Privacy blog has me absolutly convinced we lost the privacy battle 15 years ago. Now we should be arguing about who has access to all that information. Because if we don't guarantee equal access, it will be available to the only the rich & powerful, as has been the historical norm.

I really like Brin's Transparent Society. I recommend it as a stepping off point for those who want to think a bit about privacy.

nice, similar with the attbi setup, though not anywhere near 12e3 hits per day...honestly, I like the OR blog quite a bit, but I'm afraid to even look at the privacy blog...I feel like it's a game to find the LCD.

Php/Mysql based. Very easy to set up. My site(s) are running on my home machine on the far end of a attbi cable connection. On all my sites set up there I get about 12 thousand hits a day. PMachine serves about 150 or so a day.

I've been having fun with the OregonBlog. The PrivacyBlog I do can be quite a downer sometimes...

do you host through them also? I think I'll be happy with this current software. It has a few shortcomings, but it's prety slick, and nothing that can't be ironed out. Is Pmachine php/mysql-based? What platforms does it run on, the site doesn't really specify.

I've been digging your blog by the way, keep it up!

If you get frustrated with this, I use a wonderful, customizable blogging package called PMachine (http://www.pmachine.com). Rick Ellis, the creator, lives out in Hillsboro. I highly recommend it! You can see it in action over on my blog at AboutItAll.com.

okay, so it appears that you don't need to register to leave comments. So, in the near future I'll move the comments over with the proper attributions, and not worry about accounts.

oh, by the way, the TrackBack thingy is like a link tag in other places as far as I can tell. PingBack is the same but different, actually I have no idea how it works and will probably just remove it soon.

There are a few bugs to work out here, but I think it'll work just fine. The leaving comments part of the site seems a little askew, as I sit leaving my first, but that will go onto my list.
