Estrip SSL
Category: ssl
You can now use the SSL version of estrip.org if you are somewhere sketchy or don't want people snooping on your activity. Godaddy had a good deal on SSL certs so I bought 5 years worth for estrip.org for $65. This doesn't mean that I don't want to fulfilll my dream for making a buffalo based free and local SSL provider. But for the prices of $12.99/year I could not beat it. It also helped that vimeo and youtube both now have https services. Previously that was always an issue with SSL and blogging.

Estrip Now Virtual On The New Server
Category: estrip
If you are seeing this entry you are visiting estrip on its new centos 6, kvm based virtual guest on the new server. It probably doesn't mean much to most people but it is an exciting step forward in technology for me. I was up till around 5am getting everything moved. I still have a few finishing touches but most functionality works as expected.

The way virtual technology works I shouldn't have to spend much time moving estrip in the future and migrating it to a new host should be trivial.
heidi - 04/29/12 13:33
Yay!
paul - 04/29/12 13:30
That is close, its having one big computer or set of computers on which many virtual computers can live. So it is all about consolidating and getting to most of resources, while keeping separate stuff very separate.
metalpeter - 04/29/12 13:08
I will admit I have no idea what this means and it I'm sure is beyond what I could get about computers and how the net works but is this close....

Everything is one spot kinda like cloud computing that I don't get entirely either... Where you upload discs or media and then get it all from that source....

In any event congrats!

Sorry about the outage
Category: estrip
Someone plugged a high power dehumidifier into the same ups that the server was on and drained all the power. Should be okay now.

Fixed Signup Bug
Category: estrip
I fixed the signup bug. It was caused by a change to the USPS site that I was using to validate the zip codes. They changed the site and the validation wasn't working any more. Thanks for reporting it (e:heidi) and Jolene.
metalpeter - 02/27/12 17:45
Party Pictures do go on here.... What I try to do most of the time is put them on here... Then anyone who likes there own pictures can take them and do what ever they want with them.....

In Terms of book of face: Now there are sometimes people on there who aren't on (e:strip) so the only pictures that get tagged are like Tony, Matt, Terry, Heidi, maybe Cyndi and me if I get myself a couple people who I know well and then there are some people who I know not to tag... The best way is to just tag Matt and terry and then people who know them or know people who know them and where at the party if they want can get pictures of them selves or check out the party Pictures... Also in the past there have been pictures that didn't go up on book of face........

So I will not tag you in anything and I also won't say like see that girl next to her well not her but the other one or anything like that....
jolene - 02/26/12 20:07
@ (e:tinypliny)-Ummm, yeah, that's internet-creepy all right. We probably have met before though.

@ (e:metalpeter)- I happen to know that NYE party pictures ended up on the Book of Face. How's that for internet-creepy? Hence my comment about tagging, but I appreciate your restraint none the less.
tinypliny - 02/26/12 16:38
LOL, yeah, I will find who you are one way or the other. (does that sound internet-creepy enough?) Actually, I think I might have met you before.
metalpeter - 02/26/12 13:05
One thing that I do like about (e:strip) is that there is no Tagging...... I also decided to not post a picture or to look for a picture with you in it.... Besides I'm sure you and (e:tinypliny) will meet or have meet before.... One of the great things about those parties is how there are all these people and no one can talk to everyone but how there are people you go oh I've seen them before.....
jolene - 02/25/12 13:52
"Tall, black hair and busty" is certainly accurate-I'll take it!
Pictures of me from NYE are not to be tagged or in any way identified...there are enough drunken pictures of me on the internet as it is!

