数 据 嘉 年 华
Awesome night. Feeling a bit seedy now as I get ready for my 11am – however met a bunch of cool people that share this city with me and of course Kevin, Tim and Glen. Like most tech meet ups in China, Australians tend to me over represented – though I hope we were well behaved.
There goes the flickr image servers as well. The fall out from Xinjiang continues.
Flickr works still for chat and forums – but no images.
facebook.com blocked in China.
This time it is not even the “Connection Reset” usual suspect. Nothing is happening so I am guessing DNS poisoning.

Yay! Go read www.beijinglug.org for more. Now if only IDG could put on a half decent Linux World instead of the token crap they excrete out like a constipated hippo.
Software as a service. Sounds nice doesn’t it? How about utility computing or computing as a service? Well it is not until you actually start to UNDERSTAND it – that you get to appreciate it. All too often the pundits of tech in society (as nice as they are), like twit.tv, cnet.com and zdnet.com – [...]
