    How tight is your clientco's web permissioning?

    Been at new client co for 3 weeks and their web permissioning is as tight as a gnats chuff.

    No games(ala PC games reviews etc) sites , no ebay, no "Messageboard and Forums", nothing of much interest available.

    Not sure what Contractor UK is classed as by "Web Sense" but I can still get here.

    Work though lunch anyone??

    I have a little dongle thing that gets me broadband over mobile.

    Just plug it in a USB port Windows, Apple or Linux and it mostly self installs.

    Surfs faster than most clients networks.

    Which is nice.

        On your own laptop, or the clients' provided machine? If the latter, some network admin will cack themselves when they find out, shortly before you get marched off site

            They would have to be good to find out.

            And they're permies. So that they ain't.

            They're so anal as to have software to measure how much you're working.

            I've subverted that too.

                Yeah, time tracking by application so they can see how long you're in word, ie, eclipse, etc.. Logs websites and pages.

                I just have a little script that listens in to what others in the local net are doing, filters, randomise and replay. Simples.

                  No web access for contractors here. Permies get it though. Great when you need to find the answer to something, which would normally be a 30 second Google away. Welcome to 1992.
