A California court ruled that online reporters are protected by the same confidentiality laws that protect traditional journalists. By LAURIE J. FLYNN. [NYT > Technology] Good to hear. On another subject, ExperiSpace (short for experimental space) had internet access problems, which the Internet Service Provider continues to work on. After last Monday's possible solution, our DSL connection totally disappeared later in the week. My current, Memorial-Day weekend issues with the provider are: Techs showed up Monday outside the promised four-hour window--they were scheduled between 8 AM and noon, but didn't arrive until 2 PM Phone support doesn't know what day of the week it is, and that my country has a Monday holiday, Memorial Day Therefore, now I don't know when I'll have the connections repaired The only positive thing that occurs to me: to check all the connections inside my office, I've straighten out cables and wires, and so I cleaned behind my desk. 10:53:17 AM    comment []
