I think they just changed the webfilters.
I think PD.com has some sort of spell cast upon it.
All Most images, however, are blocked.

And my first thought was if you've been popping on here a lot, then they were damned dirty and needed changing.....
Sorry, I'm on head cold meds..... things just pop out.....

Yep. I can't see about 90% of the images, now.

Bastards!
does your place use websense? A bunch of sites just got added to the filter at my workplace.
the funny one - this morning they sent around an e-mail about a new marketing video they put on youtube, everybody go look!
at 1 PM, youtube got shut out by websense :lulz:
as for IRC, do you use mibbit.com/chat ? that's the only way I can get on at work since all the IRC ports are blocked

Yeah, we have websense, and yeah, I use mibbit.

The IT staff aren't the problem, and in fact are very reasonable folks. It's the damn Websense filter.
Find the most junior member of the IT staff--some help desk lackey dud with lots of pimples and an ugly shirt. They're weakest when they are the lowest in the geek eschelon, for they are shunned by main stream society for their computerly ways and also shunned by their own type as a sort of hazing to enter the elite IT clique.
Corner him. The young ones have not yet learned how to live entirely off coffee and Mountain Dew with no waste, so he'll occasionally need to pee. Shine a bright light on him. Lights are against the way of his people, so he will be stunned and disoriented. Then, STRIKE!
You can go the humanitarian route of simply cutting on him a little bit and sending him back to his herd as a warning, but in truth, once he has been so damaged, the pack will not accept him anymore and he'll be stuck telling Sales how to use the "print" function in their word processor for the rest of his life. It's better to just kill him and send pieces of him back to IT. Write your threat in some sort of code; the geeks like those "mind game" things.
Although the help desk lackey has little value to them, they will get your message. They will also have to help Sales until they get a new lackey, and that kind of harrowing experience should make them jelly in your hands. You may set the terms of their surrender.
Always have the IT department as a vassal state! Always!

I just came dangerously close to pissing in my pance. :lulz:
I don't even have any filters or restrictions on the internet here and I want to go on an IT department safari anyways.
They're so cute when they get scared.

DCup ->
:potd:
it would cost some $$ but you could get a netbook and one of those "internet everywhere" USB sticks (Payne had one of those with him at DoD). they're really not that expensive anymore, and a netbook is just a very useful thing to have (it's just like a laptop, except that you can actually fit it into your bag! mine is a German rebrand of the MSI Wind, comes with windows XP).
Show them what your like without stress relief

Wow, Slanket and Dcup made me :lulz:
This thread is awesome!
options: I can make a new url that websense wont know about for this place.
Or you could bribe the IT guy to add an exception on their websense admin page for this site.
I think that's already the case. This seems to be the only forum my firewall allows, for some odd reason.

I would have thought it would block us under humor, but maybe were tagged as religious or something.
