Access Denied

I forget China blocks websites. Here’s a running list of some I tried, strained and ruptured a vessel trying to access (and failed):

  • Jaiku
  • Google cached pages — Thus counter-foiling my attempts to foil China.
  • Jake and Amir — This makes me incredibly sad.
  • Feedburner — Very essential since so many feeds are there. Prevents me from reading expanded feeds in my reader if they happen to be on Feedburner.
  • OpenMalaysia and redhatmagazine.com — Guess I’m not finding out about the OOXML tally today.
  • YouTube UK — But not YouTube US. Odd.
  • matope.com — I was trying to access Favotter. I wish I could tell you what it was all about, but alas, I CANNOT.
  • Xanga blogs — No commenting on Jody’s latest post today.

But while we’re at it, thank you China for not blocking Facebook or Google Reader or GMail. Thankyouthankyouthankyou.

    Haha of course. I’m subscribed to your feed, as you know. I just can’t log onto the page itself to leave a comment. I’m back on Friday night…thank God.

    Hey Jody, what’s your blog URL? I wanna visit! And yes I’m fucking nosy.

    Vicki, try a proxy as Roo mentioned.

    Have you been to http://www.xiaonei.com? Hahaha. The Chinese rip off everything, don’t they?
