Buffalo News Article I MissedCategory: estrip
Somehow I missed this 
Buffalo News article that mentioned estrip.
Buffalo News article that mentioned estrip.(E:strip):
This is the self-proclaimed "original neighborhood blogging community" of Buffalo - inspired specifically by the Elmwood Village strip.
A fairly sophisticated site, it allows for image, sound and video embedding, as well as a mobile/dial-up site for the blogger who just can't wait until he or she gets home to tell everyone about that squirrel fight in Delaware Park.
Blogging topics on this site are broad, including but not limited to animals (with such delightful posts as "A bird in the hand means poop on the car" and "Chinese death camp for cats") and Food ("Dave don't eat it!" and "Subway. Finger-licking Freedom").
Turns out, the Elmwood strip is a popular hangout in cyberspace, too.

That is a good article I haven't looked at any of today's paper, I forget the date of the article but I missed it also if it wasn't from today.

New estrip - new top info areaCategory: estrip
Here is just a glimpse of what it will be like in the new estrip when I am done - someday. I really wish I had more time to donate to it, sorry it is going so slowly. Not done with fleshing out the messages yet, but it is more obvious when you have messages showing you the number of new and the number of total messages. Then you can read them inline, by clicking the link.
I only have a few things left:
1. The new mobile site
2. Preferences section
3. Draw replacement
4. quickstart guide
5. help
6. stats
7. convert latest data into new database structure

Work on new estripCategory: estrip
I decided to go with avatars and titles in the latest entries list. I think for people who are not familiar with the site content it will make more sense than the person's name or the date. The datetime shows when you hover over the title, the user's name by hovering over the pic. Both link to the journal.

Good idea, icons are smart, pictures are much easier to scan than text. People do change their icons though, so I guess the name is still important. I'm excited! Especially if I can really print out the journal so I can have a paper copy.

IE Browser statsCategory: estrip
On both the Buffalo NFTA Bus schedule site and on estrip.org it appears that the use of IE6 is dying rapidly. I think Roswell might be the last stronghold. I can't believe we are using such outdated, insecure crap as our browser.
IE 6 is green, IE 7 is in blue ad IE 8 is red
this is only out of the small IE percentage. Firefox alone is now 57% of viewers. On the NFTA site though, IE is 77% of viewers, although, same ratio of IE 6 to IE7
