Chicago Pondering Huge Camera Network

andyring writes "According to ABC7 in Chicago, mayor Daley rolled out plans to install thousands of video cameras in public places across the Windy City. In some ways, I suppose there are positives, as all the existing and future cameras are tied in to the 911 emergency center, allowing a 911 dispatcher to actually watch the area in question when someone dials 911. Dispatchers will be able to control some of the cameras, such as panning and zooming in."

OT: C2

[aggiefalcon01]

Umm ... okay so this is completely OT but since my only other way of getting to you is AIM, I'll try this first.

What's C2 all about? You put a link to it in your signature, but gee, there's nothing at all to see unless you're already invited in / registered. So, what's the point? Or is that bragging?

It is based on the everything2.com code. Socially however, the site is without a clear identity. It is being beta tested for the next little bit as the coding is finished.

I usually link to something in my sig that interests me. For a while it was e2, before that, the sound studio I work at, etc.

If you want a C2 account, you might try emailing Dann, the 'owner'. He is open to new members. His website is http://doulopolis.net/
Email containted therein.

Thanks for the interest,
