Missing Media Lesson - now you see it, now you don't

April 21, 2008 at 06:41 PM posted in General DiscussionI got an email telling me there was a new media lesson today. The link didn't work to the lesson, but the link to the PDF did work. Later when I go to work, the link to the lesson did work, but now the link appears broken again. Trying to navigate through lessons doesnt show the new media lesson either.
The lesson is called: 东航返航事件。

Sorry, guys, we had to remove that lesson... Us accessing the site is more important!

Sorry for the delay, guys.
We had thought that the topic was safe because it has been reported in the Chinese media, but apparently we were wrong. We seem to be the victim of keyword filtering, and we're having trouble accessing our own site. The obvious solution is to remove the lesson, but the issue is compounded by the use of a new network at the new office, and apparently some weird DNS issues.
We're working on it!

Mike,
I guess we are just experiencing the moving-office aftermath which results in an overall reduction of teacher visibility. Given that situation, I am willing to be a bit more lenient towards CPod for this very week ;)

In my iTunes feed that podcast is somehow listed as May 21st, not April 21st. Could the problems come from that?

Actually, I’ve already written up a comment in Chinese, although I’ve NOT listened to the lesson yet, and I am waiting for the missing lesson to be uploaded again. If you would like to prepare the lesson, please click on this link.

Lesson still not there - I am wondering whether it has been censored

I followed the links, read the article and the corresponding media-MP3. Unfortunatelly the MP3 did not match the article (although it covered the same subject).
The core lesson content (lesson, dialogue, expansion, exercises), is still not up. Hope it comes up tomorrow. Subject is interesting and there are some language points I think are worth covering also.
