Roundup of #iranelection, 5:15pm 6/15/09
June 15, 2009This is my quick informal summary after having watched the #iranelection thread for the past day.
* Channel 4 (UK) footage of Basij Islamist Militia shooting into crowd and killing at least 1 (up to 7 casualties have been reported).
http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid1184614595?bctid=26415347001
* @persiankiwi (not sure of gender) reports that more than 100 students missing from Tehran University dorms, reports of several dead from last night.
* @change_for_iran (http://twitter.com/change_for_iran) is also riveting.
* Twitter is going down for maintenance for 90 minutes tonight. Many on the thread are pleading for them (the powers that be at Twitter) to hold off, showing just how essential this service is at this moment.
* Incredible photos here: http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/06/irans_disputed_election.html
* The Iranian Government are obviously locking down all media which might facilitate dissent and incite more rebellion. All mobile phones are down. They are blocking most major media outlets and websites, and there is a cyberwar going on as well. Some are trying a DoS (Denial of Service) attack on Iranian Government websites.
As part of their blockage of internet sites, they are blocking the range of IP addresses that originate from Iran. This effectively shuts out people posting from the scene using Twitter and other micro-blogging services. Some Iranian Twitterers on the ground are requesting that proxies be set up by any on the outside for use which will allow them to continue to use the internet to communicate what is going on to the rest of the world.
Wikipedia: FreeGate is software that enables internet users from mainland China, Iran, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey and UAE, among others, to view websites blocked by their governments
* Here is one tweet from @Change_for_Iran:
“using freegate now, nothing else working. no power in most of the buildings & cellphones & land lines are out again. #iranelection”
* There is an interesting dilemma on the thread because some people (@stephenfry) have been answering this plea by posting the IP addresses for new proxies on #iranelection, and others are saying not to post proxies on Twitter because they are being exposed and shut down.
“If the news is important, it will find you.”

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% certain. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Kudos
nursing facility | February 23, 2017 at 9:53 pm
Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it tough to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? With thanks

Hi there would you mind letting me know which web host you’re working with? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different internet browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster then most. Can you recommend a good internet hosting provider at a fair price? Thanks, I appreciate it!
nursing homes for the elderly | February 23, 2017 at 11:15 pm
I absolutely love your blog and find most of your post’s to be just what I’m looking for. Would you offer guest writers to write content for yourself? I wouldn’t mind writing a post or elaborating on a number of the subjects you write concerning here. Again, awesome site!
personal injury attorney | February 24, 2017 at 12:23 am
I’m not sure exactly why but this site is loading incredibly slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my end? I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.

Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this blog. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s difficult to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and visual appearance. I must say that you’ve done a fantastic job with this. Also, the blog loads extremely quick for me on Opera. Superb Blog!
billboard awards las vegas | February 24, 2017 at 8:25 am
I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
basic web design | February 24, 2017 at 8:48 am
Hello there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

Hello just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same outcome.

My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on various websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey there, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog site in Ie, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, fantastic blog!

Heya! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a few months of hard work due to no back up. Do you have any methods to protect against hackers?

Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up
losing several weeks of hard work due to no backup.
Do you have any solutions to stop hackers?
minecraft | February 25, 2017 at 7:40 am
Amazing blog! Do you have any tips and hints
for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost
on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress
or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there
that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any ideas? Thank you!
Tyrell | February 25, 2017 at 10:36 am
Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the images on this blog loading?
I’m trying to determine if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem
to get there! Thanks

Thanks a lot!

Hi, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can recommend? I get so much lately it’s driving me crazy so any assistance is very much appreciated.

Do you mind if I quote a few of your posts as long as I provide credit and sources back to your weblog? My blog site is in the exact same area of interest as yours and my users would definitely benefit from a lot of the information you present here. Please let me know if this ok with you. Appreciate it!

Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Ie. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The design look great though! Hope you get the issue solved soon. Thanks

Hey there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using? I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
kids health | February 26, 2017 at 3:22 pm
I intended to write you a tiny remark to help say thanks a lot over again considering the remarkable knowledge you’ve provided in this case. It is simply surprisingly open-handed of people like you to allow extensively just what a number of us could possibly have sold as an e-book to help make some money on their own, especially given that you could possibly have tried it in the event you decided. The secrets as well acted to provide a fantastic way to be sure that other people online have the same keenness much like my own to know the truth significantly more with regard to this matter. I am sure there are a lot more pleasurable periods ahead for folks who check out your website.

I have been surfing on-line greater than 3 hours these days, but I by no means found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It¡¦s pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made just right content as you did, the internet can be a lot more useful than ever before.
trudeau legalize marijuana | February 26, 2017 at 4:02 pm
Fantastic blog you have here but I was curious about if you knew of any discussion boards that cover the same topics discussed in this article? I’d really like to be a part of online community where I can get responses from other knowledgeable people that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Many thanks!

I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your website. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Superb work!
canada marijuana | February 26, 2017 at 5:06 pm
Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and all. Nevertheless just imagine if you added some great visuals or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this website could undeniably be one of the greatest in its field. Excellent blog!
tinder dating site | February 26, 2017 at 7:21 pm
Please let me know if you’re looking for a writer for your weblog.
You have some really good articles and I believe I would be a good asset.
If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d really like to write some articles for your
blog in exchange for a link back to mine. Please blast me an email if interested.
Regards!

flakka erowid | February 27, 2017 at 5:39 am
Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
employment agencies tampa | February 27, 2017 at 5:45 am
First off I would like to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing. I’ve had a hard time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints? Thanks!

With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement? My website has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any methods to help prevent content from being ripped off? I’d certainly appreciate it.

Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of
the images aren’t loading correctly. I’m not sure why
but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it
in two different browsers and both show the same results.
