happen. If you are logged in and viewing your own journal, it doesn't add to the views. So these are other people viewing your journals.

Bumper Stickers
The 300 magnetic bumper stickers shipped yesterday so they should be here some time next week.

Commas in Stats
I also added commas to all the statistic numbers in the data stripe at the top of the site. The numbers were getting unruly without them. Thanks to the PHP number_format() function

Comment Stats
Then I added the total number of comments to the front page, the total number of comments on eahc journal to the journal, and the total number of comments posted by each user.

Deleted Peeps
I also deleted a good 100 peeps tonight after ample warnign about not using their accounts ever. That frees up their usernames againa nd reduces the amount of crap I have to backup when I backup the server.

Her journal is still on the site at her request (e:soyeon)
metalpeter - 05/20/06 18:18
Question the other day Soyeon who left the site was on the list of 100+ and all her journals where back, since she left the site did you delete her? It seems strange to add all that back just to delete her. Just wondering?

Did you delete Vincent by accident?

Google Maps Update
Category: estrip
I changed it so that all map links automatically default to hyrbid satellite/street map view. You don't have to do anything to update your old map links.

Speaking of map links. Anyone post to remember buffalo

I like how the panels are side-by-side rather than top and bottom.

Artvoice Best of Buffalo
Category: artvoice
First of congratulations to buffalopundit for winning best blog. I appologize that (e:lilho) stared booing. Turns out she didn't even vote,lol.

I requested that no one vote for us as best blog being that we are a blogging community and not a blog. That put us in much steeper competition for best web site, which we also lost.

No matter what the party was excellent and the food was delicious. Escpecially the ribs from BW and the sushi from Tsunami.

duh, i get it now. paul is posting about the blog community which makes it "news" - not paul's journal...double duh.
olemanrunin - 05/08/06 19:18
Did Paul get swallowed up by the "News", ie the news journal?
