Looks like (e:decoyisryan) wrote (e:strip)'s 4,000,000th word last night. I can't believe it has gotten this far. When I first wrote (e:news,29677) back in 2003 I never dreamed so many people would be so interested and pour out their emotions, hopes and frustrations. I definitely never though it would be going strong in 2007.
Thanks for making estrip a rewarding and meaningfull experience. Now if we could only turn each one of those words into dollars, just kidding.

Some updatesCategory: estrip
next prev 10 buttons work again
date select works again
public/draft mode eyeball icon at the bottom of each entry works again
sorry mobl posting via email is still under devel (e:dragonlady)
I need to tinker with the email server.
Lots of other backend updates that you will never know the difference about other than the site being snappier.

Work, work, workCategory: estrip
I updated lots of the backend code today. The site should be even faster to load journals now, not that it was particularly slow. I added some more stuff to my caching routine so that it would be nice for the database. I really cannot wait for the day when I have separate web and database servers.
I have a whole bunch more tricks up my sleeve. I will update more after I get back from San Francisco on April 2nd. Either that or I will die in a plane crash and (e:strip) will exist like this forever!
The mobile site comments section now fits with the rest of the mobile site. Remember the mobile version of the site is not just for people with mobile devices but for anyone with a slow connection or really old computer should be using that.
I know the (past chatter) link is gone. It is because the past chatter page is going to get a makeover next week. Maybe tomorrow before I fly but I doubt that. You will have to live in the present, lol.
Wish me luck that I find an amazing job making a million dollars and never come back. Just kidding, I am not even looking.

I was thinking the same thing (the part about dying in a plane crash, that is), so I bought Willmaker Plus from nolo press. (I know, I know -- I should have made a Will long ago since there's no co-owner with right of survivorship on my building. Which means if anything happened to me, my family would be screwed. But I've been busy commuting the death valley corridor to Napa the past 2 months, haha.) Anyway, we can both write our Last Will and Testaments while you're here! It'll be fun! (Just kidding! I think that's enough morbid talk for one post.) Anyway, I'll give you a copy. I hope that doesn't commit me to some bad afterlife karma though...
p.s. - Good Luck!

Network was down for a bit last nightCategory: notification
It should be all okay now. Just got a message from Jake at artvoice.
Hi Paul,
I was working on our router last evening. One of the T1 serial interface cables still seems to be faulty, but I think connectivity should now be stable until I can get that fixed. I'll let you know in advance if I expect any further downtime.

Updates and problemsCategory: estrip
I updated a bunch of back-end stuff today. I also fixed the search and the surebert multi-file upload button glitch (e:imk2) was talking about. should be set to go now. If for some reason it cannot create the new multi-file upload it will automatically go back to the traditional file upload.
There was another problem with the server connection today but that wasn't my causing. I also couldn't ping artvoice for a while. I wrote them an email. Hopefully, it is resolved.

That only counts words in the journal entries themselves, I will add a tally for comments.
Question does the 4,000,000 words count only the journals words or are comments and or chat words also counted or factored into that count or do they have there own count? In any event that is a lot of words.
