The ACLU agrees

October 13, 2001 by Michael Boyle

that the “USA Act 2001” is an outrage. “This bill has simply missed the mark of maximizing security and, at the same time, minimizing any adverse effects on America’s freedoms.”

! Wired News reports that a Terror bill has cleared the Senate in the US by a 96-1 vote. Russ Feingold was the sole nay voter, and said, “We will lose that war (on terrorism) without a shot being fired if we sacrifice the liberty of the American people.”

Updates here have been

October 10, 2001 by Michael Boyle

sporadic due to a great deal of busy-ness, but also because I’ve been working on a new design and playing around with Moveable Type, the new micro-CMS on the market.

The new design is going to be pretty nice, I think (if I do say so myself), but I’m having trouble rendering it using no-tables techniques. My current thinking is that the world should progress in that direction ultimately, and for extremely simple pages it is much more efficient to work with than tables are. Trouble is, there are just as many fudges and workarounds required as there were using tables, which pretty much makes the whole endeavour beside the point. So I’m going to have to make a decision – and right now, I’m leaning towards using tables. The point of all-CSS design is to dispense with workarounds and browser silliness (at least one of the points is to do so). If I can’t do that, I don’t see the point in making the switch.
