lucky for u.. not accessible here in qingdao. neither is my 'soup' blog for that matter, which fell under the nanny watch a few weeks ago after a good 4 month run. hec, us canucks can't even read cbc news anymore!
i need to move..

mm
btw, besides using tor or other public proxy addresses, adding the suffix '.nyud.net' to a url sometimes bypasses the GFW.. for now anyways.
always place it before the actual post's add, for example, your current article's url would look like this:

Flickr was working yesterday, too, but only for the morning. Random unblocking and then reblocking seems to be happening to some websites...don't know what's happening, but the accessibility only lasts a few hours.

It was working this morning for me in Shanghai. Then by lunch, it was off. And I was in the middle of commenting on my favorite blog when I lost access too.
