Adobe labs released a new mac flash player today that address the file upload problem with leopard and flash player that I reported in (e:news,41833). Now all you leopard users including myself can go back to using the normal file upload system!
Just download and install it. Make sure you have you browser off when installing. It will prompt you about that.

Paul Visco Cashes Out Of Second LifeCategory: secondlife
As I promised I donated $500 to the server fund bringing us to a total of $1300.
I ended up cashing out of secondlife to do it. It was a surprising simple end to a long journey. I really didn't play anymore and the fact that my Linden Dollars had bcome worth so much seemed so arbitrary and fake, like it could just go poof any momment.
Bye, bye Apfeljung Longwell
Love,
Paul

Flash Upload and LeopardCategory: bug
Well, turns out there is a mac os 10.5 specific bug that is causing flash based multi uploads to not work on any browser in leopard. It prentends to work by letting you select the file but then it never pushes the file to the server Because, I cannot detect hat you are on leopard with the Firefox user agent. It looks the same on tiger and leopard, I am going to have to provide an old style file upload box option.
FOR NOW USE THE MOBILE VERSION OF THE SITE TO UPLOAD FILES ON LEOPARD.
Adobe is aware of this problem and is working on a fix. It is not limited to estrip multifile flash based uploads but happens on any site with flash uploading including Flickr.
I filed this bug report with Adobe.
[box]
This example from my javascript/flash toolkit worked on tiger no problem to upload small jpegs. It no longer works on leopard.
However, It is not limited to my surebert toolkit.
Another popular javascript/flash upload library called swfupload is also not working in leopard but worked in tiger.
Same for the flickr flash upload utility. The flash upload file selector box appears, but then it doesn't seem to send anything.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Try uploading
2. Try uploading a file
3. Try uplaoding images to flickr using their newer flash based upload utility.
Results: The files do not upload, no requests hit the servers access or error logs.
Expected results: The files should upload like they do on tiger[/box]
UPDATE
This has been resolved and there is a new version of the flash player for mac that you can download from adobe labs.

I need your help, please readCategory: fundraising
We need about ~$1300 to buy a new, older server.
This
is an example of what I am looking to buy. I plan on setting it up and then switching it out with the old one all upgraded and ready for the future.
It is really in everyone best interest that this happens so that we can have a safe backup server and a raid array as well. If you peeps can raise $500 altogether I will match it (in addition to a couple hundred hours of time) and we can get it going.
In return you get to know estrip will safely go on for another 3 years of serving and you can get a title and a gold star on your big userpic.
I am also going to try and sell some of my stuff to raise some additional money but any help is appreciated.
Or if anyone has any fundraiser ideas? Feel free to organize them.
HOW DO YOU DONATE?

Hey, I just chipped in a few bucks. I have no idea if you can tell that it was me, since my username and e-mail and all on paypal are totally different from on here. Anyway, I have no preference one way or the other if I get my name on the list or a star on my pic or whatever. Just wanted to let you know.

In addition to the paypal drive, maybe use google ads until you make enough money for the server? that way peeps who don't have cash to donate can still contribute to the cause just by viewing pages and clicking through. then we can feel good about all the time we waste (I mean, spend) on the site, knowing every page we view is another nickel toward the server. In that context, I think most peeps would not be as offended by the presence of ads as you think, but I've been wrong before. You know us californians and our grandiose ideas. it doesn't have to be a permanent fixture anyway. unless the yield is worth the impact, then you might want to keep them around to help defray costs. just a thought.

I thought I saw one in the window of um... one of the stores on my block that I never go into. They are around!
Also online as well -

I don't know anything about the site, but thats the t-shirt. Quick Google search does wonders.
I think the person who asked was a suburbanite who isn't familiar with the area, or simply is trying to create bullshit lingo that none of us that live here recognize.

I will hold a brief moment of silence for Mr. Longwell...
There, done!
I can't believe that you made money from something that doesn't exist. Who knows...it could all come crashing down tomorrow and you would have nothing. Right?
Gasp, I can't believe you finally did it!
