Iraqi Prisoner Abuse

Back in july I wrote this journal entry [inlink]paul,1405[/inlink] about prisoner abuse. This may be old news but because I don't have television I haven't really heard much about it anymore. Barely anyone believed me that the bottom picture was real because I had found it on an arab site at the time.

Well, it just resurfaced on the web again, this time on the Washington Post Site.

The person in charge --> "Specialist Armin J. Cruz of the502 nd Military Intelligence battalion was also demolished to the rank of private as another punitive measure after he confessed to forcing three naked inmates at the notorious Iraqi jail to crawl along a floor before making them simulate sex acts."

The Washington post has an entire gallery of the images here

General Display Crapiness

I am working on a new design of the layout. In the mean time there is a problem with the section under the journal not extending all the way to the bottom of the page. Please be patient. I have a million other things to do right now. It will be fixed shortly.

Some really messed up stuff

So I was working on the site and a developers worst nightmare happend. No matter what I uploaded as soon as I accessed the file through the web browser it would go from 13k or whatever it was to 0k. It only happend if the file was FTP'ed, dynamically written files had no problem. What is up with that crap. I want my own server space so bad so that i don't have to deal with crap like this anymore. If the job with (e:zack) works out maybe I can finally afford it.

On another note, I finally got rid of that problem where it would delay loading between the search box and the chat box.

Bug Reports and details

(e:metalpeter), in order to find out what's wrong in regards to [inlink]metalpeter,115[/inlink] I need to have more details about the error. In the future when you spot problems, please make sure to tell me what type of computer you are using and which browser. Otherwise, it makes it impossible for me to test out what is wrong with it.

Thanks,
Paul

Student loans

I just accepted more student loans today. At some point it will max out and I will be cosumed by debt, reduced to living a life as an indentured student.

I recorded the process and what I was thinking. It is my new usersound. To listen to userSounds just click on the user sound link in the User Stats area under the User Pic. If the sound is new for that day you will see a "NEW SOUND TODAY" images instead of the text link. Same with the profiles.

If you want to upload your own user sound simply click on the green music notes in yourcontrol panel.

Provincetown Elmwood

Apparently, there is another elmwood neighborhood

in Provincetown. So apparently, I could move away and still spend my whole life living on elmwood.

When I first viewed their gallery I didn't realize where it was and I couldn't recoggnize the buildings. They seem to fit into our own local architechture so well, but I just couldn't recognize the locations. It actually made me think that maybe I had missed part of elmwood. Here is an example pic.

We should have an inter-elmwood themed online event. Maybe they need a site :)

What's even weirder is that if you type elmwood and provincetown into google (GOOGLE - elmwood provincetown) we show up on the first page of returns because of (e:emilyjane) 's trip to P-town.

Check this local treasure out

. It is a database of food information in Western NY and Niagara Regional Area.

I had never heard of it before until I was doing some routine searches on elmwood today. Below is the latest entry is from Sept 6 -2004 and is talking about one of our local elmwood attractions.

We had to check out the Carriage Trade Pastries that is located at 1654 Elmwood Ave. between Great Arrow and Amherst. (Across from the Fire Hall) 716-881-2326. We went home with some Bumbleberry tarts that were excellent! Everything else looked really great! We will definitely be returning. They also offer a lunch menu and have a few tables to eat right there. They have desserts, breads and wedding cakes. The are open Tues. to Fri. from 8 AM - 5 PM and on Sat. from 9 AM to 5 PM.

These would make the cutest bike bells

These would make the cutest bike bells. They would of course make some sort of crazy bird chirp rather than your avaergae bell bing.
