...and hello again.

There has been a glitch in the UAE's internet connections (what's new?). This involved the filters that block 'undesirable sites' such as Livejournal. The glitch, lasting the past week, meant that users in the UAE could not connect to many mainstream sites, such as google, but could access the previously-blocked sites.

Therefore, I THOUGHT that the unblocking of LJ was a permanent one. But things have reverted to the status quo.
