A Sad Day At Work

Liquidtide · 2004-03-25, 05:03 PM

I work for a County Government. Our IT dept. uses www.websense.com nazis to block "inappropriate" websites (though you would still be shocked as to what I can get to. Things like sex, auctions, and all email programs are blocked. Also games were like yahoo games, or newgrounds etc. However as I began my normal morning with a cup of coffee and Espn.com and hopefully PSU I find they have blocked PSU...

sadness ensued, like I lost a long life friend. So needless to say I will be posting much less on this board. If anyone has any clue as to bypassing the websense shiat let me know.

www.proxify.com

Learn it, love it, live it. You'll only be able to read the boards unless you pay their fee though.

I will try that link, however that site may be blocked as well.

my school has a cheap blocking program but you can just bypass it if you go to "My Computer."

I think a 6th grader wrote it.

my school uses the www.8e6.com nazi's shit.

try adding a S to http

like HTTPS:\\ instead of HTTP:\\

www.world.altavista.com go there, use the babelfish translator, put in the URL, and select "French to english" and it'll work, some things will be wierd, like words ending in "'s" will be capitalized and shit. Anyways, it works

just tried that babelfish translator thing for fun.

"about us" here on PSU main page got translated into "butt custom".

not kidding here, try it for yourself.
