Access THE370Z from home or work
 

OK being a CIO I just had to ask this question. Where do you access this site from the most, home or work?

I access the site from everywhere. If I'm at work (network engineer), I'm fine surfing the net as long as it's not games or porn.

If I'm anywhere else but work or home, I access the site from my iPhone.

Don't tell him! He's gonna block his minions at teh firewall! :eek:

This kind of is work for me!:ughdance:

This is the wrong economy to be accessing from work. I don't need to give them a reason to do what they would probably already like to, rofl.

Home only, the office frowns on personal computer use.

so no personal emails at work either?

I can access it anywhere, home or work.
My office is small and we have been very "nice" about internet access. Come this Spring though it will be shut down, the head of IT will be flown over from the UK and we will be having a nice chat about how we want to go about locking things down.

Our current plan
~Re-do the firewall
~Blacklist most everything but news, company, search engine websites to start
~Create a whitelist of approved websites
My other plan is under the whitelist of websites to allow people to have one or two websites of their choice which can help "relax" them. Though no forums or game or porn, this will hopefully show trust and if abused we can easily just lock it back down.

I haven't heard of anyone using that plan, almost seems like a psychology experiment.

A bit. :tup:
The other is to show that we trust the employees to do their work, but when work is low they need a break they have a chance to. Trying to eliminate any of those, go crazy with a gun and kill everyone, because we have a few people in the office that might be close if they completely lose internet access.

90% via blackberry. :p

Nope, not really. People do but the policy is work related only. I work for the government so they frown on anything like that. I have a blackberry so i can handle personal business from my phone.

wow, I work for the government too (military contractor) and we can do emails, and most sites, they just block the bad ones.

Home, work, and alot on Iphone

:iagree:

as much as I would love to access THE370 from work, I have never tried, so it "might" be blocked, some sites are, some are not.............. but I don't need the "internet police" listing me as spending xx amount of "work time" in the site............... as much as I would love to access it.

I know that the site is not blocked, because I've gone once or twice when I was expecting a PM from vendors, but not something I would make a habit out of.

In time the employees not producing will be seen, but to say "YOU CAN'T BROWSE THE INTERNETS" is very 1960esque.

It's nothing against you, I'm a recent grad so this kind of hits home (for my generation at least). I do my work, am very productive, and like to hop on the internet every now and then.

It keeps me happy, productive, and enjoying my job. :tup:

:iagree: +1 rep frostie :tup:
