Let’s welcome Sunita Giri – our new blogger

sunita If you were fed up with my writing, you will be relieved to know that a new writer, Sunita Giri, will be writing regularly. And, I have nowhere to go – so, I will also be writing.

Apart from writing, Sunita is a designer of woolen dress. Her favorite is bandanna (Dumb me, I didn’t know what they were until she showed me her photo wearing one). I wondered why it was called bandanna. Band makes sense but Anna doesn’t. I hope Sunita is mulling over my proposal to call them BandSunita or something like that.

She is also selling them if anybody is interested. Please fill in the form below if you have any questions about them or want to order.

Reverse trend – now it's not Wikileaks that goes offline

MasterCard was forced offline for hours by an online assault, led by a group of hackers, to protest against MasterCard’s decision to block WikiLeaks donation. After temporarily taking offline the websites of Post Finance, the Swiss bank which closed WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s account, the same group was responsible to the DDOS (distributed denial of service) attack on MasterCard website.

In contrast to that, with numerous mirrors, Wikileaks now is highly unlikely to be taken offline as before. Some researchers suggest that it has grown in such a scale that, it is nearly immune to takedown. 14 different name servers across 11 different networks make wikileaks.ch a lot less vulnerable than wikileaks.org. In addition to that, about 1000 mirror sites all over the world are mirroring the whole of its content, making it difficult to censor the contents.
