Browsing the web from Guatemala is always an adventure. Works okay when there’s electricity, which hasn’t been very steady while I’ve been down here over the last few weeks (there have been some big blackouts here related to a sketchy power grid, and unusually intense windstorms). What sucks worse than the lights dimming, or DSL or sat bombing out? Constant Google cockblocking. I keep getting these dumb-ass messages that say I’m spyware. Google demands a captcha input (en Ingles), and even after I comply, I’m blocked (now en Espanol). Other pals who are native chapines, or who live in Costa Rica and Nicaragua, are saying over IM that this is super super common for them down here, and friends in Ghana get this all the time, too. Gah. Sorry my ass!
