I have until next week to start work, which means I have alot of down time. The internet in my apartment is not going to be repaired until approximately Thanksgiving, so I have to do all my internet work from the office. That is fine, however the internet connection is less than optimal. It is probably at the speed of high speed dial up right now.
Supposedly, the CCP has been intentionally slowing internet speeds to help prevent internal disruption of China pending the resolution of the communist party's congress in Beijing. This event involves transitioning power for another ten years to a new premier.
Supposedly, the internet has been slowed and is being heavily monitored. So it is more than likely that someone from China is reading my blog.
Of perhaps more import is the fact that I have page hits originating from China, despite this blog being blocked by the "great firewall of China" which blocks blogspot and blogger. I am able to access and post to my blog by means of a virtual private network that connects me with a server outside of mainland china, hence not subject to the great firewall.
So, I have been whiling my time away, getting organized for my first class, and staying out of trouble.
Unfortunately, I spent 299.00 on Rosettastone software to help learn chinese and another 217.00 on MS Office, so my cash flow is waning. Hopefully I will get paid soon.
