Topic: Work has blocked my accses to Flare

After being a member with this group since 1996, work has caught up with me, and blocked Flare (and Ex Isle) from my computer at work. I hate it, but it means I'll have to spend less time online, but it will be quality time.

So...did they speak to you about it or just block access?
You might still be able to back-door it via a search engine keyed to a particular page or topic (like googling the name of this particular thread).

Sometimes works.

It's just blocked, but where i work, it's best not to give anything for anyone to use against you.

If possible, set up a new Flare account from a co-worker's computer and let the fun begin!

You could also try a proxy.

Cybercafes.... wireless...lunchtime.... but yeah. i agree on the choice for avoidance of work antaganism. but you can always surf at lunch, outside from a wireless source (you got a starbucks near you?)

I'm most amused by the fact that it apparently took his employers 12 years to catch up with him. [Wink]
