Browser Stats for estrip
Category: web
Firefox still is the top. Look how few people visit with safari. Reading mac news sites you would think it was like 90% of the web, lol.

Chrome is still nothing

However, I am srprised to see how many people are using IE 6 but then I realize that Roswell Park, where a bunch of us work, is still stuck back in 2001 browser technology land and it makes sense.

i hate IE 6. And now that apple has upgraded .mac to MobileMe, the webmail DOES NOT RUN in IE 6. In IE 7 you get a warning that it would be better in firefox/safari. but 6 just doesn't go at all.

Which sucks, b/c all the computers in Kaleida have IE 6 on them, and are locked down so you can't install anything else.

it blows.

WHOA. Hey! There are people who can't afford one of those overpriced Macs on here, you know?
fing - 09/10/08 21:24
I visit on my Blackberry all the time. I don't see that on there???? I really think that we just need more people on this site to buy Macs. Maybe the Mac should be the official estrip computer

That's all.
tinypliny - 09/10/08 20:52
I went around Roswell's neanderthal policies and installed Firefox on my workstation. (Yeah, you can do that without admin rights. :D)
metalpeter - 09/10/08 18:51
There is depending on how you count it another reason or reasons a lot of people Use Internet Explorer. Since that is what they have at work they are use to using it so when they compute at home they use the same thing. Also Firefox would be something you have to go download and see how it works and get used to it. I bet in terms of Safari there are a bunch of people who don't know they have it. I will use it some times. If you use an ipod like was used on this computer that is how you might get it.
jim - 09/10/08 11:14
I'm in Safari :)

Make that 2,580 just now.

The cost of estrip this month
Category: server
Holy crap. My first FIOS bill from Verizon to serve estrip came today and it is $321!!

That is for one month and some weeks of service, plus setup fee, plus router, plus taxes. It looks like it will be about $115.00/month. So if anyone wants to/can donate that would be awesome as I pay for that all out of pocket. You can donate by clicking on the donate link above the userpics to the right.

The move is complete
Category: server
The new server is now running over at (e:fing)'s It should be much faster than before. Tell me if you notice anything weird.

Now that I pay $100/month for estrip.org you all should entertain me with more journals or donate.
ajay - 07/11/08 12:13

fing - 07/03/08 15:35
When I was looking in Amherst I hoped that one day I would be an ISP. All of my wildest dreams have come true. All thanks to Estrip.org...or is it eatstrip.com ;)
mrmike - 07/03/08 15:05
Yea! (e:fing) for living out in a Fios rich suburb
tinypliny - 07/03/08 14:34
Kewl. Congrats!!
I am not sure how entertaining my dull journals are so I took the alternate route. :)

Estrip Downtime on thursday
Category: server
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.
leetee - 07/01/08 06:55
FIOS... cool...

Uhm... do you mean Thursday or Tuesday? I can live without estrip *sob* honestly, i can...

enknot - 06/07/08 00:19
I miss the hell out of you guys, and Meg and I are going to try and get there, but if we can't both make it I'll be there...
fellyconnelly - 06/04/08 12:13

libertad - 06/03/08 21:36
I could come but I do have to work and march in the parade the next day .
mrmike - 06/03/08 20:24
Hope springs eternal
tinypliny - 06/03/08 20:13

boxerboi - 06/03/08 18:58
i'm there if tinypliny will be my date
metalpeter - 06/03/08 17:34
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.
jenks - 06/03/08 15:08
i have a work party that afternoon, and I don't know how late it will go, but maaaaybe....
joshua - 06/03/08 12:36
When is the parade anyway? I never know until I hear the house music thumping during the pre-parade parade the day before.
ladycroft - 06/03/08 11:52
i'm not in the country until june 11th. guess i'll miss everyone :(
fellyconnelly - 06/03/08 10:55
this is the closest i'm going to get to the gay pride parade, i'm definetely in!
lauren - 06/03/08 10:21
definite possibility for us although i have to admit I might be interested in some post dyke march dancing in da club :)
leetee - 06/03/08 10:11
I'm free... i thought the orientation for my new job was going to be, as they said, "nine consecutive days", but it turns out that means, in NY State government speak, "nine consecutive business days". (e:uncutsaniflush) has to work the next morning though... :(
brit - 06/03/08 06:29
