Today I rolled out the brand new content management system for Epistolary. It took almost until 11pm at work but I finished it. Damn, it's cool.

New Haven, CT - Princeton admissions officers gained repeated, unauthorized access to the admissions decisions of 11 Yale applicants in early April by exploiting Yale's new online admission notification system, Yale and Princeton officials said Wednesday.

Washington, DC - Representative Howard Berman (D-CA) introduced a bill in the House of Representatives that would give copyright owners the right to violate computer crime laws in their efforts to stop the unauthorized circulation of their works on peer-to-peer networks. EFF opposes the bill as drastically misguided and overbroad, and has set up an Action Center to help people oppose its passage.

Anyone who placed an image from my photo gallery into a peer-to-peer file sharing network without my permission would be violating my copyright.
Under his bill, after seven days of notifying Attorney General John Ashcroft, I would be permitted to deploy my choice of "impairment technology" against the offender.

I oppose this bill, but I'd be more than happy to see it passed, just to show what morons Berman, and anyone else who beds with the RIAA are in the resultant chaos.
