LEAD IN PENCIL

Lunchtime surfing at work is often spoiled by slow connections (because everyone else is checking the cricket score or golf). What's worse is the browser filter software (Finjan).



As a manager, my view is that it is my responsibility to ensure that my staff do not abuse their internet access, not some idiot internet manager (who knows nothing about the internet). It should be the same policy for phone abuse - especially here where we have a business need to dial international numbers. But, no. Some security idiot has decided that we need to be nannied so that we don't surf on to porn sites. They are also worried about alleged sites that might use malicious coding to hack into our servers. Bollocks.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer (what a great name!) reports that software installed library computers in the town of Toppenish, Washington State has blocked users accessing information on the town of Toppenish, Washington State. That's Top-penis-h, if you're keeping score.

Garbage in, garbage out.
