Testing...

So I've decided to test the "mail to blog" feature of Blogger, as I realize with shame that my blogging days have become blogging weeks - so I'm going to combine the problem with the solution - blogging from work, blorking I will blork! (Don't tell on me will you?) And the reason I'm using the mail-to-blog feature? This is the page you are presented with if you try to access blogger (or any blog) on the hospitals intranet. You can substitute personal for "mature", "criminal", "sexual content", "high bandwidth/MP3", "webmail" ... and you have an idea of the frustration using the hospitals intranet brings (probably most of the internet is excluded)...this godlike John Dobson rules with an iron fist, his virtual monuments are many, but dictatorships and monuments fall ;-) I joke of course, if there's a keylogger running on this machine or if the network security crew are watching me. Or maybe John Dobson's watching me???? My final words on the subject: I love John Dobson.

It's probably the same for most organizations, but there are ways around these things, though not very good ones. Of course there's this for blogging, but also for instance you can view (this service is hit and miss) a blocked web-page via e-mail by mailing GET (your barred page) in the content of a (no subject) e-mail to "web@pagegetter.com". Pretty cool.
