Wordpress.com Blocked by Guate Gov’t…or Not
ByThings are certainly getting interesting here in Central America. My Twitter account has gotten overwhelmed with claims that the Guatemalan government is blocking access to Wordpress.com, the popular blog-hosting site. Although my platform is Wordpress, I host it on my own server, so I’ve only experienced minor issues the last few days and didn’t make the connection until I got, oh, about 7200 msgs on Twitter.
What no one else seems to have observed is that the undersea cables that support the network here all come from the US, and run through Honduras before arriving here. Readers may recall there have been some political developments in Tegucigalpa, (that’s the capital of Honduras), that may very well have led to the ‘outage’.
The Guatemaltecos naturally think it is their own government out to stifle their freedom to call for a run on the state bank and other such things, but I suspect it has a lot more to do with what’s happening next door. If I were Colom I think I’d keep my top Generals close by, maybe even go to Atitlan for a few days.
Stay tuned.

I’m glad that wordpress works, because I don’t want to have to switch to blogspot when I move down there this winter…

I bought two songs on iTunes store through my iPhone 3GS. It seems to hate me. The songs won’t be added to a new playlist on the iPhone even though once I link up to the iTunes on my computer, the songs are listed on the playlist, but not on the playlist on my iPhone. Also, is there any way to get those songs I bought onto my computer?

I’ve got an iphone 3G 16gb and something terrible happened to it. My phone fell of the toilet bowl and it doesn’t function anymore. My phone is still under warranty. I’m planning to bring it to the Genius bar to get it replaced. My question is how much do I have to pay to get it replaced. I live in Australia so I wanna know the price in AUD. Will the apple store replace my phone that has been damaged by water? or will they just fix it?

What is the best platform to trade real forex? I mean, considering most of the features, like if its trading software is good, if it’s reliable, if the money transfer of deposit and withdrawen is fast, if it’s convenient to do trading with it, if the support is fast and effective, and so on and so on. Is there any good platform support Paypal or has european bank account? Thank you for informations. I’m planning to do real trade, but first only with a mini account.

I trade stocks regularly but was wondering if anyone found Forex more appealing than trading the DOW, NYSE or NASDAQ? Also, has anyone profited more than they thought they would? Please no answers trying to sell me your proven methods. Thanks.