And my favorite "Jolene" song :
:::link:::

Thanks for fixing the bug, and no worries (e:metalpeter), I'm a pacifist...
metalpeter - 02/24/12 19:59
Well the hair was black but can't remember if one would call it long..... When she does join she may pull an (e:tinypliny) and murder me slowly with ax blows to the neck...HA
tinypliny - 02/24/12 19:07
So tall black hair (tall and black hair? or long black hair), busty and "showing off the goods (A bootleg Samsung Galaxy tab?) in a red top"

yeah, not helpful. Unless you can pinpoint her in one of your snaps!
metalpeter - 02/24/12 18:29
@(e:tinypliny) If memory serves you where both at the same party Maybe New Years or the new Years before Red Top showing off the goods in fact I kinda remember a conversation I think about Jolene like the song at said party... At the time I had no idea it was a Dolly song and think I had heard someone not her sing it Matt knew it was Dolly who sang it.... But again parties tend to blend together and alcohol blends them together even more.... Well I heard of Rumor of the drink till you pass out St. Pats day Parade...HA ..Party.. Kidding on that one
heidi - 02/24/12 18:20
Yes, we all know you've been neglecting your real-life (e:strip) responsibilities. :-p I hadn't heard the Mindy Smith version of Jolene - thanks! (e:Metalpeter) described the (e:peep)-to-be Jolene accurately. She was trying to sign up the other night and was having validation trouble.
tinypliny - 02/24/12 18:12
that reminds me that I haven't been to the last 2 parties or so now. :/
tinypliny - 02/24/12 18:12
I have heard that white stripes version but I think I like the Mindy Smith version the best!
tinypliny - 02/24/12 18:11
Very tall, black hair and busty?

Oh well, that just tells me it's not even remotely me.
metalpeter - 02/24/12 17:49
Well that is a good song.... Guessing you may know the Alison Krauss version the white stripes do a pretty good version as well....

Now in terms of the name Jolene (not sure if she has an (e:peep) name or account yet or currently) but was at this last party and the one before.... I can describe her as very tall black hair and what is the nice way to say it very busty.....
tinypliny - 02/24/12 11:44
Yikers. I had no idea it was a dolly parton song! that was completely unexpected.

I was thinking of this one: :::link::: I loved the guitar riffs and mainly her beautiful voice.
heidi - 02/24/12 11:02
Thanks!

(e:tinypliny) :::link:::
tinypliny - 02/24/12 03:01
Jolene... vaguely familiar name. A song, perhaps? Jolene. Jolene? Can't remember too well.

New Year's Eve 2012
Category: party
Oops, I forgot to tell some of you there is in fact a new years 2012 party at the 24 (24 Linwood Ave). Its open invite, feel free to invite all your friends. Ball drop at midnight.
heidi - 01/01/12 21:37
I had a wonderful time, (e:PMT). Thanks always for hosting!
heidi - 12/30/11 21:27
(e:tinypliny), please see (e:tinypliny,55176). This event meets goals B1, B4, C2, C3, C4 and helps with A1, A5 & A6. See you tomorrow!
metalpeter - 12/30/11 19:48
On A serious note yes... You will be Missed....
tinypliny - 12/30/11 17:39
Yeah, my mind is no where near any parties right now, unfortunately. :( I guess you know my take on alcohol, in general.
metalpeter - 12/30/11 17:34
I think that is why (e:tinypliny) that is why you should be there.... Almost having a Panic attack is why your own Bottle of Champagne would mellow out all the stress of course the next day............. But of course that is just my view.... Of course if you where there and your mind was other places I could see how it wouldn't be good...
tinypliny - 12/29/11 23:00
I won't be there. :/ I will probably be up the street having a massive heart/panic attack over everything in general.

As of today, things are not going on schedule. :/
paul - 12/29/11 21:14
Around 9PM is good. Maybe even 9:30. We have to go to dinner first at my parents house at 6PM.
mrmike - 12/29/11 20:24
Can't miss the ball drop. I attribute a lot of 2011's fuck up it ness to my missing the drop last year
metalpeter - 12/28/11 17:14
I assume at about the 9PM hour? I'll be there with my big Camera... Now to just find $5,000 worth of alcohol kidding but sure it will be a good Time.....
kookcity2000 - 12/28/11 15:20
I think I'll be there after the hockey game
