The Great Firewall of China

Forgot to post this earlier. The Great Firewall of China is in full effect. This blog is blocked, so I have to post while I'm on my work VPN. Other notable sites blocked/modified:

Twitter (blocked)
Facebook (blocked)
Google (modified results)
Blogspot/Blogger (blocked)
Youtube (blocked)
CNN (blocked depending on front page content)

If you're curious if a site is blocked, feel free to email me the link to my gmail account and I'll check it and get back to you.

One more thing I'm really disliking - using IP Geolocation to determine my preferred language. I don't care that my IP address belongs to an Chinese ISP, my user-agent string says I want my pages in English, so don't give me Mandarin (Google - I'm looking at you).
