Not happy, the fun police at work have blocked XDC, now I cannot browse at will during my busy days in the office!!! MOD twats!
When I was in the fun police I had to block all kinds of crap – seriously if we didn’t the amount of shite that gets onto the computers in such a short space of time by people playing ‘free’ spyware infested games and these phishing sites and stuff would give us more hassle cleaning it up afterwords. Time is money in business and wasting time cleaning up employees mess which shouldn’t have even been there is money wasted. Added to the infestations, you’ll be surprised how much net access reduces staff productivity – you’re there to work not wank off to goat porn. Blocking individual sites would be a bit twatish though, really you have to block the whole internet and allow a few select trusted/safe sites. Prevention is better than cure, so there really isn’t anything you can do except beat the crap out of the mongrols holiday shopping untill your staff cna be trusted enough to actually do some work/not fuck up the machines 😛
You bloody civil servants should be working, not surfing the net! 🙂 I pay my taxes 😛
I know many bigger companies are doing now what Legit says – blocking the whole internet by default, and only unblocking certain sites as needed.
For example, Rolls Royce opens up the BBC & Sky News sites as they think it reasonable people can read the news & sport in their breaks and occasionally during the day. But that it’s taking the piss to be ebaying and doing forums during work hours.
It’s not too hard to argue with that. As someone who’s working life has bracketed the before & after of email and internet, I can vouch for the real risk in productivity that these tools raise.

You need to recommend an E-Break policy..why shouldn’t they let you perform these few very reasonable activities.

I am shocked that you boys have got away with it so long 🙂
People who insist on installing every malicious application ever devised onto work computers should have those computers swapped for typewriters. Leave the internet to those of us who know how to abuse it properly.
