Not only has China Unicom being playing silly buggers with my bandwidth again, but suddenly today a the Green Bamboo Spaces version, the main one, disappears and now all of a sudden I need a proxy to see other blogspot blogs. The weird thing is I seem to have no trouble from the backend here, but reading other blogs is another matter. Maybe it's the lack of a .blogspot.com in the address? Clicking 'view blog it seems I can't see the front end of my own blog either. And blogspot blogs that were accessible this morning have suddenly disappeared. All viewable by proxy, of course.

So I don't know, is this some technical problem? Is it China Unicom fucking around yet again? Or has blogspot suddenly found itself back on the other side of the firewall? This is starting to really piss me off.

gmail

gmail is still playing silly buggers. I can read emails, but I can't send any, nor can I sign out from gmail. I can sign in to and out of Google easily enough through blogger, but gmail is just refusing to work.

hmmm.....

Typepad blogs seem to be loading unusually slowly today. After a recent incident involving Live Journal, this has me wondering.... Trouble is, China Unicom's CDMA service has this frustrating problem called "Magically Disappearing Bandwidth" which recurs frequently, meaning I never really know if there is any real problem accessing any site or if it's China Unicom playing silly buggers again.

It's not just Typepad, either. Gmail isn't working properly today. Trying to send emails has been rather hit and miss. Blogger works fine, though. Weird.
