oh?

Uh, no, John, I suspect either you’re wrong (for the time being) or I’ve had incredibly brilliantly unusually good luck finding those holes in the GFW/catching Nanny napping/sneaking out of the Panopticon. I’m still getting through to blogspot blogs unpoxified (deliberate spelling mistake- I hate poxy servers).

  1. I am curious what entry from John’s site you’re referring to (if any).

    From what I heard, blogspot has been unblocked. Works just fine for me at work and home.

  2. I am curious what article of John’s you are referring to – maybe it’s not on the main page anymore?

    I think blogspot has been officially unblocked – as it has been working for me for the last… 2 weeks? (+ or – a week) both at home and work (I’m in Beijing)

  3. Not referring to any entry of John’s, just an oblique reference to a comment John left here yesterday on the subject of blogspot. Sorry to confuse you.

  4. I’ve just tried blogspot with IE7 (which, unlike Firefox, has no handy script for dodging the blockade), but nothing doing.

    I’m wondering from Chris D’s comment whether this is a Beijing phenomenon. blogspot was unblocked during the Party conference and was then promptly blocked again once it was over.

  5. I hate how different ISPs and networks block and unblock at different times. If we’re going to have a Great Firewall, they could have the decency to centralise the bloody thing.
