That's Chinese for "Why, China, why?"

The fine People's Republic of China went ahead yesterday and blocked the entire Yahoo! server. That means I cannot get into my e-mail account until either they unblock the server or Aug. 2, the day I return to the States. I'm actually not surprised. A week or two ago the government blocked Flickr, Yahoo!'s photo-sharing server.

Perhaps it's only a techical issue, and I'll be able to get into my e-mail in a few days. I do have a Gmail account set up for occasions like this, and if my e-mail's still blocked by the time I leave Xiangtan, I'll post that address up here.
