This is what CNN says his visit was about. We heard from sources inside the speech that it was mostly Police and law inforcement officiers in the crowd.

They are provisions that:

1. Allow sneak-and-peek searches to permit law enforcement agencies to surreptitiously enter a premises for evidence and inform terrorism suspects later.

1. Give law enforcement agencies the ability to obtain library records on demand for terrorism investigations.

Bush disagrees that the provisions go too far.

"The terrorists declared war on the United States of America, and the Congress must give law enforcement all the tools necessary to protect the American people," Bush said Monday.

He is demanding that Congress make the law's provisions permanent.

My secondLife movie project starring Amy Goodman and the statue of Liberty is driving me crazy. Everything is ready but the video capture part is sucking for me. I hope that it works out. I guess I could just consider not getting an A for once. But if I get a B I might as well get an F.



I am just sticking my eye here a year later cause i found it while finding the pic that was missing from this journal.

Here is a rundown for some of the (e:strip) v1.5 updates. Its not a huge change from v1.4 to v1.5 but there are some great improvements.

1. The (e:strip) logo at the top of the banne ris a link back to the elmwood journal/home page.

2. There is a new "QuickUpdate" button on the journals directly under the user's pictures. By clicking on it you bring up a pop up box which allows you to quickly add a journal entry wihtout having to access the more ocmplicated update page.

3. The traditional update page still accessed by the write button at the top, has had many upgrades. You now can update and delelte multiple journals at a time. This saves lots of time. I have also mmoved the uploaded images library to a separate window in order to speed up load time when doing text-only updates.

So I finally got the web server up and going. Believe it or not Verizon blocks port 80. That is so ridiculous. I think that it is basically, another step in the surpression of free speech. There are probably so many people that try and start a web server and then get frustrated when it doesn't work from the outside. They probably just quit at that point. I have to admit it took me a while to figure it out and I have been using apache for a long time. Everything was working on other ports. Then I switched ports, it works now. There is nothing there yet but soon there will be all kinds of mobile content, i hope. I bought a sidekick and I plan on making web sevices for it. We will see how it goes.

Here is a to the Richard Stallman MP3 about the development of the GNU/Linux and opensource movements.
