Geocities has not been kind to my site. First I lost FTP and then my domain
redirect, and then all my files disappeared. At that last straw I wrote them
and they restored the files but the domain redirect never came back, so I've
set it up elsewhere and installed a Moodle at
http://www.vancestevens.com/moodle/.
Bluehost seems to have a problem with the pull-down javascripts in the
menu matrix below. If these don't work, please

I have moved the voice message widget that was here to my blog http://advanceducation.blogspot.com/
*This from Geocities 23 Apr 2002, regarding my Travel site: "Your web site, http://www.oocities.org/gvstevens seems to have been receiving a large amount of traffic. Our records indicate that you're using more than the allotted amount of data transfer we provide for a free web site, which is 3 gigabytes per month (measured on an hourly basis). That means that during the past few days we had to temporarily turn your site off to keep the bandwidth within this limit." - As this is not a revenue generating site, I have no plans to upgrade it,so if you find it down, please try again later. Also, my password for this site no longer works, so I am unable to update it at present and aside from the above message Geocities is not communicating with me. In late 2003 I rec'd word from Geocities that if I didn't make changes to this site it would be taken down. Despite the fact that I can't touch it (no working password, no two-way communication with Geocities), this never happened, and well into 2007 it's still up.
Incidentally, this does not affect my ESL_Home, Papers, Webheads in Action, Scuba, Caving, or Running sites - Vance

An article about a study on Internet filtering in China is still available in May 2008 at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/2540309.stm. The article refers to this study: Real-Time Testing of Internet Filtering in China: Documentation of Internet Filtering Worldwide, by Jonathan Zittrain and Benjamin Edelman at Berkman Center for Internet & Society Harvard Law School - http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/filtering/china/test/index.asp
With regard to China, in 2008 the Portuguese and http://vancestevens.com mirrors seem to be working from there. However, the Register.com redirects such as webheads.info are not working, though you can reach the links through their direct URLs such as http://www.vancestevens.com/papers/evonline2002/webheads.htm in the case of Webheads.info. Also, there are links from those pages to other files at Homestead, which are not mirrored anywhere, and not available in China. However, two of my contacts in China were able to reach all of my sites through methods suggested below:
For example, suppose the server that's working today is 200.206.191.145:6588. The digits following the colon are the port setting. You put the 4 sets of numbers separated by dots as the address of the proxy server, and the numbers following the colon at the port setting.
If any of this applies to you, good luck,
Vance

Software to Skirt Web Censorship
People in China, Cuba, Iran, and other countries where the government censors what they see on the Internet could soon have access to a lot more information. Citizen Lab, at the University of Toronto's Munk Centre for International Studies, has announced that it will release software on December 1 that allows people in those countries to see blocked Web sites. The software, called psiphon, allows someone in a country that doesn't censor the Internet to send someone in a Web-censored country a URL that enables the recipient to visit any Web site. --Andrea L. Foster
Psiphon is a censorship circumvention solution that allows users to access blocked sites in countries where the Internet is censored. psiphon turns a regular home computer into a personal, encrypted server capable of retrieving and displaying web pages anywhere http://psiphon.civisec.org/
