I finally moved my team, which got me a different job profile, along with it, a complete drop from the ultimate position- a direct internet connection. that essentially allowed me to go anywhere and do anything and not worry about the fact that the site minder software wont be bothering me! 🙂 But then, as they say- all good things shall pass!Â
so, I changed, and lost those privileges as well. No admin access, no internet access, nothing. well, truly a second class citizen! 🙂
but the crux of the issue is – how useful is websense? people always find ways around systems. Like with the great ultrasurf. Websense’s only nemesis – where the software seems to tunnel its way through the software to give the user unlimited access.
Them folks at work – have decided to restrict almost all sites that will allow a person to maintin their sanity. all sports sites are blocked, all entertainment sites are blocked, hell – even blogs are blocked. Little do they realise that with the heralding in of the web2.0 system – blogs are where the information is. All information – opinions are now  blogged. and if the access is not allowed- well, truly – it sucks!Â
