I know it says the webcam will go up today on my webcam section, but ....I can't get a hold anybody. I've been calling and calling, but no ones there. What a great service they're provding us (sarcasm). I have this site, and I'm trying to build it up some...and I can't do that. Again, the college promotes making websites, but then do not give us FTP access! What kind of crap is that? ANd then I'll tell them my site address and they'll say, "Well it looks like you're updating it to me." Of course I can update my blog! I'm using blooger to do it. That's a browser based service. I coded my site in such a way, that my blog and the rest of my content are totally independant of each other. I don't think that's incredibly hard to understand. So I called last year, they said they were going to call back...they never did. Gosh!! What? You don't won't students of the College of Charleston to contribute to the web's content? I just need FTP. I don't care about downloading music like everyone else does. I buy the music I listen to. I don't have any illegal mp3's on my hard drive anymore. The mp3's I do have that I didn't purchase are from websites that provided them freely. You are trying to provide us with the internet; however, you're treated us like children by limiting its accessibility. We are adults. If I really wanted to get mp3's and download movies for free, I would just go to my all of my buddies http sites and sftp servers. If I really wanted to share my music with people, all I got to do is upload it into my iDisk's public folder. There's a lot more alternatives than P2P file sharing. By putting a block on that crap, you're blocking all the people who would use that and FTP for legitimate reasons. I feel like a child, prohibited from having any form of responsiblility - any form of creative growth --- any form of expression that would help people understand what makes me tick. Taking these priviledges we are suppose to get from maturing is such a huge insult to my character. You people providing this resnet service should realize that illegal activity will alway exist. But there are some (like me) who want to legally take advantage of these technologies. It really is a shame.
