yesterday i noticed that wordpress blogs were no longer blocked here. this site was still inaccessable without using an out-of-kaz proxy. today i noticed another blogspot site worked so i tried this url and it loaded without a problem. (atrios and mustang bobby are still blocked).
a week ago i was corresponding with someone who lived in kaz for a while and she said the block might be lifted after some period of time. and so it has. at least for now. i was getting use to my workaround, but it is much faster and easier to post the old fashioned way again. inshallah, it will stay that way.
UPDATE: ...and now it doesn't work.
the block is back. oh well, i guess it just wasn't working this morning for a few hours.
