There were lots of peeps in the chat tonight. Welcome to the site all you new peeps. If you need any help getting started feel free to contact (e:paul) or just talk with anyone in the chat.



P.S. If anyone still wants to donate for the memory upgrade chips (e:news,932) feel free to donate with paypal by clicking on the donate link above the latest 12 list. So far (e:twisted) is the only donator besides (e:imk2) who regular donates.

I updated the server but didn't get to upgrade it much. I did however get to clean out a nasty bunch of dead bug bodies that had somehow gotten inside it.

I purchased some more RAM for the server but it didn't come yet so I will have to make another trip over to artvoice soon. Now we will have a full 2GB of ECC 800mhz RIMM chips which should be enough for anything.



They ended up costing (Approximately US $194.96) on ebay. If anyone wants to donate it would be awesome. Just click the donate button above the top ten list and you can donate with paypal. This should be the last memory purchase for this server because that's the max it takes.

For some reason all of these little fruit flies lived inside the server but died. I am not sure what is unsustaining about a hot plastic.



There is still lots of space but I wouldn't mind upgrading he drives to some speedier ones. The ones in there are compusa specials.


The CPUS - all four of them seem fine - the spikes are something from the x windows programs that were running. The server doesn't usually have x windows running.


HEre is the server's new home


This is the artvoice internet pipeline and where the server used to live on the basement floor. I am so glad it lives upstairs now.

On Thursday night the the site will be down for a while after 6PM in order to perform some routine maintenance on the server. We are going to be relocating the server from one floor to another at Artvoice, then I will be doing some backups and upgrades followed by bringing the site back up. During that time, the site will be unavailable.

Hey there (e:peep),

If you haven't written in your elmwoodstrip.org journal in a long time, the New Year is a great time begin again. There are some brand new features such as being able to include youtube and google videos on your journal, as well as, a handy dandy multiple media file upload utility. And don't forget you can always visit and use elmwoodstrip.org from your mobile phone as well. Just visit elmwoodstrip.org.wap (on an old mobile phones) or elmwoodstrip.org/xhtml (on a newer HTML capable) mobile phone.

For those of you that are serial writers, and we know there are a lot of you out there, do you ever login into elmwoodstrip.org and want to write, want to connect, but just don't know what to write about.

Well we are starting to create a list of topics to help you through those awkward moments of writers block. And we need your help.

With three low monthly installments of $49.99. ... just kidding...

We are hoping that each of you can take a little bit of your time and come up with some ideas to add to the topic collection.

Here are some examples:

Back on my first day of school...

How I like to stay warm in the winter...

This my favorite picture of myself because...

When I used to be...

If money wasn't an issue...

This a perfect day because...

The greatest accomplishment of my life is...

I knew this person, that was so underappreciated...

I am so pissed off at the world today because...

Add your ideas as comments on this journal or reply to the email that was sent to you about this.

NEW YEARS EVE PARTY
On another note - we are having a new years eve party at the mansion. Don't forget to mark your calendars. Everyone is invited. BYOB.

In honour of (e:kara)'s comment on my journal about the wii, I have added a new gvideo tag to your tag options in the journal entry box.

It works just like the youtube tag with the id of the video in the tag and makes a google video player. Here is the funny playstation 3 vs nintendo wii video. e.g.
