    Panera's network was entirely down today: it'll be a while before I bother to try again.

  • Sunday 27 March 2005 : Panera Block List Still Silly

    Five sites blocked in January are now available at Panera, but seven that were available in January are now blocked. Two of the newly-unblocked sites are ones that I thought made sense to have blocked; only one of the newly-blocked sites even makes the least bit of sense.
