I may have just pwned myself.

That Bert and Ernie gif that was my avatar was from jj.am, which is a nws blockpage site.

IT just took my computer, saying it had a virus that "kept pointing the browser to a restricted webpage".

I suspect it's not a virus, it's that pd.com kept directing to jj.am.

So, I'm clearly in violation of company policy.

Now, I'm just waiting for security to show up and escort me out.

I may actually have to pull the "Discordianism is my religion, you can't fire mr for that" card.

I doubt they'll can you.  When people here get caught, they get written up.

I don't know, I got booted from a gig for posting here once.  4 years ago almost now, but still...

your best bet might be to explain it like you just did here.  they're tech guys, they should understand what you mean, then promise not to do it again.

good luck.

-A review of your history will show it pointing towards JUST that image.  No naughty stuff.  NOt that I really know such things, but a search of what you've actually been looking at has always been invovled in incidents I've seen.  Obviously, no REALLY REAL PORN

-It would pooint the same to anyone else who accesses the site, right?  You could be pointe at all sorts of URL's you have no control over.

-Companies SHOULD block pages they don't like.  If it's not blocked, they owe you the benefit of the doubt and a reasonable look at the content accessed.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

Okay, now I'm paranoid.  Though, I get the impression they aren't terribly concerned with what happens here.  Most of the rest of the hospital doesn't even realize we exist.

I know for a fact that this site pings our nanny monitor for calling to otherwise blocked sites because I've discussed the firewall with our tech guy, who happens to be the owners son.  He doesn't care but he did ask me what this place was.  When I told him, he gave me this slightly squinty eyed, head leaned back slightly look and just went "uh hu"

never talked about it again.
