There might be some downtime for estrip.org on tuesday. I am going to be moving to server from Artvoice to a private residence on a new business FIOS acct I opened for estrip. This might cause some downtime depending how I end up doing the DNS switchover.
Don't worry - nothing will go be lost - the server is just physically moving locations.

First of all (e:ladycroft) sounds like from the date you will be In the states I will get to see you.
(e:josuha) The parade is on Sunday I think people line up sometime in the morning at Kleinhans. The Dykes on Bikes parade is Saturday night maybe 7 or 7:30ish.
If there is a party that night of the 7th I'm free from what I know of.

Estrip short outage possibleCategory: estrip
Paul,
Just a heads up, one of our two T1 circuits is totally out, so we're essentially running at half speed. Just in case you noticed any slowdowns, that'd be why... I just discovered there isn't so much as link lights from the telco on the circuit card so not good news...
I'm working with Level3 to see what's up - they did warn they might have to do "intrusive troubleshooting" - i.e. take the circuit offline and test it in loopback mode. Last time we had a problem like this, they insisted on testing the good circuit as well as the trouble one, leaving us totally disconnected... so if they go that route again there might be a brief (few minutes) of total outage. Here's to hoping not... that's all I know so far though, but figured I'd pass it on.

Quick Stats Overview of EstripCategory: stats
So I have been doing lots of Adobe Flex 
stuff and I wanted to see what version of flash player people had to see if it was worth using Flex for estrip dev and I noticed that the Flash 9 player is used by 99%+ of userw. That is some seriously insane market penetration. Thanks youtube and xtube. I freakin love Flex. I am so excited about like more excited than I have been about anything web in so long.
Here are some visitor stats
Notice that Firefox is now more popular than IE!
Over one year, the traffic is steadily growing.

I find it totally frustrating that this irate person who cannot provide me with the information required to handle the situation. I am not afraid of her attorney. We have been through this before. Why would should not have provided me with the link in the first place?

Then I said:
I am willing to work with you on this. But if you do not give me the link to the blog, I cannot help you. How do you expect me to be able to locate the blog or the girl from the description you have given me in the last two contacts? Do you expect me to search for all blogs over 1 year old written by a girl.

Here is my take the person who wrote in claims that the person who wrote the blog stalked and harresed her but the person who wrote the blog says it is the other way around. So one or both of them are lying and you shouldn't have to figure it out. I also think that the blog should stay up. I think if she doesn't want it to show up in search results she should get in touch with google and not you, what happens when you search for her name on ask, or yahoo or is it only google. If it is only google then she needs to be contacting them not you. I don't run the site but I wouldn't do anything except to maybe tell her that you don't control a search engine and she should contact them instead.

Any slim sympathy I might have had for her is entirely removed by the fact that, indeed, she never tells you what post, what user, what entry, anything. She doesn't even tell you her name so you could Google it yourself!! (And even still, are you expected to scroll through the forty pages of results that come up, and figure out which one it is? Christ, all you've got to go on is that her name is probably Jennifer. For fuck's sake!)
The fact that it's a user who never posts is making it so much more likely that you're going to know the person.
I have this problem all the time at work: people think that they are the only person you are ever going to have to deal with, and are always shocked, and often offended, when you mention that actually you deal with hundreds of people in a day, most of whom have THEIR EXACT PROBLEM. They really hate it when you finish their sentences, too, as they struggle to describe their unique issue. "I know," I say. "I've had four calls just like this today. Here's what I told the others."
"But I [random detail]," they say.
"Yes, that's typical."
"... Oh."
The sensible ones are reassured, the less-so are offended. You know what? You're a unique fucking snowflake, sure, but there are a damn lot of snowflakes out there and they're pretty similar really. Get over yourself.
... Man I'm just on a rant rampage today. :D
