Jitters

I am not a computer expert. The knowledge about Internet Technology is equally scanty. However, I am now hooked to computer and Internet. I am able to make good use of computer and Internet. As a result, I have become dependent upon both the things. Therefore, if any disruption in my computer or in my access to Internet comes, I become jittery. In case of Internet, there are more problems. In case of Internet, the main disruption which is hated by me is any obstruction in accessing the Internet. The second disruption was experienced during the month of July 2006, when the Government of India had banned some of web sites. The incidence is now hovering on the mind as a fear.

On September 14, as I have pointed out in my postings at Blogspots again Banned in India and then at Blog Ban Revisits and then at Blog Ban Revisits , I faced the same problem somewhere around 3.30 p.m. I immediately reacted and made the above mentioned postings. I faced not only one problem. It had exploded like a bombshell to me when I found that I could not open those sites even with the help of proxy servers. The proxy servers did not display the site. One of the proxy site which was developed during July 06, that was indblogs.com did not open at all. The search option of the explorer opened totally a different site. I typed an immediate reaction. It reads,
Earlier, the people were able to access their banned blogs from the proxy server. However, this time it is not that easy. The various proxy servers are not showing the results. Secondly, the pkblogs and inblogs are also not showing the results. The pkblogs returns a null result. The inblogs takes to totally a strange site. This time, the government is showcasing its technical expertise also. However, this time, the typepad blogs have been spared.

However, before I made more comments, and I was thinking and forming in my mind many more responses, I found that the sheets which I have opened for civil war memories was being displayed. It was nearly 4.15 p.m. Soon I tried to open my own site. I found that everything had turned to normal. But before that I have already made the crises posting on my blogs.

It seems that there was a technical problem during that hour. I have not found similar reporting by any other blog or web site. May be there was some problem with my ISP. But some of the web sites were easily accessible. In any case, I have again learned a lesson, that I have yet to learn more about working on Internet. Earlier during the Reservation Issue, I had learned to wait and watch before making any controversial postings. I have matured to some extent. But it was different when I was not able to access the sites and even proxy servers were not responding.
I can think about other possibilities of that blackout of the web sites during that hour. But, now everything this functioning in a normal manner as before, I do not think that I should stretch it further. I am sure that the problem was there. It may be a problem with my ISP or some other technical glitch about which I do not have any understanding. Now, I am more particular in making my postings. Next time, I will make such postings only on Cyber Mole.
