I noticed my hit counts jumped three fold this week and sure enough, blogger is unblocked again in the PRC. Of course, a lot of those hits are people looking for “sex” and wandering onto an old post about Chinabounder, but no matter. Such is. We’ll see how long this unblockage lasts…on a related note, Youtube is now off-limits.

I don’t know. I’m getting automatically redirected to proxies that don’t always work everytime I try to get here automatically, which suggests to me that Firefox is detecting some kind of blockage and flicking on whatever cool little add-on it was that I installed for just this purpose.
Of course, it could still be blocked by this university network. School networks can be anal like that.

I’m getting this and wordpress.com sites sans proxy. YouTube is definitely in a state of harmonious nothingness, though. I wish this still made me mad…

Chris W,
That sometimes happens to me too when various sites get suddenly unblocked. I have to go in and reset the proxies. I’m working on moving the site to a less-often blocked address, I’ll keep you posted.

Chris A,
I know, with youtube down I’ve lost my favorite research procrastination activity…looking up the opening credits to 1980s tv shows. Seriously.
Yes, I know: Life. Needed.

Hehe, uninstalled gladder from firefox (disabling it wasn’t enough) and suddenly full blogspot service is restored. I think next time I’ll just stick with regular proxies and avoid any firefox add-ons.
Of course, this means that Google, in its wisdom, has decreed that because I am now openly in China (and not proxified via Germany or whereever) that the comment form must be in Chinese. No big deal, though, it’s just funny to watch the constant changes in the language Google decides I must be reading.
