Thailand Blocked From Editing Wikipedia

Hey hey.

This is a map of the internet in Thailand: http://iir.ngi.nectec.or.th/internet/map/current.html

See all those blue circles (there are 20 blue circles with a bunch of lines comming in and out of them for those too lazy to click on the link) those are proxies where ISPs are legaly required to route all Thai traffic in and out of in order to censor (mildly) the intertubes.

See wikipedia uses your proxy ip to enforce bans. Consider this fact and the fact that everyone in Thailand is split among 20 proxy servers and guess how long my IP stays un-banned at a stretch. Shitty.

On the bright side the talk page for my IP is pretty amusing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:203.147.0.48

Also, quickly: I haven’t updated the flickr page in a while. This isn’t because I haven’t been taking pictures. It is because I have been taking shitty pictures.
