is an interesting idea I have seen work in many other citiies. If you are from the site and are reading this, I think if you tie it in with a multi-restaurant delivery service you would have a winning proposition. I have seen that in several other cities. this allows the people to go to the site and order calamari from casa di pizza, a salad from Jimmy macs, and a slection of drinks from the site.

I hope you keep a journal about the development of your site and didn't do the one time promotional journal thing like (e:hesperus)

I've seen that happen time and time again and it never works, because as soon as your name leaves the top twelve list and never returns, you become history and that no one will search for it. . If that's what you want you are much better off with craig's list as it is more of a list of things going on an quick anouncements.

So the epeeps.net project has been on hold for a while. As a first step I would like to offer a peer based restauarnt review engine. Is anyone interested in heading up a research team of what would decide how this should work. I have no problem doing all the programming (with some possible help from ajenius (e:ajay) ) but I don't want to have to think about it socially or from a user standpoint at this time. It would also help if I could get some volunteers to write up the first reviews for a bunch of restaurants so that we have something to work with, or some demo examples.

The idea being that because the reviews are written by people easting at the restaurant they would tend to be more fair than say if they were written by the restaurant or other reviewers who were often getting paid to eat or given a free meal.

Much like the journals, users would be able to upload pictures of their food (of course right from their mobile phone), talk about the service, the selection, proces, location, etc. Because anyone is able to review the restaurants it should begin to provide a fair description. At least more well rounded.

While a vegetarian reviewing Casa Di Pizza may have a different opinion than a meat eater or gluten intolerant person, having all three reveiew the same place would provide a fair and balanced depiction, at least in my opinion.

So who is interested? Pelase IM me at paulsidekick or email me.

Was anyone influenced by the debate. I find it hard to imagine the people who were very unsure of their choice of candidate. Basically, does anyone actually change their mind after watching the debate?

Thanks to (e:maidencateyes) and (e:ajay) I was able to squash the end of the month bug. This bug would make it so that during the last three hours of the month, journals would post to the server, but not show up until midnight. I knew it had to due with the fact that the old server code used to add 3 hours to everything to compensate for the fact that the server was in California. I had fixed most references to that but i guess I forgot a few. I would always forget about it and then the problem only occurrs during the last three hours of the month.

Well this time we got it. No more 3 hours mystery bug. Thanks.

This may be interesting to a few of you. I will be going if anyone else wants to go with me.

The Walter Klingenbeck Lecture

by Prof. Ralf Homann (Founder, Experimental Radio Program at Bauhaus University, Weimar)

where: Room 235 Department of Media Study, SUNY at Buffalo

when: OCTOBER 19, Tuesday 3:30pm - 4:50pm

The Bauhaus in Weimar is the first university in Germany that founded a Faculty of Media. A chair for Experimental Radio was established in 1999 and is the only one in Germany teaching radio in the context of the fine arts. This artistic practice is understood as an open field which supports interdisciplinary approaches, in the range from aesthetic operations, new technological developments and political activism.

Walter Klingenbeck was a 17 year old (Catholic) boy who founded an illegal radio station called 'Radio Rotterdam' in Munich during WWII. This radio station did never broadcast, but it did create a resistance group. Klingenbeck was discovered by the Gestapo and killed.

This event is the beginning of a lecture organized by the Institute of Distributed Creativity at the Department of Media Study in collaboration with Eyebeam (NYC) and The Thing (NYC).

I was looking at the incomming link from the western ny msuic board on the site and noticed this forum about Pano's demolatition plans where Dan posted a link to (e:metalpeter) 's journal. I had to post it to complete the circle. I mean that is what the web is about.
