I take that back again. The ability to view images on noiseriver is intermittent. Someone please help me!!!! - Kamilah Gill from fftogo

Kamilah, there is a way to turn images on in FFtoGo. Go to http://www.fftogo.com/setting... and check the box to see thumbnails. Another option: if FB isn't blocked, you can use the FF app in FB. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Thank you, thank you. I'm in a panic... Facebook has been blocked forever - Kamilah Gill from fftogo

enabling thumbnails unblocks about 25% of things. I'm forced to hit "enter" for each image that doesn't open. I'm in full-blown hating mode over this right now. These idiots. I feel like screaming. I've Googled all over the place for help. ProgrammableWeb, Mashable, etc. - Kamilah Gill from fftogo

don't you have any free WiFi @ workplace for private needs? WiMax coverage from http://www.xohm.com/ ? - A.T.

no silpol, I don't. I don't have a laptop, either for work or for private use. I have a simple cellphone without web access. I will probably get unlimited SMS to make up for some of this problem (right now I have limited messages because most of the time I just used FF for free) - Kamilah Gill from fftogo

a laptop with a 3g dongle? who needs the work network ;) - alphaxion

Hi Kamilah! Are you using NoiseRiver with a mobile? Never tried it myself on a mobile, I'm sorry for the annoyance :( - directeur from NoiseRiver

Get an iPhone. I am talking to you from mine. - Robert Scoble

well, if there is no free WiFi then only WiMax (Xohm, see URL above at home) or 3G via dongle and netbook will help you -- netbook costs cheap nowadays and Wimax or 3G in bulk (unlimited) shall be cheap too... - A.T.

I give this advice because the name of your (apparent from facebook) employer makes me think you will have sort of *digital jail* at work rather sooner... - A.T.

I agree. The iPhone's been my best workaround so far. - David Wynn

the problem you will have with using your iphone or your own netbook is that it will make it rather obvious to everyone around you that you aren't working. - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

The whole idea of filtering the "distracting content" is silly. When you're willing to work, you're working, when you are not, there's little filtering can do. People should be paid for the work done, not for mindlessly staring at the screen pretending that they're working. If one reads frf "all day" but has the work done, what's the problem? If not, maybe it's not frf's fault? - 9000

Thanks so much, everyone. I only use FF on breaks, at lunch, and when there is no work to do. I wish I could run out and get an iPhone right away, but I probably can't afford one. Not sure about a netbook, either. I might be able to save up a little for one of those options. Silpol, you're right about the digital jail, probably (& btw thanks for not telling where I work on FF). I can deal with fftogo probably (& secondarily noiseriver) until some genius finds and blocks these, too. - Kamilah Gill from fftogo

directeur, I use noiseriver through the pc browser. It looks like complete crap on ie6. I'm typing this comment right now through fftogo, which looks much better. - Kamilah Gill from fftogo

a $99 Acer netbook with $60 a month service might be an option, if I can also use it as a phone..... - Kamilah Gill from fftogo

bummer. - Thomas Hawk

Couldn't you use ff through a proxy Kamilah? - Gordon Swaby

Gordon, I'd probably get in trouble for messing with proxies - Kamilah Gill from fftogo
