I can't see it (damn you websense) but I'll assume that because it followed my post that my reaction should be something like this:

Huh. When I uploaded it it kept the original link in the description, maybe that's why. Oh well. Hot Fuzz + Ponies makes me happy.

Two today: First, my 15-month old is now a climber. Everyone is happy except the dog. Second, a new person in my LS is named Bobsacamano. I still haven't seen him in-game.

Yyg, I have major websense too. I was able to download Google Chrome and I can see stuff now I couldn't see before. Try downloading it from Google. Oh, and I have a major firewall blocking downloads too, but google is a trusted site. try it.

It's funny. I do use Chrome. In fact, the IT department here came up with a simple and cost effective web surfing block that proved easy enough to circumvent. They loaded all the computers with IE as the only web browser and disabled the permission to download ANYTHING for anyone who was not an Admin. So... obviously after few attempts, people got the picture and stopped trying. Me? I said F*** IE. IE sucks. So I go and download Google Chrome. Huzzah... it lets me. Who knew?

Turns out that the IT team didn't invest in any kind of locking system at all. They just set parental controls on all the computers to HIGH and cue'd up keywords like GAME and VIDEO to auto-block. These rules of course... did not apply to Chrome. Clever... clever little shrews.

I got away with murder for about 2 months before one of them crossed by my office and gave me the "HE KNOWS!!!!" look while I was watching a video on Youtube.

Busted...

Next day, without a word... Chrome was gone and I was left to IE once again.

Since then, I've personally asked them to unblock a few forums from the list, making them special exceptions... and I've had them give me back chrome but to load it with the same parental locks they has on IE. I just prefer Chrome... that's all.

Why did I read that twice?

This is what happens when the Tasky Mage starts his Alchemy experiments to turn forum posts into gold. He usually ends up tearing the space time fabric and causing all these strange temporal distortions.

From that void the forum monster was spawned, although it seems only I can see it.

@Ygg: I take it you can't use a flash drive with portable apps?

Yyg, you need to set your IT people on fire.

Funny because it's true
