Hey all,
It turns out that the moratorium on blogging through WordPress in Turkey is still in effect. I thought that access had been regranted, but it turns out there are only a few ISPs that managed to escape Turkey’s court order to shut down WordPress.
In the meantime I set up a temporary blog at blogspot. The address is http://istanbullseye.blogspot.com/. I haven’t posted anything yet but content will be coming shortly.
Hopefully this ridiculous situation will blow over soon (see previous post for more information). Once it does then I will blog on this site regularly. The crappy thing is lots of people I know use wordpress so I can’t see their blogs. But they can see mine. This situation is not disimilar to being a focus group that is test tasting a new soda, unknowingly being watched by greedy corporate executives throug one-way glass. You, my friends, are those executives. I hope the new soda I am tasting sells well and causes your company’s quarterly earnings to go through the roof.
Mechanical Turk,
Can you please blog again. I miss reading your blogs, and I know for a fact that many other people do as well.
