My appreciation to Brendan (of I Hate Linux) and Aaron (formerly of groundrocket, this blog’s original home) for their help in allowing to see the outside world. While less of the internet is censored than before (I can read the New York Times, Wikipedia, etc.) most major blog services are censored, as well as some nonpolitical but calming sites (why does China filter LOST podcasts? Why???)

Brendan and Aaron are using quite different technologies to give me freedom, and they complement each other very well. Between a Putty proxy and Windows Home Server, I have all the techy liberty I need!
