My tumblr is back

As a Chinese blogger, accidents are essential parts of the virtual life. Your ip could be blocked. You DNS could be contemplated. Your registry could be terminated without prior notification. And the server running your blog could be unplugged. So, when someone told me that this blog could not be visited, I thought it was just another accident directed by the GFW–Chinese censorship machine. However, finally I had found that it’s unaccessible even penetrating the wall by using a paid VPN. Every time when I typed the url of this blog, I got this message:“Your Tumblr is suspended.” I was greatly puzzled. According to the Term of Service of Tumblr, an account will be suspended when it publishes harmful materials such as pornography, racism and hatred contents etc. But I have never posted any entries like that. Why me? There are several effective ways to learn the craft of English writing, among which the best method, I think, is writing complaint letters. The key element of writing well is not skill, but the impulse, the dire need of expressing yourself. I wrote a complaint email to [email protected]. I got their reply very soon. ...

绝大多数网络服务其实都不用买

[和菜头]在博客上贴了LOST大结局的梗概,幸亏我反应灵敏,及时扭过头去,否则差点就知道故事的结局了。即使这样,我还是看到了BEN血淋淋的衣服,直觉告诉我,Y最后死了。 立即去网上找LOST 22-23集的下载,在超级苹果网站上找到了,可是都存在臭名昭著的俗称MU的MegaUpload上。果然,只下载了第22集,MU就警告我说我的IP地址下载已经超过了流量限制,需要等450分钟以后再来,也就是说,我只有到凌晨三点才能下载第23集。 刚才看见和菜头在宣传网络存储硬盘,我就气不打一处来。看来阿和对这种服务确实不了解,这种网络硬盘都分免费、收费两种,免费的上传下载都有流量限制,好想能读懂你的思想,你最需要用它的时候,它就歇菜了,蹦出一行字,让你去当会员。而会员费奇贵,以MU为例,一个月的费用是9.9欧,比租用美国DreamHost虚拟主机的价格(9.75美元)还高,而DH主机提供155G空间,可以同时开75个FTP账户。网络硬盘之贵,可见一斑。 网络硬盘的作用无非是为了存储或者共享文件,若要共享,还是买虚拟主机合适;如果仅仅是存储,用Gmail足够了,因为Gmail现在的附件可以达到25M。而且Gmail有个最大的优点就是免费。由此可见,绝大多数收费的网络服务都是骗人的,都有免费的替代品,劝大家谨慎购买。 ...

牛博网非官方通告

关于牛博访问不了的问题,和菜头昨天说-- 下午牛博换了机房,临时租用2M带宽。没想到闻讯而来的网友瞬间就把这点带宽瓜分殆尽,服务器开始保护性过滤信息包。如果用PING去看网速,那速度真是一流。但是流量超过了带宽限制,也就访问不了站点,最多见到一个展开一部分的页面,接下来的部分死活也打不开了。 我本来想上去发点东西,结果发现我挤不赢各位网友。但问题是:作者都登不上牛博,发不了博文,那么大家挤进去干什么呢? ...
