I believe Richard referred to it, but for those of you that haven't seen it, more blog sites have been blocked. All Typepad.com blogs are now inaccessible, just like Google's Blogger service (Note, typepad.com and blogger.com are still available, but the blogs themselves are not). More information is available at Adam Morris' http://www.brainysmurf.org (scroll down a bit). The Slashdot problems started soon after they posted about the block, but the site is still accessible by IP address, so it doesn't follow the example of the other blocks. Glutter ( http://www.glutter.org/ ) is also tracking it quite well, but her site is on typepad so you'll need to use a proxy to get to it. _______________________________________________ blug-general list [email protected] http://list.beijinglug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/blug-general
