The proxy server at work (Websense) has been filtering out most public photo-sharing sites for a while now. One of the few exceptions was all bar the farm5 server on Flickr, so at least I could see SOME photo posts.
As of this afternoon, the whole of Flickr is filtered so bang goes my TP browsing enjoyment. They don't even relax it during our lunch time. :razz:
The explanation from the networks team is that it's set by the supplier in the filter list and they don't touch it as it's 'industry standard'. I've been advised to escalate it to HR if there's a problem. :nono:
PCI compliance. What a bore! :shake:
'Why not use your iPhone?', you might ask.
Because despite having an Orange mast on the roof, 3G doesn't work in the office. It works briefly (with 2 bars) early in the morning but soon fades to nothing as more people try to use it. There's no public WiFi spot within reach.
Fed up. Rant over.
