so being at home, not only do i have a modem slowww connection, i also get the internet through the fliter of cleanweb.net. This means no maxim's top 50 list. also, no fark, and no onion (oddly enough the britanny spears guide to semiconductor physics works fine). My most recent odd block finding is: ifeminists. If any of you could poke around their site and figure out why on earth its blocked.

Of course your library can no longer be forced to used this filtering system on us adults due to this decision and our good friend Ben Edelman.

Speaking of that decision and Ben, i found the following footnote (number 14 in the 3rd court's decision) quite amusing:

"Edelman is a Harvard University student and a systems administrator and multimedia specialist at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School. Despite Edelman's young age, he has been doing consulting work on Internet-related issues for nine years, since he was in junior high school. "


(To see how this filter works, go to control panel/internet options. go to the connections menu. click settings. now check the box marked "use proxy server". enter as the address "filter.cleanweb.net" and as the port "81". This will set you up to use their filter. If you also use their ISP like we do, then if you don't have this part set up then it will not work at all.)
