YouTube is back in China (and Hong Kong and Taiwan)

No way to know how long this will last. Flickr still appears at least partially blocked (checked using Safari), the same as it has been since June. Wordpress.com blogs are working again, too, at least for the moment. Blogspot doesn't look to be so lucky.

So much for getting any work done.
