Madness In The Middle Kingdom

Gotcha huh?

Well now that I gotcha .. let’s explain why I haven’t been updating this blog so often in the last week. It seems there was this earthquake this week off the coast of Taiwan which has effectively severed 6 of the 7 communications cables linking Asia with North America. In essence Asia’s internet and telephone capacity has undergone a giant vasectomy which is diagrammed something like this (my apologies but this was the least graphic image I could find)

Normally the internet is slow in good ol’ ZhongGuo (China) but since the earthquake we have noticed (can’t believe I am going to stoop to this) a vas deferens in the speed and reliability of the net. So until we get a reversal on the big V things will be slow for awhile.

Better cut this one short.
