The non-mobile version of the site should work normal in Linux Konqueror now. I switched it to use the old upload system for konqueror.
There is still no sound in Konqueror but other than that it is normal.

Quick fix for Explorer CommentsCategory: bug fix
I fixed the IE error that would not let you open up a new comment. It appears that IE reports an image as having a href property. That is lame. I was using it like if the thing you clicked doesn't have an href use its parents href. But because the image was falsely reporting having an href property it was opening the image instead of the comment box. All the other browsers handled it properly. Instead of asking if it had an href property I asked if it did not have an src property.

Commercial Free Public SpaceCategory: advertising
Chris,
We do not advertise on estrip. It is one of our main objectives to maintain a commercial free public space as we have done for four years. Your site has advertisements on it in the form of google ads.
From a web design/programming perspective, your site is not unique enough to warrant talking about it. It is basically yet another vBulletin with google ads clone.
Sorry,
Paul Visco

Site Statistics Using Google AnalyticsCategory: estrip
I can't believe the site has been around for four years. When I first thought of it after reading about The Well in Howard Rheingolds book virtual Communities (The whole book is online) , I thought - I could never make anything so cool. It is crazy that the well started in 1995. When listening to the book, yes I had the computer read it to me in that computer voice I so love, I envisioned it being so far away in the past. Of course it could not have been considering the visual internet really started around 1995. Well I was wrong. There are some great chapters about the minitel experince in france. I would suggest anyone who gets a chance , checks out the book.
So the real point of this journal is google analytics. I use my own software to calculate the actual users usage of certain features but I pretty much stopped logging web data a couple months ago other than journal views and browser types as so much of it became spam.
I am trying to track the stats for the site using Google Analytics and really enjoy the graphs it makes. Best of all it is free. We have such a strange pattern of users. I am totally amazed that almost everyone has Flash player 8 or 9. It was never liek that before. I think that youtube made this change happen. Just about everyone seems to go to youtube and youtube requires flash player 8 or greater. After one month I will post more of the data but it is hard to see the trends yet. Who the fuck uses netscape nowadays?
1. Firefox 49.46%
2. Internet Explorer 38.54%
3. Safari 7.28%
4. Mozilla 4.04%
5. Netscape 0.27%
6. Opera 0.27%
7. Konqueror 0.13%
I was also amazed that 99.3% of visitors have a java runtime engine installed. I am going to start using java I think for some applet stuff. I was concerned that people would not have the JRE but I guess I was wrong.
So far it looks like most people get here by just going right to the address itself. The rest seem to come from google. This is no surprise as their are no lnks to the site form anyone accept for foreverelmwood.com and a very few others.
Here is a map of the location of the people visiting estrip.org. I know who most of the dots in other cities are and of course a couple of the people are random googlers that found it. Today we had some visitor from Compton, CA and Sao Paul Brazil. It is so weird to see people from other places come here. What do they think of it?

i hate youtube. i never go there for fun, only when i have to, like to post a video (which i did once) or to view someone's video. otherwise i hate it. i hate the quality of the videos, i hate the vibe of the site, i hate it's culture. i hate it much more than myspace, which i hate a whole lot. i hate the word hate too, but i love estrip!

Wow I wish i had a good idea. The only thing that I can think of is have an (e:strip) reunion. What I mean is a party for everyone on (e:strip) or anyone who used to post and stoped or left the site or did like one journal and never posted again or who posts but never goes to parties (like me in the past). The reason I say this is I don't remember who but I know there are some people who post but don't read that often and just the opposite is true also.
The thing I wonder is how many of the views come from people who never joined the site or are outside visitors. I assume that each time I click on a journal that isn't mine it counts as a view but what happens if I click on the button to read comments is that counted as another view? It would be interesting to know number wise and percent wise how many views are from people who arn't part of the site. I'm guessing that might take a lot of work so I'm not suggesting to really do that.
maybe something like the 10k party....except we could all dress as millionaire celebrities $$$
