Linky Dinks
Category: web
Can some of you with access to other web sites add links back to estrip? I am playing with google analytics and want to see how it affects it. You could use the sticker code on the front page of estrip below the comments section or just make your own links.

Our current google page rank is 4. I want to know how much more it takes to make it 5.

Thanks,
Paul

Safari For Windows
Category: web
Safari For Windows just came out which makes it a lot easier to keep everything the same on all platforms. It is really time for IE to catch up or shut down their browser development.

The safari CSS problem at the top of the site has been resolved now that I could easily test it.

I also have not seen the safari quit bug in this build which goes along with what (e:carlonian) was saying about it not being in the latest apple build and means that it was most likely a safari bug.

I have noticed that safari is a bit faster than firefox but it is unfair comparing my highly customized, extension rich firefox to a default build of safari.

I wonder if we will see safari for linux?

Apparently, investors would have been happier with new hardware and 3rd party app development, instead of web devel for the iphone. It would be nice to not need one to develop though.

i have been trying forever to get VPN access for hospital stuff from home. I've installed the cisco client and it lets me connect, but i don't get any apps. They claim mac support, but it doesn't work, and when i call, say to use the web-vpn instead. So i do, but nothing works, and they say 'oh yeah, it's only available for windows, and only for IE."

WTF- ONLY for IE?
How retarded.

Well, it is hard to have buyers remorse for something you do not own yet, lol. Really though, I do like OS X and I hate windows. I have used Linux now for a long time, and OS X seems to offer most of the features I want from a UNIX based OS and more but without all the need for complicated configuration. I am totally willing to pay $129 for that considering the amount of time I spend tweaking the linux box and getting stuff working. I sounds nice just to have a hastle-limited OS.

I mean my current laptop is now configured exactly how I want it with Suse 10.2 but I would dread having to do that again with a new proprietary hardware system. It was so long before I could get the drivers to do all the things I wanted on this and even just configuring the trackpad was a pain.

Did you guys know the govt/edu price for OS X is only $69.

I am glad you are not expressing buyers remorse since Safari is now on windows.

Sorry about that multi image bug today
Category: bug fix
The multi-file image upload is back. I would have fixed it earlier in the day but I had to go get drunk at Thursday n the Square first. For future reference, whenever something is broken on the main site, you can always do almost everything from the mobile site. e.g. upload images, publish journals, read comments, chat, messages, etc

The bug
For the technies out there you might find it interesting that as of firefox 2.0.0.3 you cannot use the externalInterface calls on flash objects from javascript unless the flash file is showing. It took me forever to figure that out. That is dumb as far as I am concerned. I can't even tell if it is a bug or a feature seeing as they don't mention it anywhere.

Anyhow, to get around it I move the 1px wide flash files around so that it is always in view in the newest version of surebert.sticker.js once, you see it, it can go out of view and still work. So much for that. The new version of surebert took advtage of this but I had forgot to upgrade to that version when I made the changes last night.

I know I keep saying I have all this updates coming but I really do I am just waiting on having a new powerbook later in June so that I can easily test all the operating systems at once. The key will be having 3GB of ram!

The newest surebert 1.56 forgoes the obfuscation and just strips comments, gzips and caches the js files. They just as fast and it is all automated. In the new version of estrip the css will done the same.

So it works again. Have fun.

Now that 0.0.4 is out, is the "Flash must be showing" bug still in effect?

Some Updates
Category: estrip
The journal area now stretches the whole way down past the user data.

I am now compressing surebert with gzip instead of javascript.

The themes and latest journal box is no longer pushed down in Safari.

Hopefully, in three weeks I will have a mactop and can do more testing in safari, although I think the site generally works in it.

Maybe I will opensource textBling tomorrow.
