Grrrr…

Post by WestwayKid »

My work network has decided to now block IMCT. If I’m scarce the next few days, just getting my other laptop fired back up. Have not turned it on in ages.

Decided that 7 hours a day during work hours on here was more than enough, eh?

Lemme talk to your boss because we're going to have to consider not renewing our contract with … whatever it is you do.

Uh oh, think it was all the talk about the Replacements that caused them to block you? :mrgreen:

Ha, ha. Not sure! It wasn't that I was on the board during work hours, but that I use my work laptop all the time.

My employer blocked non-approved sites, even when I was logged in from my home IP, guess it's part of the bigger security picture.

I thankfully dont do end user support but I can say you really dont want to do anything other than work on your work computer. You give your employer access to too much info and can give them reason to fire you.

If you don't have your own computer make a bootable linux USB stick/drive and use that for OS and storage. And work will be none the wiser.

I guess we'll see where they end up.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
