I have changed a couple of things on the site.
login -
The login box is now located in the place where you control panel will appear once you log in.
chat -
I moved the last 3 lines of chat up to the top so that everybody would see it and know when other people were on. It works in a new way, where you do not have to refresh the whole page to update it, simple send some text, or click referesh and that tiny little window will update just itself.
BETTER NEWS: The full chat now auto refreshes every 5 seconds. You can click the numbers at the bottom of the full chat to change the number of previous lines you can see. Chat expires one month after it is typed.

More info from the protestIt was an amazing turn-out, especially for it being cold and at 8:30. We also got a new journal member named carrie. CHeck out her journal. She also posted this in the chat - so I guess the news is covering something at least.
carrie 13:26 : hey paul, great pics, saw you and terry on the news
There were at least 1000 people despite what the news probably says. You would not know that by checking out the story on the Channel 4
website. They don't even mention the protest. You will not believe it. Besides not even mentioning that it happend the only criticism of Busgh in the article says,
Buffalo resident Mary Jane Mills said, "I'm not a fan of his, but I think he should give his story to as many parts of the country as possible."
Here [inlink]elmwood,258[/inlink] are some quotes from the the signs posted last journal entry. Note that Rachel posted these live during the protest as I sent them to her via IM. It is the first time we have used the site for live reporting. More to come next time.
Here are the pics, I will leave the commentary up to terry.
For this one we realized that the media was focusing on the 15 Bush supporters instead of the 1000 Bush protesters.
HEre is a great quote from one of the Bush supporters via newsday.com
Justin Norton, 25, came out to show his support for the president.
"I find them to be uneducated on the issues," he said of the anti-Bush protesters. "I ask them what civil liberties they have lost (as a result of the Patriot Act) and they can't answer."
See my future journal entry about this (paul). Anyways, there was this guy who looked like a serious Nazi and very pro Bush. We realized that Terry also looks like a nazi, so we made him a sign that said Nazis for Bush and then he stood next top the hardline, pro-bush soldier during all of the press covereage. It was so funny, because it really looked like they were together.
I will comment on this last one. It seems that the Scientologist decided to come out en masse and try to get people into their cult. THey are one strange group. I think we should start reporting on them some more. Anyone have any personal experiences with them. Especially, since they just moved into Buffalo and have started being so public. I even saw advertisements for them in the Caribean restaurant on Allen. Who would have thought?
