moving targets

Yesterday and the day before I had connectivity problems to the Internet, and then, once on, to sites I usually check: my blog, a couple others, and some news sites.

When I checked with others, apparently my blog is hosted by a domain that has been blocked here. There are some interesting sites devoted to proxy servers to allow access to such sites. My choices include trying one of these proxies, not posting any more, moving my blog to another address so that I can see it. Not sure what I am going to do, yet.

I wish that information flowed much more freely in more places in this world. Also, that I was better at learning Mandarin. There are so many ways to speak English, even here. I suspect that it gets easier to force myself the farther afield I go.

That being said, I got to talk to and see my mommy and my husband, last night. iChat's video conferencing is wonderful when it works. The sounds delay was not too bad and it was very comforting to see my family.
