It's official!
« on: December 22, 2010, 08:53:52 PM »
I'm going to be spending more time around here. I don't know if that's good or bad for the rest of you! lol! Unfortunately for me, the office decided to increase intraweb usage monitoring and installed an even more annoying firewall which means I can't really do much work on my wesbites anymore, and that's what kept me away from here. Pretty much every site I own or visit for the purpose of conducting my side business is now blocked. It's like they looked at my profile and based their firewall rules on my surfing patterns. Sure, there are ways around it, but they've gone mad with power! Monitoring every little click. I need to behave for now :)

I thought you were going to say you got layed off.  Well good.  We need some banter around here.

As a systems administrator who has had web/content filtering as a part of his job duties, I can say that I have actually created webfiltering policies on a WebSense server exactly the way you just described.

 We do that here?  How does one go about getting that started?  Or do you have to be someone particular?

Where there's a will, there's probably a disgruntled relative out there who feels they are being shafted.
