Time to get a new job. - Louis Gray

3G cell phone + USB + tether = no more local network, browse via cell carrier. - Enrique Gutierrez

Whaaa? I agree with Louis, time to look for a new job. Well, once the economy starts shining again anyway.. - deepikaur

Yeah; they budget-cut us to death every dadgummed year, but they blockses NUFFING! Even, ah, naughtiness isn't banned, as long as no laws are broken and no time is stolen from the org. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

@ Kamilah: I now have my laptop hooked up to my work monitor. The laptop is resting on the keyboard holder under my desk with a 'USB Switch' so I can switch from my laptop to the work computer on one monitor. I only have to tap 'Scroll Lock' twice to make it switch back and forth. My laptop is using internet from my Mogul, which acts like a wireless router. *They can't hold me back from FriendFeed!* =D - David Cook

time to break out the iphone! - Sarah Perez

thanks David. I wouldn't have that kind of option if they block me... I seriously might have to go for a smart phone if it happens and fftogo & noiseriver don't work, either. - Kamilah Gill

David, send enough MISSION CRITICAL requests to the Communication Focal Point, which by the way, sounds like a term Orwell would have coined. Send real and authentic requests, and it shouldn't be that hard to come up with a handful of work-related reasons to check FriendFeed. Do enough and the Communication Focal Point will either concede to the necessity of FriendFeed, or they will just get tired of all the requests from you and concede anyway. Either way, you win. - Pete Delucchi
