Considering how many sites/ports Lehman Brothers blocks (NYTimes crossword puzzle, aim, etc), I'm surprised that I was able to access this site. I guess "this site has a valid business justification." Shrug.
They didn't bother to block aim.com. I can log into aimexpress, but it doesn't seem to be working properly.
I haven't had much work to do since I got here. The first day was just getting accounts set up and meeting people. The next day was wishing all the accounts had actually been approved, with a little bit of actual work. Day three was cut short for a scavenger hunt, and of course, so we could be paid. Since what little work I had was finished yesterday morning, I haven't really done much of anything today (not including the latimes crossword - they forgot to block that one). Unfortunately, I'm going to have to take a break from my busy schedule for an afternoon out with the department. Community service cleaning up an uptown park, followed by dinner somewhere. So yeah, aside from waking up ridiculously early, it hasn't been bad at all.
I found an actual slashdot subscriber here, which made me feel quite a bit better about myself. Then again, I was the only one who got his joke about nigritude ultramarine....
Back to, um, work?

That there's a word search. You can click "Master" -- which is really cool because they don't give you the list of words you have to look for. It makes it tough.
I'm very disappointed in you, Sharon. You should know how to circumvent port/site blocking! Set up a proxy server somewhere (doesn't matter where, as long as it's always connected; do it on your cable modem at home), then set the machine to connect through that on port 80. It'll go right by anything they're likely to have set up.
Actually, there's already a proxy server - a guy in networking set one up. I just don't have access to it until Monday, and it wasn't worth it for me to set up my own for two days.
Telnet AIM is also an option... unless they don't let you telnet to CUNIX either...
And what could be more innocent-looking than a unix window?
They don't allow telnet to non-Lehman machines - that was the first thing I tried. :-)
