Lost Laowai Celebrates 2nd Birthday
I’m a bit crap at remembering birthdays, and so this is a bit late – but Lost Laowai officially turned 2 years old a week or so ago. It’s a bit hard to believe that it was that long ago I started clacking away on my keyboard attempting to put together some sort of site …Read More

The China Blog Network
China bloggers unite! The China Blog Network has arrived. In an effort to tie together all us sinobloggers, we’re launching the China Blog Network, a (appropriately enough) network of China blogs that all link together in a ring-around-the-rosie style (we’re praying we don’t all fall down). Though most of us link to each other through …Read More

HHR Back Online
Happy New Year – the Hao Hao Report is back! Thanks for everyone’s patience while I wrestled with getting this back up and running.

HHR: More hao-looking than ever…
Well, with YouTube blocked in China, and all the search engines all getting redirected to Baidu, what’s a boy to do but play with himself… erm… his Web sites. I adore the Hao Hao Report. She’s my little baby, but her looks have always irked me. Due to a rather crappy separation between source code …Read More

Feedup with Feedburner
In a last ditch effort to get my feeds working again, I wrote Feedburner. Their response, despite not being what I was hoping for, was at least honest. They’ve basically given up, and so shall I. Hello, Unfortunately, at this time we don’t have any new information to share and any blocks you noticed a …Read More
China Expat Advice
CPC Blocking RSS in PRC is BS
Being a blogger in China comes with some cool benefits. Interesting content is generally only a trip to the supermarket away; every topic is controversial, so comments and conversation is a near guarantee; China’s a hot global topic, and so a reader-base is not something you need to pursue with much vigilance. However, damned if …Read More

Lost Laowai Gets All Two Point Oh’d
As I mentioned the other day, or was it the other week? Anyway, as I mentioned, Lost Laowai has been/is going through a rather extensive redesign and upgrade. There were a lot of reasons I wanted to scrap the old design, not the least of which being that much of the design wasn’t deliberate – …Read More

Has the GFW put out the Feedburner fire?
I’ve been trying to access my Feedburner feeds for about 12 hours with no luck. Could it be? No, please Buddha, no! Don’t tell me the Great Firewall of China has finally figured out we could still read blocked blogs via their feeds. Ok, perhaps I’m over-reacting, and perhaps it’s just a localized outage or …Read More
