Going through some old scans from last year (bit of a back log). Here is one I took of Kevin Rose (digg.com founder) when I took him out for Chaunr after a regrettably too lately planned and informed tweetup that prevented the execution of some serious piss cutting out on the town. :-s

The History of Chinese ICP and .CN Requirements
Published by March 15th, 2010 in Business Development, China and Tech Horizon. 7 CommentsThere has been a bit of a maelstrom recently regarding the use of .CN and ICP certificates all on top of the existing confusion.
So to try and set the record straight I am going to give a nice little walk through the pages of history and clearly state the facts of the matter from the inception until the present.

When you have a server (and lets hope it is a real one and not a Zhong Guan Cun job) you should enable thermal protection. Because A/C units do fail as do fans and other servers. Thermal protection will cause your systems to shut down gracefully and prevent damage to them and surround devices – like UPS batteries.
Currently locally hosted sites work – but if this goes on like last time – even they will fail because DNS will fail because there are no root servers for DNS in China, most registrars are also not in China and well… you get the idea. No point being able to connect if you do not know where to connect!
