#14Is it because of some govern"mental" issue or just some technical problem?
not clear. might be DNS poison... since a trace returns a functional path and using an alternative DNS it seems to work.

#15My blog, http://www.in-the-attic.com is hosted on Github pages, I have tested against the site this post links to and my site is accessible. IP it resolves to is 204.232.175.78 and this is the Github pages IP address.

It is usually the first Thursday of the month; last one was two weeks ago. We're having the next one a bit late because of the holidays.
See you in a month.

I was unable to open http://openhack.github.com (also on github pages) so it seems to be targeted.

But I'd assume you'd just Streisand Effect the project if it was closed down, almost inevitable once mongol was released, it'd just be forked.
Unless the block was a culmination of other factors that I don't know about, then I'd love to hear more.

Yeah, this is happening because I specify the A Name record for the in-the-attic.com domain, if I hit gkwelding.github.com which is the github page itself then it's also blocked. Looks like some DNS FUBAR'ness is occurring somewhere.
