They’re blocking more websites

Ξ November 26th, 2008 | → 0 Comments | ∇ work, internet, things that suck |

I was able to access the internet at work. There are a bunch of sites that I’m unable to get to like MySpace, FaceBook and Ebay. I was able to get regular sites including blogs. I came back to work today and everything is blocked. I can only get news sites now. I need something to read during lunch.

I wonder if it’s a corporate block or if someone is turning in sites individually?

 

So is it spam or not?

Sometimes it’s easy to tell if something is spam. It’s just obvious links to drug sites, p0rn or stuff like that. Other times it’s not so easy to tell though.

I have a innocuous looking comment on my other blog. It has a helpful suggestion as well. The suggestion was something that I’ve been thinking about (but hadn’t verbalized on my blog) for a while. But upon closer inspection, the link was to a email address and the ip address led to domain registrar.

I think the person wants their first comment approved so that they can come back and spam me later. Those subsequent comments would be auto approved on my blog. Unless I’m extra vigilant about looking at my dashboard (which I usually am), the comments would get through.

What do you think? How do you decide which comments to let through and which ones to keep an eye on?

 

Doing business online

Ξ January 7th, 2008 | → 0 Comments | ∇ work, internet, blogging, blog |

I conduct all of my business online. It’s just a matter of convenience really. And the best part is that I can do everything from home and work.

Yup don’t tell my boss but I do everything from work. Everything from banking to paying bills, even getting life insurance quotes. During an average week I spend more waking hours at my job than anywhere else so it just makes sense that I conduct business from work. For example the handle on my tub is loose so later on today or tomorrow I’ll call my maintenance man to come over and fix it for me.

My boyfriend doesn’t have internet access at work so I realize how fortunate I am to be able to do this stuff here. I try not to take advantage and only blog and stuff during my lunch hour or whenever we’re really slow at work. I never blow off work to play on the internet. Unless I’m sleepy and need the distraction. Speaking of which, I’d better get back to work now.

 

You Tube is getting plenty of people in trouble

I have never used You Tube. Well, I have posted movie and/or music trailers on my blogs. But I haven’t posted videos of me or my friends that we’ve taken.

On todays newscast, they showed someone driving an ambulance with the sirens blaring. He also had the music blasting and was taking his hands off the wheel and dancing! He posted it on the internet and now he’s facing criminal charges and may get fired from his job.

They’ve also showed people attacking strangers at sporting events. Oh boy, ha ha that’s funny right? No, not really and these people are facing disciplinary action. Duh stop posting incriminating evidence on the web.
