Goodmorning, as some of you know I have been struggling with
several webhosters to find one that doesn’t kill my links for
what ever reason. Now Mediafire seemed to be a real good one and
it would be if it didn’t get blocked in China. I think the World
Wide Web should be available worldwide but it is not. What I shall
do is use Rapid Share untill a link gets killed. If so please report
it to me ASAP and I’ll replace it with a Mediafire link. This way the
whole world can still benefit as it should.

Some listener suggested a new Global Sampler and since I’m far behind
on them I’ll make a few to reconnect with the present.
This Sampler shows the posts between march 1 and march 10 2009.
Catching up slowly but sure.
