LegRoom.net Kick back and relax

The EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) reported earlier today about the victory by the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) in their lawsuit to halt the illegal and unconstitional domestic spying program being performed by the NSA at the request of the Bush administration. This is an important early victory, and strengthens the EFF's own case against AT&T for "violating the law and the privacy of its customers by collaborating with the National Security Agency (NSA) in its massive and illegal program to wiretap and data-mine Americans' communications."

More details can be found in the EFF summary: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/archives/004880.php

With the release of Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.6, I once again spent some time refreshing my extension list. Not a whole lot has changed since my 1.5 update, but I did add a few new ones to my existing set. Newly added are ColorZilla, PageSaver Basic, and Session Manager.

I definitely recommend that any Firefox users out there check out the full list for some additional ideas.

I know it's been a while since I've posted any general news (been pretty busy working on other stuff), but I'm going to make another attempt to post on a regular basis. As when I started Legroom, it'll be various bits of information that I personally find useful or informative, and I think others would find useful as well.

So, to kick things off here's a link that a friend just set: 5 HTML elements you probably never use (but perhaps should). This article, unsurprisingly, discusses some obscure but quite useful HTML tags. I found a couple new ones that I plan to start using on my next site, and I'm sure a lot of other web developers could benefit from them as well. Take a look.
