Surely I'm not the only one, How do you guys go about doing it?
I'm pretty mobile all day at my job, luckily I have a laptop with onboard wireless, I've got WIFI hot spots all over town! NO need to worry about network administrators.
Rock On you Talkbass Work Rebels!

Sneaking? Unless a chief comes walking in, I'm the boss... So I don't sneak... Most of the time... Always have work stuff up on another screen... Sometimes I even use it... |

As long as I get my work done (which has been quite a bit lately) I can get away with surfing and "listening" to movies/music. I am currently "listening" to The Matrix.

Things used to be different but a few tools showed up that allow logging everything and one vicious program called "Surf Control" that flags good and "bad" sites to a log file with your name on it. 
So only KNOWN safe sites are viewed from work now at "legal" times.
I LOVE bass and love TB but 3 people depend on me to provide for those nasty habits like living indoors and using money to buy food and stuff SO it ain't worth getting unemployed.

Just out of curiosity.

My boss is laid back, so he doesn't mind as long as we get our work done. Plus, we're on salary. If it were ever an issue to where it was blocked again, I could remote into a server in our DMZ and surf from there.

Just out of curiosity. | We go through corporate servers and they seem to have this installed at the local sites's server(s) as well(not on my PC). Here: http://www.websense.com/acquisition/...Customers.html http://www.websense.com/global/en/scwelcome/
