Big Ben's chimes

Instead of hearing Big Ben ringing in the new year over the BBC World Service on the shortwave radio, I'm hearing it ring over their iPhone app.

Cheaper for them, and better sound quality for me. The joys of living in the future ...

Happy New Year to the folks across the pond!

Do ya suppose there's a smallish conspiracy to get the non-russian ljr's off, by making things difficult?

No, I suspect it's the other way around, with (multiple) somebodies in Russia trying to make life difficult for Russian bloggers. Apparently LJ is the main Russian-language blog host.
