Ryan McLaughlin, a very innovative blogger and long-term resident of China has just released Censortive, a WordPress plugin which converts words into images which fit seamlessly into your blog post, allowing it to subvert keyword filtering. Chinese character support is still being developed. Any suggestions?

    I’m somewhat concerned about a long-term foreign resident of China - being a fairly long-term foreign resident myself - being named in full for the development of software that may be used to subvert China’s - ahem - ’security’. Though the ’security’ bods aren’t much up on doing their job properly (whatever that may mean) and a lot of stuff slips through, they don’t take kindly to having noses thumbed at them publicly. I don’t know how the gentleman mentioned feels about all this or, indeed, if he’s been consulted but can I suggest his name be removed from this piece, particularly if he is not aware of its being there?
