My IT department is bloody sneaky. For months, years, I've had no problems blogging at work when logged in to the work server. Having limited bandwidth is okay. I'll live. But over a weekend, access is suddenly denied to sign-ins and comments on blogspot. The server allows sign-ins to livejournal, twitter and every other thing, but not blogspot. DUMB DUMB DUMB.
After going up in flames at 8.30 this morning and growling about in the office, I wrote a note to the IT department to ask why has access been suddenly denied. I ain't giving up without a fight! Luckily there are many other options are available if IT refuses to budge.
I'm not inclined to bring the laptop to office and surf on mobile broadband. Not when I have wireless @ sg and wi-fi available in the building. And tadaaaaah, I've got the BB. That's going to be my lifesaver. I haven't been in love with a phone this much since dunno when.
On hindsight, I don't have it as bad as the friends who are in the banks and really have to lug along mobile broadband or depend solely on their BBs and iphones. We have it better than the friends who are working in China and have to play hide and seek daily to get around The Great Firewall.
The IT department thinks that I will now never be able to blog or comment on blogs at work.
See. I can. *flips middle finger in the air*

Sneaky! Declare war.
eh. you're at work- NOT supposed to do other things! must sell your soul to the office form 9am - 6pm!
yeap. i've resigned to the horribly limiting China networt. But it just makes me more knowledgable of ways to overcome the firewalls. When there's a will, there's a way.
don't get angry! get even. get around them!
hahaha... Indeed when there's a will, there is a way. How is anybody going to stop you my dear Imp? :)
haha... like your last sentence! got attitude! ;D

IT pple are usually at the mercy of the big bosses, they probably doing this cos some big boss read some story bout social networking sites screwing up the workplace...

cavalock: i doubt the big bosses would do this actually. it's prob an autobot that's shutting active sites out. access to twitter and facebook, wordpress and other blog domains are fine. so i've an equally good story to spin to get my access back up. let's see if they'll bite.
lms: lucky you!
Same things as mine last time.
But since the PC was broken and need to be quarantined for couple of days, now I can freely access any sites at work. Yuuhuuu!!! =)
Pondering to get a BB as well, but still saving up ;)
