Hope for the Blogs

September 10, 2009

The technical term for hope is VPN -- virtual private network. Some of the teaching fellows here told us about the VPN they use as a way around the Chinese government's block on certain websites including blogs, Facebook, Youtube, and the like. The VPN is a little complicated, but Stirling subscribed to a service online and got it set up on our computers tonight. This means that you will soon be able to hear directly from Sofia, Jacek and Isabel about the tiger cub. It was real. Because you are reading this, you know that the VPN has worked. I have taken what I would have posted on my blog day by day and put it up all at once.
