More craziness on the Internet front

Of course, the submarine earthquakes in the Pacific are being blamed, but..... the disruption of Internet access here seems so patchy, so inconsistent that it is hard not to suppose that some of the interference is once again being caused by the government censors (or the Kafka Boys, as I like to think of 'em).

For instance, we still have Gmail, but not Yahoo or MSN. We still have Blogger, but not Blogspot (you may remember, the last time this happened to me, it was censorship!). We still have Google search engines, although we can't actually access most of the pages returned in the search results. We still have Wikipedia (at least via proxies), but we don't have Amazon or YouTube (even via proxies).

Frustrating it is. And baffling.

I just hope to hell we get something like 'normal service' restored soon.
