I've found a few hotels where my VPN won't work, but the majority seem fine - definitely worth a try.<BR/><BR/>I assume that you've come across the facility to send your blog updates via e-mail, too. That one looks handy.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Toodlepip,<BR/><BR/>HobbesHobbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719619695211038389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-60738789516811115922007-08-09T13:23:00.000+01:002007-08-09T13:23:00.000+01:00They're very fickle indeed, and only work from tim...They're very fickle indeed, and only work from time to time.

In communicating with a Chinese friend the other day, I gave him both the standard half-dipper URL and the following proxy which seems to do the trick from the Mainland:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://tinyurl.com/yogebo" REL="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/yogebo</A><BR/><BR/>Here's hoping it stays open for longer this time.

Xanga continues to be dead, so no readers for me from Chinat at all. It's really obvious. You can get around these things by either using a proxy, or having subscribed to the blog somehow (when it was up) MarshalNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16776398824139018801noreply@blogger.com
