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.

Haha. Easy way around those blocks. Fire fox on a flash drive, and run it off the flash drive.

That's how I got around everything while at school. Was so awesome. XD Until they school decided to shut off entire rows of computer on people (One row was like 10 computers.), and it caused people to get pissed because people didn't save their work every 4-5 minutes like they should. lol

Had to just point out...

I am under Nazi rule. Helen K says "Hi"

Helen Keller can't say "Hi" ... however I appreciate the irony.

Anne Frank was under Nazi rule...

Long story (which I'm going to share in the Off topic chat thread), but my boss texting me this morning saying, "I have FULL confidence in you."

Mum: WhATTTT? I don't want a Tsunami
Me: O.o Wtf?

Leaving the gym today.
One girl talking to another walking down the stairwell to the locker rooms, "Well, you're going to see my pubes."

Parental Bragging

Yesterday my 9 year old son attended his first chess tournament. After three rounds he was one of only a handful of undefeated kids, and took his first loss from the boy who would eventually be the champion. In the end he placed 8th in a field of 30-40 4th graders and his team took away medals for their overall performance.

That's awesome Tasky, I bet you were thrilled.

[Feba]

That's cute, Tasky. Now if you want impressive, get the kid to play Go.


/except there's probably no child Go tournaments in your area
//or other children who play Go
///Which is just fine, find a local Go club and everyone will be super delighted and take the kid in under their wing
